I've never encountered that. Please name some. I wouldn't get your hopes up for that request to be honored anytime soon. Based on what they've written so far, it appears that their knowledge concerning MS security access rights as well as PCs in general is shall we say, lacking. With that said, I'm aware of some older specialized applications that are Windows based that will require elevated access rights to to run, due to their designs. But, these are for the most part, older programs. Developed primarily, before proper security practices were semi enforced on the part of MS. For the most part, properly written applications today will run fine without admin level rights. HH seems to be a bit out of touch with reality as well. This is something they recently wrote: "After all, one can't run an App which hasn't been installed." An untrue statement. There was a point in time where apps didn't get 'installed' in the first place. You provided them a directory/folder and they were self contained from there. And some/many apps today are being written just like they USED TO BE, because various programmers and advanced users alike realize the immediate benefits. -- Nope, I can't go to hell.

That's probably why you feel right at home on a Mac. They are good baby sitters for those who don't know, or want to learn, how the machine in front of them works. Apple prides itself on dumbing technology down and charging you out the ass for it. nonsense. Do you have any reputable sites which dispute what I wrote? reputable sites don't refer to mac users as idiots who need babysitters. only apple-bashers do that. So you have no sites to offer? See below if you want to get an idea of how much you're being ****ed over. Btw, the Acer below is considerably more upgradable if you wanted to do so. The all in one mac, due to it's very design/case/etc, isn't. Other than swapping out the HD and adding more ram, that is. With the Acer, I can add another hard drive, internally; no swap required. As well as the ram, the video card, the sound card, etc etc etc. I can't changeout the sound card or video card on the mac. I'm stuck with what it has. Thanks so much Apple. I can't add an additional video card to the apple for quad display or coin mining, either. I can with the Acer. And, if I wanted to mine coins, I'd want more GPUS and the better CPU working together for faster coin mining results. The apple won't lemme do that. the prices of apple products are competitive for similar specs, often *less* expensive. We're discussing Apple computers, specifically. Do you have any reputable sites that state an Apple computer costs about the same as an equivalent PC? If so, please provide url(s)... for instance, the retina imac 5k costs about the same as a dell 5k display, which is just a display, no computer. you have to add the cost of the computer, which makes it quite a bit more expensive than the imac. You aren't making a fair comparison, here. And the retina imac 5k had/still has? issues with backlighting and it's not exactly the speediest machine available, either. They took an older machine and gave it a new video panel, essentially. http://www.alphr.com/apple/apple-imac-1 But, as I said, this isn't a fair comparison. Especially when you consider that it's an all in one, and not just a display that can be connected to other computers...Unlike the Dell you picked for price comparison purposes..Which is a bit pricey, considering other options... https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/imac I'm assuming you picked the Dell because of it's high price, and, made no effort to see what other companies were offering theirs for. So, I did it for you: https://www.amazon.com/HP-J3G14A8-AB.../dp/B00VO85RY6 Thats a commercial grade one, too. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...28&ignorebbr=1 i7 (all retina imacs are i5) CPU, twice the ram, twice the HD space...If compared to the prior two Apple Imacs with 5k retina otherwise, HD space is the same, ram isn't, and cpu is lacking on the Apple. The apple is using an i5. The acer is using an i7 with a higher clock frequency before 'turbo boost' Price for the only Imac with retina that has the same HD size, but half the ram, and i5 cpu (where as the Acer has an i7): 2299.99 monitor: 1399.74 - new in the box, 899.99 (used like new) System.: 769.99 - new in the box total cost: 2169.93 if all new 1669.98 if going with 'used like new' monitor Neither price includes shipping. Near equ apple (less ram, less cpu power) 2299.99 PC gives you choices, lots and lots of choices. Apple, ehh, not so much, no. Not so good on equ machines either here, the Acer ships with twice as much ram, and, a more advanced cpu: https://www.digitaltrends.com/comput...core-i5-vs-i7/ I know which one I'd go with, if I was in the market for the 5k display and a suitable machine to mate with it. G the samsung galaxy s8 costs *more* than a similar iphone, as did the galaxy note 7 before it was recalled. Again, you aren't making a fair comparison here, either. if you want to see charging out the ass, look no further than microsoft. the price of the microsoft surface studio is about *double* the price of a similar apple imac, with the only tangible difference being that the surface studio display pivots and supports touch. Well, you claimed that about the retina display, and, I've proven you wrong already. so unless you're willing to provide specs on what you think an equ imac is for fact checking I'm not going to take what you've written at face value. -- Nope, I can't go to hell.

