Bravo, Klaus Schadenfreude, you are now living rent-free inside Melzzz's beady little brain. I've worked in the computer repair industry for 20 years. I have worked with multinational corporations selling to government agencies and police forces. Never, not even once, was I on any occasion directed not to pre-install any OS the customer wanted. We sold AIX, DUnix, OSF/1, and more with Microsoft OSs with no issues. Klaus Schadenfreude and I can destroy beetles with my brain. Honestly, those of you who troll are not able to check Klaus Schadenfreude anymore. -- Puppy Videos! http://tinyurl.com/kmqe66h http://www.5z8.info/lemon-party-redux_v1o7pm_nakedgrandmas.jpg Jonas Eklundh Communication

You do realize that the massive floods ending up in multiple groups started out as a joke about hacking Google. Come on, dude... even you have blocked that lamebrain. Given what he is nobody could condemn anyone for seeking to be rid of his preposterous form of crap. Give an example of a large business that has gained its position by not giving a hoot about its consumers or wares. These posts are clearly at most partially automated, they are made by an overmedicated insomniac with a personal vendetta who has way too much time on his hands (and possibly has other shills helping him). -- Puppy Videos https://youtu.be/BUjnZhKk1Bg https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.os.linux.advocacy/smzXrBhsWf4 Jonas Eklundh Communication AB

At least put on some [not skinny] jeans and loafers, you lowbrow dunce. And don't buy those cheap-ass Walmart shoes - find a Steinmart or a DSW. Here, these Giorgio Brutini's look nice: https://www.steinmart.com/product/vapor+oxford+6792717.do?sortby=ourPicksAscend&refType=&from=fn&selectedOption=100136 or https://www.steinmart.com/product/mullins+cap+toe+oxford+4925053.do?sortby=ourPicksAscend&page=3&refType=&from=fn&selectedOption=100409 or a basic Bass Weejun cordovan loafer https://www.amazon.com/G-H-Bass-Co-Logan-Loafer/dp/B001UQ6ZZ2 > If some employer doesn't approve, I just tell 'em: "See if > you can find somebody better, asshole!"

He recently lost the chairman position at his own company, so I recommend you NOT smoke a blunt at the interview. And above all, don't blurt out your 'Hail Stallman!' frivolity.

Add about $0.10 for transport costs on a post-Panamax freighter and those low retail prices still represent about a 10,000% profit markup for those crooks. Clothing could be very cheap but those over-paid suburban-dwelling, SUV-driving morons will gladly consent to being gouged. Also, it's very difficult to buy clothing on-line because cheap marketing blurbs take precedence over hard specifications (we can thank Carroll and his ilk for that). For example, fabric weight is almost never stated so the buyer can't be sure if a shirt is tough and durable or just a thin rag of cheesecloth -- and most ARE just thin rags of cheesecloth. But the disgusting, over-paid, suburban-dwelling, SUV-driving moron will gladly pay a premium for a thin rag of cheesecloth and hence the prices remain outrageous.

No no. He never agreed to stop flooding. He lied about his trolling and that was that. My view is correct. Always correct. Who knows C, is an IT "master", has hacked Klaus Schadenfreude's account, has passion for this shit and is a huge immature mama's boy who, when he backs himself into a corner, posts demands he be "trusted" even when he's *not* flooding... AND... who struggles to pin everything he is doing on "Klaus Schadenfreude" and has for his whole life? Gee, imagine F. Russell trying to pin his gobbledegook on Klaus Schadenfreude, no one has ever seen that before. Thanks to F. Russell and his 'followers' you now need a go / no-go list. If others start trolling him again I will not be able to stop myself... as that is just my way. I'm referring to real posters here, not drive by loons, who he largely controls. But when the data were collected, it turns out by _that_ criteria, F. Russell was far more "fanatical" than anybody else. Why does F. Russell focus on Klaus Schadenfreude's pride so much? What F. Russell really means: F. Russell's remarkable "troubleshooting skills" distracted him from a plugin he needs that does exist on this application. -- Best CMS Solution of 2017 https://youtu.be/UkAyrfOZaXc http://www.5z8.info/hackwebcam_e9z2tw_friendster-of-sex Jonas Eklundh Communication AB

No, but I'm not ashamed to say that I prefer to buy them on sale - buying long-sleeve shirts in the Spring, and short-sleeve shirts in the Fall, saves a lot of money. Hey, did you know that "Hadron" Quack has claimed that it's immoral for a company to use FOSS in its products, or to make money using FOSS? It's making money "from other people's hard work", so is immoral, you see. Such a "true Linux advocate", "Hadron" was. He really "gets" Free software. -- "I wonder what this hypocrite thinks of Ubuntu or Red Hat or .... <insert hundreds of companies who make money from others peoples work>." - "True Linux advocate" Hadron Quark

I figured there were three possible reasons for that: 1. She had really hairy arms. 2. She had tattoos. 3. She was a cutter. She was only about 17, so it's probably #3. She's not there anymore. Either went off to college or killed herself.

But it's not really cold near the registers. And all the rest of the female cashiers wear short sleeves in the summer.
