Did you try running Ubuntu on the MacBook Pro?

I tried loading it up with Debian Wheezy (it's circa 2006) no
luck.

I've experimented a great deal over the years.

If that machine is in working order - and can connect to the
Internet - I'd most certainly try my luck. In fact, if you wish,
to save you time and trouble, we could connect up with TeamViewer
and I'll spend MY time trying to get it running for you!

How is you offering to help him, with the knowledge you don't have
demonstrated for decades now going to save him any time or effort? He
might as well just do it all himself, lest he has to stop every few
seconds and explain what he's doing, and why he's doing it.

For ****s sake, David, you couldn't even understand that x.x.x.x is
NOT a valid IP address. Numbers should be in place of the character
'x'. You are NOT the right person to fix a computer, remotely.

Hell, why not just ask him to image the hard disk and send it to you
for 'analysis'? Pending he actually uses the machine and it has
personal data, you can 'get to know him better' by going through it,
as you tell him you're 'fixing' the machine.

A shame you misunderstood what he was reading so badly you thought
he had changed the topic to that.

In your hasty effort to besmirch me again, you missed an obvious
sarcastic reply I wrote for him. I'll do you a solid and clearly
label my snarky posts with a /snark flag in the future. I wouldn't
want you to step on your own dick so quickly again, Snit.

Remember when you used to deny the arrogance you demonstrate,
below? Amazing how quickly you contradict yourself.

Snit, David Brooks actually tried to use x.x.x.x as an IP for his
router once. Are you really going to disagree with what I wrote now
that you know that? Would you want someone trying to help you
diagnose an IT issue when they confuse x.x.x.x as a valid IP address?

Seriously, would you be comfortable letting an asshat like that on
your machine? If so, volunteer yours, before you come to Davids
defense when he's offering services he doesn't have the knowledge to
support. There's nothing 'arrogant' about pointing that out either.

If you're going to try and pass yourself off as someone with a normal
vocabulary, please learn to use the correct terminology to describe
various things. The example you selected for arrogance isn't it,
Snit.

And neither is the spamming one you accused me of previously.
Xposting doesn't automatically equal spamming. Do you even understand
where the term actually comes from?

Oh, I understood your trolling -- I just happily tossed it back
into your face. I do that a lot with you... and others who troll.
If you do not troll me I do not do anything to push your tantrum.
But when you troll me or others I have no issue shoving your BS
into your face.

I wasn't trolling him, Snit. As I've tried to tell you before, and
offered to show you plenty of evidence to support, David and I have
quite a history. I don't know what you think you tossed back in my
face, but we've already established that you're a liar, and various
other regulars have agreed with what Carroll has written about you
concerning what you've been trying to pull with me, twice now.

Do you need me to share those posts with you again to remind you?
They aren't buying your bull****, Snit.

I'll do you a solid and clearly
label my snarky posts with a /snark flag in the future.

No. You will not, at least not as a rule.

First, don't get the silly idea that you're in any position to tell
me what I will or will not do. I'll do as I damn well please, thanks.

You will make moreexcuses and throw more tantrums and beg me yet
again to lie for you. You cannot help yourself at this point.

Since you want to continue playing avoidance, let's get even more
specific about what you wrote, and how we all know you lied about me
when you wrote this:

Diesel made it clear he had access not just to the output of the bot
but to the code itself. When called out on this he clarified it was
merely the compiled code he had:


-----
Do you think when you disassemble something that you're
provided the original source code that was
compiled/assembled by the author? You aren't, what you're
given looks nothing like the original source code, but it
still tells you *everything* about the program.
-----

So how did Diesel get a copy of the program, compiled or not? My
guess: he will NEVER say.

I want to see the post(s) where I "made it quite clear" that I had
access to more than just the posts the bots been making (the output -
atleast what's available to an end user; admin may provide more
information). I want to see the post(s) where I was "called out", and
finally, I want to see the post(s) where I clarified I had the
"compiled code".

Those are three, seperate and distinct lies in a very short
paragraph. What you quoted me out of context! doesn't even come close
to supporting your accusation. And, it IS an accusation.
And then we have the issue of the question you asked at the end. That
question makes the assumption that what you wrote
previous to it is factual - The question is intended to give credence
to what's written previous to it, to give it credibility. To assist
in your effort to mislead. Which is incidently, a form of
manipulation, Snit.

