A Utilities Package I wrote: 5-5 star rated @ZDNet

A Utilities Package I wrote: 5-5 star rated @ZDNet for Windows²ººº you all might like! apk

You guys strike me as HIGHLY technical users of NT/Windows²ººº, and I wrote this mainly for guys like you to extend the OS with Graphical tools not present in it, and also Graphical alternatives to MANY commandline tools in it (as well as exposing alot of "hidden tools" in Windows²ººº for your use for TOTAL system control!)
Here is the URL to it @ZDNet:

http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/topcat/otherutilities.html

* That's where it's been rated 5-5 stars & has been in their Top50 "Other Utilities" section (competing against the "Big Boys" like Microsoft & Symantec, the ones I cannot seem to rate higher than... lol!) & has stayed for 6 months in the Top 15 at the lowest... was up to #4, but tough to stay there! It's at CNET too, but I like the ZDNet sites... VERY fast!

P.S.=> Enjoy... apk

It also earned me a large bonus, PLUS it stopped an 18 month HUGE system programming project (migrating FoxPro apps to VB6 apps + Crystal Reports using Oracle 7.3 on Sun Solaris as the backend data engine) that had MILLIONS invested in it... techno-breakthru before we started moving from what I call "2.5 tier" apps using Citrix to TRUE 3 tier DCOM ones!

It's very clever how the real APK got around all that tricky copyright nonsense by just making the "2000" in Windows 2000 a superscript.  If only Steve Jobs had thought of that!  ;)

Well, there was this guy "APK" (Alex P something) who registered on ars technica and posted in the NT/2k forum, basically, with the very post you see above.  

The ars regulars shrugged, welcomed him to the board and asked him perhaps if he could not spam so much.

His response was to insult anyone and everyone because they had not written such a great program (5 stars on ZDNet!!) and said insults got really really nasty.

Ars veterans shrugged and gave him more serious warnings about unprovoked personal attacks.  He continued the unprovoked personal attacks, going completely postal.  I think Caesar either had a chat with him or banned him or both.

Anyway the "APK" registered here is just an affectionate clone of the original.  In fact I prefer him to the original.  :)

Oh yeah, I know.  I am just slightly horrified by this current incarnation.

The original name he registered was Alec Staar.  He JUST posted in a thread in NT + 2000 about Citrix and 100 % processor usage.  GO LOOK NOW!  IT RULES!

The sig he's using is the one I suggested for him.

Wow, APK versus PeterB and MWNH flaming each other in the NT forums!  

That was a great thread.  Thanks for the link, here it is for those of you who are interested:

APK,

I've seen better code written on the walls of a bathroom than that fat bloated pile of nerd-dung that you've been spouting about.

It looks like a first semester programming assignment where the student is a woman, dislexic, and a paulsy.

Muave could probably code better than that!

My God man!

What a useless pile of complete excrement!

You should go write for Apple.  That's where we keep the incompetents like you.

rofl!

I've found something I really like about this board.  The reply page automatically shows the last page of messages that you are replying to, so you can just cut and paste right from the page to quote.

But what I've just discovered, is that you don't even have to cut and paste!  Just highlight the area to quote and DRAG it and drop it to the posting window!

That is so cool!!

I wonder if it works on the bastardized Macintosh version of IE... ;)

Well, now I understand why he has that reputation...
Imitation Gruel

Mon Aug 27 14:35:04 2001

He was the first person to ever be banned from OSY. He then re-registered and got banned again.

Considering that people have sworn in thread titles; that I once started a topic that in the first post used the word "fuck" something like 150 times; and that both myself and DuffMan have posted hentai or links to hentai; and others have posted actual nudity; it's saying a lot that he was banned.

Frankly he deserved it.

There's only one phrase for someone like that:

Imitation Gruel

Why do you think I requested Reimer to give him the title
OFFICIALLY BANNED FUCKTARD EXTRAORDINAIRE
?

Because he utterly deserved it. Four words to desribe APK: complete and utter dumbass.

WOW!  Six months already since he posted that message!

Time flies, huh?  I swear we were just beating him down (and rightly so) last month...

Imitation Gruel

Tue Aug 28 18:19:44 2001

We were. When he posted that disgusting pic (since removed) in the thread 'The History of APK'; I petitioned Reimer to ban his sorry ass. Reimer complied.

He then re-registered as APK1; posted a thread with another disgusting pic; and got banned again. The thread was then deleted.

I think the same goes for everyone else, except APK himself.

Actually it is quite ceremonius in this case.  In honour of The Masta' of all that is Sucktacula's 2000th post, I thought I would give him the opportunity to beat up on poor old APK once again.

It is my way of paying homage.

This thread was posted by APK.

*snicker* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Too bad my thread that I made in celebration of his banned-ness was lost in the pruning.

Bah Magus, better to smear pig shit onto your railslug than to get some APK on it. That's just gross

Hmmm, true. Perhaps the ax from classic Quake?
HitScan

and get some APK on you? Icky!

The double barrel perhaps, that idea has merit.
