I sincerely hope you don't have a science-based degree, because if you do, you apparently learned nothing. When you throw a bowling ball it DOES impart a force in the opposite. Case in point - My niece who pushed a bowling ball down the lane, and then promptly fell backwards onto her butt.
Actually, yes I do, and physics was one of my favourite subjects. Your niece isn't the best example. When she's older she'll be able to counter-balance and use the friction between her shoes and the floor to offset the "recoil" from throwing something heavy, like the rest of us do.
Even if there was an opposite force on his own body, Psylar wouldn't have to fall over. Especially if he is applying a slight upward force to his enemy, it would just make his own grip on the floor stronger. And what's to stop him from applying an equal force in the opposite direction, ie bracing himself against a wall?
But yes, it's just a TV show, and telekinesis is pure fantasy.
Ah, his power is telekinesis. As others have pointed out, even if he is the anchor for this power, he could just push in the opposite direction at the same time..
When the PS3 came out there were loads of stories about the awesome powah of the Cell processor. They are great value for money if you want to do some number crunching. Just a shame you can't use the graphics processor as well (Sony blocked off GPU access from within Linux AFAIK) or they would really fly.
Indeed. Compared to the other discussions I've seen when I searched your name online, I think it was really great what you did today in offering the olive branch so to speak. I was hoping that you would see that's what I wanted, and that I really wasn't just pretending before when I said I was trying to be nice. I felt much better today too knowing that we weren't gonna keep baiting each other:)
It seems we both managed to show some trust and respect today anyway (as my flatmate would say "that's some motherfucking [emotional] growing right there", if you'll excuse the profanity xD ), and hopefully my attempts at being nice before were part of what brought on this "change" today. I learned myself the hard way that you obviously can't trust everyone, but I still try to trust people until they give me a reason not to. It sucks having to worry if you can trust someone or not, so better to just trust others and hope they will return the favour.
I'm sorry I had to get so riled up and that you didn't notice that last troll post here until after we had made our truce. You know how it is when you think someone is going to be trolling you non-stop. You need to stand up for yourself sometimes (ignoring it was an option too, but I'm glad we learned to respect each other instead of just hating).
Some people are indeed just sick assholes who enjoy watching other people get frustrated, and no matter what you do they will keep trolling. But I think some other "trolls" are just people who are having a rough time, and just need some way of venting:p We probably both just needed to vent a little this week!
That's cool man. I was hoping we could sort it out:) I'd much rather get along than argue with people, but at the same time I don't take insults lying down;)
I'm sorry that I offended you too with my comment on your security post - I was just trying to help explain why maybe guys like Foredecker decide not to respond to your long posts, though I admit I could have been a bit nicer about it. I think there is also the possibility that Foredecker is from a completely different branch of MS than the security/networking group (maybe he works on Office, the Zune, X-Box, whatever..), so maybe he doesn't have any control or knowledge over that stuff.
I can indeed see you are trying to be nice, and I already think any fight we were having has ended.
I don't think my game matters, because I think anyone could have written a game and sent it in and they would have put the game in their magazine. I didn't even win the best game of that month;) but I think it was pretty good considering I made it between the ages of 12 and 13. I did actually find the game on a website that had online versions of old Amiga Format disks, and I played it on an emulator a couple of years ago, it's still good fun:) I don't remember what issue number it was, page, whatever, though I still have that issue in a cupboard somewhere at my mum's house.
I was quite proud of it at the time, but I know I have done better things since then. For example I wrote some bots (called TEAMbot) to play against in Counter-Strike (the Half-Life 1 version of Counter-Strike, not Counter-Strike Source) around when I was 16. The site for them was still hosted up at Planet Half Life last year, looks like it's finally gone now. Looks like the version 1.2 Beta is still available on fileplanet and in other places though, and if you do ever feel like playing older versions of CS and need some bots to play against, I recommend them. The 1.2 version did have some memory leaks unfortunately, I didn't upload the fixed version because I was at university by that time and didn't have net access from my PC. Anyway, the bots are the personal project that I am most proud of, and in fact they took a lot more thinking than most of the programming I have done here at work lol.
