I agree. I do feel obliged , still, to give him th eobligatory whack, but
he's not really all that much fun. I mean, he was better than nothing

Because they either don't have the skills, the desire, or the ability to
stay focused on the work.

With thousands of companies making millions of dollars using installations
of nothing but Linux, gcc, emacs, Java, eclipse, MySQL, PHP, Python, and
other free developer tools, it's inane to say that the only reason you
can't get ahead is because you can't afford software.

Oh, I don't think he's trolling. (Not intentionally, at least; I suppose
you could debate as to whether doing it unintetntionally is really
"trollign".) I think he just suffers from a weird combination of posting
style and inability to back down in any circumstances which makes him
inadvertently look much like a troll. The difference is pretty academic,
I'll freely admit.

Yet another lame excuse for why you are a failure.

So says someone without a job and who has to beg for items costing
less than $10 on Amazon.

Did you miss the point that that was for a fraction of a years effort
and those people I paid are working for more primes than just me?

This is just so hilarious; the out of work, broke, loser boy is telling
someone who is actually employing people he can't be employing people
because loser boy can't find a job.

A quick look in the mirror will answer that for you; no marketable
skills and no initiative to take charge of their own life.

Exactly, and all his arm waving about "you can't do anything on a PC"
just reveals he know nothing about real IT or how a team can be
assembled to produce a product.

Oh, but then you would have to do something like download the free
NetBeans package and learn Java (which is in hot demand today), but
since NetBeans doesn't come with Windows, that can't be done.

Apparently not in some areas.

Well, only fromthe trollee's POV, I suppose.

Continuing to make feeble excuses for being a failure is easy,
and is a trait common among stupid people.

Which personal attack would this be?

People who complain about non-existent "personal attacks" tend to
be quite stupid.

In at least one case, the cause is being a whining, feckless, excuse-
making loser lacking the ability to take initiative and do what needs to
be done, instead of posting tedious, whining, off-topic junk to an
aviation newsgroup, while bloviating and lying that the whining loser's
intent on participating in the newsgroup is to discuss aviation.

These traits of such people tend to indicate that they are quite stupid.

Actually, it's a trait common among depressives, especially more
intelligent ones. It's unkind of me, but I don't like having
depressives among my workers, and do all I can to prevent their being
hired, or if hired, encourage (strongly encourage!) them getting
professional help or getting out. A little depression with one guy can
actually reduce the effectiveness of a team. Who needs that? I run a
business, not a social services company.

Holy smokes guys!!!!!!

I went out of town for the July 4 holiday and caught up today with
this incredible psychological thriller! A grad student could write
his Masters thesis on Anthony! (Or maybe someone already has!) I
usually don't get involved anymore but couldn't help but come out of
the Lurker's Closet to say that this is the most fascinating stuff I
have EVER read on the newsgroups! Truly amazing.

And Anthony...I also live outside of Washington DC....not too far from
Mike Ash (who I have never met). Washington is a beautiful city.
While summers can get humid, winters are far from cold. An inch or 2
of snow is a rare event. Excuses, excuses.

OK...I'm going back to my Lurker's Closet now. Pls continue.

Indeed. This summer has been really great so far. I don't think I've
turned on the air conditioning more than half a dozen times so far. You
want to talk about bad climate, I used to live in Wisconsin. Just as hot
and humid as DC in the summer, and tons of snow and ridiculous cold in the
winter.

Whereabouts around DC do you live? Reply by e-mail if you don't want to
broadcast it, I post with my real address.
