The term "feeding" can mean different types of responses:

1. One can refute the psychopath's lies.

2. One can tell the psychopath that it is evil and
it is DEFINITELY NOT WANTED IN THIS FORUM.

Maybe type 1 response doesn't work. Psychopaths don't
care about the truth. Since they so readily lie to
support their agenda, whatever that is, truth may have
as little meaning to them internally, as it does when
they communicate externally in a spew of lies. Snit
ignores all refutations of his lies.

But the second type of response may work. Observe Snit's
negative response to the posting of the list of 160+
comments telling him he is evil, and to go away and never
come back. He doesn't like that. Now what if a lot of
people in present time tell him he's being evil and to
stop, or to go away and not come back. He is sensitive
to the reception he's getting.

Evil need to be opposed. None of the researchers on
psychopaths recommend to ignore them and they will go away.
As Stefan Verstappen says, ignoring them is how they take
control of our political, financial, corporate, and media
systems, and destroy civilization.

_The Chalice and the Blade_ by Riane Eisler, is a book that
everyone should read, because it tells the true history of
humankind as revealed by unbiased archeology.

Prior to about 5,000 years ago, almost all human cultures
were peaceful, cooperative, non-dominating, non-exploitive.
That's natural, because it's obviously the way for everyone
to thrive and live successfully.

But about 5,000 years ago, some cultures developed organized
psychopathy -- a few psychopaths ruling over everyone else,
mass robbery, mass murder. It may have been due to some
global stress conditions -- perhaps the Sun getting hotter
for a while and killing the crops. The Greeks, Romans, Jews,
and various other groups developed this type of culture,
which Eisler (and Marija Gimbutas, the archeologist on whose
work her book is based) call "The Dominator Paradigm".

The Dominator cultures attacked the previous, peaceful,
"Partnership" cultures. The partnership people were robbed
and enslaved or simply murdered by the organized psychopaths
and their soldiers.

The Partnership people had better technology than the
Dominators, but not in the area of mass murder -- "war".
They tried to reason with the Dominators, and befriend them.
It didn't work. The Dominators murdered them. The last
Partnership culture was the Minoans on the island of Crete.
They were murdered about 3500 years ago.

This mass murder of healthy, happy Partnership cultures
by organized psychopaths is the most important event
in human history. It's why hundreds of millions of
people have subsequently been murdered in "wars", and
why humanity now stands on the verge of extinction by
nuclear or biological "war". ("war" is a propaganda
word for mass murder by organized psychopaths.)

It shows that ignoring psychopaths is fatal -- they take
control and they rule, destroy, and murder.

The psychopathic Zionists cut down the life-sustaining olive
and fig trees of the Palestinians. They have no reason to.
They just want to break the Palestinians' hearts, to destroy
their lives.

Psychopaths hate all life, all living things, all people
(except other psychopaths). As children, psychopaths
frequently torture and kill small animals.

All the researchers of psychopathy say the same thing:
Psychopaths must not be ignored. They must be exposed and
fought. Otherwise they will take control and will rule,
and they will destroy whatever area they rule over.

So I ask your help in actively fighting the extremely vicious
psychopath Snit Michael Glasser.

Don't just ignore him, or he will post without limit and
wreck COLA as he wrecked CSMA.

Face reality, don't pretend that it doesn't exist. Please
tell Snit every time he posts his lies and hate that he's
doing evil and is not welcome here.

Why Psychopaths Must Be Fought!

Remember, you are a self-described psychopath... so you are saying people
"must" fight you. This, perhaps, explains why you think your parents fought
you and your teachers and your school principal... why all the camp staff
fought you simply because you had a reaction to food... why you think
Microsoft fights you and why you think the government might even kill you.
And, of course, why you imagine I started some fight with you.

Your persecution complex is now more clear - you think people have no
choice... they *must* fight you.

But this is not true. I, for example, want to see you get help. I do not
wish to fight you at all - I want you to get better. I want you to be
happier. I want you to learn to be honest. I think you can do these things.