HAHAHAHAHAAH.. oh man.. I just found this news article about my bots when searching around! http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/fullstory.php?id=97512 . The guy called me a "genius", that's hilarious.. I might be of above average intelligence, but I'm not a genius by any means;)
Yeah, I haven't really been in any proper fights. I'm a tall and fit guy, with good reactions, done a little martial arts and I'm pretty good at sparring, but I have no idea how I'd be in a 'real' fight I guess;) Even if you "win" apparently you still can feel bad for having beaten up another human being?
lol.. I suppose that me not liking the aesthetics of your writing could be the same as "having trouble reading it". I will give it another scan. We don't have many Vista/Windows 7 machines here yet though, it's mostly XP and we've been trouble free for several years I'm happy to say.
Too bad you have alienated God though... I mean, hey: We live in this 'place', this immense unending 'construct' we call "the universe/cosmos" etc. et al, & SOMETHING had to have made it man (imo @ least? That qualifies said being as "GOD")...
It's amazing... Especially w/ all of its "rules" of which we are STILL IN THE DARK OVER on much of it (e.g. gravity, the nature of the center of OUR galazy & star cluster being "dark matter", or a GIANT "singularity/black hole"... & imo @ least?
Yeah we can agree that the Universe is really amazing.. and *something* marvelous must have happened for us to exist here.. but I'm not so sure that god can explain everything - because if god created us, then who created God? Some other God? It is like an infinite loop lol.
Yeah we have our similarities, we both get very defensive. I still think a lot of those AC posts were you, but I can forgive that since we are choosing to be on better terms.
Aye, I've noticed you're being nice now that I actually *did* have a real go at trolling you;)
I don't see being nice as weakness. I think it takes much more strength to drop our guard and be nice to each other than it does to keep arguing, and it shows good maturity.
I have to go do some perl and learn about jQuery to snazz up some of the web apps I'm doing for work heh:) Have a good day dude, I'm glad you finally realised we don't have to argue. I really hope you think about my idea for you getting a blog where you can post all your security tips and stuff? I know there are a lot of people out there who still enjoy trolling you, but fuck them - if you really are trying to help people and are able to be "nice" then that's enough for me to respect you, and if you keep being nice then they will hopefully give you some respect again too and let you do your thing in peace:)
My game was just published in the "reader's games" section of an Amiga magazine when I was a kid about 12 years ago, like I said it's not that big a deal.
Yeah I saw your other post, I think it's better to not argue too much, there isn't really any benefit to it:P I still think all those guys talking about "PHDs" and stuff were you though;)
Yeah, I thought it would be funny if you saw how silly it is.. and at least I admitted it was me, I don't like to lie about stuff really.
So, that is your "game"? LOL, I knew it... but, you only ended up making ME look good (because I can always bring that list out, everytime - keep trolling me, & this is what you get, as those 2 had in the past, much to their own chargrin/dismay, lol).

lol.. I don't care what it makes you or me look like, it was funny. You bring out any list you want. Last time you linked to one of my posts, the mods modded me "insightful".. I'm not sure if I would be a great troll, but like I said if you insist on harassing me I don't see why I shouldn't give as good as I'm getting.
See how you are? Man... I know that you cannot help it if you have mental issues (some folks can handle things, others cannot & that's that (a matter of what I call "mental/intestinal fortitude" is all), so I don't hold you to that, so you know.
lol *shrug* I am no longer depressed, but yes I know that people can't help it if they have mental problems, which is why I was trying to be nice to you. You are not particularly dumb, but you do just take everything as a personal attack on yourself even when none is intended. Remember this quote "never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by stupidity". lol..
