Yeah we know. Discussion evolved beyond your capabilities,
again. Thus the appearance of the 'plonker'.

That's all Peter's challenge was... ::CHOKE:: Major ::CHOKE::


Hm, I have NFS set up on my iMac, I didn't did it though, rather
sysadmin

Off hand I have no idea how to set it up -- That's how Peter powned me!

Yup... You got pwned!


Ah, so it has become clear:

1) I do not know everything. Peter asked about setting up NFS on a Mac with
a GUI and while I do not know much about it I found a GUI for him to do so.

2) You then mocked me for pointing him to a GUI (?!) and for not knowing how
to set up NFS (something I never said I did know).

3) Because of my horrible wrong here you deemed it acceptable to snip all
quotes of you making an ass of yourself, to forge quotes, to lie, and to
troll.

You are such a mature person!

But, I admit, I am giving you lots of attention. THAT really is what you
want.


They are begging for your attention Michael.


Marek has been especially desperate recently. The sad thing is he COULD just
drop his trolling and have a real conversation if he was not so insecure.

Snit couldn't even setup NFS on a Mac using only what Apple provides. He
ran away like a screaming girl for a $20 utility. HAHHAHAHAHAHA That's
all Peter's challenge was... ::CHOKE:: Major ::CHOKE::


Marek's circus so far (it keeps getting more insane):

1) Peter asked about setting up NFS on a Mac with a GUI. He wanted it to
ship with the Mac but there is no such tool so I found a third party GUI for
setting up NFS (something I know little about but it should not be that hard
to do). Peter had the option to use that GUI tool or the CLI tools that come
with the Mac. Either seem fine options.

2) Marek then mocked me for pointing him to a GUI (?!) and for not knowing
how to set up NFS (something I never said I did know). Clearly Marek holds
me to a very high standard -- he assumes I know pretty much EVERTHING about
all areas of tech. Interesting how he sees me as being so knowledgeable that
for ANY area I am not versed in he thinks it is odd.

3) Marek throw a public toddler tantrum and deemed it acceptable to snip all
quotes of him making an ass of himself, to forge quotes, to lie, push
meta-meta-debates, repeat the juvenile "Everyone is Snit" gag, and to engage
in name calling and insults.

4) I give Marek lots of attention (though to save time largely through
repeated text).

5) Marek concluded he somehow showed himself to be a... better person? What?
Really... what the hell?

6) Marek changed the topic, posted a fairly simple script and predicted I
would not be able to figure out what it does.

7) It was obvious what it does and I posted proof that I know, he
https://www.icloud.com/pages/0o1-ztyyz2aAl1kTOSytUb3FQ#ForMarek. Marek
wants me to jump through hoops for him to do HIM a favor (I have NOTHING to
prove to him as I am the one being honest). For me to do Marek this favor he
must merely admit to two truths:

* Peter asked for a GUI solution.
* When I showed him one you responded dishonestly

8) For anyone else (other than my stalker) who actually doubted I could
understand the simple script, they were welcome to the password for free.
NOBODY else showed any doubt - only Marek. Still, this did not stop Marek
from lying and insisting I must be trying to buy time. And eventually it
came out that everyone knew what it did so I shared my password. Marek
continued to have a tantrum.

Ah, the wonders of Usenet!

Oh, and the best actual quotes that prove that Marek's tantrum began with
him making a complete ass of himself:

Peter Köhlmann:
-----
For linux (for example Opensuse) this is just a few mouseclicks on
both side in *GUI* programs to get it working, all in all taking
less than a minute to do the complete setup

Since the lying imbecile claims that OSX is way superior to linux
(especially on the GUI), lets have a smalll video from that
dimbulb. I naturally expect that his example will show the
"challenge" to take substantial less time than on linux...
-----
Where the exact task as descibed takes *less* than a minute (in
fact, less than 30 seconds when you know how it is done) to do it
with a GUI.
-----

Marek:
-----
Nope, he asked that you do it manually, not with a GUI app
-----
Typical Snit, runs for the GUI app for sale because he's a
clueless Mac idiot.
-----
NFS is quite possibly the easiest of all sharing to set up. And
Snit immediately runs to a GUI util for $20 because he has no clue
at all how to do it out of the box with what Apple provided.
-----
Not only could he not do it with what comes out of the box with
the Mac, he had to run to a GUI util to do what a simple command,
which is built in, could do.
-----
He's a moron, Tom. This is the same guy that went looking for a
$20 GUI app because he's too stupid to type nfsd start on the
command line.
-----

LOL!

I have windows 3.1 running on an old computer: rock-solid

I have windows 10 running on my MacBook Pro (Parallels): rock solid

I think others have Linux running: rock solid

I think some/many have problems with any system because they are the
problem.


Exactly!

So, what is your point?


It's fun to kick stupid people in the ass.

My advise to you: keep windows 8 for another decade, including old
hardwa rock solid but old fashioned


Poor advice since the hardware won't last that long with
constant use. VMWare all the way!

I didn't see any compelling reason to upgrade to Windows 10.

All my stuff works. Socks works, Tor works, SSL is okay, QS
works. Windows 8.1 is a very reliable OS and superior to Linux
or Mac.



If that's your choice, that's fine. I won't try to talk you into
anything.

But as far as I'm concerned, what you're saying is like "My Ford works
fine, so I don't want a Mercedes."


I would take a 2016 Ford GT over a 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S.

The price of a Mercedes is 20% for the machine and 80% for the
"reputation".


Is it not rather 20% reputation and 80% for the machine ;-)) ?