You clearly do not believe this... but with help you might. I am sincere in
my offer to assist you in seeking help.

...

Oh, I do a form of that - but I give you a chance to explain yourself. You
rarely even try... you just run. Here is a list of comments and questions
and facts you run from: <http://bit.ly/Y741mf>.

But, still, given how you and I and all others who read your posts and mine
know you have no answer for that, you can consider that a full refutation of
your claims.

> 2. One can tell the psychopath that it is evil and
> it is DEFINITELY NOT WANTED IN THIS FORUM.

I would not say that to you. Instead I encourage you to get help. And you
should. I even offer to help you. I would not sink to your level.

> Maybe type 1 response doesn't work.

I think it has: even though you will never publicly admit to it, the fact
you claim my simple questions and statements of non-offensive facts are
"attacks" against you shows you have made progress in seeing that your
claims are not true. I do believe you once actually believed your fictions.
Now you do not.

You also decided to throw Carroll under the bus and share the fact he has
admitted to you in private what, as far as I know, he has *always* denied in
public. This was an interesting choice of yours and, assuming it was not
accidental, it shows you are developing some level of morality, even if only
slight. I commend you for this.

> Psychopaths don't care about the truth.

But you do care about trying to convince people of your lies... and now it
is clear, even to you, that you cannot do that - or at least often fail.
This is a learning experience for you. Still, it is not the deep level of
help that you need. You should seek professional assistance - and I will
help you get it if you want.

Do you think you can improve and move past this? Clearly even you now
recognize it as a problem.

> Snit ignores all refutations of his lies.

See: an attack from you. The very thing you claim psychopaths do. The
reality, of course, is when I am shown to be wrong I admit to it. For
example, I confused your stories about two different videos, one of which
clearly does not exist. You corrected me on that (in a not-very-kind way,
but so be it) and I acknowledged it and apologized. Unlike you I openly
admit when I am shown to be wrong.

This is a big difference between us. You, for example, have been shown
enough evidence to know there is no reason to believe the video you once
claimed to believe in and said was shown in 1990 on PBS existed or was ever
shown. For crying out loud, it does not show up in the TV Guides of that
year! You know this! And yet you will not admit to your error.

I admit to my errors. You do not. You act like the "psychopaths" you speak
of. I do not.

Do you see the difference?

I am not fond of you lying about me and pushing the BS you got from Carroll,
but I do not hold myself accountable for your actions or his. And it is not
really a big deal - so you are showing yourself in a bad light, using
obsessively collected and forged quotes going back to 2004 because you
cannot actually show me doing any significant wrong.

I feel bad for you that you feel this is morally correct... and it is
another reason you should seek help. Notice I do not repeatedly quote Peter
K. and DFS and flatfish and so many others that have noted your poor
behavior - I quote you directly. I prove my point with direct evidence...
not indirect claims from others.

You work to obfuscate truth. I look to shine a light on it.

You note I do not like this... sure, I wish you could rise to my level and
be honest. But you currently show no signs of being able to. I think that is
a shame.

> Evil need to be opposed.

No, I could just ignore you. So could others. I *choose* to respond to your
"evil" acts of mocking 9-11 victims and targeting people's personal and
professional lives.

I recognize choice in behavior. You think you and others are forced to do as
we each do. Another difference in our views on life.

Do you really think your mocking of 9-11 victims and other behavior you
describe as "psychopathic" will allow you to "take control of our political,
financial, corporate, and media systems, and destroy civilization"? If so
you may have a delusion of grandeur as well as the persecution complex you
demonstrate so often.

You have spoken of wanting to kill people. Do you wish to commit "mass

To ignore you is "fatal"... is this another threat from you?

Is that what you did? Was in in response to your feeling you were hated and

staff and so many others? Did you take out your frustration and anger on
small animals?

You are begging for attention. I do not sink to your level, though, which is
what you want - so it is not the type of attention you want.

