Impossible to be simply a matter of mixing up terms. the Windows

 

kernel is called a "kernel" so "mixing up terms" is a rather vague,

 

and self serving excuse for calling it a "registry". and the several

 

versions of Linux are "built on" the Linux kernel - not the windows

 

manager. Again a self serving excuse.

 

 

 

One might almost call it "lying" so Alias there you are, you had one

 

moment of truth and are now back to your normal state of lying.

No, John, I just mixed up my terminology. I know the difference between

 

desk managers, registries and kernels. But if it makes you feel like a

 

real macho man nit picking asshole, be my fucking guest.

Err.. What are you smoking? Kernel means the inner most portion while

 

registry is an official written record of names or events or

 

transactions.

 

 

 

But, what the Hell, if it makes you feel vindicated make excuses.

I guess you don't know the difference between an excuse and a reason.

You don't know the difference between the truth and a lie.

Of course I do - I read your posts, don't I?

 

 

 

An excuse is:

 

 

 

excuse ~ noun

 

1. a defense of some offensive behavior or some failure to keep a

 

promise etc.

 

 

 

A reason:

 

 

 

reason ~ noun

 

1. a rational motive for a belief or action

 

 

 

 

 

And, your lame "reason" was used as an excuse.

 

 

 

But, to paraphrase Nike: If prevarication makes you feel good just do

 

it.

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

 

 

John B.

The Med's no BP Pond of Oil, but I believe it's pretty polluted just

 

normally. I'm a great fan of Maui - my son was married there in 2003 and

 

I returned for a week in 2007 to concentrate on the humpbacks & diving.

 

It was sublime!
