My only defense is that, being considerably more intelligent than you, I feel some deep-seeded need to speak out against the blatant, glaring inaccuracies you consistently introduce into this forum.

I hate to see this inanity breed; you are a breeder and nothing else. The tactics you employ to ensure the survival of this inanity are so unrefined, so transparently obvious, that it pains me even to read them. You don't listen to those with opposing viewpoints; you don't pay attention to debate. You close your eyes, you close your mind, and then you call people names. *You call them names!* The absurdity of this is obviously lost on you - as it is lost on all teenagers who call their schoolmates names - but to those of us with I.Q's higher than 60, this is so patently ridiculous as to warrant some concern on our part. You have all the intelligence of a sea anemone, Kurt, and Darwinism suggests that someday soon, someone of superior intellect (most anyone) is going to come along and remove you from the food chain. We're concerned, my boy. We're concerned for your well-being. So: You call them names, you insult them, and when they respond to your insults, you insult them some more for having stooped to your level (a level on which, I might add, you have already very clearly established yourself). You are a one-trick pony, Kurt. You don't know what you're talking about when it comes to copyright law, your computer skills are clearly lacking, and as for pure human interaction, I've seen blind, rabid, lame dogs in heat with better people skills. I tell you this not because I think you're an imbecile (though, clearly, you are), but because if you want to hold out hope of ever getting your point across - about anything - you should really start working on your communication skills. I shouldn't even need to mention that the most ubiquitous proclamation in all your quasi-arguments is "LOL," but it just goes to further my point. You can't formulate a rational thought to save your life, and so you just go with the least common denominator, namely, a hackneyed internet abbreviation, rampant verbal abuse, lame-duck opinions, and microscopic genitalia. Whoops! Did I say that? Let me summarize. You know nothing about any of the topics on which you post; your posts consist almost entirely of name-calling and fabricated, delusional arguments; you preface each one of those posts with "LOL"; and all of your posts are so twisted, irrational, and incoherent as to warrant psychiatric evaluation.

I know this post will probably get edited out, and that's fine. I only hope you get to it before Mike does, because it will be the last time you'll hear from me - I'm finally going to filter you out of my life. For a while I found your posts sort of entertaining in a sick, masochistic way - I almost enjoyed discovering that your idiocy and your depravity plumbed deeper depths than I previously imagined even existed. Now, however, I've grown sick of your rants, your rambling, and your rampant bestiality. Notice, though, that I've managed to lay bare the cold, hard truth about you in this post without ever having uttered a curse word. As they say, profanity is the result of a deficient mind attempting to express itself forcefully, and your mind is about as deficient as they come. Enjoy the sheep! Wow, Linda, my hat is off to you.

In ,
Linda B respectfully replied ;-) I will take this chance to state the obvious, and I believe that the only reason you might relinquish the final word in this post -- if in fact you do so -- is to try to save some face. Just for the record, this is the second time you've "offered" me the final word (which is completely illogical, but I don't expect you to understand that). You have *taken* it on countless occasions. It is clearly your foremost objective, and anyone who is wondering if that's true should just run a query on your nick. Linda, as just about anyone knows I am not a fan or friend of Kurt, but your post is so off base I must respond. Kurt pushes buttons, and he really pushed yours to the point you sound like you are close to a breakdown. Time and time again -- and this is shown by the written record here; anyone can go and check - you have shown that your ultimate goal is not to help people, Not true, he posts more helpful posts than I have seen from you. nor to participate in rational discussion, Not true, he posts with detailed examples of what formed his opinion. but to espouse your own ideas and shoot down anyone you see as opposing you, True, he is tenacious and uses any means to do so. regardless of how correct they invariably are, and how astonishingly mistaken you are. The jury has not been given the chance to decide who is right or wrong yet, so the only thing astonishing is you think he is astonishingly mistaken. You fabricate foundations for these absurd arguments seemingly out of thin air. I see lots of documentation that forms his foundations, none are so far proven, but they are well documented. Such prestidigitation is not well suited to a forum ostensibly devoted to the advancement of knowledge; you serve only to bring the participants down to your level. I am as guilty of this as any, and I take full responsibility for my actions. Possibly, but it is a general newsgroup and so therefore a pretty undefined forum. My only defense is