Your delusions of grandeur are showing again. You are not "ruling" over
anything. You have a meaningless website filled with fictional nonsense and
your bizarre and self-refuting claims are laughed at by pretty much
everyone.

Here you are attacking me, again... projecting your own problems on me... or
maybe blaming me for your actions.

This is right out of Carroll's handbook. Another "tell" of how you two
communicate outside of COLA. You have spoken of emailing him and talking to
him on his phone... though you claimed it was a "burner phone" you could not
call back. That was a very odd lie from you.

> Face reality, don't pretend that it doesn't exist. Please tell Snit every

I am not the one posting hateful posts. That is you.

You are having a hard time telling your truths from your lies. On one hand
you make it very clear you believe you are a "psychopath"... on the other
you accuse me (and pretty much everyone else) of being like you. Then you
say psychopaths do not attack each other even as you attack me.

Do you see where your comments are not rational or reasonable? They are not
logical.

I am sincere in my offer to assist you in finding help. At this point even
you know you need it.

Some of the trolls here are disturbed, but I haven't seen any indication
that they're psychopaths.

The trolls are here for the attention. Ignore them and they will go
elsewhere.

They _WANT_ you to reply to them. The angrier your response, the better.
However, any response at all gives them validation that they're important.

Well, the filthy fscks have formed their little group, in here, and
they will feed and support each other. Because of this, decent people
ignoring them will not cause them all to go away.

Still, decent people engaging the likes of "Snit" is *completely*

Bilk uses the term "psychopath" to describe his own actions and thoughts -
but I would agree there is no real evidence he is one. He has, however,
spoken of his wishes to kill other people and hinted, perhaps, that he used
to torture and kill small animals. If he really did - and I am not
suggesting that is the case - then he might be one.

But he seems too emotional... generally psychopaths do not get so angry when
their lies are challenged... they just do not care.

He does show signs of a persecution complex however. Still, impossible to
diagnose someone based on a few Usenet posts. There is no doubt, though,
that he should be seeking professional help.

I have ignored the stalker for years. He does not go away. And the COLA herd
has each other - so they would not go away either.

I want Bilk to feel important. I want him to seek the help he clearly needs.

I do tend to respond to trolls... so much my doing so has been deemed the
"Snit Circus". I respond to trolls and the trolls blame me. I think that is
funny and quite telling of their mindset.

Bilk is a hideous troll himself, who continually posts complete off

that insane POS killfiled for a good reason. Only Homer and Chris
Ahlstrom support the Bilk jackass.

He has made it very, very clear he thinks of himself - or at least describes
himself - as a psychopath. Here is just one example where he does so in

Flatfish and Cola Zealot (Clogwog Sock-puppet) unfortunately rarely post

thing "Hadron" posts are silly personal attack towards Chris Ahlstrom.

And what if you are all of a sudden labeled "a troll" for writing
something about a Microsoft product? 12 years of *honest* GNU/Linux
advocacy obviously doesn't mater anymore in COLA :-(

I have the idea that *the filthy fscks* where honest GNU/Linux
advocates, who had the *audacity* to openly criticize some of the
shortcomings in Desktop Linux.

Once the herd decides you are not one of them it will be hard for you to get
back in. Grovel enough and they might let you. Remember, these are the herd
speaking points:

* MS has secret deals to stop OEMs from selling Linux pre-installed.
* Apple claims to have invented the "rounded rectangle".
* Desktop Linux serves people as well as the competition.
* Apple never innovated anything.
* Samsung has not been copying Apple's products.
* Apple and MS are struggling / dying companies.
* MS has a monopoly on the desktop.
* Snit is anti-choice (as are others they accuse).
* Snit is anti-Linux (as are others they accuse).
* Snit uses sock puppets (as do others they accuse).
* Stallman's views on kids and sexuality are fine.
* Stallman's doubletalk about "Freedom" is coherent and makes sense.
* MS is evil to have blocked Linux years ago, but Google is fine to
block Aliyun OS *now*.
* When an organization moves to a Linux based product it is always a
good move. When they move away from one it is always a bad move.
* Even though some herd members post membership lists of who is in
the herd, all herd members deny the herd even exists.

