Now Klaus Schadenfreude on the other end of the line doesn't matter. All that matters is Snit Glasser gets to deliver the punchline. So how to respond? Don't reply to the post. Reason isn't part of ruse and never can be. Being autonomous as it is, the listserv concept will never go away but it'll never be what it once was.

In most, if not all, cases it's probably so they can provide a better service for all users (by keeping track of advert servers to block, for example), but of course the scaredy-cat conspiracy-nutter Americans are all jumping up and down in horror, and claiming the sky is falling, yet again. :-\

All that matters is that Jonas Eklundh gets to express his automated call and then hang up and giggle about it. The fact that Klaus Schadenfreude is an innocent patsy on the other end of the phone is his motivation. Perhaps you use it wrong. Do you not understand the use of encryption? Trinity is definitely my second favorite DE and the only one I suggest to Windows morons. Primary interface is GNOME, though. Being able to do what Klaus Schadenfreude does is all you require after transitioning.

That means he makes up excuse after excuse after excuse for Apple behavior. I was the first one to report this (days ago) to the mac groups: EnGadget: Popular Mac app steals users' history & sends it to China <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.sys.mac.apps/IYoKdcFnsGA> In this case, yet again, Your Name gets the facts wrong. The problem isn't what the app does. The problem is that the app violate's Apple's own rules. Those rules are what Apple Marketing touts to make customers *feel* safe! Worse, the problem was reported to Apple more than a month ago! And the app was still (at the time of my post) not revoked by Apple. Since the primary reason people pay more for Apple products (IMHO), is that they want Apple Marketing to make them *feel* safe, it was strange that the referenced article that broke the news concluded, verbatim: "Wardle points out the app is in violation of Apple's App Store Rules & Guidelines. But though he notified Apple of the issue a month ago, it's still available on the App Store, which is troubling to say the least." In summary, while the well-known Apple Apologist Your Name constantly makes up childishly inane excuses for Apple behavior (as do all the Apple Apologists), if the Apple consumer's primary concern is for Apple Marketing to make them *feel* safe (even though they're not actually safe since the weak links of all consumer computer operating systems is the same), then Apple yet again failed their loyal customers by not revoking an app that they *knew* violated their own guidelines. I only speak fact. *Such facts don't fit into the Apple Apologists' imaginary belief system.*

Well... like I said, I know the flooder is Jeremy, who is a Automator user but I don't know if it could be used to flood so much. Who *doesn't* know that this kind of bunk is Jeremy's approach, not the modus operandi of Jonas Eklundh? It's all just nonsense... the flooding, the sock puppets, the writing of incomprehensible idiocy, the outbursts... the false bravado and willingness to show how ashamed he is over being banned from the playground for crapping in it again... just what Jeremy does. I won't ask Jeremy how any part of Jonas Eklundh's body tastes no matter how frequently Jeremy smooches it. Xfce is perhaps my second favorite DE and the only one I recommend to Mac morons. Primary interface is MATE, though. Instant familiarity to anybody who has used Windows is all you require after dealing with Tmux. I suspect we have two different notions about Jeremy. Given how regularly it is clear that Jeremy's post is some twist of an observation Jonas Eklundh wrote which had been a beating on Jeremy for something he did which was daffy/false/etc... its clearly a daily demonstration of Jeremy's unending distress for having been so regularly pwned. -- This Trick Gets Women Hot For You! http://jeff-relf.me/Cola_Regs.HTM Jonas Eklundh Communication AB

There was nothing inherently wrong with the "puck" mouse as such, other than some people apparently being too stupid to know which way was "up", despite a cable coming out of the top of it and a physical, visible button ... probably the same people who complain about USB socket and cables only going in one way because they're too damn lazy to simply turn the plug over. :-\ There have certainly been worse mice from Apple and other makers. The silly "squeeze me" button on the later Apple mouse was a much sillier idea and a complete pain in the backside - I always switched that off on every Mac I set-up for people. Apple's Magic Mouse can also be a nuisance since you can't rest your fingers on it without it thinking you are making touch gestures (another "feature" to always turn off).

And having cables you can put in either way is a better approach. > There have certainly been worse mice from Apple and other makers.

They have not made a decent mouse in a long, long time. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>

Here is a list of names Jonas Eklundh has admitted he attributes to Chris Ahlstrom "Cactus Pete", "Donald", "Donald Miller", "Horace McSwain", "Hymen", "meat", "Mike Weaver", "Modena IV Drid", "Omar Murad Asfour", "Rhino Plastee", "Soapy", "SopwithCamel", "Sunny Day", "Takuya Saitoh", "The Letter Q", "tmelmosfire", "zevon". All total lies, of course. But when the stats were run, it turns out beyond any doubt, Chris Ahlstrom was far more "obsessive" than anybody else. What did Chris Ahlstrom have to say about this miraculous, years long string of oddities? Most of the time he would try to push the reader to trust they're real people who just happened to have an extremely bizarre entrance into usenet. Doesn't pass the laugh test. He is as incompetent as Chris Ahlstrom. I have known fish who argue better than Chris Ahlstrom does. -- Live on Kickstarter http://www.5z8.info/freeanimalporn.com-start-download_s9j7do_dogporn http://www.5z8.info/lemon-party-redux_v1o7pm_nakedgrandmas.jpg http://comp.os.linux.advocacy.narkive.com/711dskzA/steven-petruzzellis-admits-he-can-not-back-his-claims-about-snit Jonas Eklundh Communication AB