that, being considerably more intelligent than you, Pardon me, but I haven't noticed big difference in intellect. I feel some deep-seeded need to speak out against the blatant, glaring inaccuracies you consistently introduce into this forum. I have a great deal of trouble leaving stupidity alone, especially your particular brand of it, which seems to generate some depraved form of loyalty in those of similarly deficient mind. I hate to see this inanity breed; you are a breeder and nothing else. I don't see glaring inaccuracies in Kurt's posts, but I do see a difference of opinion in how Kurt see's the information and others in the newsgroups interrupt it. The tactics you employ to ensure the survival of this inanity are so unrefined, so transparently obvious, that it pains me even to read them. You don't listen to those with opposing viewpoints; you don't pay attention to debate. You close your eyes, you close your mind, and then you call people names. *You call them names!* The absurdity of this is obviously lost on you - as it is lost on all teenagers who call their schoolmates names - but to those of us with I.Q's higher than 60, Partially true except for the I.Q's higher than 60 Certainly seems to have been a success in pushing your button. this is so patently ridiculous as to warrant some concern on our part. You have all the intelligence of a sea anemone, Kurt, and Darwinism suggests that someday soon, someone of superior intellect (most anyone) is going to come along and remove you from the food chain. We're concerned, my boy. We're concerned for your well-being. Now I am getting worried about you. 8-) So: You call them names, you insult them, and when they respond to your insults, you insult them some more for having stooped to your level (a level on which, I might add, you have already very clearly established yourself). You are a one-trick pony, Kurt. You don't know what you're talking about when it comes to copyright law, Have you been able to prove you are right or he is wrong? Tell us about copyright law. Whatever you say will have the same weight as Kurt, it has not been defined. your computer skills are clearly lacking, I haven't noticed this at all. I even ask him for help on issues I know he is an expert on. and as for pure human interaction, I've seen blind, rabid, lame dogs in heat with better people skills. Now here is where I can agree with you, I am not a fan of his tactics, but your allegations are emotionally driven and exactly what Kurt was trying to get from you. I tell you this not because I think you're an imbecile (though, clearly, you are), but because if you want to hold out hope of ever getting your point across - about anything - you should really start working on your communication skills. The communication skills are crude and abrasive, but you have to agree, they pushed your button and got HIS point across. I shouldn't even need to mention that the most ubiquitous proclamation in all your quasi-arguments is "LOL," but it just goes to further my point. I think he is being honest with you, he is LOL You can't formulate a rational thought to save your life, and so you just go with the least common denominator, namely, a hackneyed internet abbreviation, rampant verbal abuse, lame-duck opinions, and microscopic genitalia. Whoops! Did I say that? Yes you did, LOL Kind of makes that rational thought argument a little shallow. Let me summarize. You know nothing about any of the topics on which you post; Not true your posts consist almost entirely of name-calling Not true, the name calling is a small part of the posts. You just let it influence your judgement more than it should. and fabricated, delusional arguments; I haven't seen any fabrications, I don't agree with his opinions about what he posts, but they are not fabrications. you preface each one of those posts with "LOL"; LOL, most of the time I can see why. and all of your posts are so twisted, irrational, and incoherent as to warrant psychiatric evaluation. I don't see all of them needing psychiatric evaluation, just a few. LOL What are you *doing* here, Kurt? Shouldn't you be in a bayou somewhere, strumming a banjo and waiting for your sister to get home? I think there's a sow out back that needs your attention. Now you went to his level. I know this post will probably get edited out, and that's fine. I only hope you get to it before Mike does, because it will be the last time you'll hear from me - I'm finally going to filter you out of my life. For a while I found your posts sort of entertaining in a sick, masochistic way - I almost enjoyed discovering that your idiocy and your depravity plumbed deeper depths than I previously imagined even existed. Now, however, I've grown sick of your rants, your rambling, and your rampant bestiality. Notice, though, that I've managed to lay bare the cold, hard truth about you in this post without ever having uttered a curse word. As they say, profanity is the result of a deficient mind attempting to express itself forcefully, and your mind is about as deficient as they come. I see little hard truth about Kurt from your post, but a lot of emotional difference of opinion that clouds truth. Profanity does not always have to be spoken to be profane. -- Michael Stevens MS-MVP XP http://www.michaelstevenstech.com For a better newsgroup experience.

