Yes, I thought so too, but there are some subtle differences in -
visible and 'invisible' - behaviour/information, this nym was in use at
the same time as 'Ragnusen Ultred' (yes, he did that before, but not of
late) and I was on Mr. EMAK's 'troll'-list.

Frank Slootweg, the troll,

*You are the mindless troll* and I will post a separate thread asking why.
You think you're a genius, but all you know is nothing but what is obvious.

The fact you're actually as dumb as they come is proven in each post.

To wit: Not a single post from you ever adds on-topic value.
Not one.

*Hence, all you, Frank Slootweg, can do is troll*

This fact is indicative the moment that you literally lamented that we made
factual progress on this thread, in that we outlined this list.

1. Windows Store apps
2. Cortana searches
3. DirectX (for gaming)
4. Access 2TB of RAM (instead of 512GB, 192GB, & 128GB previously)
5. HiDPI scale text & GUI to 200% (not just 150% previously)
6. Full-screen console mode ?
7. Timeline (as of April 2018 release)
8. Linux Bash shell
9. ?
10. ?

Wolf,

You're an utter moron, just like the trolls Frank Slootweg & Frank Burns.

You think you're a genius for noticing the patently obvious.
Everyone else knew but you because it's glaringly obvious.

Why is it glaringly obvious?
Because it's not hidden - you fool.

You're such a moron that you claim that you "figured it out".
What a genius you are for figuring out what is patently obvious.

You, Wolf K, Frank Slootweg, and Andy Burns prove one thing in every post.
None of you can add a single iota of on-topic technical value to any topic!

You're all utter unfathomably stupid morons which you prove in every post.
You can't add a single iota of on-topic technical value to *any* thread.

Never.
You're *that* stupid, Wolf K.

And that's sad.
It's sad that people are as dumb as you are, who think they're geniuses.

I've explained a thousand times

Only morons, like you, Wolf K, don't understand privacy.
Only morons, like you, Wolf K, don't understand Q&A questions.

And that's a fact.

Back on topic, even though you, Wolf K, and Andy Burns, and Frank Slootweg
are so stupid that all you can do is post off-topic trolls, this is the
question, and, to date, this is the answer to that question that we agree
upon.

HINT: Wolf K, Andy Burns, and Frank Slootweg the troll ... do you have ANY
on-topic technical knowledge whatsoever?

None?
Really?

Nothing?
There's nothing whatsoever technical in your head?

.... sheesh... no wonder all you can do is troll.

To wit... this is the on-topic technical Q&A... & current status:

Q: What can you do on Windows 10 that you can't do on Win XP or Win 7?
A: The following...
1. Windows Store apps
2. Cortana searches

Correction, the trolls who can't possible ever add even a single iota of

1. Frank Slootweg the troll,
2. Andy Burns,
3. Wolf K.

The topic at hand that these well-known trolls can't possibly add any

I'm not willing to expend any effort on your hypothetical "space
filling" questions, you seem to think you are doing the groups some good
by keeping them ticking over with a stream of invented questions, in
fact you just **** people off, it has a chilling effect where people
probably resist answering a question from a new face in case it's only
you with yet another nym.

You claim your nym-shifting is due to constant wiping of your devices
for privacy reasons, yet you now seem to keep several old nyms on the
backburner ready to join the debate. If you stuck to a single nym then
those that you annoy could simply disregard you, and not keep calling
you out!

*When you, Andy Burns, act like an adult, you'll be treated like an adult.*

Fact: Show me once, in my entire life, that two nyms posted to the same
thread.

Just once Andy.
Just once in, oh, 100 posts a day, 365 days a year, for 20 years.

Just once Andy.
C'mon, Andy ... just once prove what you say with a fact.

What's that?
You have zero facts to back up what you just alleged?

Really?
Absolutely none?

Fact:

*You prove constantly, Andy Burns, you have the mind of a child.*
You make up accusations that are simply not true.

Even you know them to be untrue.
You know how I know that?

Because you can't find a single instance in thousands of threads.
Not a single one.

You just make up these allegations.

Facts?
You don't need facts.

You make allegations like a child makes them.
*When you, Andy Burns, act like an adult, you'll be treated like an adult.*

That's not even responding to your other completely fabricated claim that
"wiping the device" has anything to do with nyms.

You prove in every post, Andy Burns, that not only are you a child, but
you're an utter moron who just makes things up.

Where on earth have I claimed to change nyms for any reason other than
privacy?

You, Andy Burns, are proven, by your own statements, to not only have the
mind of a child, but, worse, you simply make up everything that you
believe.

Is your entire belief system really made up of wholly imaginary claims?

To wit:
You made up everything you wrote - and yet - you believe it.

That's sad.

HINT: I sure hope that you are not allowed to vote wherever you reside.
(You're that stupid that it scares me how you possess the mind of a child.)

Further proof that you, Andy Burns, have the midn of a child, is that it's
a perfectly valid technical question of:

Q: What can you do on Windows 10 that you can't do on WinXP or Win7?