Yes we did start out on a bad foot. I know now that you just get frustrated at people easily - as do I sometimes, and if I'd known it was you I wouldn't have probably just not said anything. The problem I had was not that you were talking about Window security, I was just frustrated that you need to post such a large post, and you did it in reply to some joke I was making about Windows vulnerabilities lol. I seriously think it would be better to write all your HOWTO and security stuff in a blog, and then just link to that instead of having to copy and paste all the time? I didn't have trouble reading it, I just really don't like when people use so much bold and capitals - it makes me think of all the "GNAA" crap that is posted here on slashdot.
I actually use Linux at both work and home which is why I don't worry too much about Windows security at the moment;) Though it is part of my job to support people who use Windows, so it is still slightly relevant. I agree that Spybot is great software, and it's good to put known bad sites in your hosts file so that you can't visit them.
I've done a couple nice things over time, I am glad of it, but... sometimes
Yeah, I've seen you can be nice. as long as people agree with you. I think you need to work on how to disagree with people without getting mad lol. I know I was getting angry too so whatever, I have been trying to be reasonable at times too:P
Yeah I used to believe in God and the bible, but I stopped last year. Since then I have been trying to better myself without any help from any gods;)
I'm "OK" @ Comp. Sci. imo/estimation, especially by way of comparison to say, the likes of Mr. John Carmack (great) & Mr. Anders Heijelsberg (borland & microsoft): I can "get the job done" is my estimation of myself, but compared to guys like the 2 I mention now? I am a DUSTMOTE... lol!
I feel the same about my own skills lol. I am happy with my current job as IT Manager/programmer for a small business, it's friendly and relaxed, and pays okay. The most important thing is to enjoy your job:)
The only reason I searched around for APK stuff was because you called me easil
he trolled the hell out of me no less & then "stragely backed off"
First, I wasn't trolling. I was even modded insightful on the post that you keep linking to. Thanks again;)
I backed off because you obviously are not the type of person to quit even after you have lost so badly that you need to pretend to be other people who agree with yourself. I didn't see the point in it. But you chose to keep going. So I've decided I might as well harass you for a while since you truly deserve it, you girlfriend beating loser. I'd really enjoy knocking you down a peg or two, but I bet since you're in the US and you're such a paranoid fuckwit, that you probably have lots of guns, so it's not worth it. lol
Hahahahahaha.. oh dear.. I just read more of your post. Do you really think that having your shareware in magazines counts as being "published"? xD In that case, I was "published" when I was 13 years old, because one of my computer games was in a magazine. It doesn't mean anything.
Every time you say something that retarded it makes me feel a little bad for making fun or someone who is incapable of defending themself, but if you are going to keep choosing to harass me, then you will keep getting pwned..
By the way, if you were a good coder you'd know that it's best to re-use code as a function rather than always copy and paste. The fact that you always copy and paste your spam instead of linking to a blog to me indicates that you probably have a very inefficient coding style..
By the by: I don't interpret your puny trolling of myself as a joke. Get that thru your head. Thanks.)
That's a shame, because I've decided if you keep spamming my slashdot posts, I'm going to have fun fucking with your burnt out, drug addled, girlfriend beating, piece of shit head.
I wasn't trying to troll you before, I was actually trying to be kind. But if you want trolling and spam, I'm sure I sort out a little trolling and spam in return. It's sad that you have been posting on one of Jeremy Reimer's threads for FOUR YEARS, pretending to be yourself and other people. I don't know if I have the patience for four years of dealing with you, but we'll see. The only reason you pretend to be other people is because nobody else agrees with your version of reality, so you have to pretend to be other people just to have anyone who agrees with you. That must mean you're quite aware that what you write is a load of bullshit, but yet somehow you still keep on going, making yourself seem more and more of a fool. It's part of your personality disorder.
Anyone with two brain cells can tell that all of those posts of people who agree with you are written by you. Except instead of having millions of stupid one sentence paragraphs like you do in your "APK => PS" posts, you switch to having no paragraphs at all. Both of those are crappy uses of paragraphs, hence why I said that you cannot use paragraphs.