What part of "Don't Care" do you not understand, PSL? I haven't been bragging about anything, as, it's not bragging if you can back it up, anyhow. Its bragging when it is effectually off-topic. Sorry, but that URL fails to do what you've claimed. Please try again. I provided additional details that you conveniently, snipped. Irrelevant, because what you claimed was wrong. Both times. But since your claimed visit here was merely to "WARN" the readership about David, anything more is a clear goal posts move. Initially, the purpose of my visit, ... "Initially" = a goal post move is coming But, there's been no efforts of any kind on my part to move any goal posts. "And yet you're still here". /S And still haven't shared any of your photography. That's not true, either. Its possible I've overlooked it. Cite please. Kid, since I've already mentioned some of them, you needing to ask again shows just how much you're a Painfully Slow Learner (PSL). My question was more of a smartass one, ... Which is what immature kids do. Btw, I often use I-81 to get from ... But Dustin did say he doesn't divulge locations ... remember? Post snippage in the manner you're doing it is a newbie troll method. Here's the rest of what you snipped: Btw, I often use I-81 to get from city to city and state to state when I don't feel like using backroads. Sometimes though, the backroads are actually faster. But, it depends on time of day, road conditions, etc. city to city and state to state is certainly divulging locations, right? Very specific, no doubt. right? First of all, I-81 already divulges a geographical constraint. Second, it was significantly narrowed upon mention of Johnson City, TN, which is just the other side of I-81 from Kingsport. And when you've now also volunteered "State to State", you're firmed up even further, as this region of TN has NC and VA within ~20 minutes. Now granted, you may not be in Kingsport anymore as you never did own that small house ... there's nothing wrong with being a renter. And given the condition of the landscaping, it does look more like the level of "pride of ownership" that a renter does (vs a homeowner). Keep on shooting yourself in your own foot, kid...er PSL. LOL, You blew your entire foot off, already: "After all, one can't run an App which hasn't been installed." That's just one stupid statement you've written. *sigh* Kid, it requires Admin authority to run the chmod command, and without granting the appropriate "+x", your user's .exe file won't run. It was never unique to GG...You do have other web browser friendly options, but they aren't all 'free' You keep claiming that, but still haven't cited even but one such example. And that's also entirely your failing, no one else's. Indeed, I have claimed it, because it's true. Sorry, but you missed substantiating your claim by the deadline. Here's four: http://easynews.com/ http://www.fastusenet.org/ Looks like these two may work okay, but you've not shown that they're more 'secure' than GG can be in terms of IP masking, etc. As such, you've failed to show any meaningful differentiation over current. http://gogousenet.com/ No, it doesn't appear to have a full feed (just a few alt.binaries* groups). https://www.altbinaries.com/?d=usenetstorm.com No, it doesn't appear to support html web access (requires an App) So not only are you late, your work is still quite incomplete by the standards that you've set for yourself.. -hh |

Let's go over a few reasons you're wrong. 1) chmod is an attribution settings command, not an installer. While it does require admin rights to be used, it doesn't apply in the case of Xnews. 2) Linux doesn't require the file extension .exe to denote an executable. Windows itself doesn't either...(I'm waiting for you to try and argue that it does, then, I'll correct you again. g) 3) Xnews is a native Windows PE32bit executable. It runs under Wine in linux, so, doesn't require my specifically setting the executable bit beforehand. As, without Wine, the distro of Linux I run can't execute it for me, even if I did set the appropriate bit. It's not a native ELF executable, but, a Windows PE32bit executable instead. 4) Xnews is a portable app. It doesn't require my running an installer in Windows OR Linux. I'm free to copy the folder itself to any Windows/Linux machine I like and run it. Without admin rights. Despite the fact I need admin rights to install Wine, that's still not Xnews. And once Wine is installed, I don't need admin rights to run Xnews under it. So, short of my attempting to use it on a corporate configured system with restrictive policy settings, it will run without being installed, and, without having to have admin rights to use it. I can't think of a legitimate reason off hand that I'd need to be using a usenet client while using company equipment, either. Let alone bringing something with me on a USB stick, cd-r, etc, and being allowed to introduce the program to a machine I don't own or have any real control over. I'd expect that to violate one or more company policies, actually. I'd be very surprised if it didn't.

Not exactly. The OS loader (I'm dumbing this down for you; I can tell you're not a coder) reads file header data, that data determines if it's an executable, what kind it is, and how to load it into memory to execute it. the executable bit for systems which use it isn't doing what you thought. That's granting permission to RUN it, not determine what the file itself actually is. 3) Xnews is a native Windows PE32bit executable.

Since you can't run it without Wine, and Wine isn't part of the OS and it required Admin to install, you're dead in the water. my basic point still applies and stands. Well, no, because you claimed originally that applications had to be installed...Not all of them require installation. Then, you tried to claim you had to have admin rights to install them, you don't always need that either. In Xnews native environment, (which is windows) admin rights are not required to install or run it, unless you want to move the goalposts (as you've done several times now since making your initial statement) and discuss system policies which may be in effect on the machine. Btw, Xnews actually runs on win9x systems as well as Windows NT based ones, and you don't have normal user and seperate admin rights on windows9x... I can't run it on LINUX without Wine, because it's not a native LINUX application. By the same token, once Wine is installed, I do not need admin rights to use Xnews on the linux machine. So, short of my attempting to use it on a corporate configured system with restrictive policy settings, ... Sorry, but there is no "short of", as the point was for something that will run anywhere, *including* from restrictively configured systems. When you made your initial statement, it wasn't. You've added further revisions to your statement when I educated you on the concept of portable apps that require no installer, and, have no installer. In an effort to save face, because, being the end user you are, you didn't know about apps that don't require installation. Which indicates to me atleast you might be exaggerating concerning the length of time you have in the world of IT. Installers didn't originally come with apps; that was later. Much later. Computers have been 'dumbed down' considerably since I started with them, so I don't blame you for not knowing about the way in which the majority used to treat software. Or how the majority of software was used back in the day, and, is making a comeback...History does have a funny way of repeating itself, sometimes. If a system is correctly configured with policy settings, it's most likely going to have a restricted network access policy and likewise restricted internet access policy as well; which most likely will deny access to google groups via web browser. And, I've already covered how easily that can be enforced; which renders your excuse for accessing usenet in that manner, null and void for your example. I can't think of a legitimate reason off hand that I'd need to be using a usenet client while using company equipment, either.

I also fail to see what your failed snide remark has to do with what I wrote? I also couldn't help but notice that you don't know the difference between the two? I'm not surprised.
