Atleast he's only writing about it. He didn't go out of his way to
do it though. You have. With Clamxav for David Brooks - but you
didn't just share how to defeat the free trial marker and use the
program with all features enabled without paying a dime for the
life of the program - pirating it. You provided step by step
instructions to David via usenet in the clear so that anyone else
who wanted to cheat the author could do so.

Or are you going to deny you did this Snit? We would very much
enjoy it if you did. Would you like to guess what our followup
post will contain if you do? :)

Because your actual programming knowledge and ability is to modify
or use pre existing code with severe limitations. You don't know
how to write your own rot13 encoder-decoder from scratch. Its
*easier* to write than AZ as was provided by Gremlin - and all of
us have seen what a clusterfuck of a hard time you had
implementing it. Jesus. You're thick! Yes we've read those
threads now too. We learn more about you everyday
Michael.

So about your socking accusation. Any chance you will support it
with evidence? You know what evidence is don't you? We
demonstrated a real world use of it when we outed you socking as
Sigmond - and since we did that to you, others have stepped
forward with more of your socks names.

Yet nobody else aside from you in the decades Gremlin has posted
to usenet has ever accused him of socking. Nobody with
credibility that is. Just you and the remailer. Neither of which
are credible. That being said we again invite you to support the
sock accusation you continue to make against us.

Since you didn't start accusing us of being a Gremlin sock until
after we busted you socking as Sigmond and you had no way out -
we are confident even you know your accusation is bullshit but
you need to shift the subject away from you getting busted
socking up as Sigmond and others according to yet more posters
who know you and have nothing nice to write about
you.

You lie your girly welfare mooching ass off on usenet all the
time. As most of us (try not to confuse most for all as you did
the word majority illiterate one) are federal tax payers it
sickens us to know we work our asses off in real trades everyday
so that pieces of shit like you can troll on the internet all day
and night. Using the very internet service we (not you you lazy
non working little fuck) pay for. And hardware we pay
for.
And food etc we pay for. We even have to pick up the tab for your
kids since you and wife refuse to get jobs and be responsible
self reliant parents. When your daughter gets knocked up we (not
you) will have to pay for that too.

You are a true piece of shit snit and a waste of federal
resources. You're a mooch and a fucking troll.

>To me having that ability to add things to apps or to otherwise streamflow workflows is more important than specs.<

Since most of us in the group are coder level programmers we just
add whatever we need by writing the code for it. We don't need to
rely on the OS to coddle us. Or make icons for us to click to run
a script or built in console command. Decent coders can add
functionality to a compiled or assembled program without needing
the original source code. You heh well obviously
not.

>How the fuck can you need to ask someone if you're involved in an explosion?<

Welcome to a flaw in snit logic. Gremlin didn't write the post
snit is writing about. We did.

Snit has accused us of being a Gremlin sock - we've invited him to
post the evidence supporting his accusation. To snit that meant
he would just continue to repeat it. In snits mind. Thats what
evidence means.

Snit didn't accuse us of this until we busted him socking up as
Sigmond and provided actual evidence to help us prove our
accusation. We caught him using the same IP address posting as
Sigmond as he did with Snit. He didn't even deny he made both
posts until we specifically pointed out the fact we found the
posts shared the same ip in plain sight in the headers. Once we
grilled him good and tore both of his explanations for this so
called ip forgery (hah yep on usenet with known servers that
werent compromised) he started accusing us of being a sock of
Gremlins.

We know enough about you to know that like snit you dont earn an
income. You're also mooch and like snit very well known as a
troll. But you're different in the sense your not a harmful troll
whos out to fuck people over. You just do it for kicks. We get
that. Snit on the other hand is a real life dangerous
narcisist.

>Wouldn't it be obvious?<

It should be. But this is snits story so the gaping holes in his
"logic" are the reason he wrote what he did. Gremlin hasn't
posted since June of this year. Snit has spent the time to
continue badmouthing him every chance he gets. He really is that
*jealous* of Gremlin.

Gremlin didn't post anything. We did. We again invite you to
support your socking accusation snit. We supported ours when we
called you out for socking up as Sigmond.

>Gremlin is not the sharpest tool in the shed, no matter what name he posts under.<

On Gremlins *worst days* he can still mop the floor with you on
*any tech subject* with fuckin ease. Any of us can.

Gremlin only posts under one handle and he hasn't posted here
since June snit. So again we invite you to backup your latest
accusation towards Gremlin.

Yes snit, we're mostly just asking you the same thing over and
over again knowing full well you can't support this accusation
either.

