Here are the PDFs that are in contention:

<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandmancheck-html.pdf>
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandmancheck-css.pdf>

And where I provided *every* single URL needed to verify them:

<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/msg/f0420f6675f60cbd>

Can anyone find a single example where I am wrong... one single example from
before the date of the PDFs where sandman.net had CSS or HTML that
validates?

The answer, of course, is: no.

Not a single one.

Since nobody can the claim was made that since the EXIF data shows Adobe
products then it must be a "forgery"... even if the data is 100% accurate
and thus proves Sandman is a liar. So here is where I provide a movie
proving that the EXIF data of the PDF can contain Adobe references that are
incorrect:

<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/fmpro-pdf.mov>

And where I show, with links, where Sandman changed his story about his CSS
claims:

<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/msg/55059e10b247c5c4>

Steve Carroll, Tim Adams, Wally, Sandman, Steve Mackay, Alan Baker, -hh and
Peter Köhlmann are all lying when they claim I forged the PDF with the data
that proves Sandman to be a liar. This is not a matter of opinion; if the
PDF data was forged it would be trivial to show where my data was
inaccurate.

And yet they will not find a single example. Not one. This is 100%
predictable.

So there we have it: I have provided absolute proof of my claims (unless you
think I have managed to have the WayBackMachine someone lie for me or I have
hacked them somehow).

Steve Carroll is a liar
Tim Adams is a liar
Wally is a liar
Sandman is a liar
Steve Mackay is a liar
Alan Baker is a liar
-hh is a liar
Peter Köhlmann is a liar

Proved.

You - again - made an accusation against me.

I proved you wrong.

And you snipped.

Oh well... not even you are going to pretend you have any evidence contrary
to mine. Your accusation was dishonest.

Once again, though, you have succeeded in making the debate personal and
having nothing to do with technology... and you are doing so to run from the
discussion we recently had where you showed you did not know the difference
between a users IP and the IP of a users web host or email provider.

That was funny. Surely more amusing than just your joining of Sandman in
making silly accusations.

You have brought a *CSMA* troll circus ( *your* troll circus, Michael
Glasser ) which is *two* *years* old into COLA.
Hardly constituting "responding to those who were lying about me"

What you are doing is trying to resurrect a old thread where you got slapped
left, right and all around because you are simply a forger and an
incredibly dishonest lying twit

And you bring it into COLA, although not a single person of cola has
participated in the original threads (it has to be noted that you
obviously, as some googling revealed, have tried to install yet another
Snot circus in CSMA *several* *times* with the exact same bullshit in the
past). And you always got slapped with your incredible dishonest
fuckwittery

> I have proved that they are lying.

What you have proved beyond any doubt is that you are lying. That you are
forging "evidence" and purposefully misrepresent what people say. That you
are purposefully putting words in peoples mouth and then later troll with
your dishonesty

Yes, you have proved that time and again

[rest snipped]

Personally, I'd be less interested about Snit's lies or
truth, and more interested regarding the lies or truth
about deltas and/or inconsistencies and/or good things
regarding the GUI environments implemented by KDE, Gnome,
Motif, Windows, OSX, and others, or about Linux-based
applications, POSIX-based applications ported to Linux
(most of the apps on a distro are of this form), or even
internals in the Linux kernel itself -- one such, if I'm
not mistaken, was the complete replacement of the Linux
virtual memory manager, another might be modifications to
the scheduler.

One can also discuss problems with Linux, though at this
point I can only wave my hands in the general direction
of the video handling system, or perhaps at the ATi DRI
drivers, which in 1.3 were stable if buggy, but in 1.4 have
become somewhat unstable. They are not unusable but I am
puzzled as to the change in X that is giving me problems
on my nx9010 laptop.

If one wishes to discuss OSX stuff, feel free to do so,
but I for one do not know quite as much about such except
that there's a Mach kernel and a general BSD utility set,
plus such things as Aqua, X, and Carbon. I do know that
OSX's Aqua does *not* sit on X, unlike KDE and Gnome on
Linux; X runs as a separate environment though one hopes
at least for integration similar to Cygnus/X into Aqua's
window management code.

Hardly seamless integration, but not unworkable.

