and won't have to pay nuthin' to nobody. Big factories making goods to sell to a large number of people will become unnecessary too. The only function of the army of robots will be exactly that -- be an army. Protect the 7,000 from the 7,000,000,000. They will fail.

...gives me a bit of a cognitive dissonance sensation. It shouldn't, really, but it does. Is it just me?

Oh yeah? Well, I only use my (Graham's Number)x(Skewes' Number) display to edit files with ed! (I'd use it for videos, but the aspect ratio kind of sucks.)

Yo dawg, I head you like C++ compilers, so I compiled your C++ compiler with a C++ compiler!

Thanks. I suspect the person you're replying to is aware of that, but is conflating on purpose.

He criticized openness as a concept in and of itself, not some particular attribute of Android, so the extrapolation is not an extrapolation, it's stating the logical and immediate consequence of his argument. He DID argue that what makes it impossible to earn money as a developer is the platform being open. I pointed the PC as a painfully obvious counterexample. His tantrum^H^H^H^H^H^H^H argument is idiocy, and stating that it is idiocy, and therefore the person arguing that is an idiot, is not ad hominem, but a statement of fact. He's an idiot. So are you. (In addition to being anonymous and a coward.)

Yeah, noticed that. Another sycophant.

...acording to this tantrum-throwing butthurt loser.

And nobody ever made money selling software for it.

Idiot.
