Who do you think you are kidding, flatfish Gary Stewrat?


Kidding?
The only person I see in this thread who is trying to kid people is
you.
The others have posted their likes/dislikes about Linux and unlike
you, they are not wrong 100 percent of the time.
Your accusations of being flatfish Gary Stewert are getting old BTW.
You've never had a single shred of evidence to support your false
claims.
So why not just go back to BAU, being wrong 100 percent of the time?
It seems to suit you well, Peter Kohlmann.


OK, for those who have not seen how incredibly wrong and absurd Peter tends
to be - just some of his comments... and as far as I know he has never
admitted to being wrong about *any* of these:

Peter Köhlmann, responding to Sir Slimer:
-----
| Anyone who gets upset that Windows or OS X uses ideas first
| showcased on GNU/Linux don't understand the GPL license at all,
| it seems.
"Ideas" have nothing to do with GPL, you imbecile Snit
-----

https://stallman.org/photos/china/2000/ms_oss.html
-----
But the ideas and logic of the GPL cannot be found in the Open
Source Movement. They stem from the deeper goals and values of the
Free Software Movement.

The Free Software Movement was founded in 1984, but its
inspiration comes from the ideals of 1776: freedom, community, and
voluntary cooperation. This is what leads to free enterprise, to
free speech, and to free software.
-----

The "ideas and logic" of the GPL are tied to Stallman's views (as twisted as
they can be) of "freedom, community, and voluntary cooperation." The GPL is
about allowing others to use the ideas found in your IP. To claim ideas have
nothing to do with the GPL shows you do not understand how and why it was
developed.

DVD Playback
DVDs are usually encrypted with CSS. CSS is not a codec. In any
case, here is some information on playback of encrypted DVDs. All
media players use libdvdcss2 in order to playback these encrypted
DVDs. libdvdcss2 is not available in the official Debian
repositories.

| Even commercial dvds??
Yes. That has worked since ages
------

Peter Köhlmann claims that DVD playback works out of the box for Debian -
and has for "ages" - even though the reality is it not only does not work,
the Debian Wiki states that that the needed codec is not even available in
their official repositories.

Peter Köhlmann, in reference to that Qt library bug:
-----
That stupid clown Snit Michael Glasser has not the tiniest of
clues who is to address with that "bug" ... It isn't a Qt widget
that incompetent "computer expert" is complaining about, it is a
KDE widget
-----

Peter Köhlmann claims Christoph Feck of the KDE team says things which prove
he is "incompetent" and "has not the tiniest of clues who to address with
that 'bug'".

And what a surprise: Not a single Msg-ID supplied by that liar
Snit... Because *if* he did supply Msg-IDs, anyone could see that
he has doctored the posts. ... He would be shown as the imbecile
liar he really is
-----
Peter distances himself from his own statements saying a Msg-ID is
needed to prove he is an idiot. Done, with links. What excuse will he
make next? A claim to kill filter me so he can pretend to not see this
list is my guess!

Except there are no "700 duplicative Linux distributions"
It is (at most) about a dozen. The rest is special purpose, and
not for the general usage on the desktop.
-----
From http://distrowatch.com: "The bewildering choice and the ever
increasing number of Linux distributions can be confusing for those who are
new to Linux."

Excellent screencasting software, similar to ScreenFlow. And
example of something I find key to its use:
http://youtu.be/To4v70huwAU. What OSS tool on desktop Linux
has anything even close?
-----
Peter Köhlmann:
-----
There are several more. Look up "Istanbul" for example or
"Byzanz", or "Cankiri" The list can grow quite a bit, but
these are the most used ones
-----
No program Peter pointed to does the task shown in the video. Peter
never found *any* way on desktop Linux.

Peter Köhlmann:
-----
In fact, there are at least 3 programs for screencasting which do
either without exception *all* he "needs" or can do it combined
with others
-----
| You have spoken of three programs.
No, I have not. Your incredibly bad reading comprehension is
rearing its ugly head again,
-----
Both of those quotes come from the same day and the same thread and were
stated in that order. In another thread on a previous day Peter gave the
names of three screen recording programs: Istanbul, Byzanz, and Cankiri.
None of those, nor any set of programs, has ever been shown to do what Peter
claims can be done on Linux.

Peter did also admit "they have to supply the source too if they want
to distribute the code". He never acknowledged his completely
contradictory claim was wrong.

They are not even remotely "similar". Neither in usage nor in
behaviour. If you had /any/ clue whatsoever you would know that.
-----
It is not as if they are the same, but they clearly share many
similarities. Peter does not even know the basics on this topic.

Peter Köhlmann, after being shown these videos:
http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/PrintFirstTime.mp4
http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/FirstScan.mov
Both show an OfficeJet Pro 8600 after being connected to a network and
being used for the first time on a Mac. And it works very, very well.
-----
Scanning [on OS X] is not supported *at* *all* without jumping
through several hoops. This includes hunting down 3 different
software packages (libusb, sane-backend and sane) *and* installing
them. Out of the box no scanning is supported at all. This is in
stark contrast to linux where scanning is supported right from the
start after setting up the printer

The same is true about *all* OfficeJet Pro printers under OSX.
-----
LOL! Yes, after being shown how an OfficeJet Pro works without doing
*anything* extra Peter still makes these completely incorrect claims.

of all time. He knows nothing usefull about computing.

The video, of course, shows things other than just standard X
behavior. Peter never showed any understanding of this.

You have to tamper with the permissions to have it different. And
for that reason DFS claims are simply bull****.

I can't duplicate the "problem" on any machine here.
-----
Since "Lost+found" is not created with the sticky bit at all, it
should not exhibit the behaviour DFS claims. And I can do whatever
I want with it on my systems (on all of them), it certainly does
not behave in any way near that way claimed

Clicking OK will restart the volume, even if no settings were
changed. Changing this setting does not require the volume to
be reinitialized; data is preserved.

Peter Köhlmann:

So You call having to reformat a drive in order to have that
feature "choice"? Really?

Peter thinks "restarting" a volume reformats it even though it is
specifically stated no reinitialization is done and data is preserved.

No, it is technically bull****. Nobody wanting to be taken
seriously as being competent would *ever* use such an idiotic
