Ticks me off that spam gets through the filter,
and someone responds to it.
How the Cygwin mailing list got that original
message is strange to me.
I think I know.
He'll never come back.
My youngest brother is officially kicked off the internet.
He's been hacking and cracking with my account since 1997.

This guy is sick. Jus t listen to the silly rant he sent to my inbox. I
hope he gets better professional help and that he'll go away.

Look, you have reply-to in your preferences setup so others reply

I don't use the mailing list - I use gmane.org to read it as a
newsgroup. Unfortunately gmane.org doesn't allow me to set the reply
to.
So how is it that I got your address when I did not want it?
I believe it's because Gmane doesn't allow me to set Reply-To to
something other than my email address. As such Reply-To is set to me.
You use Thunderbird to read the Cygwin email list (hey I use
Thunderbird too but I don't think it's worth it for me to have a copy
of everything on the list. IMHO that's why god invented Usenet!) and
you responded Reply All. As a person who doesn't read this email list
as an email list I'm not sure what that's supposed to accomplish.
Wouldn't a simple reply do the same thing?
I read the cygwin mailing from home. Not work.
I don't think it matters what physical location you are in when you
read or respond, just how you read/respond to the message (i.e. email
vs. nntp)
I don't use gmane.org. I use Thunderbird. Its my email client.
I know - I use it too! Just got the 1.0 release. And you?
I guess it picked up on your name when I meant the list, But I did
reply to the list. Check where its going, please.
Oh I don't doubt that it went there though I did not check. My
complaint was that you were replying to the list *and* replying
directly to my inbox personally. I don't need two copies and I don't
want my inbox cluttered up with things I believe would be better
served by a bona fide news server.
I'm using software that's used on all platforms, not just Linux or
Windows.
Really? What other platforms do you use?
I don't want or need Linux. The hardware I have is made for Windows,
in particular, windows xp.
The hardware that I have is made for Windows and runs Linux just fine
- in fact better! I use both Windows and Linux at home and at work (I
used to use HP-UX and even HP/MPE).
Cygwin is the closest I'll ever come to Linux. I have a PVR card. The
only drivers Hauppauge make are for Windows, not Linux.
Sounds like a bummer to me.
I also have a DVD writer. Everytime time I want to make a disk in
Linux, I find the software crippling the system.
Linux, like Unix, is a user friendly operating system - it just has to
determine if your worthy of being it's friend! :-)
I say that in jest. Linux/Unix can be hard to get used to. There are
pluses and minuses for both OSes. On the plus side my Linux system
runs my domain (web, email, mysql, ftp, ssh, etc), is mostly 90% idle,
stays up for months/years at a time and does all of this on a 333Mhz
machine that was given to me. Try that with Windows!
That said you're right, often specialized drivers (usually in the
multimedia field) aren't available or don't work well.
Linux, not Windows. Windows is better suited for an HP Pavilion, not
Linux. Linux hurt my system before. I don't have any of my original
software because of Linux. I hate Linux with a passion. But I will
use Cygwin.
Sounds like you got bitten. Yes with Linux and Unix you can shoot
yourself in the foot. It gives you that power. If not used wisely you
can surely walk away thinking it's no good. But if used wisely...
Yes, I use free software. I program free software too. I believe
software should be free, not commericialized and sold under
copyrights given to a particalar company.
As somebody who makes their living in the computer business, while I
like open source, if everything were open source I would be out of a job.
Redhat sells Linux.
Redhat sells support and packaging. Linux is free.
This right here should tell you who is violating the free software
movement. Why should I pay money for something when I can get it off
the internet?
Do you also work for free? I don't. That's why.
Well, companies have something called budgets. Every company and
household in the world has a budget.
And so do the open source communities such as Mozilla.
I'm all for the free software, but freedom and cost have a price.
Excuse me but why are we debating the open source movement, Linux,
etc? I didn't even know it was related to what we originally were
talking about.
You talk about your mom saying that
