A very mature statement John.
I`ve long adopted the philosophy, "If you lose your `cool`,
you`ve lost the argument".
It`s actually very easy for us all to treat each other with respect.
In fact it can be quite a nice feeling.

My old granny used to tell us 'never talk with your mouth full or your
brain empty'

Took me a few years to finally comprehend this! <g>

Yuo don't get the analogy, you moron, do you.

Oh, how intelligent :) .

Nobody does that. Every operative system out there have problems that are
solved in comming versions. Redhat doesn't mantain their 2.0 release even
for those companies that bought their stuff 5 years ago. It's life.

No no no. This is all very off topic. But thanks. My new Victory Touring
Cruiser is very nice.

If you search in alt.binaries.pictures.motorcycles.harley, you might
find the picture I posted there a while back.

After he has established himself as a violent guy he has the upper
hand in social life, everybody else are nicer, so he enjoys the
pleasure of domination everybody.

He just needs to remind everybody that he is something special in every
post he makes.

I just wrote this about a similar guy in the philosophy newsgroups:

You shouldn't even have to talk to people who are using foul language
and scare people like that gorgde guy from new zeeland. After he has
scared people he feels like he is the king, and now he can enjoy
talking nicely to people who talk nicely to him, because he got the
upper hand socially.

If I was going to talk to him after he behaved like that I would first
take him out on a little hunting trip in the forest and show him how it
feels to be scared when he talks to people from now on. He really asks
for such a treatment. Otherwise one should never use violence. Only
against those who use it to gain a social upper hand. Unfortunately
there are such people around, and some of them use the money system
instead of bad social behavior.

Boycott gordge, because of bad social behavior, don't let him get away
with that kind of game. Let's all refuse to talk to him, because we not
want to use the same methods as him, this place would really become
unpleasant if we did.


I wondered when all this spam showed up in acf, what is corliss going
to do now?

He is always so brave and tough when some kid posts a single spam
message.
Corliss shows all the world that he has sent an abuse report, etc..

So what is he doing about this extreme wave of spamming?

He is quiet for two days. Then he shows up and asks nicely, could you
please remove acf from your headers.. It is like he has found his
overman, so it is time to get nice.

But towards little kids he is the big bad corliss, lead pipe and all.

What kind of society are we living in?

Is it a bully gang?

Who gains on that we need to be angry all the time?

The people who want to control us, who feel pleasure from having the
social upper hand, people who are not afraid of using violence and then
enjoy the less violent minds.

Why do some girls encourage these violent boys?
Because they have been trained and convinced that men have to be manly?

Or because it is more fun to break down a really stupid and violent guy
with love?

Because the girls are pretty tough souls themselves, often traumatized
during early youth to become very head strong women?

Well, who knows..

Win2k Pro for me.

You know what I did last night? I installed Windows 2000 Pro on my
computer. For the first time I have installed and used a later
microsoft system than win98se which I have used for years.

I still don't know if I am going to continue using it. I have saved
ghost images of win98se in different stages, a pure quick version, and
the full system I used yesterday, and I also made an image of a totally
empty drive, so I can restore the emptyness without having to delete
everything.

After installing win2000pro and some drivers, and some setting up of
preferences, I also made an image of that, so I can restore whatever
system I like to use.

One of the reasons I took the step to win2kpro is that I bought an usb
mp3 player, and found that win98se is known for its instability with
usb connections like mp3 players. It often locked up, and really long
mp3 songs could not be transferred.

Now it is rock steady, and I could easily copy Jimi Hendrix, Red House,
the long live version, 12 minutes, to my mp3 player.

A lot of software also demands higher windows versions than 98se.

Soon we will have very good Linux systems, so I am sure this is the
last microsoft system I will have to use.

Mepis live CD is already good enough for general use of computers. I
just happen to have a lot of old DOS and windows stuff I still want to
play with.

Imagine you bought a car with disfunctional brakes and steering, no
tyres, wrong windscreen wipers, no tail lights and broken gears. Bit
my bit things are fixed, but then you realize half the engine is
missing. "Sorry sir, we can't fix it, but you can buy a newer model,
it has the missing half of the engine, but we're not sure about the
rear axle, will be fixed next year or so, or not."
That's more or less the Micro$oft way of operating.

Sorry George, but you are incorrect. New versions of the OS are not
about fixing bugs. It's about adding new features. You might find this
interesting:

Explains a whole lot, doesn't it? I can't see that his philosophy has
changed much since then.

IMHO, we already have good Linux systems. But most stuff is still made for
geeks, by geeks.

The best linux system I have tried was Mepis live CD, and that was at
least 6 months ago. It worked very well right off the live CD. If I had
time I would try the latest Mepis, and the Knoppix that was released a
few weeks ago is probably good too,

and maybe what you are using, Ubuntu :)

By the way, I spent an hour yesterday trying to crash Deep Paint, and I
didn't succeed. It crashed easily on win98se. So now I am happy in my
new win2000 system :)

It was easier than expected. I had heard a lot about having to run as a
user, and registering programs before they could be run, so I was
pleasantly surprised by win2000pro, it let me run as the administrator,
and my old programs run without any hassle at all.

I do not need to use any password to start the computer. It works very
much like win98se, but it is very stable and programs that were
unstable in win98 are stable in win2000.

There were programs I could not use because they needed win2000 or
higher, and now I am not limited by that problem either.
