Re: As you well know, old posts are hard to get off SI. So if you want to bluff your way through, I guess you can.
Sure, why not go years back in my past, since I literally haven't posted on SI for years. While you're at it, why not look up all the times I was tardy in 4th grade. I am happy to own up to any wrong statements I have made, but so far, you haven't shown bumpkiss.
Re: But as to "almost validated", you are playing you very old game of "straw man". I never said that. Nor implied it.
I am referring to comments such as these, which certainly do imply "almost validated".
"To boot Windows means everything, with the possible exceptions of floating point and virtualization, is working." #msg-16295018
"If it can boot the OS and run at least subset tasks, then chances are it can run more complicated ones." #msg-16367464
Re: As far as the insults, you were first off the mark on that.
Link please? I don't think I have been in the least bit unreasonable with you. If you want to get into a "he started it" match, go right ahead, but IMO you crossed a line in your last post that I never came near. I am happy to discuss things civilly with you, but I will no longer respond to obvious ad hominum attacks.
