More proof Frankie numbnuts is just an idiot, liar and screw-up.

Drunk again, huh?
So what else is new?

So you have no evidence to cite then. One just need to check your posting
history to be sure of that.

GoAT

hehehe...don't know how to google huh?

Well then if "they" whoever the hell that's suppose to be keeps
dumbing down interfaces then finally you and Frank, two of the most
clueless and ignorant bozos currently posting to this newsgroup I've
seen maybe you two some day will be able to learn how to use a
computer to maybe if you're lucky type your name in Notepad and manage
to save the file and be able to get it back on the third or fourth
try.



I haven't seen anything more stupid than the two idiots named Frank
and Leythos flapping their gums pretending to be computer experts.
Damn funny show boys, keep it up.

Hint: Neither of you losers known sh*t about computers or software or
any OS in particular. You faking that you do no doubt has many rolling

a damn thing. Nada, zip. Anybody reading the slop you two idiots write
understands that perfectly.

Still wearing that dirty diaper adam?

Diaper rash got you waded up, huh?
Live with it you drunken moron.

I am glad I killfiled that forming about the mouth lunatic. What should have
happened to him at birth is they should have strangled him with his on
placenta so that he would have never made it to the Internet.

I didn't 'complain,' I simply observed. And asked a question.

In my view, complaing about an OT post is, by definition, off-topic.

And it's even more ridiculous for an MVP to do exactly the same thing
that he has loudly complained about another poster doing! Just making
an observation here.

That's not the same as "Ubuntu was the savior of the world" as Frank
claimed. I've heard people in this group (possible Alias) say the Open
Office is a viable alternative, and similar with Ubuntu or other Linux
flavors. Whats wrong with that?

Actually, that quote is an exaggeration, but "Alias" really did claim that
Linux, in general, and Ubuntu, in particular, didn't *need* any AV or
defrag. Period. Ever.

That's part of the fun of reading groups like this. There is a surplus
of self-important stuffed shirts and windbags, many MVPs, that scream
and yell. Being the hypocrites we all know they are end up doing
exactly the same things they endlessly bitch about. Then there are the
few unstable border line mental cases like Frank that scream and yell
everyone not bowing down and kissing Microsoft's butt is a troll,
idiot or both that always ends up coming off as the loudest most
obnoxious doofus of them all. It has ALWAYS been that way on Usenet.
Some things never change.

Well that's sort of because that happens to be mostly the case. It is
inherently more resistant (note I said resistant, not invulnerable) to
virus / malware attacks than windows is. Also, Postcard.exe from the
latest spammer isn't capable of infecting a linux system. There aren't
enough linux threats in the wild to were you need to be constantly
watching your system like you do under windows. So no, AV isn't really
something one needs overly worry about. The primary use currently for
AV under linux is to protect windows systems (mail servers for example).

Bottom line, I'd not recommend someone be oblivious and ignorant of
security and protection...but they don't need to have 20 background
processes like under windows constantly scanning the system.

Now as far as defrag goes, yes....never is pretty much the way to put it.
Different file system, it works differently. No, it does not require
defragmentation. It stays defragmented by design. The only time an
ext2/ext3 file system can suffer from any amount of fragmentation that
would actually be of concern is when the disk is past 90% of its capacity
and there just isn't enough free space available to keep it defragmented.

But I think that point in time, one needs to worry about a larger or
second hard drive far more than they need to worry about fragmentation.

My only question is, "Who is actully responsible for Linux?" Linus writes
the kernel, others write drivers, the GNU tools, etc, ad nauseum, but where
does the buck actually stop? If they change things, break stuff ( Like what
happened with Vista) who does something about it? Who do you complain
to? Hey, if I buy the software pre loaded in a computer, and something
happens, or isn't working , what can I do, when I call the manufacturer,
and they say " Well, as soon as the ice melts, and the penguin is
out..

And what do you do with Windows? Who do you call there?

If you are having a problem, you think a tech support monkey really
actually cares? You think you can get past the tech support monkeys and
actually talk to someone of importance?

Shit, Microsoft won't even give you support unless you pay for it. Paying
for the OS isn't sufficient anymore.

Now if you are using, say Ubuntu for example, and you want support beyond
community support? You want someone responsible to call, yell, bitch,
whine and moan at when things don't work? You can have that. Canonical has
support contracts available which you can purchase and you can get all the
tech support you want. 24 hours a day 7 days a week if you want it...just
a phone call away.

