Sadly, it probably is beyond my current comprehension. I am not a trained psychiatrist or psychologist.
Then again, my understanding is not what is required. If only Alexander Peter Kowalski were up to the simple task of honest self-appraisal, there might be some hope.
Your grip on reality is even weaker than I'd thought. I'm certain (based on your other posts) that you were abused by your father, and possibly your mother as well. Were you also sexually molested, or was it only physical and emotional abuse you suffered?
Nobody here is foolish enough to run a kernel-mode host file manager written by a man who clearly has what is at best a tenuous grip on reality. I know the truth hurts, but until you accept the truth and do something about it you will remain an object of derision and ridicule here.
The only thing I'm projecting onto you is the clear light of reason. Your mental incapacity (and its source) are both plainly evident for all here to see.
I'm not the one posting anonymously, pretending to be several people and resorting to ad hominem attacks on any who point out everything you're doing wrong.
Please get help. I am not a licensed mental health care professional and even so I can plainly see evidence of your need for therapeutic aid.
You know, the abuse you suffered as a child will only continue to haunt you until you seek out competent mental health care. I don't know if it was your mother, your father or both that abused you, but they left damage that is clear for all to see. Please seek out psychiatric care immediately. Your constant claim to be trying to make the internet better by making it worse is clear evidence of your need for help. Seek it out before you destroy yourself utterly. I'm truly afraid that you'll actually commit suicide, like you pretended to do several years ago. You do remember posting in your mother's "voice" about how we horrible slashdotters had driven you to suicide, don't you? Please get help before that becomes more than a fantasy in your tortured mind.
Elite for the C-64 had a switch "intertia on/off" - with inertia on, it got pretty close to Newtonian physics (no gravity effects, sadly). That's how I preferred to play it, as it made it easy to fly by a bot (which kept using Battle of Britain physics) and pound it while only sustaining one or two stray hits on your shields.
Malware authors need only take their existing freeware "products" and put a timer in to delay payload delivery. I can conceive of several ways to do this with only minimal effort.
You're right, I misread the spec. However, they're still tending to favor those areas of bandwidth that are notably less efficient. While I don't have evidence to support this contention, I perceive that it is an intentional act designed to minimize OTA access to broadcast television, a cynical act designed to encourage or even force viewers to subscribe to cable or satellite services.
At the end of the day, all I know is that stations which once were viewable (some even perfect) under analog are no longer viewable under digital. Wrap all the sophistry you want around your arguments - viewable beats not viewable any day, and I've discovered that many previously viewable channels are no longer available to me as OTA. I need to pay for 'em now via the cable and satellite companies. I can't just hand a rabbit ears on the back of my set or go up on my roof and mount a VHF/UHF antenna.
VHF frequencies tended to flow around obstructions. UHF frequencies tended to be more "line of sight". Modern digital television is on even higher frequencies. Crunch the numbers - this means less coverage by FREE broadcast mechanisms and more incentive for consumers to pay for cable or satellite reception. "Broadcast" companies get a reliable revenue stream, cable and satellite companies get a de facto monopoly and the government gets another choke point on communication. Everyone wins!
Well, everyone except Joe Sixpack; but he's just an ignorant dolt anyhow (an insensitive clod?).
I'll go along with you this far - when a licensed broadcaster has their signal's integrity compromised by an individual broadcaster that's a violation of law. I agree completely with the concept of allocating bandwidth to commercial entities with the attendant regulation concerning what they're allowed to say and how.
Now, when I'm told that I may not use any bandwidth until I pay and submit to those same rules, that's censorship. Your "think of the children" argument doesn't hold water. They may have removed the knobs from my television, but there's still a button on the damned thing - unless it's 1984 and nobody told me.
Stations which I used to consider viewable (even some which came in at 0 - -10dB of gain, which is perfect for analog) have disappeared outright, or become modern examples of "flickervision" under digital. Don't fool yourself - the broadcast networks would love to see everyone get their signals from cable or via an encrypted stream from satellite. Instead of the fluctuating income stream bounded by ratings and advertiser whims, they can rely on CableCo for a guaranteed, predictable, reliable revenue stream.
You need to find a better adult bookstore. Any depiction which includes penetration is generally considered hardcore porn. Hell, I know a lot of people who consider Game of Thrones to be hardcore porn.
Analog gets a little twitchy, you see snow (or ghosts). Sound has a little static to it. Your brain actually does a fantastic job of filtering these things out (like most people, you see and hear exactly what you want to see and hear).
Digital gets a little twitchy, you see a still frame (or nothing). Sound becomes silent. It's hard for your brain to actually filter out a blank screen and no audio.
Gee, you've missed the opportunity to consider it assault (which doesn't require physical contact, incidentally). I wonder how that dude would take to a mouth full of bloody Chicklets?

Get some help . . . soon.

Is your grasp on reality truly that weak?

Take it easy on him, guys. He was abused as a child.

You're already running Windows. How much worse can it get?
MicroSoft is a marketing company, not a software company. Software just happens to be what they sell - they're in it for the brand.
I still like the thought of thrashing dufus severely about the head and shoulders.
Archaic slang. Scotch, circular-file, 86, nix (as opposed to nichts) . . . pick one you like. I've got more.
