Everyone else seems to be doing without (and having more fun) so I think I'll take a pass on that nasty logic stuff... I've heard it leads to "truth" and other such fairy-tale locations.


Hmmmm... You don't think logic applies anywhere outside of physics or mathematics....

How interesting. This explains much.

I doubt that Arne would appreciate anyone stating that his endeavours (or endeavors, to the US people...) are not the result of applied logic.

More spaghetti-code, sarf?

I did not call myself a troll. You are misdefining me as such. If I were a troll, I certainly would not choose you as my troll. Therefor, I cannot be a troll regardless of the fact that you are a "troll's troll."

sarf wrote:... I use it to prove my points. You see, it doesn't matter if parts of a post is true, just that some parts are false...


In other words, you don't care what people really say. All that matters to you is what you can select from what they say, out of context, so you can try to prove a point, regardless that said proof is based on false assumptions and inaccurate interpretation of partial data.

What should truly matter is the veracity of your positions, not the excuses for justifying them. But it appears that you really don't give a rip about that. All you seem to desire is to argue with someone about something.

Great! If you have any revelations and start a sect or two that makes a load of money, don't forget your old pal Sarf.

Ah, but programming is based on mathematics, and thus I can weasel out of this one.

Lots of it! But I try not to let it bother me...

So... you are not a troll because you say so. A good point. We all know that trolls always call themselves such.

Yes, and I plan to rule the world using only an apricot and Jell-O, too. Jokes and sarcasm has no place in your world, it seems.

Well, if my position is that "I think this" and your position are "I think that" then we can't "prove" the veracity of our positions, now can we?
I like to argue with people; it makes me feel better about my life since I can come down hard on other people because they use faulty arguments or does not know how to write in their own language (present company excluded). Many thanks for the fixing of the underline style problem in your posts, though - it really got on my nerves!

Sincerely myself,
Sarf.

I'm actually sticking with 0.232 BECAUSE of the political cartoon. Vague, hopeless gesture, I know, but...

Well, there are at least three bugs that make this a questionable idea:

    A hang on exit bug (most often seen on Win9x
    A case insensitive bug where trying to remove certain queue items will hang DC++
    A Search Bug where not all the files that should be searched do get searched


There are neat features too. If you need to, track down the cartoonist's page at http://www.post-gazette.com/robrogers/ and find the cartoon (Jan 25th?) and make it your background.

Now who's re-writing history? It wasn't Chamberlain's England that held the fort (for too long, by themselves) against the 3rd Reich. It was Churchill's England. The catastrophic failure of the appeasement policy helped Churchill gain the PM.


I appreciate that it's beyond your level of understanding but I have to correct you about Churchills England. Churchill's appointment was to the war cabinet and secondly when he did become Prime Minister it wasn't Prime Minister of England but of the UK. England is only one of four countries making up Great Britain or the UK as you will know it. Chamberlain was acting out the instructions of Parliment as the UK was in no fit shape to fight a war with Germany. The Uk declared war after Hitler invaded Poland and would have done anything at that time to avoid it if at all possible.

Where the rest of the World was at that time only God knows? Chamberlain had very few options open to him but war at that time wasn't really what the people wanted. A bit like now I guess?

Yes, it is, and I'm hoping to see another World War from which Sweden will leave as unscathed as we were from the Second World War.


I just have to point this out, but wasn't Sweden Hitler's buddy in World War II? Yeah I seem to recall them (you?) being as big of Nazis as Hitler was. Yeah you had that nice little eugenics program going in the 50's and 60's, what ever happened to that? Run out of people to kill?

Yeah ur right about that, coming as unscathed out of WWIII as WWII. Sweden never puts its ass on the line does it? What's that national saying u guys have? "Just enough", "Never too much", or moderation something..... Yeah Sverige sure is an enlightened country. Find out which side's gonna win and get on that side. If unknown then ignore everything. The Nazis were never really defeated, they just sailed across the Baltic to Sverige!

If I ever become president I'll be sure to keep atleast one submarine with all it's missles targeted on Sverige. Wouldn't want Sverige to miss out when the rest of the world's goin up in a mushroom cloud.

Sorry for rehashing an old thread but I was feelin nostalgic! Plus I can never pass up a chance to get some jabs in at Sweeden. >:)

You haven't been around much, have you? One name proves that all of the above are completely untrue: Richard Stallman. He is highly active in open source, and he is also highly political.


You do realize that RMS is an inveterate ass? Man I hate that guy. That guy is personally responsible for turning me off to GNU. Now I avoid anything to do with that organization whatsoever. GNU is officially depracated and should be considered harmful.