You asked a specific question after you wrote the material. That
question directly implied that what you wrote prior to it was
accurate. We've already established that NOTHING YOU WROTE in that
post was accurate. So, about that question then, Snit. How can you
still claim you weren't lying when you wrote that post?

Where are the MIDs to the posts which support what you claimed took
place in it? You offered up that question to give credibility to your
bull**** story.

I've got a small but growing collection of other not so little white
lies you've told about me, and I'll begin bringing them up in fine
detail soon enough as well. The longer you take to either backup what
you wrote, OR, admit you lied and apologize, the finer the detail
over what you did, exactly, I'm going to get.

You really don't grasp the concept yet, I'm not like some others
you've tried to jerk around on usenet before. I'm not just going to
go away, you lied on me. Unless, you can provide the MIDs to the
posts which support the claim that (a) I was called out and (b) that
I clarified I had the bot. Otherwise, when combined with that
question you wrote, especially this question:

"So how did Diesel get a copy of the program, compiled or not? My
guess: he will NEVER say. " directly implies that the statements you
wrote prior to it have already been established as being the truth.
The problem for you is, you're not able to actually establish that.
Infact, what's been established is that you wrote some accusations
towards me, and because of that question I was intentionally ignoring
for your benefit, you can no longer claim it's a misunderstanding on
my part, or yours. It's a series of lies you wrote in a very short
paragraph that you then tried to pass off as established truth with
your followup question.

You tried to mislead people, Snit. You tried to manipulate others
with your post. You've been trying to do that with your accusations
concerning my ability to comprehend what I read. We've (and I do mean
all of us) have seen multiple examples of you struggling with the
simplest of english material. You are in absolutely no position to
even come close to questioning anyone elses comprehension level here.
The rest of us don't have the problems understanding material that
you've already shown you have, Snit.



I wouldn't
want you to step on your own dick so quickly again, Snit.

Do you realize how much you sound like Carroll there? LOL! He
really does have you wrapped around his little finger.

As I wrote previously, according to you, at one point, I was/am
Carroll, or a sock of his. All without a smidgeon of any kind of
proof, not even bothering to so much as check usenet headers you go
and make another fraudulent accusation. You're a poster child for the
expression, when in a hole, one shouldn't keep digging.

Snit, it's obvious that anyone who writes something which doesn't
paint you as a saint is either going to be accused of being carroll,
a sock of carrolls, or otherwise 'manipulated' in some way that you
never disclose the specifics of, but accuse multiple times, by
carroll. It looks to me as if you've reached the point, amusingly,
where you're almost out of gas and are going to toss
anything/everything at the wall, hoping something/anything!!? sticks
to give you something/anything!?!? to work with at this point.

What a sad, miserable existance you must have, Snit. I bet your real
life existance isn't much more pleasant than the online one you seem
to take great pride in here.

Yea.. right. Give it up already. There's no ****ing way one single
person is making hundreds of sock posts, all against you snit, for
over a decade now. I know several of the people who are quoted about
material concerning you. There's absolutely no way those people are
Carroll socks, either. And, every single individual on that list has
written something about you that can be fact checked and is provably
true and accurate concerning you, snit. And not one single item, so
far, that I've checked out is a good thing.

Not only have I yet to find a single compliment concerning you, so
far, every damn quote on that list, when pulled for full contextual
reading is accurate. I've yet to find someone who's actually lying
about you, or the things you do. Can you provide any MIDs where you
are falsely accused of.. well, anything, Snit?


Are you really going to disagree with what I wrote now
that you know that? Would you want someone trying to help you
diagnose an IT issue when they confuse x.x.x.x as a valid IP
address?

Depends on the issue. You see, if you had a better understand of
tech you would understand that even people knowledgeable in one
area can be extremely ignorant of others.

You're really reaching now, Snit. I've told you several times that I
have a Novell cert that's most likely older than your career
(actually, I know it is, unless you lied about the dates on your
minibio) and I've asked you several times if you knew what Novell
was. If you have responded to that question, I've yet to see it.

I've gone into some detail to elaborate on what I meant by "things" I
did with computers as a kid too, I asked you and Joel if you did
anything like that and as expected, crickets was the response. Was it
resistor, or soldering that neither of you were comfortable with
doing at that age? Or, did neither of you know about such hardware
modifications to unlock or otherwise give yourself more features and
options concerning that hardware?