And, as you have noted, do not speak well of MS or Apple or any of their
products. Does not matter if they do any good (such as Apple's work to end
DRM on music or their spreading of open source code) or what products they
make you like (you seem to like Win 8), if you speak of these things you
will not get back into their good graces.

Exactly. That is what I am. I am very pro-Linux... but the herd sees me as
evil because I do not think Linux based solutions are the right choice in
all cases (specifically on the desktop, and even then sometimes Linux based
solutions are in my view).

I would prefer to discuss operating systems and technology. Do not speak for
me... that is a bad habit.

Wrong. A LOT of my posts ask him about the Windows work that he boasts about
and why he's recommending Linux to everyone except his company's
customers who license the closed source proprietary Windows only SW that
he QAs for living. This isn't an "attack" - this is asking for
clarification. How come Windows isnt good enough for everyone else but
IS good enough for the people who pay him?

I've been too busy with a new project lately. Also this group has
sunk to a new low.
Now that the truth about false Linux advocacy has been confirmed,
it's no longer a debate but more of an opportunity to categorically
disagree with the other side just to disagree.

As for Chris Ahlstrom, he brings it on himself.
All those years of LIEing for LIEnux have caught up with him, and
others as well now that the cat is officially out of the bag.

Sometimes I wonder if he does it on purpose just to get attention.
He can't be that ignorant.

The false Linux advocates in COLA are hypocritical zealots who have
tunnel vision and can't see any point of view but their own. Part of
it stems from the cult like peer pressure applied to members of the
Linux community and part of it stems from a weakness to speak one's
mind.

They will argue till the death why Ardour is better than ProTools all
the while ignoring the fact that Grammy winning music is made every
day with ProTools and Ardour is a virtual unknown in the professional
studio.
They simply can't see any other solution but their own so they LIE
for LIEnux.

That's the difference between them and us.
I see positives for Linux and have stated so for many years.
Embedded, servers, Android, Super Computers etc.
Great place for Linux.

I also see problems with Windows and have gone on record as saying
so.
Vista was a mess when first released.
I hate tiles.
I hated Windows ME.
Microsoft's commercials are awful.
Microsoft has over the years engaged in poor stewardship in the
community.

Exactly.
Say something negative about Linux, no matter how truthful, and the
same person who was an accepted member of the cult becomes an enemy.

And to attack those on "the other side". I am one of few who actually is
looking to have reasoned conversations - though I realize in COLA that is an
unlikely thing to happen.

Same with Photoshop / GIMP, MS Office / LibreOffice, ScreenFlow / ???
[Nothing]... they generally cannot admit that Linux is not the be-all
solution.

Heck they cannot even admit that the KDE/Gnome/other mix-and-match desktop
is by nature detrimental. It is.

Wrong, Marti.

Eudaemonic research proceeded with the casual mania peculiar to this part of
the world. Nude sunbathing on the back deck was combined with phone calls to
Advanced Kinetics in Costa Mesa, American Laser Systems in Goleta, Automation
Industries in Danbury, Connecticut, Arenberg Ultrasonics in Jamaica Plain,
Massachusetts, and Hewlett Packard in Sunnyvale, California, where Norman
Packard's cousin, David, presided as chairman of the board. The trick was to
make these calls at noon, in the hope that out-to-lunch executives would return
them at their own expense. Eudaemonic Enterprises, for all they knew, might be
a fast-growing computer company branching out of the Silicon Valley. Sniffing
the possibility of high-volume sales, these executives little suspected that
they were talking on the other end of the line to a naked physicist crazed
over roulette.

I have the feeling that only an idiot troll would say what you just
did, "Marti".

We do *not* do that. We are *not* so unreasonable, and only an
asshole would claim that we are.

