Ideas are worthless. Everyone has ideas -- you, me, Mr. Malda, even that idiot you're complaining about. The real secret sauce is all the stuff between idea and sale -- the boring stuff. Why should i pay you for having the same idea first? I'm the one who had to do all the boring stuff. Maybe you did boring stuff too, but if it was the right stuff, you wouldn't need the patent to win.

It's called Poe's Law. No matter -- flamebait and troll are both -1.
Script Kiddies wear the name as a badge of honor, while "hacker" is a epithet for criminals. Clearly the apocalypse is nigh.
Never mind him, that's just how he rolls.
I'd love to know how they correlate the two data points.
The current xkcd has some clues to their methodology.

I always get that wrong. I guess I think of "Armstrong" as someone who punch someone.