So, enough with your bull**** ruse about my not knowing tech; I do,
quite well, thanks. And considerably more than you know of it - right
down to the ****ing components themselves. What you claimed was my
knowing "some about electronics" previously. You just can't help
yourself, you really do have to dig a hole. You are not a peer of
mine, snit, you'll never be a peer of mine. In the IT world people
like you are a ****ing joke and have never, not one single time, been
able to hold a candle to me. That's not arrogance, that's not even
bragging, that's just being honest.

I know David quite well, I've interacted with him for a considerably
longer period of time than yourself. I know he's a technological
****ing moron, despite your efforts to claim otherwise. I've been
down the road he's on with Carroll and yourself, multiple times The
scenery never changes. David *never improves* his knowledge base.
Give it three months, he'll be asking the same ****ing questions he's
asking now. He's done this multiple times before. You really don't
know him, Snit. You just think you do. He's far better at
manipulation than you'll ever be, but, like you, his manipulation
only works on simple minded individuals. So, his audience, much like
yours is rather niche.

Seriously, would you be comfortable letting an asshat like that
on your machine? If so, volunteer yours, before you come to
Davids defense when he's offering services he doesn't have the
knowledge to support. There's nothing 'arrogant' about pointing
that out either.

I could note where you make many grammar errors. Does that imply
you are incompetent in all areas? Come on now, try to use some
logic. Just try. Work to understand simple concepts.

Snit, idiot, what the **** does my freehand nature with usenet have
to do with what I asked you? Not a ****ing thing. Try taking your own
advice, sometime, if you wouldn't mind. And perhaps, answer a
question on occasion. that's how 'conversation' works, Snit.

And super cool try with a grammar lame shot. Kiddo, we both know you
haven't got any live rounds left. You've been dry for awhile now.
That's not the point. Either find the posts you claim exist which
supoprt the accusations you made against me, or just admit that you
made it up and apologize for having done so. You aren't going to
decrease your credibility here, it's already zero now.

to what's written previous to it, to give it credibility. To assist
in your effort to mislead. Which is incidently, a form of
manipulation, Snit.

You made three, distinct, accusations; direct claims of being called
out, and clarifying. You followed it up with your question, which
directly implies the aforementioned text was already determined to be
factual; when it's not. You not only lied your ass off here, snit,
you went a step further and attempted to mislead others into thinking
what you already wrote prior to the question was an established fact.
You didn't establish any facts, you lied, instead.

That's why, despite my asking multiple times now to see the posts
supporting what you wrote, you're still unable to provide the MIDs to
them; because they don't actually exist and you can't just make an
MID up; you know various people are checking this thread out now,
some have commented about how you ****ed up here.

So, snit, again, either produce the posts you claimed, outright,
claimed exist with the words you used, or, admit you concocted the
whole thing, that you went well out of your way to lie on me, and
then went a step further to sell the lie with the question. How did I
get the bot? I didn't get any bot, we never established that was the
truth. You simply claimed it, and tried to make it the truth with
your question.

Now, snit, explain your way out of the mess you've gotten yourself
into once the question is brought out. G A question you wrote, to
go with your story. Go ahead, explain to us all that what I've
written isn't true; that there's a completely reasonable, alternate
explanation. And, feel free to share that explanation with us, Snit.

If you're going to try and pass yourself off as someone with a
normal vocabulary, please learn to use the correct terminology to
describe various things. The example you selected for arrogance
isn't it, Snit.

The fact you fail to understand why it is the EXACT right word I
meant does not change the fact it is. Can you understand why your
ignorance does not alter such facts?

We haven't established that I fail to understand anything. Repeatedly
making the accusation with nothing to back it up - like you did with
the aforementioned series of lies - does not make it a truthful or
otherwise, factual statement. Do you understand that, or do I need to
dumb it down further for you?

And neither is the spamming one you accused me of previously.
Xposting doesn't automatically equal spamming. Do you even
understand where the term actually comes from?

I know damned well you are spamming like crazy in your tantrum...
just as Carroll wants you to.

Ahh, so the answer to my question is that you don't know what
spamming actually is or even means. I'll give you a hint, then I'll
ask again if you understand what you're accusing me of, this time.

What am I advertising either for sale or for free, in any of the
posts I've written, Snit?

