Peter Koehlmann hates everyone. We in COLA believe it's because he's a Linux fanboi who hates himself for earning his money from being a closed source Windows programmer and user. We suspect his career has bottomed out as a result of constantly pushing his Windows SW company to make Linux OSS SW only to find there is no money in it: hence he is ridiculed and laughed at. His outlet for his frustrations and failings is COLA.

He's starting to sound like Jed as he slithers and slimes around in his own excretions.

COLA losers like chrisv detest success of any kind. It's as simple as that.

Right. Why would I not want that? After all, without those, the iPad is basically a oversized iPod. And what is this "not keeping the story straight" thing? It was you fanboiz who tried every trick in the book to obfuscate the fact that your overpriced toy does not even have something as simple and basic as a USB connector -- You're not my type. For that matter, you're not even my species

It's as simple as > that. It would also appear that they should try "walking the walk" before they try to spout any opinion too. For example, a bit over a year ago, I had my USB ports disabled on my Windows PC due to a security issue (Malware auto-run) and I was at the time convinced that it would utterly be the end of the world. It hasn't. Sure, there's been some occasional issues of loss of convenience - - typically, having to go back to burning CD-Rs for sneakernet - - but for the most part, it simply hasn't been as huge of a deal as I was afraid it was going to be. Live and learn. -hh |
