This is my first post here in "god I don't know how long" and I'm already getting flamed. Geese, you would think these MES clowns would outgrow thier 10 year old mentality someday. I guess that isn't going to happen anytime soon.  :rolleyes:

Mmmmm call me crazy but i sense tension.  I have to give credit when credit is due, that article Zombie posted was rather funny.  I do believe Windows 95 would destroy the Iraqi government.  Why would you send them 95 tho?  Why not the mother of all bombs, XPee.

okay. let me remember the last time zombie was around.... oh yeah. he was actually being pretty cool. until everyone unleashed their dogs on him, then he turned back into the zombie we love to hate. fucking drop the grudges people. i am seriousley starting to hate reading this forum. too many "elitist" attitudes and cocky "holier-than-thou" replies. i can say i was doing it to, but enough is enough. i really cant say i will be back here often, which of course is no big fucking deal. we did get rid of him at one point. and honestly, it was quite boring. with him here posting his love for windows, we got a lot of information about linux & open source from people proving him wrong. instead of that, now we have X11 changing his name everyday and the occasional flame aimed at some new guy wanting help. albeit, he shouldn't have asked for help about a MS product on FUCKmicrosoft, but we could sway them towards a better solution. whatever. this place bores me. im out...

panos, i know i haven't seen much of the "trollish" behavior of zombie (when i joined, i saw him keep saying he was going to leave...but that's about it), but i don't see any trollish content in anything he has posted here. relax. if you hate zombie so much, try not to trash the thread by attacking him unless he does, take it up w/ him out of public view because i don't care what you have to say about him.

I would like to apologize to Zombie if I offended him in any way. Zombie, my sincere apologies. Please do post here more often. Looks like that this is what people want you to do.   :rolleyes:  

I would also like to apologize to people if I showed any elitist or cocky attitude towards anyone, which I assure you was not my intention at all.   :(  

PS I've edited, actually deleted, my messages since they were so offending.

LOL pretty funny...
i take it from the little I saw you guys used to flame each other a bit...
If he posts funny stuff like that and keeps all flaming to a civil / when deserved / minimum I see no problem...
Theres obviously no point in flaming a completely non offensive post like that, although I havent seen the original flame...
hello zombie, play nice (eg:no personal attacks) and I have no problem w/ you.     ;)  

edit : same applies to everyone else (eg ; panos) of course. mature technical debates about strengths and weaknesses are ok, flame wars are not so please nobody start one?

I do have to point out that Zombie did provide me some very helpful information.  He told me some things about sound cards that I wasn't aware of.  And now because of that, I finally broke down and got a Soundblaster Live card, because it's a much better choice for audio production than what I had before.  Thank you, Zombie.  (I'll bet you can't believe I'm actually thanking the most hated guy on the forum.  ;)  )

You know, once upon a web page this was a thread on the iraqis and windows...

Besides, they should send in the Longhorn Missiles

A UK RAF Tornado fighter jet was shot down near the Iraq-Kuwait border by a
US Patriot missile killing the two pilots onboard.

US military sources believe a software glitch misidentified the aircraft as
an aircraft of the enemy.

Microsoft have released a patch and urge all registered owners of MS Patriot
Missile Professional to update their software to prevent further malicious
attacks.

Microsoft also reassures personal customers that the home version is not
affected by this glitch.