Now, again, I will ask, do you understand what spamming means? Is
that crickets I hear? Hmm. lol. Well, snit?

But let's say you had... say you were at some point in your life not

also be contrary to Diesel's own claim you refuse to or cannot learn).

Hmm... Is the Zyxel a modem only, or does it contain a router,
David? Either way, you actually did try using the example IP address
provided to you to access it. You were actually supposed to swap out
the x for numbers, though. Preferably, the correct ones.

I see you're back to your usual trolling.

There's a lot more like that in the thread if anyone would like to
go and take a peek. David is a class A ****ing moron and has been
for years.

Stop lying!

But let's say you had... say you were at some point in your life
not familiar with IP addresses. So what? Why would this be a
reason to attack you? NO! The fact you have learned would be a
good thing (and also be contrary to Diesel's own claim you refuse
to or cannot learn).

ROFL.

You're an idiot, much like David. And a known liar too. Much like
David. The only thing I haven't seen you actually do is try stalking
people.

So his claim speaks poorly of himself AND contradicts his own
claims.

You'd do yourself and others around you a great service if you'd take
some adult reading classes and regularly attend them. Public school
failed you. And quite honestly, I don't see how you were doing much
teaching with the demonstrated severe reading comprehension issues
you have. Those degrees, all online courses?

Is there a reason you prefer to run XP?

I'd rather run Win 2000 but it's not so capable these days.
XP still works for most things and I prefer it to later MS
releases. It's better designed, less of a resource hog, and
I have proper control over it. It's installed on an older
iMac which has a half decent screen. The Win 7 is on a
laptop which is less covenient to use.

I have an old MacBook Pro that I had to decommission from
doing web dev because it wouldn't run the 'latest' browser
versions It's a f*cking browser, not some high end app...
what a racket. I replaced it with an ASUS laptop I run Linux
on.

Did you try running Ubuntu on the MacBook Pro?

I tried loading it up with Debian Wheezy (it's circa 2006) no
luck.

I've experimented a great deal over the years.

He wasn't writing about alcohol, David.

I don't drink alcohol nowadays. I stopped on 21st March 2018.

Wine taken at church services isn't 'drunk' - it is sipped!

ROFL. I get it, it's an exception to your claim that you didn't touch
a drop since you quit, and you wanted to cover your ass here when I'd
ask about your church services. G

It's what you do, lie. Either directly, or indirectly by choosing not
to be completely forthcoming in your answers - which is 'odd' to pull
a snit, because you expect that of others. so funny.

If that machine is in working order - and can connect to the
Internet - I'd most certainly try my luck. In fact, if you wish,
to save you time and trouble, we could connect up with
TeamViewer and I'll spend MY time trying to get it running for
you!

How is you offering to help him, with the knowledge you don't
have demonstrated for decades now going to save him any time or
effort? He might as well just do it all himself, lest he has to
stop every few seconds and explain what he's doing, and why he's
doing it.

I suspect that he has better things to do.

I agree, which is why I wrote what I did.

For ****s sake, David, you couldn't even understand that x.x.x.x
is NOT a valid IP address. Numbers should be in place of the
character 'x'.

Do you REALLY think that? Don't you read all the posts here? Ask
Apd - he will confirm.

Uhh, you already demonstrated you had no clue. Or, have you forgotten
about the thread already? Apd did infact confirm in the very thread
i'm writing about. Would you like to know what he confirmed, David?


You are NOT the right person to fix a computer, remotely.
I've done it before! :-)

Uhh, David, I have degrees and many many hours doing IT work
professionally that clearly says otherwise. G

I've done thousands of remote connection repairs, David. How many
have you performed succesfully? G

If you put your website back on line, I'll tell you what YOUR IP
is! ;-)

WAHAHAHAHAAHA. You're a ****ing idiot.

Hell, why not just ask him to image the hard disk and send it to
you for 'analysis'? Pending he actually uses the machine and it
has personal data, you can 'get to know him better' by going
through it, as you tell him you're 'fixing' the machine.

No need to image it, he can send the whole computer and, when/if
I've fixed it, I can give it to someone needy.

I do the same, but, the thing is, people can trust me not to abuse
the data that might still be on the machine. With you, it's very
unwise to send anything to you that has personal data. You're very
likely to make copies to abuse the individual with later.

