It's obvious that this challenge was carefully crafted to focus on Linux's weak points and at the same time showcase OSX's strong points. Who cares? The same can be done for Linux vs OSX or Windows or z/OS or OS/400 or any system. And even if you take the time to script it out the antagonist will move the goal post, focus on some minor point and keep the spider web growing as the discussion finally ends up like a hydra where as soon as you cut off one head by disproving one of his points, three other heads grow back in it's place. It will become a never ending discussion until the point where you decide to ignore his idiocy and tricks at which point he will probably claim you lost the challenge. Unless your goal is to have some fun lighting him up and watching him squeal like a stuck pig I don't see anything positive coming from it. By the way, what is this obsession with recopies? Is this guy a cook, chef or something similar? -- Meat Why do they call you Meat? Is it because you are so big? Yep. You catch em and I'll stretch em. My college nickname was "The Stretch-Her"

I certainly am not going to say OS X is the best at all things! We can learn about the pros and cons of different systems and learn how different people approach problems. Would be a great way to learn and advocate. > And even if you take the time to script it out the antagonist will move > the goal post, focus on some minor point and keep the spider web growing > as the discussion finally ends up like a hydra where as soon as you cut > off one head by disproving one of his points, three other heads grow back > in it's place.

Owl did some of that by changing it to work with local files... but overall the task comparison went well! > Unless your goal is to have some fun lighting him up and watching him > squeal like a stuck pig I don't see anything positive coming from it. > > By the way, what is this obsession with recopies? Is this guy a cook, > chef or something similar? I admit I never quite got the purpose of Owl's task... but whatever. It was good to see how different systems were used and different people think through a problem. I have no complaints with him picking a task I thought was a bit odd. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

The original challenge was Owl's. Without digging up the original post, he set up the challenge to get all recipes from the home page of the website and convert them to PDFs. I merely accepted that "task" or challenge or whatever. So when you speak of the person making the challenge and their focus on recipes or whatever, it is Owl you are talking about. But I have no problem with the task... it was completely fair in my view.

Mine not only worked, but the PDF had selectable text and allowed me to do quick searches on ingredients and the like... something Owl was never able to do on Linux. Worked so well that he and Peter Köhlmann insisted it must have been faked. I have been posting that exact text for some time. Not sure why you would suddenly try to disagree now. Your task was based on greater scripting and you thought I would find it harder - you even accused me of cheating when I did it so quickly and well. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

And while you're at it, who said this *after* my statement that you got confused over... and I clarified it for you: "While I may not fully agree with you in your above statements, I do believe we share similar ideas about the rights of all people - gay, straight, black, white, green, blue, or plaid." Gee, it's the same guy who wrote this: "Once someone clarifies their views it should be accepted" LOL!

I see I forgot the link... of course you'll want "proof" that, like I said above, even *after* you started your initial 'Steve is a bigot' BS, you then stated that you "believe we share similar ideas about the rights of all people - gay, straight, black, white, green, blue, or plaid". <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/UM54CpmgYDg/ftEoZiWe66EJ> This is about 15 times you've asked for this particular piece of egg on your face now, isn't it? Yeah, I think that's about right ;)

I'm told that one of the newsgroups he frequents (or used to frequent) was one for mental health. He may actually have real, serious issues.
