Anyone have the stats on how much power the normal computer uses?

[DarkMatter]

It is indeed cause to wonder when someone who claims to have
been using Usenet that long says they've always top posted and
never saw it any other way or heard any complaints. That is
utterly ridiculous!

Very much so. He must have been over at Rusty and Eddie's most of
the time.

And it is all the more foolish given that
we all have access to the google archives and can go *look* at
how it was being done "13+" years ago.

I didn't even have to look.

I just now took a look at about 50 articles from the first few
months of this group's existence in 1995. 1 top posted article,
and that was a 1 liner, quoting only 3 lines of text and telling
the guy he was in the wrong newsgroup.

I then went back to 1990, and pulled up a dozen threads that had
more than 10 articles. Not a single article that I saw used top
posting.

In fact, one can search for "top posting" or for "bottom
posting", and discover that *neither* of term was even used
(with the meaning we are talking about) on Usenet until about
1997, and didn't become common until 1998... which incidentally
coincides with Microsoft finally having discovered The Internet
and we became plagued with people using Outhouse Express under
the mistaken impression that it was a newsreader...

E X A C T L Y !!!

It is Billy's fault, for sure, but the mentality of Billy's user
base's mean aptitude must be considered as well.


Some don't even know what cursor keys are, or do. Some don't even
know what the word "cursor" means.

Incidentally, I've been on Usenet a bit longer than any 13
years, and what I found on google's archives confirmed exactly
what I remembered. I don't think Col is a retard, nor simply
mistaken either. He's a liar.

They just want to poke at me. I came back to MACTARD's post, he got
pissed, and subsequently puppy dogged every post I had made that day.

We all know what kind of troll THAT is.

No. I make NO consolation for idiots that insist on posting in a
forum in which they refuse to find out a damned thing about.

Billy should be publicly stoned.

 

[DarkMatter]

Do I detect a "Troll Tagteam" here? On one side we have "Floyd The Bear
Humpin' Anal Retentive" and "Dark The Retard Baby Bullshit Usenet Plonkin
Fecal Matter" versus anyone who does not conform to their wishes?????

You are the troll, you stupid little bastard. Since you entered
this thread, you have puppy dog posted behind every one of my posts.

In fact, you have done that very thing to me, ever since I first
railed your lame ass about your posts, and you did change to bottom
posting. It is obvious, however, that you still don't know why.

 

[DarkMatter]

Sorry floyd but when did I say or imply "says they've always top posted
and never saw it any other way or heard any complaints" I said, to quote

Do I really have to show you your own post?

 

[Ross Mac]

boy???


Find them, you lying ****! Like I said. I made one plonk. It was
you. You are too goddamned retarded to even back up your own lying
bullshit.

Your post's speak for themselves! If you plonked me then why do you see my
posts????...Errr...you changed your pitiful mind?...I suppose saying that
you have a mind is an oxymoron isn't it?......Bong on tard boy!

 

[DarkMatter]

In the military!! You couldn't make through the military no sooner that you
could make it through the engineering school. Did you learn all those words
from you moms "clients"?

I was in and out of boot camp in '78. Probably before a twit like
you even got to high school.

Also, if you had as big of balls to tell me where you are as you do
in bad mouthing my mom, I'd come feed them to your lame ass...
Till you choked on them.

BTW... I was a nuke, retard boy.

 

[DarkMatter]

It's FecalMatters one page dictionary!....If he was in the military he would
have been fragged and we wouldn't have to read his vitreolic posts!......

Are you in first year troll school, or is that the graduate grade
stuff?

 

[Ross Mac]

Do YOU build CRTs, you retarded ****? NO.

I do.

Gee FecalMatter...I thought you told me in another post that you were the
inventor of buried capacitance in circuit boards and the designer of servo
systems and now you are a CRT builder ..Ah an assembler...I always new you
were full of it...so what is it.ya toothless, bicycle pantsed, drugged out
pinhead!....CRT's, Servos, PCB's....Tell us all oh expert of all!

 

[Ross Mac]

Look in the mirror Troll boy...and have another bong!

 

[DarkMatter]

Sorry.
I understand where the missunderstanding comes in now.
You seem to think I give a **** what you think.
This is very wrong.

That does not make you any less a lame, retarded, know nothing about
anything, Usenet retard.

In a right world, we would kick ban your lame ass, or just plain
KICK as in with real boots.

