I thought so...Please don't go out of your way...VB app is working
great...The whole app is going to be ported to the web by Jan....Hence the
c#...I have another job first before I start...so it will be a while..

Clinton -

Rather than "guess" and constantly accuse Autodesk of bad
business practices, either post an exact provable example with
full details or know that any more posts like this will be
deleted and you might lose your privelege of posting here.

Time to use the discussion groups for the Q&A they are designed
for and to leave the incessant slamming of the corporation out of
your posts.

 

I'll preface my comments reminding that common sense demands
that we accept as a fact the contention that a software product
sold by a vendor whose stock is publically traded is not developed
by employees who use their own unilateral judgements to devise the
inclusion of feature sets and determine how those features function
as that is the venue of management which in this specific context are
in my opinion to be disaffectionately referred to as 'corporate
slimesters' as the facts will show their behavior to warrant.

Hence, by definition, Autodesk's corporate slimesters would be
those whom have been involved in mandating the subversive
sabotage of AutoCAD in a manner that not only cheats customers
so as to obstruct the customer from enjoying the full use of the
software in a manner that is advertised -- fraudulently -- but has
also been used to create a back door that allows the corporate
slimesters to invade the privacy of a customer at will, allows the
corporate slimesters unhindered access to the registry on the
customer's computer and allows the corporate slimesters to
serrepticiously install software on the customer's computer.

As a historical note, the National Science Foundation commercialized
the use of the Internet in 1991. That was 15 years ago. Who can say
that the Internet is nothing less than one of a handful of the most
significant technological implementations mankind has ever devised?

Yet in those 15 years Autodesk has sold some 27 releases of
AutoCAD and the best that Autodesk has have to offer its customers
is a shoddy implementation of a hyperlink in the drawing editor
that has been modified to subversively sabotage the use of the
software and can be used to invade the privacy of the customer
by functioning as a back door allowing unhindered access to the
customer's computer and any network to which that computer
and its operator(s) have permission to access.

How many releases have been sabotaged I can not say but I do know
for certain that AutoCAD2004/ADT2004 has been sabotaged so it is
that release which I will use to illustrate by referring to it as 2004.

Any customer can use 2004 to create a hyperlink in the drawing editor
and any customer who attempts to use that hyperlink will immediately
observe without question that 2004 has been subversively sabotaged.

When the customer attempts to use the hyperlink, 2004 will be
minimized to the taskbar destroying all window layouts rendering 2004
inaccessible without one or more manual operations required to
restore 2004 to its previous state.

A new instance of the browser is then launched fully maximized filling
the display preventing the customer from accessing the desktop and
other applications without another series of manual interventions
required to restore access to the desktop to its previous state.

Neither of those subversive behaviors are the way a hyperlinked
HTTP request functions unless the HTTP request has been hijacked
and modified. Once the HTTP request has been hijacked Autodesk's
corporate hackers can launch other exploits.

Hijacking an HTTP request without any rational reason establishes
a reasonable basis to suspect Autodesk's reasons for doing so.
The motive has been established by the fatcs and it is both correct
and right to say that Autodesk is involved in malicious hacking and
has done so to subversively sabotage the use of the software making
it possible to conduct serrepticious activities on the computer and
the network of any customer who uses hyperlinked drawing entities
increasing the likelyhood of compelling the customer to buy Buzzsaw
services once the customer learns how useless the hyperlink
implementation is not to mention how dangerous it is when using
the current subversive implementation of the hyperlink which
unquestionably has been hacked by Autodesk corporate slimesters
who mandated the subversive results.

There is your exact and proveable example Fräulein Brown.

The question is how and when does Autodesk propose to resolve
this back door hack that one or more in the company has perpetrated?

 

I'm working on a response to Fräulein Brown one thread above
which I hope you will read and understand hoping I am not
alienating anybody as the facts speak for themselves.

Hi,

You're rambling again. However, for the first time you have published
something testable.

And guess what ? When I tested it, it turns out your description of
behaviour is wrong.

A full screen of Internet Explorer opened at the web site I hyperlinked. My
task bar was totally unaffected, and AutoCAD remained as the visible window
when I minimised Explorer. This is the type of behaviour I would expect.

I would suggest that you are going extraordinarily close to or over the
border of slander in this message and would be surprised if someone at
Autodesk is not hurt enough by your preposterous postings that they don't
consult a lawyer.

Your attempts to denigrate Anne are not appreciated by users of this
newsgroup who appreciate her courtesy and help, particularly in the face of
the concentrated rudeness which you use.

Stop wasting our time.

 

If the facts speak for themselves..."state them"..And while your at it stop
using words that you make up...Doesn't help your cause if you express it as
a child would..Probably explains a bunch about your programming...I look
forward to showing your posts to some of my freshmen CAD students next
week... Nice way to teach them manners by showing how not to act... Never
mind the lack of results this mess has achieved...

www.Websters.com

Is a good start... There are some big words (and little ones) that actually
carry the weight you seem to think your made up words have...

Fräulein
SYLLABICATION: Fräu·lein
PRONUNCIATION: AUDIO: froiln, frou- KEY
NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. Fräulein
abbr. Frl. 1. Used as a courtesy title in a German-speaking area
before the name of an unmarried woman or girl.
2. fräulein Used as a form of polite address for a girl or young
woman in a German-speaking area.

Clinton -

Your supposed insult is incorrect. You should be using the word
that means married woman and thanks for the "young" comment.

You lost me in the first paragraph which rambled on a very long
time. I'll bow out of any technical discussion. However if any of
what you say has a glimmer of truth, I think it is very far
thinking of Autodesk to plan some imagined "subversive sabotage"
27 releases before Buzzsaw was even a glimmer in a developer's
eye.

I hope your life is more at ease and peaceful than your
discussion group postings. I read your web site and there is a
lot more going on in your life than your "conspiracy" theories.

Peace - Anne

(a very long snip)

 

Anne -- you asked for an exact and proveable example challenging
and threatening me. I provided the exact and proveable example
and now you are trying to slither out of your responsibility to respond
responsibly which is why the characterizations are assigned to the
behaviors and the roles of those who are dishonest and manipulative.

I have a call in to Autodesk's IT executives. We'll see what they have
to say about the facts.

Please see the answer (1) you have received in the ADT2005
discussion group.

 

nice show of restraint....fräulein..Can we use this from now on
I like it...

 

Paul

Some clarification from a german speaking user:
- Fräulein is an obsolete term for an unmarried woman or girl.
- Since women's liberation is a part of our modern life, most women
or girls hate it to be named 'Fräulein', they prefer to be named
'Frau'.
- The german speaking part of Switzerland knows one exception:
A waitress still can be called 'Fräulein'.

Cheers

 

Just a joke Jürg......Seemed necessary after this mess of a thread...

 

[snip]

Wow, Thanks a lot for the code examples. I am currently floundering on
where to start with all the .NET stuff, what is supported now, and what
I should code future projects in that my Firm is requesting me to
develop this winter.
My current notion is to hold off and develop the new "larger" ones in c#
for 2006 and convert older ones to vb.net (from vba) if they need the
new .net features/methods, etc.

 

This is all very facinating to me. After programming with AutoCAD and VBA/VB.NET for years now, I never realized that you could write VB.NET commands for AutoCAD. All the information that I've seen talks about ObjecctARX as a C++ tool. Does anyone know where I can find more good informaiton on this subject?
