I attack them for being net leeches upon society. The size of their

Please notice that I said "nice". Motif DnD is much more complex,
and difficult to implement, than Xdnd. Not to mention that, IIRC,
it was not publically documented until a few years ago.

Do you really want me to explain to you why Motif DND is not
as good a specification as Xdnd? Will this make you close
your piehole about DnD, considering you seem to know
nothing about it? (Not that I'm an expert, though).
At least apparently I finally killed your "move Xdnd
into a separate library" crap.

Lier! (just in case you didn't catch this Timmy, I just poked fun at your inability

Your implication that anybody who doesn't subscribe to your

Microsoft's business arrangements are WELL-DOCUMENTED to fail
the "VOLOUNTARY" test.
What's the difference between Microsoft's Extortion and Racketeering,
and Government Extortion and Racketeering?
Answer: Idiots like you who make arbitrary distinctions where
none exist.

Why go to such lengths, when the identical results can be obtained
by getting a simple majority of votes in the US Congress, and NO
requirement for the approval of the several States.
Yes, that is right. Congress can legally select any person, and
sentance them to death. And I have no problem with that.
Why? Because they aren't going to bother unless you're a traitorous
prick on the level of Benedict Arnold.

Are you saying that if a shoplifter preys upon the goods in a certain
store, and that store is still in business at the end of the year, then
the shopowner is not a crime victim?
I suppose that if I shoot you several times with a rifle, but
don't kill you, then you aren't a victim of violence either.
Are you willing to put your theory to the test?
I will GLADLY come out to Livermore, California, and
non-fatally shoot you several times with a rifle, so that you can
demonstrate your true beliefs that one can be harmed by another
party and yet NOT be a victim of that parties actions.

Once again, when I get uncomfortably close to the truth, Loren
attempts to shut down the discussion with a slanderous non-sequitor.
You still have not provided a shred of evidence to counter the
testimony of high-ranking defectors from Soviet Russia.

You left out just a -little- bit:
Free stuff:
Installation of Quicken 98, 99, and 2000 for Windows and Quicken 98
and 2000 for Macintosh (we help you install the program onto your PC
or Macintosh).
Data conversion from prior versions of Quicken to current versions of
Quicken on the same platform (ex. Windows to Windows, DOS to Windows,
or Macintosh to Macintosh).
Product defects that are known to Intuit.
Autopatch downloads.
Registration of Quicken.
View and Pay Bills.
Quicken Quotes server issues.
Does GnuCash offer any of that? Does GnuCash offer even $1.95/minute
tech support?

It's pretty obvious to me - if it's NT or Win2k or BackOffice or
similar productline (ie a business product) it's $35 per incident. If
not, it's free - you only pay toll charges. I've used MS help a time
or two with Outlook 98 and with MS Word 97. Free.
> IOW, Microsoft and Intuit don't want to have your lazy ass leeching

IOW MS has willingly helped me a time or two without any charge, and I
was impressed with their service.