By the way, the "mental boy" (cool name btw, thanks, I might use it in future:D ) post that you keep linking to - http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1438984&cid=30107250 - the one that calls you a troll with mental issues? Someone moderated it "insightful". LOL.
As long as it doesn't result in any false negatives, I think it sounds like a great product for speeding up sweeping. Even if half of a 'field does end up alight, at least they can ignore the dark portions and concentrate on the lit areas.
In a sparsely mined area it could save weeks, months or years of painstaking work - or a few limbs in the case where currently nobody is bothering to sweep the area clean at all.
The next step is for the bacteria to auto dissolve the explosives, kind of like that blue stuff in Predator, heh. I just hope these little guys don't have the potential to cause more problems than they solve!
You might wish to believe that, but you are most definitely both. The hypothesis remains unsupported xD
You are a spammer, and a liar. Almost every insult you spout is probably something that people have said about you. You need to either change your ways, or just shut the fuck up and stop trying to prove how great you are. You are nothing but a sniveling little weasel who is seeking for attention. Now, this is the last time I'm going to respond to your cries for attention. Remember that "mama" post? Whoever originally wrote that about you before you copied it, was spot on. See you around, dipshit.
lol:) you can't handle being starved of attention, can you?:)
You are the only one that has been trolling this whole time, and when you realised that you weren't getting to me, you tried to pretend to be "others" who agree with yourself. Sad.
By the way - I am not ashamed of the fact that I was on medication for depression in the slightest. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it if I were, and the fact that you think it's something to be ashamed of might explain why haven't seen a doctor about whatever issues you most certainly have. You have already proven yourself to be a liar though, so I wouldn't be surprised if you were on medication for some bipolar disorder or similar. At the very least you need to take anger management classes and learn how to get a perspective on life.
Anyone who can google your name (Alexander Peter Kowalski for anyone who is interested - the blog posts by people who have had email conversations with this nutcase are hilarious, though sadly disturbing) can see that you are a wacko.
The point I realised that you are a complete idiot and not worth speaking to, was when you asked if *I* can prove that I wasn't the anonymous coward troll replies to myself. Well, no I cannot prove it - but why would I fucking WANT to? It is purely on you to prove that you aren't making up virtual friends to back up your worthless assertions. Plus, as I have pointed out, you are the only idiot in the world who thinks that people need a PHD in English to criticise writing style, or a PHD in psychiatry for assessing someone else's mental state, so it clearly was yourself making those posts. Get a fucking life.
The control and scroll wheel trick still works in Outlook for actual reading of messages though I think. Same with Firefox, IE, and a few other apps.
I think making OS graphics more vector/bezier based would be a good idea though, so that everything can scale nicely to any screen. 3D computer games have always been able to scale well to any size of screen, it's a bit sad that it's taken this long for an OS to do the same. It's one thing that Vista got right, I was quite impressed when I heard about that feature, but I didn't know if they'd actually implemented it until reading one of the comments above.
We could do with this for both large *and* small screen setups. I don't have any issues with reading text yet myself, but I hope that by the time my eyes start failing, that all displays will be easily customisable..
Do you even know what a paragraph is? I had 3 of them.
Anyway, since you started pretending to be other people I've lost all respect for you and am not going to bother trying to help you any more. Goodbye, you utter waste of skin..
Dude, stop pretending to be other people, it's sad. You claimed before that it was other people that were posting, however in both of those posts you mentioned "not having PHDs in english or psychiatry", which is something you do all the time as APK. You even did it again in this post. I was not a "psychiatric case", I got anti-depressants from my general practitioner.
I am not the one tripping over and contradicting myself. Remember when you said that people with slashdot accounts are "easily tracked fools"? Then when I pointed out that you are easily tracked, you said that it is because you are not afraid to hide. Applying one standard to everyone else and claiming that it's noble in your own case, is stupid. Pretending to be other people is downright pathetic. Do you get that nobody else in the whole fucking world cares if people have PHDs or missed out two words in a latin translation? Probably not, which is why you suck so bad at faking replies from other people (which I also saw you do in one of the posts you linked to earlier).
