"they may opt instead for Microsoft's Windows Phone software"

No one is going to do that.

So, he's complaining about the number of idiots posting he saw on a site designed to filter out all posts but what you are looking for, on which he looked specifically for idiots posting? Am I reading that correctly?

Sort of like someone I know non Christian) who went to see a production of Jesus Christ Superstar and liked it for the most part, except for all of the crosses in it.

Look, yes, we were a little late to WWI and WWII, and we're sorry for that. Hell, maybe if we had been there at the beginning, those two conflicts wouldn't have gotten all blown out of proportion like they did.

But see, we've strived real hard to be first to every other war since then. And none of them have escalated into a "world war", have they? By my reckoning, we've successfully prevented something like 7 or 8 world wars since then. Where's our recognition for that, huh? It's a thankless job, I tell ya.

Wow, sounds like you need to get better friends on Facebook and Twitter. I never saw any of this, just sympathy. I've known a few WWII vets, and even they don't really carry much animosity for the Japanese anymore.

Then again, in America minorities don't launch rockets into gated communities and then hide among innocent civilians, protected by a corrupt terrorist regime wielding the seat of government.

Not saying any given situation is right, just that your correlation is BS.

Apparently, "taking it badly" is historically a metaphor for "hanging from a tree, lynched in the middle of the night", or "rounded up into camps and systematically killed".

That may be the most appropriate typo ever.

Stop being so fucking full of yourself, and you may have a change.

If your project is actually rock star quality, open source or proprietary won't make a diffence.

Now let's get back to your 15ms of fame.

I think we need to read the following paper which defends Rybka. I got the link from the Wikipedia entry on Rybka.

http://www.chessbase.com/news/2011/riis01.pdf(It's a PDF file, in case you hadn't noticed the extension.)

The paper proposes that, contrary to popular opinion, Rybka probably did not misappropriate parts of Fruit. It was enough for me to tend toward believing Rybka and not believing 34 panelists on ICGA, but I'll let you judge for yourself. If you know the background of the SCO vs Linux case, especially how the pundits made their pronouncements, you will appreciate this paper more. I can definitely say that I no longer unequivocally conclude that Rybka stole from Fruit.

That's really cool. You know, one of these machines would make a really cool hideout for a James Bond villain. The only things you'd need to add to make it perfect are a prominently labelled self-destruct switch and a pool full of sharks with frickin' lasers on their heads.
