I'll give you some examples of what I found different and difficult because of changes to the explorer shell interface. Simple things like even finding things I knew how to do before and how they are now done and look makes using VISTA difficult versus how they were done in OLDER models of Windows (XP/2000/Server 2003) and there is little question of that much. Microsoft is making giant mistakes for a company that used to have 'backward compatible' at its heart, in changing the user interface for the operating system as different as vista is now versus its older predecessors. I think that is what the poster whom you responded to meant to state, and I am definitely stating this. The DRM crippling of musical formats is another screwup that people do not want and yet Microsoft is trying to force it down our throats (we're not 'eating it' and their sales slump this very report article thread on slashdot alone shows this since it is part of its topic). OpenGL gaming is another sore point and one you will find is messed up badly (all so Directx can be 'king') that is a clear example of this since games that use it either will not insall on vista, or won't run at all (not without hacks to the OpenGL icd iirc and then? The games do not look as they should anyways IF you can get them to work at all if they use OpenGL). The hosts file in vista also no longer can use a 0 based blocking ip address (versus 0.0.0.0 which vista still can use, but it is bigger and slower on/from disk to load because of this, and worse still using the default blocking loopback adapter address of 127.0.0.1) and this really bothered me because it is an evidence of taking something efficient and ruining it, by making it less efficient.
RiotingPacifist, I think you're just upset that you had answers you did not count on here http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1209893&cid=27700467 that are in favor of Windows uptime and stability at a major stock exchange, and for far longer than anything you could put up using Linux. When NYSE gets to 5 years or better of 99.999+% uptime, then & only then RiotingPacifist, might be able to talk (because the best you had from the other stock exchanges that used Linux was what - 2 yrs. at best? Not even 1/2 as much time as Windows had)
You are seeing port filtering controls Computershack, but they are not for the ipfltdrv.sys (which was for port filtering in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 and operated at a different level than it was in Windows Vista or Server 2008 or the upcoming Windows 7, just as the Anonymous Coward apk stated) method, in 3 layers of security, which Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 utilized as the ac apk noted with proofs from microsoft, herehttp://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1198841&cid=27597041and then he also followed up with actual proofs of portions of the former 3 layer network security stack being removed and why herehttp://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1198841&cid=27579551,b>as well as details on how Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 used to work in a 3 layer phalanx/zone defense like arrangement of security regarding port filtering, firewalls, and ip security policies that the older Ms Os' used. All good reads. Your name calling was unnecessary though and I thought that it was bullshit on your part if any bullshit came out around here it was from you in that alone.
You said - "Because claiming that it (windows) is now "as secure" is a ludicrous assertion" well I have applied the CIS Tool and other guidance in this guide here -> http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=f480901f4791e58ae53a34fb5fb31431&showtopic=2662 and have been malware infection free for more than 6 months now. In that guide also is where Linux was shown, just like Windows is out of the box, to only score 46/100 on the CIS Tool (a benchmarking system of security based on industry best practices for many Operating Systems) by default. Once security hardened, Windows is shown to be able to get to a 99.058/100 score, and Linux was only capable of reaching 90/100 (from a user named Bert64 who posts here no less). I applied this guide after seeing testimonies here -> http://www.xtremepccentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=c92dde4c57f7304da17d4f3b38fef1e3&t=28430&page=3 of a users' there (Thronka) and his stating that even after more than 1 years' usage of Windows, the users own systems and those of his paying clients have seen no slowdowns (they go faster if anything, because I definitely now do, and cutting off services that run by default I did not need alone did that much for me, besides performance and security registry hacks, plus more), and have not been infected by malware of any kind due to practices recommended in that guide. It's good, because for more than 1/2 a year now, I have experienced the same and I used to get at least 10 infections a month. No more, and yes, on Windows. Windows can be secured quite easily once you are shown how to do it properly.
