Everytime deathkoba writes something, everyone gets their panties in a twist. I was right with what I said all along:

1) He doesn't work for a spyware company
2) Most, if not all, of his posts are not to be taken seriously
3) He's a troll

But no, each and every posts he makes, he gets each and every one of you guys hook, line, and sinker.

Oh, it was hilarious. It's hilarious that you guys get your knickers in a twist over deathkoba. It shows that you just don't learn.

Heh... there was an old VW print ad with one of their buses and the text beneath it said "Somebody actually stole one" :p

deathkoba, keep on trolling and I think the mods will end up getting the last ownage on you.

what does ITT stand for?

and trolling is not cool. Can't we just have a intelligent conversation about spyware popups in Windows?

there is a big difference between the following 2 statements:

1. Mac OSX rocks! There is no spyware or popups!
2. Mac OSX is bulletproof. There is no possible way for it to get spyware and popups!

Obviously, the latter statement is completely false, while the first statement could be considered true.

Well, probably nobody hears about Macs getting hacked is because it's a rare occurance due to the Mac : PC ratio, not its security. Not that I'm knocking Macs, I hate them passionately, but they have good security.

Well you said something that people assumed to be true without getting confirmation from you that you were either joking or serious. Even though you later contradicted the initial statement, people still take the worst possible solution (your initial statement) and run with it.

Do you or do you not work for a company for which "spyware" is written?

From reading his original thread, its pretty obvious that he was pretending to work for a spyware company so people would think he "knew what he was talking about"... not realizing it was going to backfire in his face. He's just a shameless attention whore who wishes someone would take him seriously.

I think you totally misunderstand me. I basically write bad parodies in 80% of my posts since I am sitting at my home office bored. Do you think I really care about my post's repercussions? Whether I do or not, I'll leave that up to your imagination.

I'll tell you straight up -

I don't write spyware and I am not a "Mac fanboy," although I've owned several of them including the recent Mini which I've already sold. I am not schizophrenic either which some of you may have believed. I'm just your average guy who enjoys life, guitar, women and have a sense of humour that visits odd tangents which not too many seem to get. I will continue to post idiotic posts in this forum and watch their responces as it is my form of entertainment and time killer. I will also keep continuing to post helpful responces as well and will post questions of my own too.

Lighten up and don't think you've pwned me for anything as I find that funnier than my own posts.

Usually I don't like cliff notes, but here goes.

Paragraph 1: I don't know what I'm talking about 80% of the time, but I slept in a holiday inn express, so I feel the need to act like I do. Oh, I'm also angsty.

Paragraph 2: blah, blah, blah...