Here ya go: "Linda B" wrote: delurk I will take this chance to state the obvious, If it is so obvious, is it rational to have a need state it? and I believe that the only reason you might relinquish the final word in this post -- if in fact you do so -- is to try to save some face. It would seem to me that he was setting you up to have you demonstrate that getting the last word is more important to you than it is to him. Just for the record, this is the second time you've "offered" me the final word (which is completely illogical, but I don't expect you to understand that). How is it illogical? He offered not to reply to you, to give you the last word, "if it is so important to you." It is evident that the last word means more to you, than it does to him. You have *taken* it on countless occasions. Now that is illogical. How would he know, in advance, that any of his posts would not be replied to, in order to "take" the last word? It is clearly your foremost objective, and anyone who is wondering if that's true should just run a query on your nick. And the appearance here is that the last word is more important to you. Time and time again -- and this is shown by the written record here; anyone can go and check - you have shown that your ultimate goal is not to help people, Definitely untrue. He has helped me with a problem, and as a regular lurker here, I've read many posts of his that have helped others. nor to participate in rational discussion, Untrue. Most of his philosophical agreements about Microsoft Licensing are totally based in the rational and the real. Most of his opponents are that base their opinions on irrational beliefs, because they tend to call anyone, that doesn't follow Microsoft's licence according to what those opposing Kurt believe it means, is a thief or a pirate, which is outside the realm of reason, and has never been proven, just like he says to them all the time. but to espouse your own ideas and shoot down anyone you see as opposing you, You do know that is what any person that hold strong rational opinions would do, don't you? regardless of how correct they invariably are, That is subjective. For my part, I see that it is Kurt that is the one that is "invariably" correct. He explains what is the reality of the licensing situation. Just look at this thread. He was the one that posted the System Builders License, while his opponent just alluded to it, and made it sound like it said something it definitely does not say. and how astonishingly mistaken you are. How astonishingly taken with him you are! All you are doing is stating that he is wrong, but you have yet to show one example of it. At least he goes out of his way to explain himself and his opinions. You fabricate foundations for these absurd arguments seemingly out of thin air. Actually, he did not start this one. In this thread he corrected the fabrication foundations of other posters. Such prestidigitation is not well suited to a forum ostensibly devoted to the advancement of knowledge; you serve only to bring the participants down to your level. What he actually does is pushes the buttons of those that oppose him. He did it with you. "Last word is yours, if it is so important to you." What he did was goad you into displaying that the last word was more important to you than to him. He goads Leythos all the time, by demonstrating that all he does is present disinformation, and then by adding a couple of comments that is sure to get his goat, and Leythos is completely incapable of ignoring the bait Kurt leaves for him. I am as guilty of this as any, and I take full responsibility for my actions. No, you don't take real responsibility. If you really think that all Kurt does is put on a slight-of-hand show, then you wouldn't get involved in it at all. It is obvious that you are a victim of his rational agreements, and you didn't like it when he explained why you were mistaken, so know you are trying to get him back by attacking him, because you cannot rationally and logically show that is opinion is incorrect. My only defense is that, being considerably more intelligent than you, Now that is just sad that you feel the need to express your belief that you are more intelligent than Kurt, rather than letting your words speak for you. I feel some deep-seeded need to speak out against the blatant, glaring inaccuracies you consistently introduce into this forum. Yet you have done nothing to explain that anything he has said is inaccurate. He gave you the opportunity to do just that, but all you did was continue the character assassination as he put it. I have a great deal of trouble leaving stupidity alone, From this diatribe about Kurt, it would seem that you are just lonely. especially your particular brand of it, which seems to generate some depraved form of loyalty in those of similarly deficient mind. So anyone that believes that the licensor is not the final authority when it comes to the legal interpretation of its license is a deficient mind? As Kurt always points out that would include IBM, as that is why they aren't settling with SCO over its interpretation of the UNIX license, because it is the courts that are the final authority. That is the foundation of Contract Law in the US. That's why we have courts to settle contract disputes. Contract law would be totally unnecessary, if the contractor is the final authority in interpreting its own contracts. I hate to see this inanity breed; you are a breeder and nothing else. You have yet to demonstrate that anything Kurt advocates