I hope new beginners of assembly language programming read this, and decide to stay away from Rosasm when they perceive how un-businesslike and how non-professional it's main author acts in a public forum. And you won't be able to blame anyone but yourself for you failure.

If you don't find enough junk to fill-up the dumpster, maybe you could include anything ( floppies, CDs, boxes, manuals, etc. ) which has the Microsoft logo attached?

Now, you seem to be all set to install Ubuntu 6.06 on your newer box ( the one you use every day ). If an "unmentionable" OS already exists there, just bomb it. :) Nathan. P.S. - [if my subliminal powers are still working] Now, go build an Ark 200 cubits by 400 cubits. Gather all the animals two by two...

Does thinking about being such a failure disturb you? Or is it your inability to be successful the thing that upsets you? If you want to be a success, you have to start doing *something*. In other words, stop doing *nothing*. What is "pathetic" is that you will not take that step towards being a success. No one will do it for you. And you will have no one to blame but yourself for not taking that step. It's really that simple, no matter how much you try and portray it as something different. In the end, you will be your own worst enemy.

So, if you are confident in your claims to the "RosAsm" trademark, why don't you take Rene to court? You would get the chance to prove to a jury how Rene's distribution of RosAsm somehow delutes your income from a product carrying the same name. Nathan.

If Joe doesn't get root priviliges, who does? Some 'bot that Ubuntu installed? Autoexec.bat has root privileges but Joe doesn't??? Would Windows fly if it didn't allow you administrator access? True, Joe can easily shoot himself in the foot as root - but it's *his* foot! > Advanced Linux users can always re-enable it, like I did, the > first thing after installation. Well, yes, I assume that "George Guru" can figure a way past it. I'm still pretty suspicious of any distro that doesn't give root to the owner of the machine! Best, Frank |
