Well, there are actually people here who either ran wintendo before
switching, or who have a network even at home. I for example have a
network consisting of 2 linux-boxes, 1 OS/2-Warp-box, 1 computer with
winNT4, 1 Laptop with Win98 and the 2 computers of the kids, also running
windows. There is nothing wrong in running windows also, what is wrong is
the way Aaron is lying to us, pretending he runs something else.
Iīm willing to believe that he has a linux-box also, but unless he
*proves* his outlandish claims *and* cares to explain in what way his
security is enhanced by his childish ploy (if it were true, which I donīt
believe) Aaron is simply a lying piece of goat-shit to me.
He can run windows as long as he wants, I donīt care. He just should not
tell us those outlandish claims.

That's just plain dishonesty and, as such is inexcuasble. Donating
Ģ1000000 worth of CDs and calling it as useful as Ģ1000000 is a plain
lie. Yep, the charity organisations are going to be so much better off
for having WinME instead of Win98 (or whatever).

1 Would ever hit on a lesbian? That would be a total waste of time. i
expect most momosexual men have wnough wit to realise that hitting on
hetrosexual men is a total waste of time.
2 According to a friend of mine, it's much easier to pick up a homosexual
man than a hetrosexual woman, so they have to try a lot less. In fact,
it seems to amuse him how hard it is for us.

Oh, of course!
But DDCMP - a very nice example, that - is of course only a fairly small
part of DECnet, and creating a substantially complete implementation is
quite a large task. (I know, I read most of the VAX implementation on the
microfiche...) So having a starting point is still a good idea.
Apropos reference implementation: Of course the various DEC implementations
played that role for DECnet. Independent implementations then found
interesting...ah..."holes" in them...a PC version, for instance, set a
field that should have been ignored (as per the spec) in a certain packet
to -1, which promptly crashed the VAX receiving it.
And MVS and VM had two different implementations of RSCS (the basis of
BITNET), done by two indepedent groups I believe, which resulted in certain
files crashing any MVS machine they happened to traverse when sent via BITNET
(a store and forward network). Of course, RSCS is a resilient protocol, so
when the other side came back again after the crash, the file was resent...

Okay, I am not familiar enough with state laws to know for sure. I
just knew that it was wrong to make him pay for that duration. And
what makes it worse was that she was a very big woman and was
physically abusive to him. I saw her take a phone one day, and as
he was about halfway down the steps she flung the phone at him and
it hit him in the middle of the back dropping him to his knees. He
finally got up and continued walking out the door.
He got it from all angles.
