FYI: RIAA tries to pull plug on Usenet. Seriously.

LOL! That doesn't stop you from blubbering whatever pops in your head
though does it. You were "only" off by 300%. That's what I mean about
you self-important wannabe expert types. All talk, mostly bluff. You
can't backup ANYTHING you claim. You just got proved wrong. Again.
Till the next time. I'm sure we won't have to wait long. ;-)

You need to let that minkie in your cell do the talking as you present
yourself as a demented as*hole. At least the minkie is smarter and will
not shoot himself in the foot like you keep doing.

So what's the over-under (in years or months) that the RIAA will
officially declare Linux to be a tool for piracy.

Rather depends on when Steve Ballmer thinks of it (Looks at watch)

Doesn't change the fact that I was right, that most of the crap on
usenet, as far as data goes, is files.

It's nice to see that you have nothing of value to add to any thread.

Frank has taken over whats left of your demented brain. Frank was won
all battles with you yet you keep flapping your fat jowls like a chicken
with it's head cut off.
You are the ng's best, biggest and most famous loud mouth h as*hole idiot.
A title you so warmly deserve.
Congratulations!

I sure can make you babble. "Frank was won all battles with you..."

What Bill Gates SHOULD do is withdraw Windows of all types from the European
Union. My, how they will scream. And there is NOTHING they could do about
it.

European Union. My, how they will scream. And there is NOTHING they
could do about it.

There is already a large movement to open source software in the EU, it
would just accelerate that. It seems to me that the key difference here is
that we are not in thrall to industry, we expect them to act responsibly,
and we are willing to stand up to bullying.

 

[BearItAll]

As far as idiots, you seem to be a member in good standing of that
club. Usenet was formed with one purpose in mind. NO RULES.

That is completely wrong.

Usenet was formed on the back of bulletin boards. It was innitially just
an easier way to find groups or boards, before then you had to wait until
someone invited you, the groups were to talk about things you are
interested in.

Obviously there were many UNIX bulletin boards, because bulletin
boards started on UNIX. But you also got many other groups as things
picked up speed.

The only reason rules started to come into play was because of the
spoilers, those who would set up a script to pour gunge into the boards.
Then later spam and adverts.

The news groups are full of spoiled groups, some ran their course and died
naturally, others were attempting to be free of control and were simply
destroyed with spam.

I know. I
was there from the beginning. Yet there are always bozos like you that
always attempt to impose and enforce rules you think would fit your
distorted view of what others may enjoy.

There are two sorts of rules, those that try to limit what the posters can
say, I am fully against those. I don't like the little hitlers banning
people from groups or filtering posts, because it always ends up with them
filtering out any post that disagrees with their own stance, what ever the
subject.

The other rules are those that try to protect the users so that they can
say what they want to say. These have limited success.

As fot the binaries though, you have to remember that not everyone is on
broadband and not everyone likes to boot into a gui. A huge block of mime
can tie up a farmers PC for ages. For those on text only readers it is
just a huge block of crap.

Binaries are much better out of the news group, just a link to another
place.

I would be interested to know why you were so insulting to lythos. I
thought his comments were reasonable.

And yes, I too was there at the start, so don't try to use the 'I was on
the first BB' argument with me because those days are long gone and it
just don't wash as a modern argument, the people are different, not
better and not worse, just different. We were all 100% techies/geeks in
those days and many of the groups were pretty much the same thing, mates
talking pewters, arranging the next beer fest, oops I mean UNIX show and
sharing bits and bobs.

If the modern news groups were pure geek as they were then, no one would
join them, including myself. Such things have a limited life.

 

[BearItAll]

Seeing some the slop you've posted what you believe and reality rarely
meet. You fanboy wannabe types are quite funny to read when you get
your underwear all bunched up like yours obviously are right now. If
you first started posting in 1984, you came to the party very late. It
began quite innocently in late 1979.

Right, and as I knew most of the UNIX men because we all used the
same few server spaces to chat etc then likely we have talked
before. That is, it you are UK/Europe/Japan/Aussy), I don't know why but I
really can never remember any americans on the boards. No doubt they had
they own over there.

But why are you taking such a bad attitude over this subject? Lythos
hasn't said anything negative, only you have. Is it an age thing?

Hmm... Leythos doesn't sound French. That would explain the arrogance
maybe. It does sound like that could be a Greek name, they too can be
a full of themselves. BTW, we should tell our wannabe expert Leythos
EVERYTHING on Usenet is a file, not just "most" things.

If anyone cares, I have Austrian/German ancestry. Like Kalifornia
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't have any tolerance for
"girle-men", seems a lot of those types infest this newsgroup too.

It's hard to miss your constant mistakes. You going to tell us anytime
soon what's on Usenet that isn't a file?

The greatest thing that would speed the movement to more progressive
platforms, more choice and more economic growth would be the simple act of
passing Open Data Format legislation.

But, its evidentally too simple a task for most to grasp.

I'd take that bet. They would fail. The EU is a complete disaster of an
organization. Progressive? The most regressive concept in political
history, unable to do a thing.

The EU has a few things over the DOJ though, like how they handle MS
antitrust issues.