Language such as "7's" hardly facilitates any such debate,
though it is possible Snit is doing something not to his
liking, and it is very clear "7" finds Microsoft doing
things not at all to *our* liking, especially where media
is involved. I'd frankly have to research the matter,
and I'm not sure I really care either way; I find Snit's
discourse somewhat interesting, but one does have to sift.
7's discourse is occasionally interesting if one mentally
edits out such ad hom [ad soft?] references as "Pista" or
"Fista" and "Windoze" and possibly "Microslop".

As for Snit's (or anyone else's!) sexual preferences and
general intelligence -- those are best left elsewhere.

As for two-year-old threads and circuses -- might be
interesting but I'm not about to dig through two years
of posts without at least a starting point.

You lied about me forging a PDF. I posted proof that the PDF's data was
100% accurate. Now you whine that I proved you to be a liar.

Get over it.

You are mad that I pointed out your ignorance of IP info.

Snit, you have a comprehension problem. See, what's being disputed is the

Exactly. I don't even know what this fucking PDF is about, nor

I used the term "sabbatical" after reading that he would be reducing
the quantity of his posts while he went back work, or something.

Nor can I think of a reason why you should! Nor Peter! But he made a

only one. The list, at least, includes Steve Carroll, Tim Adams, Wally,
Sandman, Steve Mackay, Alan Baker, -hh and Peter Köhlmann. And yet, with

Well, it is utter BS that one would be in a position to show where so many
folks are openly lying - you and others should make it known that you will
not accept such lies and that you will publicly denounce those who are shown
so clearly to be lying. That is if you pay attention at all to this
silliness... which for some bizarre reason you are!

You can "prove" that no one has disproved your "proof"? Again, your
assertion that no one has done so is even *less* convincing than your
claim that some PDF "proves" whatever point you're trying to make
precisely because I'm familiar with your MO.

That is, you're a dumb-ass who would claim that that something
is proved when it's not, and who would ignore counter-examples
disproving your contention.

I don't know what this *ages old* thread is about, but I know

I have no idea what all the fuss is about, but the

in the first URL above:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://web.archive.org/web/20060519191417/http://www.sandman.net/

and gets 84 errors and 128 warnings. It does not appear
that web.archive.org introduces any extra markup, either.

Many of the errors are of the /> form (illegal in an
HTML document; that's only valid in XML/XHTML), or because of
a misuse of the ampersand. There are a few missing
and mismatched tags. One interesting one is align='absmiddle' in
an <img> tag; another one is align='no'.

If one goes to www.sandman.net directly instead:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.sandman.net/

one still gets a remarkable number of errors -- 112, with
no warnings. The errors are now quite different; a lot
of them indicate a duplicate specification of "BORDER",
for instance.

The HTML source suggests something called "Atlas Content
Management System 3.1"; that has not changed between the
two. The url 'jonas.eklundh.com' appears to point to an
HTML resume (well, www.sandman.net also appears to be a bit
of an HTML resume), with a girl touching the user's screen
from "within" the monitor, advertising "Dynamic Touch".
His page also does not validate, with 6 errors, all
relating to "duplicate specification of attribute BORDER".

http://apexweb.co.uk/content_management_systems.htm
suggests a rather naive content management system.

I'm not about to fiddle with the CSS.

Unfortunately, 'may not appear' may not be enough.

The problem is that the Wayback does introduce extra code.
For example, back in April, I found this snippet:

// FILE ARCHIVED ON 20020526022439 AND RETRIEVED FROM THE
// INTERNET ARCHIVE ON 20080417210705.
// JAVASCRIPT APPENDED BY WAYBACK MACHINE, COPYRIGHT INTERNET
ARCHIVE.
// ALL OTHER CONTENT MAY ALSO BE PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT (17 U.S.C.
// SECTION 108(a)(3)).

And while that's a comment section, it also specifically mentions that
Javascripting has been altered. Plus there's the slippery slope
question of "and who knows what else?"

Granted, this doesn't alleviate obvious code issues, but there's
another issue there: we also have to be aware that it is potentially
highly unfair to take an old historical page and run it through a
checker from a different revision date, as the code checkers have
invariably undergone revisions as well.

My personal experience with validators has included pages that
validated just fine, but then at a later date came up with errors,
despite the fact that I had not touched the page and I was using the
same validator. YMMV, but I don't think that it was Magic Pixie Dust
at work: I suspect that changes in the 'transitional' standard were
implemented without appropriately incrementing the revision
counter...a revision control issue.

