  Tragic.  You clearly didn't understand that previous paragraph, after all. 
If only you had stopped, while you were behind.  If only you had taken 
bkfsec's sage advice.  Now I'm just going to _have_ to publicly humiliate 
you.  So let's start with the first point:

 You haven't proved _anyone_ wrong.

  Let me explain it to you, step-by-step, in very short words that even 
*you* should be able to understand:

1)  He said what happened when he tried it out on his system: it crashed.
2)  You tried it out on a completely different system (your own) and it 
didn't crash.

  Anyone but a complete moron would realise that YOUR TWO SYSTEMS BEHAVE 
DIFFERENTLY.   But no: you keep on insisting that he's wrong, that he didn't 
see what he saw with his own eyes, he posted a screen-grab that showed a 
crash and yet you persist in the moronic belief that his system HAS to 
behave just like yours therefore he must be wrong when he said he'd seen it 
crash.

  Fuck.  What's so hard to grasp?

>Takes about 30 seconds, if that.

  In saying this, you *admit* that your research was shallow and completely 
inadequate.

  I've spoken to Class101 before.  He *knows* what he's talking about.  He 
knows how to code, how to hack, how to write a sploit, how to test a piece 
of software for MORE THAN 30 SECONDS before attempting to draw conclusions.

  Whereas you have failed to show the logical reasoning abilities of a piece 
of burnt toast.  Hence you persist in the utterly fallacious reasoning that 
"Because all win98 machines must behave exactly alike, and yet he claims his 
did something that mine did not, he must be wrong".

  PKB.  You only keep making these posts because you believe YOU are 
incapable of being wrong.

  Oh, so now it's "I didn't make a mistake and he is wrong but in fact I was 
wrong and did make a mistake but anyway that's not my fault because I am 
ignorant of the fact that there is more than one language in the world".  If 
this was Usenet I'd be calling SPNAK on your sorry ass about now.

  So you agree you made a stupid mistake because you made a false 
assumption?  There's hope for you yet.

  Again, you would do well to look in the mirror when giving advice like 
that.

    HTH!