Oh, and in searching for more funny posts by yourself I noticed that you posted the same comment TEN times on the MSDN website, each time with a slightly different message at the bottom. You are a total and utter spammer. You still have provided no justification for posting spam in reply to my initial joke on this thread. Like I said, get a fucking blog and link to that instead of posting this shit in full on multiple forums all over the place. People will hate you a lot less. I can't believe I'm still trying to be polite to you, you're such a wimpy little asshole, even pretending to be virtual friends to back yourself up -.-
Name a single Loonix distro that backports security fixes to a version of their distro that is 9 years old and you might be able to make something resembling a point.
The difference is that you can upgrade to the latest fully patched versions of Linux distros for free.
Sorry this is so late, I just happened to notice it just now because of the crazy guy having an argument with me below:s
Umm.. and can you prove that those posts weren't you? They're all AC, the first two could be more of what I presume are your cut and paste insults that other people have used against you, and the third one especially is in your style "prove that you have a PHD, blah blah".
How can I "ignore" anything you say, when I quote each thing you state & reply to each quote?
You often ignore or twist what I actually says, or show a complete lack of understanding (thinking that depression is the same as insanity for instance). You seem to ignore that there are many other people who doubt your own grasp on reality, and then claim that I do not have one.
At least this time you responded properly, but unfortunately for you these posts are hardly conclusive. There are a few trolls on/. to be sure, so maybe they weren't you - but even if they weren't (and I doubt it, who else would defend your crazy spam?), it's kind of sad that you call me a troll as if you think it's an insult, but when you see a real troll you just think it's funny?

How can Sylar pick-up a person and throw him against a wall? Newton's Law dictates that Sylar should be pushed backward with an equal force (recoil)
I take it you've never been bowling, for fear of being hurled back out through the front doors when you throw the ball down the alley?

Yeah, I thought it would be funny if you saw how silly it is.. and at least I admitted it was me, I don't like to lie about stuff really.

I seriously think it would be better to write all your HOWTO and security stuff in a blog, and then just link to that instead of having to copy and paste all the time? I didn't have trouble reading it, I just really don't like when people use so much bold and capitals - it makes me think of all the "GNAA" crap that is posted here on slashdot.
I actually use Linux at both work and home which is why I don't worry too much about Windows security at the moment ;) Though it is part of my job to support people who use Windows, so it is still slightly relevant. I agree that Spybot is great software, and it's good to put known bad sites in your hosts file so that you can't visit them.
I've done a couple nice things over time, I am glad of it, but... sometimes
Yeah, I've seen you can be nice. as long as people agree with you. I think you need to work on how to disagree with people without getting mad lol. I know I was getting angry too so whatever, I have been trying to be reasonable at times too :P
Yeah I used to believe in God and the bible, but I stopped last year. Since then I have been trying to better myself without any help from any gods ;)
I'm "OK" @ Comp. Sci. imo/estimation, especially by way of comparison to say, the likes of Mr. John Carmack (great) & Mr. Anders Heijelsberg (borland & microsoft): I can "get the job done" is my estimation of myself, but compared to guys like the 2 I mention now? I am a DUSTMOTE... lol!
I feel the same about my own skills lol. I am happy with my current job as IT Manager/programmer for a small business, it's friendly and relaxed, and pays okay. The most important thing is to enjoy your job :)
The only reason I searched around for APK stuff was because you called me easil
he trolled the hell out of me no less & then "stragely backed off"
First, I wasn't trolling. I was even modded insightful on the post that you keep linking to. Thanks again ;)
I backed off because you obviously are not the type of person to quit even after you have lost so badly that you need to pretend to be other people who agree with yourself. I didn't see the point in it. But you chose to keep going. So I've decided I might as well harass you for a while since you truly deserve it, you girlfriend beating loser. I'd really enjoy knocking you down a peg or two, but I bet since you're in the US and you're such a paranoid fuckwit, that you probably have lots of guns, so it's not worth it. lol
Hahahahahaha.. oh dear.. I just read more of your post. Do you really think that having your shareware in magazines counts as being "published"? xD In that case, I was "published" when I was 13 years old, because one of my computer games was in a magazine. It doesn't mean anything.