You do it online, no reason to suspect you wouldn't do the same if
provided physical access to a treasure trove of personal data.

In my case, whatever data was on the machine gets hosed before
anything else is done if it's to be for a donation. And when I set it
up to be donated, it's done properly. So that it's secure AND ready
for use, as soon as it's powered on again.

That's the sort of thing I do, Dustin

You are not, nor have you ever been employed as a professional PC
repair technician. You have no certifications, no specialized
training, limited tools and limited knowledge to go with them.

I have none of those aforementioned shortcomings. I have the degrees,
the certifications, the training, the hands on experience, the proper
tools, and the knowledge to use them.

not steal and misappropriate commercial software as you have
claimed to do.

Hah, how quick you are to forget soliciting the help of Snit for you
to crack the free trial marker on clamxav and then proceed to publish
those details to anyone else who wanted to know how to use the
product in free trial mode, with all features running, forever
without having to pay for it.

Atleast I don't have to get someone else to do the dirty work for me,
I've got the knowledge required for that part too. Very Jealous you
are, eh, David?

And incidently, steal isn't the appropriate word to use to describe
digital copyright infringement, but, you know that; it just makes
your bitch attack sound more impressive.

So whats this?

http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=159159190100
Diesel made it clear he had access not just to the output of the bot
but to the code itself. When called out on this he clarified it was
merely the compiled code he had:


-----
Do you think when you disassemble something that you're
provided the original source code that was
compiled/assembled by the author? You aren't, what you're
given looks nothing like the original source code, but it
still tells you *everything* about the program.
-----

So how did Diesel get a copy of the program, compiled or not? My
guess: he will NEVER say.

*** end snittage lie

Looks like quite a lie to me - complete with a question to give the
lie you wrote credibility. The question directly implies that what
you wrote above it has already been an established fact - which isn't
the case.

I want to see the post(s) where I "made it quite clear" that I had
access to more than just the posts the bots been making (the output -
atleast what's available to an end user; admin may provide more
information). I want to see the post(s) where I was "called out", and
finally, I want to see the post(s) where I clarified I had the
"compiled code".

So, that being stated, about that question then Snit? Any reasonable
answer? Any reasonable answer for why you haven't provided those MIDs
yet Snit?

So, if you don't lie, Snit, how do you explain what you wrote and how
do you explain your continued refusal to provide the MIDs to those
posts you claimed exist which would support your claims there, Snit?

Why, if you aren't a liar, can't you backup what you wrote with those
MIDs? You were very specific in what you claimed took place as you
wrote the bull**** story, Snit. I'd think you'd want to put me in my
place by backing your story up with those MIDs. That would shut me up
for sure. Yet, you don't provide any.

If you didn't lie, you should have absolutely no trouble whatsoever
answering every single one of those questions, reasonably, and
intelligently snit. Let us clear up this 'misunderstanding' so that
we can move onto having 'conversations' in the future. What do you
say?

I understood David just fine.

Clearly not. Or you lied. Either way it speaks poorly of you.

Neither. I repeat, I understood David just fine. Go ahead and
continue trying to run interference for him though. You're both
already quite the laughing stocks here and various other newsgroups.

I knew David ****ed up and did what I
accused him of doing.

Here you show you failed to understand the paragraph, above, that
starts with "But let’s say you had... "

I didn't fail to understand anything. I already knew David didn't
know **** about IP addresses, and I already knew he actually tried to
use x.x.x.x to access an internet device. A modem/router,
Specifically. NO amount of spin either of you try is going to change
that.

Is it not curious to you how often you fail to understand even
simple concepts? Do you have any theories as to why you failed to
understand that paragraph?

Do you really think you're going to get anywhere by continuing to try
and talk down to me as you're doing? if you're looking for peace,
continuing to lie and write smartass comments like you've done here,
with NOTHING to support them, isn't the way in which you go about
peace, Snit. It's the way in which you ensure continued strife.

Uh huh. So at what point were you going to chime in and correct Snits
obvious misunderstanding concerning my ability to pull an MID. I've
been using howard for years, longer than you infact. And, I've got
other ways to pull an MID. I've been sharing MIDs to backup what I've
written for years. Are you going to continue with the double standard
concerning Snit David? You know, continue to turn a blind eye when he
writes bull****... is that what you're going to continue doing?