Should this need to be said? It's attitude, and being honest and
reasonable, that seperates the good from the bad, in here.

Short of some sort of mental breakdown, *no* honorable person could
become an "Ezekiel", or a "Hadron", or a "DFS", or a "GreyCloud".

I realize that some of them are just so God-damned *stupid* that they
just can't understand the "freedom but not anarchy" thing, and other
principals of Free software and consumer choice. But that is no
excuse to become a fscking jackasshole who *lies* to attack your
betters.

I must have killfiled him a while back, because I don't remember seeing
his posts until recently, when I started a new killfile at my new job. I
should have grabbed my killfile with my other data and brought it with me.

I think I'll just add him now.

Microsoft has been very good for spurring hardware development. The
inefficiencies of Windows have mandated a continuous push by the hardware
makers to boost overall system performance before Microsoft releases some
new software that will eat it all up again.

This might be changing as people are demanding smaller, more portable,
specific purpose devices rather than just more beefy standard desktop
computers. However, for several decades Microsoft was always able to out-
pace Moore's Law.

(This problem isn't actually restricted to MS, but they made an empire
out of it.)

There, how's that for something positive about Microsoft? :-) Look at all
the powerful hardware that we have for such low prices these days.

At this point I might be the only one doing so - my offer to assist him in

Ah, I predicted that the herd would soon question if Marti was Marti. The
quote show my prediction to be correct.

The herd is very predictable.

> asshole would claim that we are.

The herd is unreasonable. Only rarely can any member question any of the
following nonsense:

* MS has secret deals to stop OEMs from selling Linux pre-installed.
* Apple claims to have invented the "rounded rectangle".
* Desktop Linux serves people as well as the competition.
* Apple never innovated anything.
* Samsung has not been copying Apple's products.
* Apple and MS are struggling / dying companies.
* MS has a monopoly on the desktop.
* Snit is anti-choice (as are others they accuse).
* Snit is anti-Linux (as are others they accuse).
* Snit uses sock puppets (as do others they accuse).
* Stallman's views on kids and sexuality are fine.
* Stallman's doubletalk about "Freedom" is coherent and makes sense.
* MS is evil to have blocked Linux years ago, but Google is fine to
block Aliyun OS *now*.
* When an organization moves to a Linux based product it is always a
good move. When they move away from one it is always a bad move.
* Even though some herd members post membership lists of who is in
the herd, all herd members deny the herd even exists.

Nah.... I'm just one of those filthy/fscks. :-))

But aside, it is the real Marti. The herd won't give anyone an inch, so
the clueless clowns deserve everything they've got coming to them.

"worst hideous psychopaths propagandist hideous troll
HATE *propaganda* insane POS jackass"

What Marti is referring to there is my reporting on the
scientific research that proves the World Trade Center was
blown up by explosives and a type of thermite. I did very
little of that research. It was done by hundreds of
scientists and engineers whose websites I have linked to
on mine.

http://cosmicpenguin.com/911/#RESEARCH_SITES

Marti has said that he is a Zionist. He has called me a
"Jihadist" despite the fact that I've said that all three
branches of the religion -- Judaism, "Christianity", Islam
-- have a genocidal psychopath as their deity.

http://www.evilbible.com

Being a Zionist, Marti must believe that "evil Moslems" did
the 9-11 attack, despite all the evidence that's been uncovered
proving that elements of the U.S. government, and possibly the
Israeli government, actually did it.

http://9-11cc.org/high-level-officials-eager-to-spill-the-beans/

Marti also flipped his lid when I posted an article about many
other murderous acts the Zionist Israeli government has done.
He never refuted any of the info in that article, which had
links to sources. He just called me a "Jihadist".

http://cosmicpenguin.com/IsraelInfoCensored.html

Peter Kohlmann responds the same way and tells me to kill myself.
Presumably he is a Zionist too.

I've said more than once that I thought that, if you knew what you
were doing, XP (SP2/3) was a decent OS. Win7 is not bad, either.

