Well, what else is new?
Outhouse Distress is what ruined my old computer by allowing a virus to get
through in an e-mail (which it opened automatically).

"It requires a reasonable amount of user intervention, which lowers the

There is a difference between smart computing and stupid computing.
That difference is the human using the computer.
The difference isn't the software and hardware.
It never has been and never will be.
If you want to do something stupid, just exactly how is Microsoft supposed

Oh Hackers....come out and play. (There's a line the AFI should of put in
it's top 100 back Tuesday)
You have to go to a newsgroup controlled by one of these hackers to be
effected. Does MTR qualify?
Now what's a worse way to view MTR; Via google (as is) or Outlook Express?

Reading is FUNdamental. Did I say you didn't own the computer? No. Yes you
own the computer. You do NOT own the software. Ever hear of a EULA or of
the GPL? Of course not. That's "not your job to know". Too bad for you
because it still applies to you, like it or not.

Not like I do, there eh? One of our LOX dewars(170 lbs full) would squish
you like a bug. I regularly throw 10-12 full ones around a week. Never mind
beds, a variety of oxygen tanks, and any number of implements of
destruction that are bulky and fun to move.
So who needs to know a programming language to run an alternate operating
system? I know some general principles of how programming languages run,
that's it. As far as "making" a computer; it takes about 3 hours to go from
parts to an operational machine. Add an hour if yr installing Winblows. It
costs you 1/3 the amount of $ or less, if you don't mind dumpster
diving-amazing what bits you can cop to if you keep yr eyes open.
But then you work hard, and had a hard life, and yadda yadda, and we all owe
you, etc. Bah. For a "prog" and "radical" guy, you sound a whole lot like a
republican. Actually, some republicans seem to be able to exercise more
mental flexibility that you do. There are at least a few of them that can
run linux, which it seems, you can't even manage. You are SO pathetic.

I think I can find 1,000 people within 1 square mile of my apartment who

You could be black, 60 years old, a sharecropper, and living in the Delta.

It's scary how MS software was back in the mid-to-late 90s! When Bill Gates
announced that his company caught the "Internet bug" (...in a euphemistic
sense, not dysphemistic one), it seems the company hastily made software to
capture the emerging market. The initial benefit was "native" Internet
support for most vanilla-versions of Win9X--but the security holes in the
software could easily allow a hacker through. In that sense, I can
absolutely sympathise w/ the stress Outlook Express caused you when it
tinkered w/ your PC.
At a school I once attended, an equally-devastating problem was going on...
Virii would write to floppy-disks from library workstations. It was a
matter of months before (almost) every workstation in the school was
infected w/ the virii. IIRC, all virii were 16-bit applications.
...I fathom how many students brought the infected floppy-disks home, and as
a resuly, hosed their installations of Win 3.1x and Win9X.

But they didn't go to Brossart Catholic High school. Nor did my ventilator
patients, or my oxygen patients, or people who need a variety of medical

Timmy, you personify so many of the characteristics of what is truly
wrong with the USA right now!!! Timmy, you are blessed with luxury that
95% of the world would envy. Yet you complain because things aren't
handed to you. You take no responsibility for your own actions, and
blame everyone else with things don't go precisely your way! You sit
there and whine about how rough you have it, and no else has it as bad
as you! WHAT A CRY BABY YOU ARE!!! GROW UP!!!!
Timmy, you wouldn't know a hard life if it came up and bit you in the
butt!! People with hard lives are struggling to pay their food and
electric bills while working two jobs! They don't have money to afford
computers! Much less internet service! Much less having lots of spare
hours to sit here and post notes!!
Timmy, you don't know how good you have it!!! Quit your 'poor me' pity
fest and go find out what a -REAL- hard life is!