is an "inanity," though he does breed the wrath of those that he has shown to be irrational purveyors of disinformation. The tactics you employ to ensure the survival of this inanity are so unrefined, so transparently obvious, that it pains me even to read them. Are you confessing to be a masochist? You don't listen to those with opposing viewpoints; you don't pay attention to debate. Now you are just prevaricating. Kurt demonstrates that he listens to his opposition, and is very deliberate in explaining why they are mistaken. This thread is the perfect storm of his style. He didn't have to post the System Builders License. All he really needed to do was challenge Leythos to quote where the System Builders License states that upgrading the motherboard invalidates the OEM Windows XP license, but understanding that Leythos would avoid doing that from prior experience, Kurt demonstrated why Leythos was just spreading disinformation, before he called Leythos out on his irrational opinion about it. You close your eyes, you close your mind, and then you call people names. *You call them names!* Yes he does. After he explains and demonstrates why they have earned the names he calls them. It is just his way to push their buttons. And it seems to work every time, because instead of focusing on what Kurt has shown where their opinions are deficient, inaccurate, or just plain incorrect, his opposition just focuses on the names they have been called by him, which to any casual observer further demonstrates how irrational his opposition really is. The absurdity of this is obviously lost on you - as it is lost on all teenagers who call their schoolmates names - If all he did was call them names, then you would be correct, but that is not Kurt's style. Kurt explains his opinions, dismembers the opinions of his opposition, and then entertains his audience. Kurt makes this group interesting to lurk. but to those of us with I.Q's higher than 60, this is so patently ridiculous as to warrant some concern on our part. And that concern is misplaced. What should concern you is your and the rest of his opposition's obsession with him, and his style, rather than focusing on his rational opinion. You have all the intelligence of a sea anemone, Kurt, and Darwinism suggests that someday soon, someone of superior intellect (most anyone) is going to come along and remove you from the food chain. We're concerned, my boy. We're concerned for your well-being. If you really had done a search of his posts in this group, then you'll see that no one with a superior intellect has been able to remove him from this food chain. While he might not be the brightest bulb in the bunch, when it comes to his arguments on Microsoft's Licensing, no one has been able to come close to actually dispelling his opinions about it. So: You call them names, you insult them, and when they respond to your insults, you insult them some more for having stooped to your level (a level on which, I might add, you have already very clearly established yourself). No. He ridicules them for only acknowledging the name-calling at the expense of supporting their own opinions, or trying to dispel his opinions. You are a one-trick pony, Kurt. If he was, then he wouldn't have lasted as long here as he has. You don't know what you're talking about when it comes to copyright law, That is patently untrue. His opinion on fair use is the absolute reality of the situation according to the existing legal precedent. your computer skills are clearly lacking, And what evidence do you have to support that opinion? and as for pure human interaction, I've seen blind, rabid, lame dogs in heat with better people skills. Is Kurt abrasive? Yes. He is deliberately so, especially with those that he sees it would affect, but I've also seen him have pleasant conversations and go out of his way to help people. I tell you this not because I think you're an imbecile (though, clearly, you are), but because if you want to hold out hope of ever getting your point across - about anything - you should really start working on your communication skills. Those that he respects, he shows his respect. Those that he doesn't respect he shows his utter contempt of them. With Kurt, he wears what he thinks about you on his sleeve. I shouldn't even need to mention that the most ubiquitous proclamation in all your quasi-arguments is "LOL," but it just goes to further my point. If that was the sum total of his posts, you would be correct, but that is hardly the sum total of his posts. You can't formulate a rational thought to save your life, and so you just go with the least common denominator, namely, a hackneyed internet abbreviation, rampant verbal abuse, lame-duck opinions, That would be your own unsupported opinion. and microscopic genitalia. Whoops! Did I say that? Yes, you did. And it is as totally unsupported as the rest of your Kurt diatribe. Let me summarize. You have been totally affected by Kurt. You and the rest of his opposition cannot disparage his opinions reasonably, so all you have left is to irrationally disparage his character. You know nothing about any of the topics on which you post; your posts consist almost entirely of name-calling and fabricated, delusional arguments; you preface each one of those posts with "LOL"; and all of your posts are so twisted, irrational, and incoherent as to warrant psychiatric evaluation. Now that is funny! After you spend a whole post showing how irrational you are when it comes to Kurt, it is you that would seem to warrant