Well this is the second way off-topic thread in 8 days, involving your name and magazine, that has wound up in a group generally about Windows XP. These two threads are all we have to base our opinions on what is typical of your squirrels. If you don't get a good opinion of us and of RISC OS computers generally then someone is feeding you false ideas. Sorry. Sorry and a quarter won't get ya' a cup of coffee. Please keep your squirrels and stray goats in your own neck of the woods. They are under the misguided impression that our msnews groups give a sh*t about ya'll, ya'll's misspelled oak of a magazine, or your RISC OS. [Is RISC another yet another misspelling, I wonder?] It's not like Acorn can even natively run on our IBM clones, so your squirrels really have no business whining, and playing the NetNazis in our groups. -- Peace!

Polite apologies don't expect rude replies. Feigned civlility does. Certainly not a spelling lesson. The C in RISC stands for Chip or Computer and we tend not to spell either of those words with a K. Obviouly, you don't have a sense of humor about it. The architecture means that we can run computers with very little power and no waste heat. It helps. The operating system can run on top of Windows if you want to sacrifice the environment saving architectu www.virtualacorn.co.uk Yes, I was aware of that before I posted my first reply to you. But if you read what I actually wrote I implied that Acorn is worthless to our computer on its own. but it works best using Intel's favourite chip - ie ARM - rather than the CISC architecture of the older (IBM clones) PCs. and I chose Qercus as a name for our magazine because, as you noticed, the intelligent can make the link back to Acorn whilst it manages to avoid too many botanical references in web searches. Then why isn't Acorn misspelled for the same reasoning? And stray goats? Mr. Goatly who really started this nonsense between msnews groups & CSAM. Because as I already explained earlier in the thread, MS pulled the original profane post from its msnews servers. As I said druck does some brilliant work so we allow him his foibles which includes telling people off when they're wrong. I realise you don't have the recompense of the fruits of his labour - but you could always buy a copy of Virtual Acorn... So that's what this recent Qercus/Acorn assult on our group is about? Marketing for Virtual Acorn? ..and as for the other plonker - well he's at the other side of the country else I'd have taken a blunt instrument to him; from comments elsewhere someone else will. Can we now end the cross-posting and silliness? As soon as ya'll crawl back under your CSAM rock, and leave us be. -- Peace!

This a nice way to treat someone who has defended you, last time we talk on the phone you offer me a free copy of Qercus, which I paid for even though you did not want me to. So lets see what you really think of M$ http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q=...co.uk&rnum= 1 Quote from John Cartmell: your freebies from Microsoft are no more than the freebies given by drug dealers or paedophiles. Which I did not agree with at the time and still do not, but when John was challanged he said in this posting http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q=...co.uk&rnum= 1 John Cartmell wrote: Russ Tarbox wrote: That's an obscene analogy. It's an absolutely straightforward one. You said MS's software and practices were better than they were. It sounded positive. I merely forced you to appreciate that 'better' need not mean 'good'. For starters, the laws seem to be made up as things go along. The laws of monopolies in the UK have been steady for many years. The one major exception to all the rules and way oou of line of the law is Microsoft. Comparing a software company's practices with that of a paedophile is ridiculous. In some cases both give out freebies in order to convert people and, once they have control, they close the trap. That analogy applies equally to paedophiles and Microsoft. I hadn't implied that both prey on children (but they do) but I'm pleased to see that you find the analogy distasteful - because much that Microsoft do is found to be distasteful by very many people. Of course the analogy breaks down. But the distaste is appropriate. -- Tarquin Mills Norwich Sinclair and Clones Show (ORSAM 2004) http://www.speccyverse.me.uk/orsam/ http://www.PetitionOnline.com/Sinclair/petition.html (Bring Back YS) |

I do not hate M$ users (no matter how many times they have told me to get a proper computer when they find out I am not using one running a M$ OS) just look at Reboot Movement (An Anti-Wintel Campaign) http://www.speccyverse.me.uk/comp/reboot/ No anti-Windows users stuff on it, or any anti Bill Gates stuff, how many other anti Microsoft websites can claim that. It is my belief that piracy and and anti-Windows-user/Bill-Gates views get more headlines than my campaigning with the Office of Fair Trading wrongly, I have been proved right. Just look a the media attention on Drobe that the Microdigital press release archive got. All those who have been expressing anti-M$ should answer why they have not contacted the OFT or local equivalent and banded together to create a mass anti-Wintel movement that can change things like FSF. |

That you spent more time partying in college than most, and have the piece of paper to prove it, isn't all that impressive. You breathe, sh*t, ****, eat, and put your pants on one leg at a time, so just because you and/or your parents, and/or others spent thousands of dollars for a piece of paper for you doesn't really mean anything, because in the end you are nothing but worm-bait, like the rest of us mere humans that didn't waste thousands of dollars on a piece of paper. Because as I already explained earlier in the thread, MS pulled the original profane post from its msnews servers. Without the benefit of psychic powers it's hard to see how I was supposed to know this. By keeping your snitching activities to yourself next time. Why do you feel the necessity to publicly announce your tattletale escapades to begin with. Children & KGB informants are at least smart enough to try to hide the fact of their tattletale acts. Anyway, enough, already! One can be a Microsoft hater without hating the people that use the products. Which is something that little Mr Mills should learn, sharpish. Why hate at all?

Whether a news server accepts and acts on cancels is a matter for that server
and its administration. There is no requirement that a third party server to act on cancels it receives from other servers including Microsoft. Likewise what Microsoft does or does not do with its server is a matter for Microsoft and Microsoft alone. -- Mike Maltby Tarquin Mills wrote: I challenge Microsoft to admit they cancelled those messages and others on the Usenet part of the Internet. |
