Enjoy your peddling I.T. services. Would all B so unnecessary if U
actually gave a *** about making things MENU DRIVEN so a NORMAL PERSON

encyclopedia.

Sounds like you have some programming work ahead of you.
Get busy now and maybe you'll have something by 2040 or so.
This is open source freeware created by volunteers you know.
You ain't paying me enough to take your crap or ignorance.

That's what U have reduced yourself 2 - a 'random access code library' -
that's your 'job'. If U made it simple 2 use, like Winblow$, U would put
yourself out of a job ripping people off, & perhaps find a new more
rewarding career making things even more useful - like, hey people might
actually wanna BUY your *** if it were easy 2 use :) & ran Windows aps!
I sure would! Hell I'd pay $300 a pop for an OS that was fast & stable
like BSD, but also FLEXIBLE & EASY 2 use. Oh yeah, & supported the fucking
HARDWARE!

What U got - a few nic cards! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Goes to show you that not all Epiphanies are about revealing reality.
Some are merely false lights leading one down a darkened path.

In Winblow$, the release & bundling of IE was purposely as crippleware,
virus, & bug delivery system 2 trap people into constantly 'upgrading'.
A
simple comparisson of Windows 95 side-by-side with the final Windows ME
&
various IE 'upgrades' illustrates how the supposedly 'new & improved'
stuff
is actually about 1/5 the speed, & about 10X less reliable.

The Ephiphany: A similar crippleware model exists in UNIX & Linux, BSD,
Dragonfly, IRIX, Open VMS, etc! But what is the method of crippling?
The
USER INTERFACE is purposely difficult to use, requiring vast tracts of
arcane code & 'switches' the user is 'supposed' to be able to remember.
The OS Kernels are designed to require constant patching or nothing runs
properly when 'upgrading' softwares. What is the result? Well, the OS
&
applications may be free, but the system administrator type costs are
not.
I have concluded, in a flash of insight, that all of the non-windows
OSes,
save perhaps TRON (which is a Jap OS that is actually designed to simply
WORK - runs most cell phones, anti-lock brakes, etc.) - the function of
most free OSes & softwares is to create a market for engineering
services
to create a functional environment with them.

While even though WInblow$ is crippled & slowed down artificially like
molasses in a 'stock' install, at least it FUNCTIONS. Free operating
systems never do. It's hell even trying to convigure the hardware, on
which
Windows everything in that respect is done automatically.

If a bunch of morons at Micro$hit can make drivers automatically load, &
systems automatically configure, damn sure a bunch of tweaky inventors
at
'god-knows-what-or-another' linux could do it to. Truth is, they simply
have no interest in making things configure easily. It would put the
'sysadmins' who wrote the programs out of a job!

When I approached Dragonfly & BSD about simply offering a menu-driven
interface, like WIndow$, so things could be easily configured &
installed,
those who didn't simply ignore me made a point of laughing at me &
mocking
me. They are simply not even interested in making it easy. They WANT
it 2
B hard 2 use. It is done BY DESIGN!

Sick - but true. Rather like how doctors in America inject people over
&
over with mercury in vaccines, so they get 'disseasses' like 'autism' &
'altzheimers' (just different names for mercury poisoning). Free
operating
systems, on average, are written specificaly to work well once
configured,
but the configuration to be a complete nightmare so as to create a need
for
'system administrator' employees. They write it 2 B a pain in the ass,
2
assure their own job security. Just like M$ writes Windoze 2 B full of
bugs, so they can keep selling the same crap over & over "oh but we
fixed
it this time" - yeah right :)) I am still using the shell from
Windows95.
It's the only stable, AND fast shell that Microsoft has released. Even
their own services like MSN & Hotmail don't use their own ***. THey
use
BSD! & I am sure, over at Hurricane Internet (their subcontractor),
those
BSD guys are happy to spend their days 'configuring' things for a pretty
penny!

HAHAHAHA - the 'unix' geeks R laughing all the way 2 the bank! They're
not
ripping people off via software per se, but 'services'

What the world needs is a single OS that will run all softwares. Short
of
that, at least an OS that will run all versions of Windows software.
The
very first pre-IE Windows95 shell comes very close - few bugs in it, but
relatively minor. It is the best product Microsoft has ever produced.
We
should get together & release a 'toolkit' to upgrade the kernel from
this
early 1995 release, so it will be compatable with things like 'get
special
folders path' and '.net' & other bull*** that 3rd programmers have
written
into their code 2 look 4 in the shell. Basically, take those few
elements
REQUIRED from the last shells, & make a way 2 import only those
NON-crippling functions into the first shell.

'Get special folders path' is a particularly common error, as
incompatability goes. About 1 in 5 new programs expect that 'function
call' or whatever. It is easy enough 2 switch shells while installing
or
using those programs, but it incapacitates the functionality of the
other
kernel things - like being able 2 move vast tracts of files around
without
the whole OS locking up LOL

Oh notice also how if you take Windows98 & upgrade it to the 'latest
greatest' IE, it will lock up the computer even MORE often LOL!!! I
mean,
just trying 2 move some files around- & everything freezes! So people
are
saying 'get me XP NOW!' - haha - if they just put the 95 shell on there,
the fucking machines SCREAM! :) OOOH 30,000 files - can I have some
more?
Oh nice, 55,000 folders - yum!

Yes that is common - I am always moving huge numbers of things around.
I
rip a lot of sites, backup customer systems, etc.

Oh another thing nice would B able 2 read AND write to NTFS compressed
file
system from the 95 shell. Can read using a 'sysinternals' program, but
not
write :( Maybe soon! There is also a program called 'write
everything',
but it is expensive. Reason being U can about double the space with big
volumes of small files using the compression thingy.

It's like most things in the world - the more layers of bull*** U peel
away, the more it's all revealed 2 B a web of scams - vast web of
intricate
scams. I am very anti-scam. I am result-oriented. Like when I
discover
that I can use a 20" diameter tube that costs me $30 instead of an $800
CNC
fabbed cabinet, & the tubular version actually EXCEEDS the performance,
I
stop making the high priced version, not try & keep the superior
solution a
fucking SECRET!

U know, opposite of those oil companies - buying up the rail & mass
transit, so they could DESTROY it, & rip everybody off with cars & gas
they
don't need. It would be nice if more people were solution oriented like
ma'self. We can build a better world.

L8R ~!~