the psychiatric evaluation. What are you *doing* here, Kurt? Shouldn't you be in a bayou somewhere, strumming a banjo and waiting for your sister to get home? I think there's a sow out back that needs your attention. Since you are the one that is doing all this squealing over Kurt, are you the sow that needs his attention? I know this post will probably get edited out, and that's fine. I only hope you get to it before Mike does, because it will be the last time you'll hear from me - I'm finally going to filter you out of my life. Too bad that you didn't do that before you exposed yourself to be totally consumed with fascination with Kurt. For a while I found your posts sort of entertaining in a sick, masochistic way - So you were confessing to your masochistic tendencies before. I almost enjoyed discovering that your idiocy and your depravity plumbed deeper depths than I previously imagined even existed. Now, however, I've grown sick of your rants, your rambling, and your rampant bestiality. And what is this fascination of yours with bestially all about? Is this another confession about your sexual depravity? Notice, though, that I've managed to lay bare the cold, hard truth about you in this post without ever having uttered a curse word. As they say, profanity is the result of a deficient mind attempting to express itself forcefully, and your mind is about as deficient as they come. Enjoy the sheep! And your obsession with bestiality is the result of your depraved mind attempting to express itself forcefully into the open air of day. /delurk -- Lurker |

Since we are finally talking about OEM software again, and not about me, I gonna respond. And you missed the point too - His position is that the EULA is the final word, and mine is that the EULA left some questions in OEM's minds that were explained in detail on the website. Now, do you see. Yes, MS uses extra-SBL & extra-EULA policies, that are password-protected, to make up new rules. Does MS directly contact it's OEM customers to get them to agree to these New Rules? No. The first question a judge would have is why these extra-agreement policies aren't written into the agreements. Do you have a compelling and reasonable answer for that, after over a dozen years of MS selling OEM software? And in case you missed it, I did quote the part of the Systems Builders SITE that declares the "Computer" as the motherboard. I even provided a Link to the MS site with the exact text of what MS considers the term "Computer" to mean. Password protected. Meant for system builders, not end users of OEM software. MS partners like you are willing to abide by these extra-SBL/EULA "New Rules," since by following them, you can FUD people into buying more copies of software than they really need, according to the EULA as it is written. The SBL clearly states, "A 'fully assembled computer system" means a computer system consisting of at least a central processing unit, a motherboard, a hard drive, a power supply, and a case." A motherboard is just one of five parts of a computer in the SBL, then after-the-fact of the SBL, on a password-protected site, MS tries to claim that the Motherboard is the Computer, in direct contradiction to the SBL! And the SBL is mainly a Redistribution license, not a Usage license to begin with. The End User agrees to the End User License Agreement, which doesn't mention the "Motherboard" at all! The SBL and the EULA contradict each other on the matters of transfer of the OEM software. So does the SBL transfer terms apply to the End User of OEM software who is there own SB, or do they follow the EULA's transfer terms? Which terms, the SBL or the EULA, are applicable to a End User who is his/her own System Builder? The differences in opinion on the EULA are that one side takes the EULA as gospel and if they have a area that is vague they take it to mean what they want it to mean for their case. The other group looks at the EULA and seeks clarification from the Systems Builder site for areas they consider Vague. LOL! ;-) Sounds like Microsoft and its unscrupulous partners. The EULA is vague on the matter of when upgrading a computer makes it into a new computer. So then after the fact of the agreement MS, on its password-protected site, makes up "New Rules" to make the EULA mean something more that is actually stated in it. I understand why you, as a MS partner, accept MS's extra-SBL & extra-EULA password-protected policies, GREED. By following them, you get people to buy more copies of software than they really need under the EULA as written. Like SCO and IBM, SCO is NOT the judge of what the UNIX license means, and neither is MS. And like IBM, I'm willing to wait for MS to prove that their unsubstantiated extra-EULA claims in a REAL court of law, and not just blindly accept them with no facts to back up its claims. Your motivation to believe MS's "New Rules" is your own greed, mine is the protection of the rights of the consumer over that of the arbitrary whims of a known corporate criminal and its willing greed-filled toadies. -- Peace!

Much like many other sites on the net. Are you really so dense that you can't understand how that page is not for the End User and the only contract the End User has agreed to is the EULA? 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of XP users will never know of that web site and it isn't mentioned in the EULA as a place to go for any contractual updates to the EULA. Ergo, the only contract is the EULA which doesn't mention the word "motherboard" once. Alias |