You don't have to "like" the question, nor do you have to like the answers.
Yet, in this entire thread, have you seen me stay on topic in all cases
except two special cases.

1. There's a special case of me to Mayayana which was a response to his
off-topic statement where I care to explain a valid fact to Mayayana about
his off-topic conversation, adult to adult.

2. There's the special case of the three trolls, Frank Slootweg the troll,
Andy Burns, and Wolf K, all of whom spent far more time in this thread
trolling than answering any factual questions, where I had to waste not
only my time responding to their silly trolls but worse, everyone else has
to wade through this utter garbage that results when these three trolls do
their trolling (where each "thinks" he's an utter genious!)
a. *Frank Slootweg the troll*
b. Andy Burns
c. Wolf K.

All three prove themselves to be almost completely devoid of any adult
thought processes - hence - all they can do - is troll.

You, Andy Burns, completely fabricate imaginary slights, when the biggest
slight is right there in your face - which is that every time you act like
a child - I tell you that you act like a child - and treat you as the child
that you act like.

*And, when you act like an adult - I treat you as if you were an adult.*

boggle!

What the heck is up with you!? First you thank me for my technical
input (on Cygwin versus WSL) and less than an hour *later*, I'm back to
"Frank Slootweg the troll".

Or do you also - intentionally or unintentionally - fsck up your
'Date:' headers?

The issue that Andy described, and with which I'm in agreement, has
nothing to do with two or more nyms in the same thread, but rather two
or more nyms in the same newsgroup. If you scroll up, you'll see that
that's what he's referring to.

It would help a lot if you could fix that. It's probably a minor tweak
to your scripts.

The sad thing is that you are utterly incapable of adding a single iota of

Sadder still is that you're probably allowed to vote.

Thank you for that suggestion.

I certainly could fix that, but not after the fact so I can't change what
is already posted.

I can fix it moving forward, in that only one nym can operate in any one ng
during any one time period, where I retire Q&R nyms on a random schedule,
about every few months or so.

But the fact remains, that there are (at least) two Usenet models.
a. chitchat (which I don't use - and where headers are critical)
b. Q&A (which I use - where headers are completely meaningless)

The only header that matters in the Q&A model is the subject line.

In the chitchat model, all the headers may or may not matter since the
chitchatters are chit chatting idly where what they say is far less
important, in most cases, than who they appear to be. In this idle
chitchat model, people post something like 90% or more to other people's
threads, and they basically don't try to add much detail since they rely on
many thousands of previous posts in prior threads to provide most of the
detail of who they are.

In the Q&A model, *all* the necessary detail is in the thread and in the
subject line, where none of the other headers have any meaning whatsoever.
In this Q&A model, the ratios reverse between which threads are posted to.

You may note, since the Q&A threads are not about idle chitchat, but about
obtaining a specific technical answer, that it's IMPORTANT to keep the
trolls like Slootweg and Wolf and Andy Burns out, since they will DESTROY a
thread just as dumping a pile of **** on top of a picnic table destroys the
picnic.

Once trolls infest a thread, any thread, the thread is effectively dead,
but how you handle trolls is different, I posit, between the two models.

In the chitchat model, you ignore trolls, since you're not likely to stop
them (remember, once they **** on your picnic, the thread is dead already).

However, in the Q&A model, the trolls like Slootweg, Burns, and Wolf will
still **** on your picnic table, but the strategic goal is to get them to
act like adules.

Yes. These trolls like Slootweg, Burns, and Wolf have already ruined the
thread by ****ting on the picnic table - you can't stop that since it's a
fact that they do it - but what you can do is call them out for it in the
threads you CARE about to get an answer.

You don't call them out on ALL the times they troll, as they mostly troll
in other people's threads - which are easy to ignore their **** on those
picnic tables - but you directly confront them on the Q&A threads, because
you CARE about obtaining an answer.

Back on topic, we have the following items that are generally agreed upon.
1. Windows Store apps
2. Cortana searches
3. DirectX (for gaming)
4. Access 2TB of RAM (instead of 512GB, 192GB, & 128GB previously)
5. HiDPI scale text & GUI to 200% (not just 150% previously)
6. Full-screen console mode ?
7. Timeline (as of April 2018 release)
8. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on 64-bit (compare with Cygwin)

Frank Slootweg the troll was written first since you *were* trolling, which
is 90% of your posts, where only 10% of your posts are not fact free
trolls.

I'm not going to look at the time stamp because I batch these things so
they can be posted out of order, but even so, I respond to what you write.

When you act like a child, I respond to you accordingly.
When you act like an adult, I respond to you accordingly.

That you can't fathom that simple fact is the problem.

To wit...

Just because you act like an adult in 1 out of 10 posts, where in 9 of
those 10 posts you act like a child, doesn't mean you won't be called out
for exactly what you are.

You are what you write, Frank Slootweg.
And when you act like a child, I tell you that you act like a child.

Only you are confused by such honesty.
