Mijnheer Glur,

Is there a good reason why today you are posting under the identity
of "Unknown <dog@gmail.com>" instead of the previous "Avoid9Pdf <Avoid9Pdf@gmail.com>"?

Surely you must agree that common sense suggests that one first
identifies the goal and its requirement and then buys the Ding Dong
which is most suited to achieve that goal instead of just buying a
Ding Dong from the medicine man and trying in vain to get it to do
a job for which is not intended?

No you are not seeing that at all.

You are pestering other people to provide an answer to a problem which
you have artificially created and for a solution which you never
intend to implement.

Standard wintroll tactic. Ask a stupid question  to which the answer is 
'windows' and then complain that no on on the linux group answers 'windows'.

e.g. What is the standard way to let light into a building?

It's OK not to get everything, to sometimes miss a point.

Happens to us all sometimes.  Better to admit it, have a chuckle and move 
on...

It's all in the mind.  The orgasm comes from being part of the mass that 
uses Windows.

One would be hard put to find any version of Windows which would run on
a Pi. It's ARM, for a start, and I cannot imagine Win 8 RT or whatever
it's currently called running off an SD card in 512M of RAM. XP just
about runs comfortably in that.

Chris Glur regularly changes his sender address, presumably so as to 
escape killfile entries.

And he has been doing this repeatedly for several years already, each 
time biting the hands that feed him and criticizing or whining about 
things which he doesn't understand.  And that is exactly /why/ Chris 
Glur resides in so many killfiles.

Eek, I have been rumbled!

So what would one say/write in Afrikaans for "Mijnheer"?

According to Google Translate (which is obviously not perfect)
translating from Dutch "Mijnheer" to Afrikaans gives the same word.

Perhaps, as a mark of respect, he should be addressed as Baas Chris?

And can you blame him for doing that?  ;)

The thing is though, if you look back at the postings from say 10 years
ago in 2003, made under the name of Chris Glur, they were very straight
forward and up front and not of the trolling variety.  And Chris Glur
has made contributions to free software projects in the distant past.

So I am not 100% convinced that Chris Glur is posting with an intent of
trolling although it does *appear* to be of the order of 60%-70% that
that is the case.

But appearance are sometimes deceptive and as they say
"the owls are not what they seem." (And just to avoid giving
any wrong impression I have never watched that TV show except
for the opening credits.)

Of course there is always the possibility of identity theft and there
is a malicious troll who has assumed the identity of Chris Glur for
the purpose of denigrating his name?

Well, it is possible, but the compound vowel "ij" is not normally used 
in Afrikaans and is most commonly substituted by "y", which is 
historically more correct and is pronounced the same way.

In Dutch, one can also say "meneer" instead of "mijnheer", and I presume 
that the word also exists in Afrikaans.  Mind you, I do speak a fair 
amount of Afrikaans, but it is not my native tongue either and so I 
don't know everything either. ;-)

It is a form of nymshifting, and nymshifting in order to elude 
killfilters is trollish behavior.

I am aware of that, yes, even if only because that is what I've seen 
other people state about him.

I don't think it would be his _intent_ to troll, but in the end, that 
/is/ what he's doing.

That is possible.  However, my personal take on this is that Chris Glur 
has some serious personality issues.  Maybe he has not always been like 
this, and maybe there is a sound medical reason for his change in 
behavior and perception.  I don't know.

All I see is the end result, which is that Chris Glur is a dense, 
ungrateful and at times very rude person who repeatedly changes his 
posting identity via throwaway e-mail addresses because he knows he gets 
killfiled.

This is a very astute summary of the OP's posting habits.  I hope that
all regular readers of all four newsgroups will take that into
consideration when posting a response to him.

It seems that Google Translate for Afrikaans is just not up to standard

Erm?  I cannot find anything relevant with Google ZA for the word "durs".
The only meaning which seems to have some connection with "durs" is hard???

Can you explain the meaning then?

sorry. I know how the words sounds, but no one was rude enough to spell 
it out for me on my sojourn there.

Ah google has it. Doos,. Chris Doos.

OK, see if you kiddies can follow this:
 rPi is a minimalist/credit-card-sized computer;
 if you were a racing-cycle enthusiast you'd be interested in some
    extreme criteria, which the normal obsese Californian would consider
    'you never intend to implement';
 AFAIK the need to login, is the bottleneck, which prevents the rpi from
  being used without a keyboard. Once I've logged in, I can design a setup
   to run via mouse only.
 Obviously there are MANY situations where some people would want to just
 have a rPi, mouse, mini-PSU in their pocket, and be just able to plug the
  RCA wire into the PAL-TV and fly.

BTW do you kiddies realise that going-in-foot-ball-herds, is what prevents
you from being able to think out of the box? Which is why the 
herd-mentality promoted by FB/twitter is going to give bad results for the
future.

And since, like pre-adolescent girlies, you are all obsesed with names,
and personalities, why don't you move to the celebrities and social fora
and leave this for the scientists & engineers.

Well yes, any fule kno that.

You mean like Lance Armstrong?

Yes you are correct -- 61,4% of Californians are obese according to

   <http://www.belly-fat-health-news.com/obesity-in-California.html>

> would consider 'you never intend to implement';

How many obese Californians have bought a rPi?

Are you here to continue in your "as far as I know" ignorance,
or do you want to learn?

> the need to login is the bottleneck

No it is not.

With most display managers it is very easy to configure them to use
an autologin mode to a predefined userid, so there is no need to
enter any password.

If you want autologin to a particular account on a virtual console
TTY, this is also simple to achieve by replacing the getty with mingetty
and configuring it for autologin.

See the details at

  <http://linux.koolsolutions.COM/2009/04/30/autologin-linux-console-mode/>


But in another thread on the same topic in comp.os.linux.misc and
comp.os.linux.hardware, John Hasler has provided you with an even
simpler rPi specific method way of doing this without having to
install a different getty, as explained at

    <http://elinux.ORG/RPi_Debian_Auto_Login>

But do you honestly want an answer to your question, or now having
been presented with an answer, are you going to resort to an
irrational outburst of having to get a new Ding Dong?

> which prevents the rpi from being used without a keyboard.

No it does not.

People have been using rPi as a media center with XBMC with autologin
and no keyboard and no mouse for some time now, details at

   <http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Raspberry_Pi>

   <http://lifehacker.com/5929913/build-a-xbmc-media-center-with-a-35-raspberry-pi>

   A remote control:

   I you don't want to use a mouse and keyboard to control
   your media center once its set up, you'll need a remote. 

UNQUOTE

But now when faced with real life accomplishments of other people doing
what you claim you are trying to do, are you now going to ignore the
facts and repost the same questions again in a slightly different form
in other newsgroups in a few days to a week's time?

Yes, but herds of warthogs and wildebeest are even worse though.