I took a look at that, & Windows Vista was compromised not through errors in itself, but rather errors in Adobe Flash. That's not a fault of Microsoft's, but rather, Adobe products. The important quote. regarding Windows especially, was this: "for those who implement security, the operating system victory is less important than the fact that phishing and third-party applications were the keys to success, rather than general system vulnerabilities."
Round trip time back from a DNS server is what is in question and I also see a 30 millisecond reply back here after pinging slashdot.org also. I don't have whatever toolkit you are using online in Windows 2000, and I think you are only trying to defend your erroneous reasoning by attempting to cut back down to 6 milliseconds from the 30 or more millisecond returns most people will see when resolving the url for slashdot to its ip address (which ping can do), only on your part via somekind of script kiddie madness that I am not aware of via your statement of 'time dig +short slashdot.org' (what exactly is that? Somekind of half-baked scripting language that most people don't have online via some second rate programming toolkit??). Given that I think your statement is complete horse maneur, it's more like he is saving 45 minutes or more a year as far as speed. I also note you won't even try to touch the security benefits of a hosts file though. Funny that.
You said he cannot write well, but he had a large amount of proofs of that from 80 or more moderated up posts here (a few were very cool like showing how to protect binaries from viral infestations and also where apk was interviewed by microsoft and he showed some cool algorithms that sparked a good deal of interesting computer science conversation afterwards) and on grounds like informative or interesting, on top of a guide for securing a pc that has done well and he produced testimonial from a user who has done well because of his guide where the person has not been infected by a virus since and I have experienced the same but not as long so far is all. apk also provided his verifiable appearance in 10 publications since 1997 to 2002 that are respected in computer sciences for software he wrote or articles he had done. Windows it pro is a good one he had that stood above the rest and that same work ended up as commercial software and to good review as well as taking the company he wrote parts of those wares for to a finalist position at microsoft's tech end 2 years in a row. You said he cannot write well after you proved that you are either a liar or a dyslexia victim. I say that because I saw the whole exchange here where you accused apk of supposedly stating he said his posts were modded up by John Carmack and he quoted you in that much. He in turn asked for your proof via quoting him also where he in fact said that and you had nothing. Just like you had nothing like the list of what he has done that was shown as good by 100 others in summation versus your mere dyslexic no PHD in English lying and trolling here. Go away troll. You have beaten only yourself. Threatening to impersonate apk on other forums was the last straw though. You have no shame and are a trolling loser. Don't tell others how to write, which is how you came in here ad hominem attacking apk while doing so, after you have been shown to be unable to read correctly.
Threatening to impersonate someone because you made mistakes here publicly in saying they said things they had not and when you were asked for proof of you accusation that apk supposedly said John Carmack moderated his posts up here, you did not provide it and were quoted by the person you accused in apk. He asked you for a quote of his stating that and you could not provide that which doesn't exist and it made you look to be either a liar or dyslexic. Liars are trash, but dyslexia is not anyone's fault as far as I know. Since you may be dyslexic I hope you realize it disqualifies you from telling others how to write since you cannot read correctly yourself and you came in here ad hominem attacking apk that way and have proven yourself to not possess anything that qualifies you as expert in the english language like a PHD might do for you if you had one. You also state how great you are (in your own mind because nobody else says you are and most importantly in the science this forums section is about in computing), but you omit proofs of your so called magnificence where others said you wrote well also on top of your being off topic here the entire time too. You are a troll and not even good at doing that.
The only failure here is you. I and others have read this end to end and have seen you lie, fail to provide proofs on your part you have been asked to in response to you saying how great and smart you supposely are (in your own mind only because you can't put up proof where others note your work in any form as good regarding this science, since this is the developer section here and not the english grammar critique section which you came in here attacking apk with). You have also shown you lie or cannot read properly when you stated apk supposedly said John Carmack modded apk's posts up and he has you quoted saying it. apk asked you fairly for a quote of his actually stating what you accused him of and you had no proof of it, only proof you cannot read correctly apparently. If you cannot read, how the hell can you go around telling others how to write? You have no PHD in English, you have never been featured in the science of computing in multiple respected publications as apk proved he has over more than a decade now many times (despite you literally saying you are smarter and better than apk also) as well as his guides being popular and most of all effective in securing users machines like my own, and you had the nerve to tell him how to write? Learn to read on your end and go away troll.
He sure caught you off guard and you grabbed the wrong tiger by the tail. You have nothing like the list of what the anonymous coward apk has shown us he has done in response to your saying he can't write. I will believe 80 upward moderations here, topped off by his appearance 10 times in written publication from 1997 through 2002 as well as having commercial software code to his credit plus the results he has shown in the securing windows guide he put out which I tried and it works if you can follow some simple safety rules. Instead of giving him a difficult time here just because you cannot read and cannot admit you made mistakes in accusing him falsely saying that apk had said that John Carmack moderated his posts up and to which apk quoted you accusing him of. When he then asked you to provide the proof of his actually stating that and you could not that also made me think you have problems reading, like dyslexia. The problem is clearly yours and you lost troll. Don't tell others how to write when you cannot read and have not even been featured in publications where others felt your work was good as his was and he had proofs of it and you had none troll. You are just grabbing at straws trying to "save yourself" somehow and it is only burying you deeper in the hole each time you are shown lying or that you cannot read correctly. Either way, it also shows you have no grounds, ability, or rights to tell others how to write when you can't even read correctly on your part.
That's not what I saw and not all of apk's posts that he showed of 80 that were moderated up here are long. One was very cool in that it showed him showing a way to secure programs that the other developers here moderated up because it could help stop binary infecting viruses and also one where he showed the questions microsoft had asked him in an interview with them where they approached he and not he approaching microsoft. Another quite short one he did showed how to secure excel versus a known security vulnerability that is still present in it and many others I found quite interesting but those definitely stood above the others and they were quite short despite your rant here. I don't rate others well or compliment them on length. I only do so on content so don't go and call us slash tards here and speak for the rest of us you troll. Somehow I doubt you have 80 people here who have ever moderated your posts up as insightful, or interesting as apk showed us he had done as well as his appearance in respected publications in this science of computing both in wares he made as well as guides that have done well (I tried that one and it works and I have not been infected since to date). You are a troll and I suspect an adolescent geek is what you are who has been caught in his lies and trolling stupidity and it made you even threaten to impersonate apk. That did it for me. You are a troll.
You're not a moderator here, and you do not own this forums board either. Quit giving orders to others when you have no authority to give them at all here and especially when you have to toss a profanity loaded mess all over our screens when you do so. You are defintely a troll who talks a lot of his own greatness and yet you have not a single shred of proof where others in the field of computing have ever said they thought highly of your words whereas apk had a bunch of that to his credit. You accused apk of things he had not said and he captured a quote of that regarding you stating that apk said John Carmack moderated his posts up here and when apk asked you to provide a proof of his saying that by quoting him doing so, you evaded providing that quote. It didn't exist and you were caught lying or provided proof that you are really dyslexic and cannot read correctly. Given that, I would not go giving orders and more importantly telling others they cannot write when you have only shown you cannot even read written words properly.
The anonymous coward apk never stated that John Carmack moderated his posts up, and apk only brought up John Carmack only after you called the rest of us here slash tards and other less than cool names. He only mentioned John Carmack as an example of somebody who posts here who is also known to be a great game engine creator and programmer is all. Not once did the anonymous coward apk say John Carmack moderated his posts upward though apk had you saying that in a quote of your own words, and when apk asked you to show where he had said what you accused him of, you were unable to produce proof of apk saying John Carmack had moderated apk's posts up. It only makes sense you could not produce such proof because apk never said that or even remotely insinuated it. You are either a dyslexic brain damaged troll or a lying troll but either way you are a loser.
You evaded his simple question of what the forums name is here and we all know why you did that. You admitting this is the developers section here and not english grammar critiquing section of this forums would only further show you to be the troll you are. You did that evasion of that very simple yes or no question because this is the developers section and you came in here saying the other anonymous coward apk could not write. In response apk put up a lot of proof to the contrary from written publications he had software or articles in, as well as guides that I even tried (84/100 on cis tool so far) that worked well for people who tried them including myself, on top of his also having commercial software to his credit that went on to microsoft tech ed as a finalist 2 years in a row. You don't have anything even close to that level of expertise in this field and are an off topic troll as far as I am concerned after reading your profanity based replies. You lost but largely only because you beat yourself. Especially about lying that the anonymous coward apk supposedly said that John Carmack moderated his posts up here and when anonymous coward apk asked you for a quote of him saying that you blew that off also because you had no such proof and it appeared to me that you have dyslexia as he stated also. You can't read correctly so do not tell others how to write, especially since you are no expert by way of education such as an English PHD and also having appeared in written works in this science of computing even once versus apk having done so 100 times inclusive of his being moderated up here many times. You lost but beat yourself into a pulp in lying and trolling.
No you lost, and you are losing your mind as well imho. Especially where you threaten to impersonate the other anonymous coward apk as you have here in this debate which you lost and in doing so threw your little fit and threatened to impersonate someone who clearly got the better of you in actual visible accomplishments in both written publications and website articles as well as software he had done commercially and as freeware or shareware over time. You had nothing like any of that and yet you said he could not write? You also showed you can't read by saying he said John Carmack moderated his posts up and when he asked for a quote from you proving he said that, you again failed to produce such proof. You accuse others of not being able to write and you can't even read properly. Go away troll, you lose, and you know it.
You lost this troll, and not the other anonymous coward apk. You came in here saying the anonymous coward apk could not write and he put up a lot of proofs to the contrary from written and well known publications about computing, and some were fairly impressive imho such as the windows it pro article and his taking a company to a finalist position at microsoft's tech ed for them 2 years in a row. You haven't done the same and you try to play it off as you have done better but it doesn't work when you won't put out even 1 such evidence of you doing the same even. Being caught lying about anonymous coward apk, in you saying he said John Carmack moderated his postings here up, was a lie. The anonymous coward apk asked you to put up a quote of his saying that and you could not because he had not said that at all. You shouldn't tell others how to write, and most especially when you yourself can't even read.
You've evaded a very pertinent question of what the forums section is here when you were asked troll. It is the developers section and not the english grammar section of this website and you know when you answer that it will only show you are an off topic troll. As to your being superior in anything here, you are better in only 1 respect, and that is being a profanity spewing troll who is a legend in his own mind only and a trolling loser. Threatening to impersonate others only has me thinking that you are some 10 year old who is caught in his own words' stupidity and now is having a tantrum because he can't get out of his lies and idiocy due to his own stupidity. You blew it and you definitely lost this debate because of your wanna be geek angst.
You don't have anything like the anonymous coward apk had in being featured in written respected publications in the science of computing which was an impressive list, inclusive of taking a company to a finalist position at Microsoft Tech Ed, and 2 years in a row. Your self-proclaimed magnificence sounds more like a line of bullshit, and that you are deluding yourself at this point, since you cannot produce a single shred of proof.
Your also saying you would impersonate the other anonymous coward apk completely made you look like the troll you are and you know it and now you suddenly recanted? It's more like you knew you blew your cool and looked stupid, and even stupider than you looked when you stated the other anonymous coward apk said John Carmack modded his posts up, and when he asked you to show a quote where this happened, you could not.
As far as winning here, the only thing you have won is the troll of the week award at best in being caught lying and having no proof of your "delusional magnificence" on your part. You couldn't even produce 1 thing that others in either websites articles, guides, or articles in written publication you have been in where the anonymous coward apk had 100 evidences or more, of where his writing or software was well received in all of those areas and more. You really cannot read and are dyslexic as well as dumb.
I am not anonymous coward apk so why are you saying that I am? Haven't you had enough of being caught in stating falsehoods here already in saying that the anonymous coward apk said John Carmack of Idsoftware modded up his posts and yet there was nothing like that to be found here coming from the anonymous coward apk? You are a troll and a liar too.
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1147437&cid=27056793 I read in the url there that you keep multiple registered accounts on this forums. Why do you do this and then admit it as you have there? There is no point I can see for keeping multiple registered accounts here on this website except that which you have been accused of here all week in using multiple registered accounts to mod yourself up with and to create illusory supporters for yourself. This doesn't look good for you on this website you know.

ac apk, rest assured that I read this exchange end to end and the ac trolling you apk is nothing but an illiterate trolling loser who has nothing better to do with his time than to be a petty nuisance here and to be a (what is it you called him? Oh yes, a clown) clown for our amusement and ridicule. At this point he refuses to answer your questions because he knows that by not having a phd in english he is nobody worth listening to, and by his also admitting this is the developers section, he will have conceded that his off topic english grammar critiques are completely off topic trolling. This forums is full of pitiful schmucks like the ac causing us laughter here unfortunately and you have to learn to ignore them at times as well as pity them because this juvenile behaviour of his is all his type have in this life (and they wonder why their lives are worth shit).
Why don't you instead The End of Days? You have been caught admitting to using multiple registered accounts here and I cannot see any reason for that myself, other than you using them to mod yourself up and to make it appear as if you have supporters here, which at this point you clearly do not.

You said he cannot write well, but he had a large amount of proofs of that from 80 or more moderated up posts here (a few were very cool like showing how to protect binaries from viral infestations and also where apk was interviewed by microsoft and he showed some cool algorithms that sparked a good deal of interesting computer science conversation afterwards) and on grounds like informative or interesting, on top of a guide for securing a pc that has done well and he produced testimonial from a user who has done well because of his guide where the person has not been infected by a virus since and I have experienced the same but not as long so far is all. apk also provided his verifiable appearance in 10 publications since 1997 to 2002 that are respected in computer sciences for software he wrote or articles he had done.

You have also shown you lie or cannot read properly when you stated apk supposedly said John Carmack modded apk's posts up and he has you quoted saying it. apk asked you fairly for a quote of his actually stating what you accused him of and you had no proof of it, only proof you cannot read correctly apparently. If you cannot read, how the hell can you go around telling others how to write? You have no PHD in English, you have never been featured in the science of computing in multiple respected publications as apk proved he has over more than a decade now many times (despite you literally saying you are smarter and better than apk also) as well as his guides being popular and most of all effective in securing users machines like my own, and you had the nerve to tell him how to write? Learn to read on your end and go away troll.
He sure caught you off guard and you grabbed the wrong tiger by the tail. You have nothing like the list of what the anonymous coward apk has shown us he has done in response to your saying he can't write. I will believe 80 upward moderations here, topped off by his appearance 10 times in written publication from 1997 through 2002 as well as having commercial software code to his credit plus the results he has shown in the securing windows guide he put out which I tried and it works if you can follow some simple safety rules. Instead of giving him a difficult time here just because you cannot read and cannot admit you made mistakes in accusing him falsely saying that apk had said that John Carmack moderated his posts up and to which apk quoted you accusing him of. When he then asked you to provide the proof of his actually stating that and you could not that also made me think you have problems reading, like dyslexia. The problem is clearly yours and you lost troll. Don't tell others how to write when you cannot read and have not even been featured in publications where others felt your work was good as his was and he had proofs of it and you had none troll. You are just grabbing at straws trying to "save yourself" somehow and it is only burying you deeper in the hole each time you are shown lying or that you cannot read correctly. Either way, it also shows you have no grounds, ability, or rights to tell others how to write when you can't even read correctly on your part.
That's not what I saw and not all of apk's posts that he showed of 80 that were moderated up here are long. One was very cool in that it showed him showing a way to secure programs that the other developers here moderated up because it could help stop binary infecting viruses and also one where he showed the questions microsoft had asked him in an interview with them where they approached he and not he approaching microsoft. Another quite short one he did showed how to secure excel versus a known security vulnerability that is still present in it and many others I found quite interesting but those definitely stood above the others and they were quite short despite your rant here. I don't rate others well or compliment them on length. I only do so on content so don't go and call us slash tards here and speak for the rest of us you troll. Somehow I doubt you have 80 people here who have ever moderated your posts up as insightful, or interesting as apk showed us he had done as well as his appearance in respected publications in this science of computing both in wares he made as well as guides that have done well (I tried that one and it works and I have not been infected since to date). You are a troll and I suspect an adolescent geek is what you are who has been caught in his lies and trolling stupidity and it made you even threaten to impersonate apk. That did it for me. You are a troll.
You're not a moderator here, and you do not own this forums board either. Quit giving orders to others when you have no authority to give them at all here and especially when you have to toss a profanity loaded mess all over our screens when you do so. You are defintely a troll who talks a lot of his own greatness and yet you have not a single shred of proof where others in the field of computing have ever said they thought highly of your words whereas apk had a bunch of that to his credit. You accused apk of things he had not said and he captured a quote of that regarding you stating that apk said John Carmack moderated his posts up here and when apk asked you to provide a proof of his saying that by quoting him doing so, you evaded providing that quote. It didn't exist and you were caught lying or provided proof that you are really dyslexic and cannot read correctly. Given that, I would not go giving orders and more importantly telling others they cannot write when you have only shown you cannot even read written words properly.
The anonymous coward apk never stated that John Carmack moderated his posts up, and apk only brought up John Carmack only after you called the rest of us here slash tards and other less than cool names. He only mentioned John Carmack as an example of somebody who posts here who is also known to be a great game engine creator and programmer is all. Not once did the anonymous coward apk say John Carmack moderated his posts upward though apk had you saying that in a quote of your own words, and when apk asked you to show where he had said what you accused him of, you were unable to produce proof of apk saying John Carmack had moderated apk's posts up. It only makes sense you could not produce such proof because apk never said that or even remotely insinuated it. You are either a dyslexic brain damaged troll or a lying troll but either way you are a loser.
You evaded his simple question of what the forums name is here and we all know why you did that. You admitting this is the developers section here and not english grammar critiquing section of this forums would only further show you to be the troll you are. You did that evasion of that very simple yes or no question because this is the developers section and you came in here saying the other anonymous coward apk could not write. In response apk put up a lot of proof to the contrary from written publications he had software or articles in, as well as guides that I even tried (84/100 on cis tool so far) that worked well for people who tried them including myself, on top of his also having commercial software to his credit that went on to microsoft tech ed as a finalist 2 years in a row. You don't have anything even close to that level of expertise in this field and are an off topic troll as far as I am concerned after reading your profanity based replies. You lost but largely only because you beat yourself. Especially about lying that the anonymous coward apk supposedly said that John Carmack moderated his posts up here and when anonymous coward apk asked you for a quote of him saying that you blew that off also because you had no such proof and it appeared to me that you have dyslexia as he stated also. You can't read correctly so do not tell others how to write, especially since you are no expert by way of education such as an English PHD and also having appeared in written works in this science of computing even once versus apk having done so 100 times inclusive of his being moderated up here many times. You lost but beat yourself into a pulp in lying and trolling.
No you lost, and you are losing your mind as well imho. Especially where you threaten to impersonate the other anonymous coward apk as you have here in this debate which you lost and in doing so threw your little fit and threatened to impersonate someone who clearly got the better of you in actual visible accomplishments in both written publications and website articles as well as software he had done commercially and as freeware or shareware over time. You had nothing like any of that and yet you said he could not write? You also showed you can't read by saying he said John Carmack moderated his posts up and when he asked for a quote from you proving he said that, you again failed to produce such proof. You accuse others of not being able to write and you can't even read properly. Go away troll, you lose, and you know it.
