What the FUCK - when did you get on Microsoft's payroll ?!?
It's, what, several months now that you've been sounding like some fucking Dr. Pangloss on Valium?
"All is as well as can be; we live in the best of worlds, and Microsoft operating systems are actually really nifty, and Microsoft itself is actually a really nice company; so let us grow our cabbages and be content..."
Are you fucking STONED, or what???
Just wondering...

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot.

Do you live here, like a troll under a freaking bridge?
Why should anyone bitch about compatibility?
I hate Windows, but if I want to write my papers without worrying about apps that don't work correctly, I'm stuck with it. I'm stuck with it at work. The only place I'm not stuck with it is on my (soon to be installed) Linux firewall and scratch database server.

Eh? You should use TeX.
I hate Windows, but if I want to write my papers without worrying about apps that don't work correctly, I'm stuck with it.There are always alternatives. You should use TeX. After all, [link|http://www.tug.org/|TeX] is [link|http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/abcde.html#texbk|nearly bug free] according to Knuth: I still take full responsibility for the master sources of TeX, METAFONT, and Computer Modern. Therefore I periodically take a few days off from my current projects and look at all of the accumulated bug reports. This happened most recently in 1992, 1993, 1995, 1998, and 2002; following this pattern, I intend to check on purported bugs again in the years 2007, 2013, 2020, 2028, etc. The intervals between such maintenance periods are increasing, because the systems have been converging to an error-free state. The latest and best TeX is currently version 3.141592 (and plain.tex is version 3.1415926); METAFONT is currently version 2.71828 (and plain.mf is version 2.71). All these systems are Y2K-compliant. My last will and testament for TeX and METAFONT is that their version numbers ultimately become $\\pi$ and $e$, respectively. At that point they will be completely error-free by definition.
Rewards
If you do succeed in finding a previously undiscovered bug in the programs for either TeX or METAFONT, I shall gladly pay you a reward of $327.68. Corrections to errors in The TeXbook or The METAFONTbook are worth $2.56, as in all my other books. ;-) Cheers, Scott.

Re: Eh? You should use TeX.
I have no time to waste on archaisms. I use MathType because it is very fast and easy to use. It outputs TeX for those people who need it. Writing TeX directly is not fit work for Christians :)

Bullshit - you fucking LOVE Windows.
Everything you write about it -- except when you *say* "I hate Windows" -- SHOWS that you LOVE it.
No, I don't "live here, like a troll under a freaking bridge"; I just drag the rotten carcasses of formerly live posters here -- to the boneyard, where they belong -- whenever I notice that cerebral activity has ceased.

LPRD candidate! (new thread)
Created as new thread #95097 titled [link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=95097|LPRD candidate!]
After 9/11, Bush made two statements: 1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity." 2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism."
Sounds like everything is going according to plan.

Re: Bullshit - you fucking LOVE Windows.
No, I've given up on computers as any kind of challenge or source of satisfaction/sanity, and just use what's usable, whether minimally or not. The days doesn't pass when I don't cuss this POS. The fact that I stick with Windows 98 - the least of evils - should tell you something. I have never liked Windows - it's boring. But the applications work better than the ones on Linux, which is also mostly a cack OS outside of grunt server work.
(BTW funny flame.)

"Smarting"?!? From anything *you* said or did, dweeb-face?
Not hardly, you utter fucking "vbg" weenie.
Now, will you have the FUCKING decency to SHUT UP?
(At least until you learn to spell 'cojones', you frigging moron.)

Once a 500lb gorilla - always a 500lb gorilla
Just wanted to take the time to confirm it
From Ashton we learn that a gentleman weilding a writing stick can stand 10 times taller and be 10 times more effective than a gorilla waving a tree trunk & executing noise by way of a foul mouth.

And from, you we learn...
...that a REAL arsehole just NEVER shuts up -- not even seven posts down-thread from what it SAID would be its "last post in this discussion".(*)
And, just so you'll know, Doggie-boy: *Ashton* -- and one or two others -- may well "stand 10 times taller and be 10 times more effective than a gorilla(+)", but... Ahem, uh, to borrow (and probably distort) a phrase: I know Ashton, and you're no Ashton.
IOW, and to continue your own metaphor: You, bubba, are more like a flea biting the "gorilla" on some insignificant speck of skin somewhere down by the ankle: An irritation, but hardly "taller" or "more effective".
Now. Shut. The. Fuck. UP!
(*): And if it's a *cowardly* arsehole to boot, it carries on the same *conversation* but carefully avoids doing so in the same *thread*, in order to later be able to weasel out of not having kept its promise.
(+): i.e, me. Ook! Ook!