So far theres nothing to back that up. You're just guessing that because
Windows is so wide spread, you have a large amount no so bright users. You
don't know that the same will be the typical case in Linux as well as it
grows in population. But what you seem to really be missing is many of the
moving to Linux tend to be those who have at least soem clue of what they
are doing. That could be enough to make a significant difference. If the
less-than-bright types attempt to move I doubt they will last too long
unless they try and educate them sevles, which might actualy be a good thing
in the long run.

Wonder if Bill Gates has thought of that for advertising purposes...
Windows - the system for dumb users.

It's kind of funny to watch this. Leythos has a bunch of home user *clowns*
posting to him in the NG and in this thread, mainly trolls and lunatics. The
man has been working in IT longer than most of them have most likely been
alive, both MS and Linux platforms. He has them all out classed but they
don't know that.

I know you're reading this Leythos, and man it is funny.

LOL!!!!!

And you know all of the above how? Do you include yourself as one of the

This newsgroup is infested with way too many wannabe types like the
jerk "Mr. Arnold" and stuck-up Leythos, neither of which really know a
damn thing. I've been working with computers since the late 60's and
can spot a phony a mile away. These two gold bricks are a riot to
read!

How many Bozos you know that demands he be addressed as Mr. in a
informal setting like a newsgroup? That alone speaks volumes. The guy
is class A jerk and wannabe desperately looking for attention.

Leythos is a legend in his own mind and gets off boasting. Two
laughable clowns. Newsgroups are infested with such losers and one
thing for sure, they make most people laugh.

I've given up on trying to reason with them. I see that Adam is one of
the biggest, rudest, nasty, trolls in the group and can't actually find
a reason to chat with him. At least Kurt (not seen in a long time) was
ethical and reasonable, even if I didn't agree with his piracy points.
Adam is just plain disrespectful and nasty and can't seem to make a post
without hate injected in it.

It is funny watching them, but as I get older it's gone from funny to
feeling sorry (not compassion) for them and their failure to get
anything healthy out of life.

I've decided to move back from Vista to XP until Vista's been on the
street for 12 months and until enough hardware has been replaced with at
least Core 2 Duo machines with 512MB Video cards.

I don't see this Kurt. I must have killfiled it out of the gate. And old
Adam Hopalong, I gave him a hot moment, but realized all he wants to do is
flame dance so he hit the KF too.

You'll do good to just ignore those kind of posters. In some ways, this NG
with trolls and lunatics running loose in it is the worst I have seen.

Yeah, it gets pretty old quick in dealing with them. What life some of
these people have other than the Internet is a mystery, with some having the
Internet as their only reason for existence on Earth it seems.

I've decided to move back from Vista to XP until Vista's been on the

Vista came on this new HP dv9000 Entertainment laptop I got back 4/2007,
when the laptop that was running XP Pro became a door stop.

Vista Ultimate has done everything I have asked of it of both .Net
development and entertainment wise with no problems. I am happy with it, and
I'll never go back to XP.

What I "get" out of this newsgroup is dethroning phonies like you that
waltz in here, crow what a "expert" you claim to be then watch you

Translation: This phony computer "expert" can't figure out how to use
Vista and needs to retreat back to XP. LOL!

Hint #1
It took me all of five minutes to "figure out" what's new/different in
Vista. Who's the REAL expert?

Hint #2
By DESIGN, Microsoft hasn't and likely never will make any major
changes in how you navigate your way around within Windows. Changes in
Vista are mostly cosmetic. Nothing has changed drastically at the
fundamental level. Windows is still the same old Windows it always
was. Things that are annoying like UAC, can easily be turned off.

So if you know how to use ANY version of Windows and you have at least
average intelligence you shouldn't have any real difficulty using any
newer version of Windows and the changes/new/different features.

Microsoft does assumes you can read. Further they assumes you are
willing to read up on what has been changed. It is all contained in
the build in help. My guess, 99.9% of users don't even look at the
included help system. Too bad, it is better than ever in Vista and
includes animation and useful examples including graphics and
extensive hand holding for those wishing that plus more technical
details for those wishing to learn that.

Lastly Microsoft assumes you know how to point and click and
understand many options are accessed by starting with right clicking
on objects. An example would be image files. If you simply left click
on a image file it shows a thumbnail or spawns a viewer if you double
click. However if you right click on a image file you get presented
with many options, still more if you click on properties and go on
from there.

All VERY simple. Really, but you need to be willing to help yourself.
Sadly many people are too lazy for that.
