You REALLY are twins it seems ......

And again:

Do you think that my questions are not valid ?

And do you think that not answering them (again) isn't the perfect
amunition for us critics ?
 



The problem is Kronos, you've spent so much time trolling, AOS bashing, and generally acting like an arse, that when you do have proper questions (and even then you seem unable to ask them like an adult) everyone is going to ignore you.

No-one needs to give you guys ammunition, you're only using pretend guns :-P

"acting like an arse" ????

Wow, thats nice !


Just talking straight.  Like the old Catchphrase Gameshow - "Say what you see"

Seriously though it seems some have difficulty when I talk straight, like it's out of character or something.

Yes, have been criticly about OS4 in the past year, and yes I have
never shyed away from telling what I think about all the Hype around
what is and was just trivial parts of the OS, but I also had am awfull
lot of "acting like an arse" directed at me, by normal users AND
official-AInc/Hyperion people, but that doesn't change the fact
that these are the important questions, and that they have sofar
allways been avoided (often by calling the one asking a troll),
by Hyperion when they did have enough time and energy to rave
about a new dock or HDToolBox.


The problem is it goes way beyond that.  There are many people here who will look past the fluff, ask questions and yet still behave like an adult.

You appear to have a deep hatred of all things not Genesi, which goes beyond the point of asking questions.  You don't want to know the answer, you just want to further your own private agenda.

On one level I have an admiration for the fact you are up front about your stance on things (unlike some others).  But on the other hand it just gets tiring.

I'm sure noone would mind an OS4 with 3.9 AmiDock and HDTBox,
but an OS4 without support for the onboard(addons) to the CS-PPC
would/could go nowhere.


That's rubbish, we've already had people complianing that it's "just 3.9".  Lets face it, no matter how good it is there are people out there who are out to slag it off, to preserve their pride.

And about the orginal questions:
I don't see how they could be seen as asked in an unfriendly way
or should I have reworded them to AO-style

"Dear fleecy/Ben/Hans/Thomas, I do now that OS4 will rock and
that you are doing a real good job, could you tell me how much faster
you SCSI-device is than the one done by the evil evile ones ?"

Somehow I think my question were as straight and fair as they
can get, when you are expecting a substantial answer.


I've never noticed AO being like that.  Are you saying that we never get "BBRV your so great, can you tell us exactly how great you are?" style comments?

There are cheerleaders on both sides, the only differnce between them is the colour of thier uniforms.

And to all who thinks I was trolling, I was not. I was being direct, and thats what I honestly believe: to answer someone ten times "we will not answer you" is childliss arguing and total BS.

Don't know if either of the boys actually read the thread and noticed me agreeing with them.. guess it was more important to jump on my throat than read the previous comments.


*Sigh*

And so it goes on.  You could actually just be the bigger person and walk away if you were the kind of person you claim to be.  But no, you HAVE to get the last word in.

So you finally accept that MOS used AROS rather than secretly stolen data tapes that Amiga, Inc had hidden in Merlancia's top-security hideout?


So you are saying that former members of Phase 5 ( who later became the authors of MorphOS) were never given access to AOS 3.x source code by Amiga Technologies (or whatever it was called at the time) in the mid-90s?

I'd love to know, because I've never been given a straight answer on this. Is it just rumour or did it actually happen?

@Hooligan

Yep, all sorted.  That's why i prefer IRC to forums :-)

I've heard so many rumors about it that at this point I can't even keep them straight.  If you're asking me as an employee of Genesi, then you're asking the wrong person for I am not in the development nor the legal departments.  


Fair enough. I'll have to ask elsewhere then.

But this does bring up a curious question in the back of my head:  How much of AROS's source did Hyperion use in order to assist their development of AOS4?  


Oh dear! Now this to me sounds like : -

"Shit! He's onto us! What's that behind you Uncharted? RUN FOR IT LADS!!!" :lol:
