Seriously, he has nothing else to live for except his hosts file.
Honestly, he's quite fascinating and quite quick to declare victory, make threats etc. One of my favourite instances of this, is this article someone wrote about someone doing Internet threats to sue them, when who should appear, but APK. He then discovers the existence of this article and continues on in the comments.
However, he does serve a purpose - he gives an insight into why "haters gotta hate".
I think he's really differen, I have not seen people as passionate about this sort of thing in IT. The only passionate reactions to continue with such longevity is things I see from groups like the Taliban/ISIS - Which really leaves a question about his psyche and motivations.
The internet gives him a platform and a sense of empowerment, that if he posts long enough, loud enough, he'll "win".
Yes, he's definately good at making use of argumentum ad nauseum.
And lets face it - he's good for comic relief
I did get some amusement from him. I was fascinated by someone who remembered that years ago I responded to one of his posts with just 'cool story, bro' when he made this massive post that was far overdone and had various fallacies that I had completely forgotten. I later interacted with him and he linked that comment (that I honestly couldn't remember) and went on a rant that I am troll (most of my posts weren't trolling towards him).
It's unfortunate that he won't entertain the idea of talking to me about other subjects. I'm curious about him, I wonder if he really is prejudiced against trans-sexuals. I wonder why he lives with a room mate (he's told me as such) and not alone or with a wife etc.
keeps thinking that many of those anonymous posts are from me (none of them are).
Oh yeah, I've seen him do that to a few people previously.
Of course, I could be wrong, and it's due to him eating too many paint chips as a kid.
I honestly think he just doesn't like losing arguments and has no mental issues.
I didn't attempt, I was sharing my experiences. What surprised me is the idea that you've got some sort of transphobia. I'm guessing you do since you won't answer some simple questions.
you're NOT even worth it since you're a trolling "ne'er-do-well".
I'm not trolling. I asked very simple questions that can be answered just 'yes' or 'no' answers, but you can't seem to manage that even.
I don't know about the US, however the standard in the UK is the latest editions of the 'New Oxford English Dictionary'. It is the only dictionary I am aware of that has been approved for use in public schools (and because of this, genuinely accepted in every private institution and higher education as well) as well as the organisation is the accepted authority on words that defines what is or is not slang. As such, I find any other dictionary irrelevant where British-English is concerned.
the people that write dictionaries constantly update them by looking at how people actually use the language
The standard complaint against the Oxford dictionaries is that they generally don't and it is difficult to get things changed and without the dictionary's recognition, alternative meanings are not recognised in both official capacities and by many people (whom are often annoying intellectuals that would rather use this as a red herring than discuss the actual subject).
Your problem is that you're using really old hardware. ATi brand stopped producing new products long ago, I can only imagine your nVidia cards running ancient hardware and drivers too.
Printing money to reduce the value of the debt and pay it with money that was not produced through economic activity is equivalent to default on full payment of debt.
Ask Iceland's creditors how badly it went for them and how this is exactly the same as defaulting on a payment.
Why would Greece ever choose to leave their sugar momma?
The 'why' doesn't matter, the fact they attempted to in the beginning and the union politicians prevented it is the important thing.
The politicians in Greece scapegoated other countries to cover their failed socialist policies.
Honestly, I have a bigger problem with the politicians in the Union that ignored the auditors and advisors that told them that Greece could not sustain the economy in their current state and still brought them into the Euro zone. I couldn't careless whom is scapegoating whom.
By 'devalue their currency' you mean default on their debt.
No, I don't. I mean do exactly what Iceland did, where a slow, controlled printing of money was used to devalue themselves to match their economic strength. None of this requires defaulting on it's debts.
No shit, let's not forget that the Euro politicians prevented them from moving off the Euro which lead to this sad situation.
How does asking Greece to stop spending so much encourage them to spend more?
They are propping up Greece by funding it instead of letting Greece leave the Euro, move to their own currency that is sustainable.
Greece is incapable of realizing that their form of socialism has not worked.
Greece was the first to try to leave the Euro the moment they saw it was not sustainable. In return the Euro politicians replaced their democratically elected officials to try to take control of the situation and only making matters worse.
What they really don't like isn't austerity, it's living within their means.
Wrong, the austerity measures implemented a dependency on living outside the means of the country, without the ability to devalue their currency in a controlled fashion like Iceland did, this makes recovery not possible. You don't get a man out of debt by lending more money to him and forcing him to accept it while following specific terms on how to make use of it.
I am not the grand parent, but in my case it was mostly stuff from KDE. Also, I struggled porting some POSIX applications across due to OS X's poor handling of fork(), that requires an exec() because it cannot guarantee thread safety (sad that it managed to get Unix certification despite violating it).

It's worse with OS X's Microsoft Office, really I found Windows' Microsoft Office and Office 360 is the only answers.
If your developers write Web code they need Adobe Dreamweaver etc
Eh, the web developers in my firm use Eclipse and Visual Studio most of the time. I've never seen them using Dreamweaver.
There was a time when Apple built better quality boxes than the every Windows PC
I don't remember that time. I remember even very far back to their PPC generation where they used stupid amounts of thermal paste, they would run stupid hot. Even today, their laptops sound like a jet engine taking off when you're pushing it.
When it comes to laptops, Apple is really the only option. Why? Because you can walk down to the apple store and someone will fix any hardware problems for you.
Oh, I had a hardware issue that they couldn't fix. I couldn't get Bitlocker working because the Mac hardware was being incompatible. Apple store didn't know what to do.

I'm sharing my experience, if that berates you, that was a side affect of the original intent. There was no 'trying'.
I didn't attempt, I was sharing my experiences. What surprised me is the idea that you've got some sort of transphobia. I'm guessing you do since you won't answer some simple questions.
I'm not trolling. I asked very simple questions that can be answered just 'yes' or 'no' answers, but you can't seem to manage that even.
Why are you singling this person out for being a transsexual?
Is 'weirdo' directed at at their character or is this is a form of transphobia?
Do you think argumentum ad hominem proves your points better and makes your character look justified?

We don't use telephone poles anymore, so likely none.
I live on the outskirts of Belfast and I have BT infinity working at the maximum advertised speed. I am very happy with the service.
Much like how Iceland paid their creditors back in USD.
If they would,. it would likely be because the credit agreement explicitly dealt in U.S. dollars and you're paying back in another currency entirely.
You'll need to convert it to the right currency first they expect to be paid in.
Ask Iceland's creditors how badly it went for them and how this is exactly the same as defaulting on a payment.
I will provide you with just one reference you can see and hear then, https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I don't need Office 360 and I don't see what's wrong with Krita (an application that runs on Linux) if I can get the job done and get it done quickly.
That was the case a couple of years ago at my firm, not anymore. There is the need to have a couple of iPads and Android devices on hand though.
I use VMware mostly on every OS for workstation type stuff. I do have containers for Linux servers setup though with brtfs for snapshots.
I think you live in a different world where I do.

Of course, those EFI updates may break Linux compatibility, so it may be better not to have them.