Early this year, I had a validation check that just went the other
way: I was using iWeb and was getting validation errors but before I
could update the pages, I ran the validator again later (April) and
now it then reported everything as clean. Thanks, but obviously,
someone changed something and once again, it wasn't on my end.

With the fundamental groundwork thus flawed, debate over if the PDF
was forged is moot.

There is no reason to think there is *anything* else other than what the
WayBackMachine says - and certainly not anything regarding *any* of the
errors found in Sandman's CSS and HTML.

> Granted, this doesn't alleviate obvious code issues

Which is the topic. Sandman had "obvious code issues" in regards to his
HTML and his CSS. He not only denied his CSS issues (after changing his
story on it repeatedly) he also openly claimed I was lying to point out his
"obvious code issues". The WayBackMachine was my tool - or one of my tools,
really - to prove that his accusation was dishonest. He then claimed that
the PDF with that data was "forged" so I provided links to *every* link
needed to verify it.

The topic, though, is "obvious code issues". If you think any of those
issues listed in the PDF / WayBackMachine are not relevant then show it.
Also keep in mind that the most relevant entries in the WayBackMachine
archive were, at the time, very recent (up to within two weeks of the date
in question). The Google cache *also* showed the same thing at the time -
as quoted by me at the time and not, then, denied by Sandman. Once the
cache was updated he then changed his tune and called me a liar on that.

Show examples of this... and explain why they apply with the relevant data.

What were the errors?

> was forged is moot.

Nope. Again: the data is preserved and the errors are listed - and you have
not a single example of your theoretical chance that the CSS might have
validated but later did not. It also does not explain why so shortly after
I noted Sandman's lack of CSS validation that the site started to validate -
as noted by even Tim Adams (someone who hardly would lie for my *benefit*).

The facts are clear and irrefutable: Sandman had CSS that did not validate
and he not only denied it but piled his lies higher and higher as his ego
got in the way.

And silly people brought up this dead issue and again accused me of forging
the PDF... and I responded by proving my case. Again.

It is an easy case to prove.

it is interesting that michael glasser, aka prescott computer guy totally
ignored the bit that the way back machine does appear to introduce errors when
it was pointed out to him a long time ago. He also ignored the simple fact that
Sandmans site DID validate just fine when others, myself included, checked it
using w3.org/.
It's also amusing that michack glasser has been totally unable to deal with
reality when it was pointed out that his pdf file had illustrator (plus other
program) tags in it while he claimed he used filemaker pro. He also can't seem
to understand that many people, knowing his history of forging pdf files never
bothered to read the one he keep talking about. When you have a history, like
michael glasser does, of being a forger, liar and more, why waste your time?

One could only wish for it to be so. Unfortunately, documentation is
a very big issue and for those with real life experience, it is very
well known that it is a constantly recurring. In computer
programming, it is known to be so particularly problematic such that
there's even been work to try to make it impossible for a programmer
to ever avoid doing his required documentation:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming>

If you had been in the Industry through Y2K, you might have found just
how huge the documentation shortfalls are at some institutions ... do
you really think that COBOL is being used because they like it? Or is
it because their backend has been running with 30+ years worth of
poorly documented revisions and the status quo is that they've
literally lost track of everything that it does, so they dare not
touch it?

On topic, the same issue exists in the code for Windows, too.


>  He then claimed that

Yet you knowingly used a source that was known to not be the original,
and you also have since acknowledged that that source is known to not
be a 100% faithful copy of the original.

This process is fundamentally and fatally and irrevocably flawed.

End of story.

FYI, do keep in mind that 'Forgery' is the process of making or
adapting objects and/or documents with the intent to deceive.
Keywords here include "process".

What you have admitted to doing was to "adapt" a source of known to be
altered, non-original documents. As such, it doesn't matter if you
have a "TRUE COPY" (eg, your PDFs) since they were made from this
known-altered copy of the original: the PDFs are still represent a
forgery, just not necessarily at the PDF creation step itself.

And all you've really said is: "You can't prove that the forgery was
in Step#3".


Start with a counterfeit of a $10 bill and make a "True" photocopy of
it. Same thing.

And holistically, you're responsible for the entire process...not just
one little piece.
