Writings, issues and observations from Cleveland, Ohio by Will Kessel

Archive for April, 2007

This man wants you to think he is sober.

He wants you to think he has all the cards.

Take it from a poker player who’s reasonably good at the game: he’s not holding anything. Nothing at all.

Call his bluff: buy a Mac with OS X; use Linux; whatever you do, just *don’t* upgrade to Vista.

If so many people have hacked OS X, why haven’t they hacked my machine? Or my home network? They had the key all along…

Well, wait a minute… they got they key when I was using, ummmmmm… wait a minute… what was that operating system called? WINDOWS?

Now, they don’t have the key, and they won’t, either: I’m using a few OS X tricks that Bill Gates doesn’t want you to know about (that he doesn’t use — or can use) that would fend off a predator before they even *thought* about breaching your computer — or network — or firewall — whatever…

But he doesn’t want to say anything about how Windows automatically responds every time you ping the system from elsewhere on the Internet. Not at all.

What’s worse: he doesn’t want to tell you that you can’t shut the Windows automatic ping response off. Not at all.

This man is on some serious, heavy medications if he believes what he’s telling you; however, you might want to assess your need for similar medications if you believe his crap.

So don’t listen to this guy: he’s obviously living in a fantasy world, else he wouldn’t be putting out such obvious falsehoods, trying to mislead the public that his OS is better.

Those of us with brains — and 20 years of MS-DOS/Windows experience — know better.

My conversion is complete.