We know its yet another bullshit accusation from you about
Gremlin. It's literally no different than the accusation you made
about him having the floodbot itself. You lied then too. And like
that bullshit story you've been busted and still continue doing
it. You wrestle with reality, Snit.

You lie all the fucking time.
And whats this bs about you having a high IQ? Snit. Girlyman. You
need to *stop lying* about yourself and others. It's an absolute
fact that you are a socking troll as well as a habitual liar.
You're a narcisist snit and you fuckin well know
it.

>Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity.<

Is that why you're still attacking someone who hasn't posted here
since June? Makes sense.

Is it the same reason you've been visiting the phonebook urls the
floodbot shares for search engine seeding one of Gremlins cells?
You know leaving comments like this:

shares which allow it.

From a url the bot sometimes shares in its signature.

Snit ? 02 Dec 2020

Called saying from Microsoft Tech support. Clearly a lie.

Theres several more. Claiming to have been written by some other
posters. Likely all actually snit. Someone goofed and partially
exposed their IP address in another.

Was that the reason you did that snit? You're all about trying to
trash Gremlin online. Snit do you know what the legal definition
to libel is? We know hh once threatened to have a lawyer teach
you the meaning.

We're going to advise Gremlin to consult with one about you and
some of your efforts to have his reputation harmed with
intentional effort on your part to seed search engines with lies
you specifically wrote about him. Attacking him via handle is one
thing but you've associated his real name with the same lies
you've written about his handle. Freedom of speech does have a
responsibility attached. You can't knowingly publish false
information or stories about someone. That's libel and you can be
held financially accountable for it. Even when you collect a
disability check, Snit.

Wouldn't that be some shit. Gremlin comes back reads your shit
about him saves copies with full headers goes and sees a lawyer -
next thing you know blocknews is served with papers demanding
they turn over your account details and log activity to match up
to your snit posts as required when submitting digital evidence.
Snit, he doesn't have to go far to get a lawyer. He can ask one
of us. :) yes you dumbshit troll - atleast one (Maybe more) of us
is a state board certified practicing lawyer. We did tell your
stupid ass when we arrived that we fully intend to roast you
little man. We meant it. We are here to do just that.

>They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.<

Is that why you continue to try and attack us weakling? You are so
fucked girlyman. So fucked. We can get you via legal and not so
legal (but loads more fun) ways shit for brains. Keep digging

Snit. Diesel isn't a sock of Gremlins. It's an old handle he used
for the purposes of making things more difficult for the remailer
who revealed they had newbie level usenet search
skills.

Would you like to try again girlyman?

>You know what we mean you sock using asshole.<

We aren't mind readers. And even if one of us was - snits is far
too over self medicated on benzos and booze for us to read
his.

Sock more Snit - you have no reputation thats worth having to
lose. No amount of sock army support is going to change that for
you.

Go ahead and waste another of your daily limit post count as we
continue to kick your ass with our far superior understanding -
and use of - sarcasm.

If you're after a PC-like experience with a homemade Mac (aka

However, there are plently of online communities that are all about
hackintoshes with plent of success stories.

You never asked for evidence and I therefore didn't provide it. However,
I know how this works with a leftist and without reading your next few
posts, I predict that you will question the source because that's what
you "liberals" do whenever someone provides said evidence.

In the same way that using glyphosate on weeds or medicine to treat a
headache will result in the weeds becoming stronger and the body
becoming resistant to the medication, the "vaccine" has created a virus
which is now resistant to "protection" provided. We alredy knew that
today's medication was becoming increasingly useless for the diseases
they were meant to treat; what did we expect would happen if we created
a "vaccine" for something like a flu which the world's medical system
has never been able to eradicate? Flus mutate and so would COVID-19 so
as you imbeciles pump yourselves full of chemicals thinking that you are
outsmarting a virus, you are doing nothing other than strengthening it
and therefore _creating_ the delta variant. Here is a medical research
paper essentially saying that the delta breaks through defenses
<https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34268529/>

I'm sure you'll provide some fake news to dispel that but I'm not
interested in the mainstream media's interpretation of the data and will
ignore all of the "evidence" you provide.

My emotion tells me you're all worrying about something insignificant.

Biggest cause of death in the world - Malaria.

Why would you expect a lack of guns to help with those? It helps with the most easy way to kill someone. I can't knife you from a distance.

In 1991, I had a 386 SX (no maths co processor) 16MHz with a 14" colour monitor doing 16 million colours at 1024*768. I very soon added a 1MB Cirrus Logic GPU for games, the Trident that came with it was slow as hell.