Like it's any better today? It's bad enough that Gates and his boys resort
to lying about it,(http://os.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/06/23/2027229)
because Linux is chewing up the server market. Novell bought SuSE(a decent
distro), and has given Bill the old heave ho; Unisys is chatting up the
folks at Red Hat; and IBM likes liniux, too. The main experience I've had
with XP is that it's getting progressively more inoperable. Win 2K is
officially off the support cycle, and NT Server is too-these being the only
things close to tenable OS's from Redmond. Server 2K3 sales are sluggish,
and who will really want to pay $200+ for a Longhorn upgrade if it comes
out? I've heard that Longhorn may be even worse than XP is now-comments
from beta testers aren't favourable.

I'm starting to feel the pains from debt here as well. With tuition
increasing double digit rates for the past 3 years now, it's really
starting to suck having to pay to go to UK. Up to about $15,000 a year
now, and our latest price tuition increase will increase that by
$500-ish more.

This reminds me of something I heard several times back around 1994. "Why
did Kurt Cobain kill himself? He had all that money..." Money and wealth
do not necessarily buy happiness. Sometimes the demons one faces inside his
own head are far worse than anything imaginable on the outside.

I had been leaving Timmy alone, trying to ignore his notes. But when he

"For those who use this bloated MS software..."
That should look familiar, it's your words from the very first post of this
thread.

Cute... I take your brainstorms as a compliment. That's the price of
intelligence, I guess.
Some free advice, no charge: if you're able to enroll yourself into
post-secondary English courses and apply yourself, perhaps you may master
the structure of the English language too.
...Perhaps my previous response involves a brain capable of abstract
thought? So instead of brainstorming interpretations which may negatively

Hi Tim,
Kudos on your book! My girlfriend and I are fans of your book, and having
read it, we have recommended it to our friends. To make a long story short:
between January and March of next year, my girlfriend and I will be
traveling out of country for vacation. It's plausible we'll stop somewhere
on the East Coast along the way. We're wondering which airport is best, and
if you'd be free for a short lunch or dinner. If you could, that'd be
great! Drop me an e-mail if you'd like. (Sorry this e-mail had to be
broadcasted, but I'm getting a bounce-back from the Hotmail address
associated w/ your Usenet account.)
Cheers,
We support you,
Carl Rogers

Thank you!
I noticed that both of the bad reviews my book received were from people who
never bothered to read it, so I'm glad these bogus reviews failed to reduce
sales of my book.

I've never traveled on a commercial flight, so I don't know. Delta has a
near-monopoly at the Cincinnati airport, so flights to and from Cincinnati
have a jacked-up price. Louisville, Dayton, and other nearby cities might be
much cheaper.

I had to start posting under a Hotmail account because of problems I was
having with a local idiot who had a personal grudge to bear. That account
later got zapped because I dared to use it to post the "wrong" opinions.

I'm just attempting to be funny.

I guess my dry sense of humor doesn't go over well sometimes :(

Sounds great! I'll keep you posted once our dates are somewhat final, and
at which airport we'll land.

Sucks to hear that. Some people always think their interpretation (of
anything) is "best". Sadly, it may take them well into their elder years to
figure out there's more than one way to do things in life. Any prize can be
achieved in life w/ effort, patience and just being yourself. A great quote
I once read at a university campus was "Possibilities, not limitations".
Talk w/ ya later,
Carl

FYI. Here's the situation w/ Tim Brown, and our planned trip to Europe.
From the conversation below, all text which is preceded by ">" is Tim's

I did some research this morning, and discovered cheap flights from San Jose
to Louisville, Kentucky. Plausibly, we could spend one evening there, and
afterwards fly towards our European adventure. What do you think?
Love,
Carl

I don't think there would be many people who would see anything sorry about the life
described on my resume (available from my homepage which you can get to from the URL
below).
I looked at your 'Curriculum Vitae' which you made available a couple of years back
(in the days before you changed from obnoxious to seriously obnoxious and thus KF'd).
99.99% of it can be shortened to one sentence (straight from the horse's mouth):
"That's because it's not my job to learn". Until you figure out that learning is a
part of life, as well as a part of the job, you will continue to find yourself
fighting a world that you know little about.