Every time you say something that retarded it makes me feel a little bad for making fun or someone who is incapable of defending themself, but if you are going to keep choosing to harass me, then you will keep getting pwned..
By the way, if you were a good coder you'd know that it's best to re-use code as a function rather than always copy and paste. The fact that you always copy and paste your spam instead of linking to a blog to me indicates that you probably have a very inefficient coding style..
By the by: I don't interpret your puny trolling of myself as a joke. Get that thru your head. Thanks.)
That's a shame, because I've decided if you keep spamming my slashdot posts, I'm going to have fun fucking with your burnt out, drug addled, girlfriend beating, piece of shit head.
I wasn't trying to troll you before, I was actually trying to be kind. But if you want trolling and spam, I'm sure I sort out a little trolling and spam in return. It's sad that you have been posting on one of Jeremy Reimer's threads for FOUR YEARS, pretending to be yourself and other people. I don't know if I have the patience for four years of dealing with you, but we'll see. The only reason you pretend to be other people is because nobody else agrees with your version of reality, so you have to pretend to be other people just to have anyone who agrees with you. That must mean you're quite aware that what you write is a load of bullshit, but yet somehow you still keep on going, making yourself seem more and more of a fool. It's part of your personality disorder.
Anyone with two brain cells can tell that all of those posts of people who agree with you are written by you. Except instead of having millions of stupid one sentence paragraphs like you do in your "APK => PS" posts, you switch to having no paragraphs at all. Both of those are crappy uses of paragraphs, hence why I said that you cannot use paragraphs.
By the way, the "mental boy" (cool name btw, thanks, I might use it in future :D ) post that you keep linking to - http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1438984&cid=30107250 - the one that calls you a troll with mental issues? Someone moderated it "insightful". LOL.
Actually, it was just me. Dumbass.
As long as it doesn't result in any false negatives, I think it sounds like a great product for speeding up sweeping. Even if half of a 'field does end up alight, at least they can ignore the dark portions and concentrate on the lit areas.
In a sparsely mined area it could save weeks, months or years of painstaking work - or a few limbs in the case where currently nobody is bothering to sweep the area clean at all.
The next step is for the bacteria to auto dissolve the explosives, kind of like that blue stuff in Predator, heh. I just hope these little guys don't have the potential to cause more problems than they solve!
There is you little mental case freak
You might wish to believe that, but you are most definitely both. The hypothesis remains unsupported xD
You are a spammer, and a liar. Almost every insult you spout is probably something that people have said about you. You need to either change your ways, or just shut the fuck up and stop trying to prove how great you are. You are nothing but a sniveling little weasel who is seeking for attention. Now, this is the last time I'm going to respond to your cries for attention. Remember that "mama" post? Whoever originally wrote that about you before you copied it, was spot on. See you around, dipshit.
lol :) you can't handle being starved of attention, can you? :)
You are the only one that has been trolling this whole time, and when you realised that you weren't getting to me, you tried to pretend to be "others" who agree with yourself. Sad.
By the way - I am not ashamed of the fact that I was on medication for depression in the slightest. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it if I were, and the fact that you think it's something to be ashamed of might explain why haven't seen a doctor about whatever issues you most certainly have. You have already proven yourself to be a liar though, so I wouldn't be surprised if you were on medication for some bipolar disorder or similar. At the very least you need to take anger management classes and learn how to get a perspective on life.
Anyone who can google your name (Alexander Peter Kowalski for anyone who is interested - the blog posts by people who have had email conversations with this nutcase are hilarious, though sadly disturbing) can see that you are a wacko.