Compared to GNU/Linux, they are both toy-caliber, but they generally
get the job done. Just plan for the occasional re-install.

My problem with M$ is mostly their evil, monopolizing "business
tactics".

If there was real choice in the market, I'd pay no more attention to
them that I would any other mediocre product that I might pass-by,
when I shop.

Right. You just spew nonsense into public forums and then whine about being
"attacked" by "psychopaths" when it is noted that your claims make
absolutely no sense. None. They are utter self-refuting garbage.

* Bilk claims that there was a video showing rebar coated with something
which is assumed to be explosives (but Bilk does not say how anyone
knows this). The only "evidence" he offers is the welders had to have
some sort of special security clearance - but how would even this be
seen on a video? He never explains that either - nor what the
clearance was or who authorized it. Anyway, Bilk says the video was
held for many years, then shown on a government owned TV network only
to magically disappear from *all* stations and he says secret
government agents visited all libraries and remove them from there
while, coincidently coincidentally, not a single known person happened
to record the show on their VCR. [1] [2] [6] Additionally, Bilk has
not shown a single one of the regular welders he claims complained on
the video saying anything about the incident either before or even
after 9-11.

* Bilk claims people with special security clearances managed the
welding of rebar which was coated with highly flammable explosives.
[2] When questioned about why the sparks would not ignite the highly
flammable explosives coating the rebar, Bulk invented, on the fly,
stories about copper clamps or wet cloths (yes, really, wet cloths!)
[3]. He later said these things were merely "heat-sinking" and failed
to explain how flying sparks managed to not hit any of these highly
flammable explosives. [6] Later he said the sparks were blocked by
"heavy cardboard with aluminum foil" which he had not thought of
before [12] because he finally admitted he had not even seen this
fictional video. [13] Bilk could have just invented a story about how
the explosives were added *after* the rebar was all welded together
(and before concrete was added). That would make a lot more sense than
his fairy tales!

* Later Bilk said the video was produced in 1987. [14] This completely
contradicts many of his claims from the two above bullet points. A
list of some of the problems with Bilk's claims of the video (some
repeated from above):
* No known copies exist in any library.
* No known copies exist in any PBS station.
* No known VCR copies exist.
* No listing of it can be found in any 1990 TV guide.
* No reason why it would be shown on a government network
* No known welder comments in 1969 as the towers were made.
* No known welder comments when the show was broadcast in 1990.
* No known welder comments after 9-11.
* No people related to these welders can be found speaking up.
* No explanation for why you changed your story about it's "series"
* No comment in the video about explosives you say it proves.
* No agency has been named which authorized special clearances.
* No name of any producer has been given.
* No name of anyone working on this video has been given.
* No reason given why explosives were not added after the welding
* Bilk has admitted not even he saw the video yet insists it is real.

* Bilk claims other were saying it was compressed air that ejected tons
of steel from the Twin Towers, a completely bogus story Bilk
fabricated. At first he denied he even made this claim until I showed
him the many posts where he did - and quoted his own words back to
him. [4] His comments show he does not understand even the basics of
what knowledgeable people say actually happened to the Towers.

* Bilk has no evidence of some unknown force which would have prevented
steel from being ejected from the pancaking towers without the added
force of explosives. Nor can he explain how explosives would break
this unknown force where tons upon tons of falling building would not.
No such force has ever been described by physics. Yet Bilk continues
to insist only explosives could explain the forces needed to eject the
material seen in videos. [5] Bilk claims this is a lie because he has
never named the unnamed force [6], which *supports* the comments he is
trying to refute. Very funny!

* Bilk changes his story *in the same post* and claims that the
flammable material on the rebar exploded on 9-11 but also says he does
not recall if he was told it did or did not.[11] Bilk is clearly just
making things up as he goes! When faced with this Bilk claimed he was
talking about different rebar, but only the rebar from that post was
being discussed.