You lost this troll, and not the other anonymous coward apk. You came in here saying the anonymous coward apk could not write and he put up a lot of proofs to the contrary from written and well known publications about computing, and some were fairly impressive imho such as the windows it pro article and his taking a company to a finalist position at microsoft's tech ed for them 2 years in a row. You haven't done the same and you try to play it off as you have done better but it doesn't work when you won't put out even 1 such evidence of you doing the same even. Being caught lying about anonymous coward apk, in you saying he said John Carmack moderated his postings here up, was a lie. The anonymous coward apk asked you to put up a quote of his saying that and you could not because he had not said that at all. You shouldn't tell others how to write, and most especially when you yourself can't even read.
You've evaded a very pertinent question of what the forums section is here when you were asked troll. It is the developers section and not the english grammar section of this website and you know when you answer that it will only show you are an off topic troll. As to your being superior in anything here, you are better in only 1 respect, and that is being a profanity spewing troll who is a legend in his own mind only and a trolling loser. Threatening to impersonate others only has me thinking that you are some 10 year old who is caught in his own words' stupidity and now is having a tantrum because he can't get out of his lies and idiocy due to his own stupidity. You blew it and you definitely lost this debate because of your wanna be geek angst.
You don't have anything like the anonymous coward apk had in being featured in written respected publications in the science of computing which was an impressive list, inclusive of taking a company to a finalist position at Microsoft Tech Ed, and 2 years in a row. Your self-proclaimed magnificence sounds more like a line of bullshit, and that you are deluding yourself at this point, since you cannot produce a single shred of proof. Your also saying you would impersonate the other anonymous coward apk completely made you look like the troll you are and you know it and now you suddenly recanted? It's more like you knew you blew your cool and looked stupid, and even stupider than you looked when you stated the other anonymous coward apk said John Carmack modded his posts up, and when he asked you to show a quote where this happened, you could not. As far as winning here, the only thing you have won is the troll of the week award at best in being caught lying and having no proof of your "delusional magnificence" on your part. You couldn't even produce 1 thing that others in either websites articles, guides, or articles in written publication you have been in where the anonymous coward apk had 100 evidences or more, of where his writing or software was well received in all of those areas and more. You really cannot read and are dyslexic as well as dumb.
I am not anonymous coward apk so why are you saying that I am? Haven't you had enough of being caught in stating falsehoods here already in saying that the anonymous coward apk said John Carmack of Idsoftware modded up his posts and yet there was nothing like that to be found here coming from the anonymous coward apk? You are a troll and a liar too.
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1147437&cid=27056793 I read in the url there that you keep multiple registered accounts on this forums. Why do you do this and then admit it as you have there? There is no point I can see for keeping multiple registered accounts here on this website except that which you have been accused of here all week in using multiple registered accounts to mod yourself up with and to create illusory supporters for yourself. This doesn't look good for you on this website you know.

ac apk, rest assured that I read this exchange end to end and the ac trolling you apk is nothing but an illiterate trolling loser who has nothing better to do with his time than to be a petty nuisance here and to be a (what is it you called him? Oh yes, a clown) clown for our amusement and ridicule. At this point he refuses to answer your questions because he knows that by not having a phd in english he is nobody worth listening to, and by his also admitting this is the developers section, he will have conceded that his off topic english grammar critiques are completely off topic trolling. This forums is full of pitiful schmucks like the ac causing us laughter here unfortunately and you have to learn to ignore them at times as well as pity them because this juvenile behaviour of his is all his type have in this life (and they wonder why their lives are worth shit).
Why don't you instead The End of Days? You have been caught admitting to using multiple registered accounts here and I cannot see any reason for that myself, other than you using them to mod yourself up and to make it appear as if you have supporters here, which at this point you clearly do not.