The point I realised that you are a complete idiot and not worth speaking to, was when you asked if *I* can prove that I wasn't the anonymous coward troll replies to myself. Well, no I cannot prove it - but why would I fucking WANT to? It is purely on you to prove that you aren't making up virtual friends to back up your worthless assertions. Plus, as I have pointed out, you are the only idiot in the world who thinks that people need a PHD in English to criticise writing style, or a PHD in psychiatry for assessing someone else's mental state, so it clearly was yourself making those posts. Get a fucking life.
The control and scroll wheel trick still works in Outlook for actual reading of messages though I think. Same with Firefox, IE, and a few other apps.
I think making OS graphics more vector/bezier based would be a good idea though, so that everything can scale nicely to any screen. 3D computer games have always been able to scale well to any size of screen, it's a bit sad that it's taken this long for an OS to do the same. It's one thing that Vista got right, I was quite impressed when I heard about that feature, but I didn't know if they'd actually implemented it until reading one of the comments above.
We could do with this for both large *and* small screen setups. I don't have any issues with reading text yet myself, but I hope that by the time my eyes start failing, that all displays will be easily customisable..
Are you really this stupid or are you just trolling?
You mean there's an actual difference between the two? Interesting hypothesis, but I've yet to see any data to back it up.
Do you even know what a paragraph is? I had 3 of them.
Anyway, since you started pretending to be other people I've lost all respect for you and am not going to bother trying to help you any more. Goodbye, you utter waste of skin..
" PS => ", as you say.
you are a troll that said he could not read the guy's words
No, I said I found his style annoying, and I COULD NOT BE BOTHERED reading them, there is a big difference between "cannot", and "do not want to".
but you certainly reply to his points very well
Thanks - and I did so without a PHD in English - who would have thought it possible? ;)
Dude, stop pretending to be other people, it's sad. You claimed before that it was other people that were posting, however in both of those posts you mentioned "not having PHDs in english or psychiatry", which is something you do all the time as APK. You even did it again in this post. I was not a "psychiatric case", I got anti-depressants from my general practitioner.
I am not the one tripping over and contradicting myself. Remember when you said that people with slashdot accounts are "easily tracked fools"? Then when I pointed out that you are easily tracked, you said that it is because you are not afraid to hide. Applying one standard to everyone else and claiming that it's noble in your own case, is stupid. Pretending to be other people is downright pathetic. Do you get that nobody else in the whole fucking world cares if people have PHDs or missed out two words in a latin translation? Probably not, which is why you suck so bad at faking replies from other people (which I also saw you do in one of the posts you linked to earlier).
Oh, and in searching for more funny posts by yourself I noticed that you posted the same comment TEN times on the MSDN website, each time with a slightly different message at the bottom. You are a total and utter spammer. You still have provided no justification for posting spam in reply to my initial joke on this thread. Like I said, get a fucking blog and link to that instead of posting this shit in full on multiple forums all over the place. People will hate you a lot less. I can't believe I'm still trying to be polite to you, you're such a wimpy little asshole, even pretending to be virtual friends to back yourself up -.-
Name a single Loonix distro that backports security fixes to a version of their distro that is 9 years old and you might be able to make something resembling a point.
The difference is that you can upgrade to the latest fully patched versions of Linux distros for free.
Sorry this is so late, I just happened to notice it just now because of the crazy guy having an argument with me below :s
Umm.. and can you prove that those posts weren't you? They're all AC, the first two could be more of what I presume are your cut and paste insults that other people have used against you, and the third one especially is in your style "prove that you have a PHD, blah blah".
How can I "ignore" anything you say, when I quote each thing you state & reply to each quote?
You often ignore or twist what I actually says, or show a complete lack of understanding (thinking that depression is the same as insanity for instance). You seem to ignore that there are many other people who doubt your own grasp on reality, and then claim that I do not have one.
At least this time you responded properly, but unfortunately for you these posts are hardly conclusive. There are a few trolls on /. to be sure, so maybe they weren't you - but even if they weren't (and I doubt it, who else would defend your crazy spam?), it's kind of sad that you call me a troll as if you think it's an insult, but when you see a real troll you just think it's funny?