* Bilk claims detonators were brought into the Towers shortly before the
attack, but he fails to account for how this would be possible with
the heightened security, why nobody saw this, or why there is no video
of this. He also does not explain how these detonators survived the
fires and other extremes after the planes hit the towers, nor does he
explain why the detonators were able to set off the explosives but the
concussion force from the planes ramming into the building did not set
them off. All sorts of unnamed forces must be assumed for his story to
make any sense at all.

* Bilk has not refuted the alternate and equally reasonable idea that
the buildings were brought down by Underground Marshmallow People. He
responds to this claim worse than others respond to his claims - yet
whines others are not being respectful to his claims. He proves he is
a hypocrite. [7]

* Bilk claims that to merely quote Stallman is to "attack" him make no
sense. [8] Stallman's comments are an attack on decency and against
children.

* Bilk claims that to quote him is to lie about him [9] - a claim that is
clearly dishonest. He cannot explain why that would be so, but he
hates how his own words have shown his ignorance so he just lashes out
with some of the most vile attacks to ever be posted to COLA.

* Bilk claims that I and others are paid to post to COLA [10] - a claim
that is utter nonsense... and even Bilk admitted he would need
financial records to fully support his fairy tails and admits he has
no such records. He "evidence" is that people disagree with him and
the "advocates" and find amusement in watching them try to back their
cult-like BS and other nonsense.

The following is in no way a complete list... just examples of the things I
note, above. And, remember, Bilk has not refuted a single one of the above
bulleted points:

At one point Bilk complained about calling his ideas magical. So I asked him
the following questions. He never was able to answer any of them:

How is it not "magical" that this video disappeared from all TV
stations, libraries, and even home VCR collections?

How is it not "magical" that you did not even see this video but
know it showed not just a coating on rebar, not just a flammable
coating on rebar, but an *explosive* coating on rebar?

How is it not "magical" that this one set of buildings are the only
buildings in the world where such explosives have ever been put in
as the building was erected, at least that anyone can find?

How it is not "magical" that the coatings were embedded in concrete
yet people could discretely attach detonators to the explosives
throughout the building?

How is it not "magical" that none of the workers who you say
complained about losing this job never came forward any time before
or even after 9-11 to speak up about the events?

How is it not "magical" that a video was able to show some special
"security clearance"... one you have never named as far as I know.

How is it not "magical" that not a single spark hit any of this
rebar coated with highly flammable materials

How is it not "magical" that this video was not shown for many years
and then shown on a *government* owned network of stations?

How is it not "magical" that this video was first, according to you,
just one of series and was the only one missing, and yet the name of
the series cannot be known and none of the other videos can be
found... and only when this was pointed out did you decide there was
no such series?

The only way Bilk's ideas can be taken even slightly seriously is if one
believes in *magic*.

Agent is most likely very good. However, chrisv is using a certain
version only made for windows. Yet he will demonize anyone with any
praise of windows or any fault finding in linux. Worse, he acts like a
marxist that will not debate civilly but starts in on the name calling,
which marxists will do because that is how they are trained to handle a
situation. Never really saw him advocate linux, just fights with people.

I say use what works best for you and, if you want to be knowledgeable in
the tech world, use a verity of OSs and programs. That is why I use Linux,
Windows, and OS X... and, for example, with word processing use LibreOffice,
MS Office, Pages, and more.

Nonsense. You're just another Lemming troll. Win8 is another Vista that bogs
down machines and is prone to send people fleeing to an alternative. That's once
you get past picking up the pieces of your user experience.

Ubuntu is also the still the most popular distro by a pretty wide margin.

So, "Marti" thinks that because (in *his* opinion) M$ "Windows 8 kicks the
*shit* out of Ubuntu 13.04 crapware", there aren't any *other* GNU/Linux
distros he could have changed to? Indeed many Ubuntu users have now moved
to Mint because they didn't like what Ubuntu had done, & some have
moved to Debian.....so the "12 years of *honest* GNU/Linux advocacy" *have*
been forgotten, by *him*.