You're a goddamned retard to think everyone does it just like your
LAME ass does.

The conventions are such that anyone, regardless of their news
client, can read the news. Sad thing is that even THAT simple concept
is to much for a simple twit like you to grasp.

Scary thing is that you claim to work in my industry, and also claim
to be knowledgeable therein. You are not.

 

[DarkMatter]

I still vote for top posting.

I vote for removing non-compliant, retarded fuckhead idiots like you
from ever posting, anywhere.

That's where you lost your teeth....boot camp?

 

[DarkMatter]

Of course not. His mother couldn't have had enough "clients"
(it's amazing she had *one*). Look at your taxes, and that's
where you'll find the source of the DimBulbs.

What's your address? Ahhh come on... You've got the balls to give
it, if you've got the balls to mouth my mom.

Come on, retard boy... post your location, so I can come have a
drink... over your corpse.

Well, peckerwood....as I have to continually remind you...."READ THE POSTS"
If there was ever a troll....you be under the bridge "dick with ears"!

posts????...Errr...you changed your pitiful mind?...I suppose saying that

More reading comp skill problems? READ THE POST. I said it right
there. It was a test.

In fact, there are no entries in my filter file.

You're a goddamned retard, boy. Nothing you do will ever change
that.

The drugs are kicking in tonight I see.....

 

[Ross Mac]

You need to learn to read threads, dipshit. You are lost.

Blow smoke peckerhead.....but as I have to tell you in many a thread..."Read
The Posts"...and put down the bong FecalMatter!

 

[Ross Mac]

I vote for removing non-compliant, retarded fuckhead idiots like you
from ever posting, anywhere.

I vote for your extermination....or at least a sock in your sorry mouth
DontMatter!

 

[DarkMatter]

Our firm sell many products. Drug sniffers, bomb sniffers, PMTs
missile launch detectors, High Brightness monitors, Geiger counters,
electrostatic chip wafer chucks, piezo drive amplifiers, high voltage
supplies with PCB formed caps in the multiplier. Our products go into
many things, like satellites, weather balloons, jet fighters, etc.

You are just too goddamned retarded to know that some people do more
than one thing. You , on the other hand (the one down your pants) can
only do one thing. Jack off. Jack off for real, and jack off at the
mouth. Yep... yer a real prize... NOT!

In fact, the LAST time we argued over this, I posted pictures of the
CRTs while in assembly, but you are too retarded to have looked or
remember, I'm sure. They go into every "steady-cam" outfit that
Hollywood and other film makers use, all around the world. The
earlier versions of which had gyro servos on them. They are all
cantilevered now.

$5000 each for a ruggedized 5 inch diagonal display that was
originally used in fighters. $70,000 for the steady-cam outfit, and
that is without the main film camera, which are hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Currently we're working on a voice / data link for
inclusion into the military's PDA device, which is coming down the
line.

You know so little about it, you make me laugh. You remind me of
the girl we interviewed last week to help me in the engineering lab.
She was a "technician". She couldn't even draw a diagram of a diode.
She wanted $19 an hour. She didn't make the mark.

You are "oh expert" of not a goddamned thing, old man.

 

[Ross Mac]

Could you be any MORE retarded?

This is not about opinions, retard boy. It is about conformance.

You stop at red lights because if you do not, you will cause an
accident, or get cited for it. We do it, because that is how it gets
done. It's called convention.

You follow usenet protocols, because THAT is how it is to be done.
Convention. If you ignore them, then we should all ignore you. The
more perfect solution would be if you lame fucks could get an ass
kicking, and a big sign plastered on your face to remind you what THAT
particular ass kicking was for, because dipshits like you would be
getting them, all the time.

You cannot possibly make ANY claim to manhood while sporting such
serious character flaws, dipshit. Then, you sound just like the
little adolescent dweebs do when THEY get called on it...

" I like reading it from the top...." " I don't like scrolling
down..." ya fucking retards!


More clues as to your maturity level, or lack thereof. You fall in
at NIL.

What a fool...you compare stopping at a red light to top/bottom/snippet
posting!!!!!..That's as close to a Moron as you have probably gotten! You
quote conformance.....what a joke...you think you are going to conform the
entire Usenet to you and your butt buddy Floyds wishes? Keep barking you
four legged bastard!.....Nobody gives a damm!
