Re: XP: Cool feature with a weakness

I was wondering when you would try to come to Steve's "rescue".

There was never a need for a 'rescue' as Steve was never in strife!

Yeah, Wally, about now, when Steve has completely backed himself into a
corner with his lies, you come over the hill in the nick o' time....

Lies are lies Snit! there is no "nick o' time" that can change that! the
simple fact is that you can not demonstrate any lies from Steve...it's that
simple!

but you make no more sense than he does and your lies are just as
transparent!

And yet just as your accusations about Steve I wager you will not demonstrate
one lie from me!

You, of course, babble more than he does, but that is the closest thing you
have to "style". Regardless, the facts stay the same:

I am right: it is not a good thing for a non-admin user to
be able to mess with other users on either OS X or XP...

As I said previously your changing to emphasize non-admin accounts as
opposed to your OP proves Steve's prediction to have come about!

at
least in some cases on XP this does happen (stock standard
Dells, for example) but there is no reputable example of
this *ever* happening with OS X.

The feature that Steve mentions is there for a good reason, whether anyone has
used it and shut down leaving the feature enabled for the next person who may
not want it is frankly immaterial, the point being made is that it 'could'
happen!

If, however, some Macs
have the flaw you claim they do then, yes, I would note it
as a flaw... there simply would be no reason not to.

I do not claim to have mentioned any 'flaw' it seems perfectly reasonable to
me that if I set up my monitor to White on Black then I expect it to remain
that way until changed, why you expect it to revert to Black on White after a
restart?


In the course of the debate Steve spewed all sorts of trolling. It is
detailed more elsewhere, but a decent summary would include Steve having:

It is contained in 'your' post Snit that IMO automatically disqualifies it
from being considered a "decent summary'!


* Lied about my views on video cards
* Lied about my knowledge of shortcut keys
* Lied via falsely attributing quotes to me
* Taken quotes out of context and spewed them as if they had meaning
* Made BS accusations about drugs
* Asked for apologies for some comment he cannot point to
* Got confused as to what OS is being referenced
* Tried to tell me what my "gripes" are
* Dishonestly "translated" what people have written
* Dishonestly and repeatedly snipped and ran
* Repeatedly posted with sock puppets and started trolling threads
* Asked for my advice and failed to thank me when I gave it

Yup! told you so!

And you, Wally, it can be completely predicted, will not call Steve on *any*
of his BS,

For two reasons...
Because I have called you on yours! and I have detected no BS from Steve!

I will have absolutely no problem disagreeing with Steve if ever I have a
different opinion than him on something, because I have no doubt that his
opinion will be based on solid reasoning, whereas with you ....well look at
this reply from you for example you are completely unable to respond in an
honest way to one single point that I put to you ...not one!

but *will* spew all sorts of BS such as when you try to pretend
that in context a "user account" and a "non-admin" account are somehow not
synonymous!

Simply because of your own words Snit....

"Here is the weakness: I can change the orientation from my user
account, even a non-Admin, and the orientation will stay altered even
when I log out... " - Snit

"... from my user account, even a non-Admin,.."

Clearly you are indicating rightly so that that they are/can be different
types of account therefore you cannot claim them to be synonymous as one
would by definition have to suggest the other, that simply is not the case
as a users account may or may not be a non-admin one!


No thanks, Wally... I have already grown bored with Steve's BS on this
topic... he has, as he always does, humiliated himself and piled lie on top
of lie. If you have nothing of value to add, which you almost surely do
not, do not expect me to give you as much attention as I just give your
buddy co-troll Steve.

The humiliation is yours in you making this post but not being able to
counter one single point that I put to you previously!

PS: when are you going to suck your other co-trolls into the fray... you
know the "professional" web designer who needed my help to figure out how to
validate his CSS and the moron who thought the tilde meant "the hard drive
only" and claims sex and incest are, to him, identical?

See what I mean Snit.....so sad!
The only good thing from your point of view must be that when someone says
'how the mighty have fallen' you can be confident that they are not
referring to you! as far as I can remember you have always been down where
you are. :-(

Um, Wally... with all your nit picking, lying, claims that you are blind to
Steve's dishonesty and your other long winded babbling you forgot to really
make any meaningful point other, perhaps, than to show you are trying to be
as stupid and dishonest as he is.

In the end my view does not change one whit:

it is not a good thing for a non-admin user to be able to
mess with other users on either OS X or XP... at least in
some cases on XP this does happen (stock standard Dells, for
example) but there is no reputable example of this *ever*
happening with OS X. If, however, some Macs have the flaw
Steve claims they do then, yes, I would note it as a flaw...
there simply would be no reason not to.

I seriously doubt you or your co-trolls will be able to change my mind on
that... no matter how much you troll and lie. Good luck trying!
