    There's a lot going on in there! Apd even got an honorable mention. >>>>>>> LOL

    You aren't kidding! It's quite the image. I like it!

    OK, I finally looked. Surprised he left me out. Happy for it though.

    *YOU*, my friend, are the principal player!

    G = Goofy = Snit

    See how your boy, snit lies?

    He sees it. He has for a long ass time. He chooses to ignore it. I've had
    enough of his fish flop bullshit. I will treat him as I have been treating >> snit on usenet. Any Technical advice or help he asks for going forward
    will be provided by others - if they want to take the time. I've already
    proven I know what I'm doing when I helped him out previously. I meant
    what I wrote when I told him to go fuck himself and the horse he rode in
    on.

    He never even looked at the image.

    He might have 'skimmed' it. <g> Not that it matters. He can't comprehend
    what he reads. I wouldn't expect any better of him.

    Snit denies there was a business offering the Snit discount too. Snit
    previously whined about the place being harassed if David wanted to know
    the name of it - I had at one point offered to tell him and invite him to
    call and find out for himself. One would think by now that they've figured >> out I do enjoy being fact checked. I wish I could be a fly on the wall
    when they confirm what I already told them was/is true. I'm very cynical
    like that. Someone else called and verified my claims. I think? it was you, >> but, I could easily be mistaken. I've had a lot of things on my mind these >> past few months.

    Anyways, we both know Snit and David Brooks are trash. And that's not ever >> going to change for the better. They are entertaining though. Like
    watching a slinky going down a set of stairs. <G>

    There is more evidence of you projecting such a discount onto me. Who fixed all your screwups?

    Then why is the topic of a competing business giving customers who have had their computers destroyed by your ineptness posted all over COLA as well as
    in other groups?
    I don't see anything regarding anyone else fucking up.
    Just you snit.
    The evidence is overwhelming as the claims go back many years and long
    before you decided to shit all over ACW.

    :) As for his question...*I* fixed whatever screwups I made over the years. And all but one (more details below) were minor. I didn't cost anyone any hardware or their data by servicing their machine(s)

    In other words, I didn't fuck my clients machines up. - I'm actually a professional multi cert holding technician with the proper training,
    knowledge and decades of hands on experience doing what he can't do. It's
    why I was able to determine what was actually wrong with his computer. I
    don't even run apple based gear. I don't like Apple or their products. His dumbass didn't even know how to get into safe mode - I had to tell the slobbering idiot which keys to press to do that, too. And again, I don't run Apple gear. I don't own any Apple gear. I just work on the fucking things if
    a client brings one or calls for one to be looked at. It's still a computer
    to me at the end of the day with the same components any other has. It's
    just proprietary walled off garden over priced garbage in my opinion. Apple won't sell specific ICs to people like me just to fuck shops like mine over. But! there's other ways of getting your hands on some of them.

    I do service work at the component level when necessary. I'm also proficient on the software side of it. FFS, I've removed Lojack from a laptop that was provided by Rent a center for a client once. I didn't know it wasn't paid
    for. They had it stashed as a collection of OptionROMS. It would
    automatically load and install on a virgin copy of Windows XP if you left
    the machine alone for a few minutes. Nice shit that was. I dumped the system bios, removed the option roms, reflashed the bios image to the machine. Bye bye lojack. In my own defense, at the time, I didn't know the machine wasn't paid for and that lojack had a legitimate reason for being on it. I thought
    it was a form of spyware and I provided the samples I collected to
    BugHunters database. Once I found out, well, it was a bit too late then. It didn't have lojack anymore. It wasn't one with a dedicated IC on the mainboard. It was entirely software based, stashed in the system BIOS as
    Win32 PE executables.

    Then he wanted to argue with me about the options available. He's a fucking idiot on a good day.

    I don't see anything regarding anyone else fucking up.
    Just you snit.

    My biggest fuckup was writing and releasing destructive code in the form of actual computer viruses and worms. I owned up to it, I've tried to make
    things right by releasing and supporting my own antimalware program known as BugHunter. Malwarebytes *cold recruited me* to come work for them as a
    malware expert as a result. I reverse engineered 0day samples and configured the programs database to hunt for them and reverse the unwanted changes they would make to a Windows based PC.

    BugHunter was on BartPE, Hirens, and Geeksquads tech isos (the ones their technicians would use to 'repair' your machine) because I gave it away
    freely for non commercial and commercial use alike.

    The evidence is overwhelming as the claims go back many years and long
    before you decided to shit all over ACW.

    100%
    This is his floodbot story, round (I forget, he's tried so many bullshit stories) all over again. I didn't have a copy of the floodbot in source or compiled form, either. Despite him trying to quote me out of context to support his totally bullshit accusation. He does not comprehend what he
    reads. That's why he assumes things as he does. It's why the 'receipts' he brings that are supposed to back what he writes don't even get close to
    doing so. He has the comprehension level of a fucking toddler on his best days.