AFAIC "Marti" is quite welcome to use his M$ Tiles8, but if he wants to
sing its praises, he can shove off to a windoze group.

Exactly what I was thinking - nothing but asshole behavior.

It's like he's had a Hadronectomy.

...and some (eg, Marti), because they've eaten enough flavors of
penguin poop to not want yet another, have even decided to move to
Windows.

Or the advocacy wasn't as "*honest*" as it had been claimed to have
been, and he has simply decided to stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

Sorry, but the COLA Charter specficially calls for discussions of
Linux **in comparison** to other operating systems, and Windows
certainly qualifies as an OS.

The truth is that what you don't like about him making such
comparisons is because Linux doesn't always come out smelling like a
rose. All too often, it ends up smelling like the banal penguin
rookery from whence it was hatched.

The observation that you have a high tolerance for bullshit does not
mean that everyone else must also be such maschoistic gluttons for
punishment.

Well stated. I was in the same position as Marti had been in. Since I
was formally trained in VMS years ago, another VMSer should me how the
latest windows os was similar in many ways at the API level. Then I
remembered that VMS head architect was David Cutler... the one that MS
had hired to rewrite their OS. So a lot of VMS shows its roots from
time to time. Plus the fact that MS os is written by professionals and
not by volunteers that can't be held accountable.

You don't even have to go that far. You can just install an alternate desktop.

Although those "evil alternative distros" automate that for you so you don't
have to be bothered. I think under any other set of circumstances the Fanboys
and Lemmings would be hailing that king of automation.

I wouldn't do that with Ubuntu.
Even with Kubuntu (for example) which comes with KDE as desktop, the
integration of KDE into the system isn't as good as with other distros
If you want to run a KDE centric system, OpenSuse would be a good choice.
Also Fedora does a decent job of integrating KDE
Ubuntu does not, in my opinion

Well, it is actually extremely easy (even with Ubuntu) to set it up with an
alternate desktop. Just the "finetuning" (the integration) has to be done
manually to a greater extent than with other distros.

Wow. Remember a few years ago when I started speaking of how a system should
work as a system. What an infandous claim! I was told this was not how the
open source world worked... that clearly I wanted desktop Linux to be like
OS X. RonB freaked out... my complaints of how systems failed to work as
systems showed, in his eyes, unbelievable ignorance... even though he proved
himself ignorant of his own favored distro. Heck, even recently TomB has
tried to convince me that desktop Linux systems should not be seen as
systems (yeah, that makes sense... let's not think of these systems as
systems so we can better excuse their obvious challenges!).

But here we have Peter Köhlmann speaking of the importance of having things
be integrated into the system. The *system*.

He continually whines and cries and attacks and lashes out with all sorts of
nonsense about how wrong and ignorant he thinks I am ... all the while
showing signs that he is, in fact, learning from what I have been saying
with my Linux / open source advocacy in COLA. This is from the same guy
(Peter) who could not fathom why having inconsistent copy and paste behavior
in Ubuntu was a problem. Now he is getting it.

Good to see, Peter: even though you will not admit I have helped expand your
understanding of desktop Linux and desktop computing in general, you *are*
learning. Very good to see indeed!

Curious: in what way does it not. I have used Kubuntu and PCLOS and found
them both to be good KDE distros, but I tend to use Ubuntu so there may be
things I have missed. Almost surely there are.

So what examples are you thinking of. Maybe you can return the favor and
actually offer some information to educate me. I would be thankful and
appreciate.

Just installed OpenSuse 12.3 on a desktop machine. A little trouble getting
the network set up properly, mainly because I thought I knew it all :-)

Tried Thunderbird, it lets me connect to my uni IMAP account. So does KMail,
but the Kubuntu version I have on the laptop still has the old bug where it
deletes message bodies from the server.

I LIKE OpenSuse - will probably switch on the laptop, too.

Nah. I'll stick with KDE 4.x - works for me™ :-)
