Why would Tony Stark be based on Larry Ellison?
Larry Ellison owns a company (Oracle) that makes awful products and races boats occasionally.
It's unfair to compare Tony Stark to that douchebag.
Oh so you can't be an innovator unless you completely invent every idea from scratch?
That's so novel, you should write a book!
Ideally you weren't running Apache or Nginx as root.
By prior art I mean existing case law.
Also, doesn't AMD's reimplementation of the 386 microcode count as prior art? Intel sued them and AMD won IIRC.
They created a new, compatible microcode for the processor using clean room reverse engineering.
Mod parent up!
Yep Fuck Oracle!
calling the entire U2 back catalogue a "check" is a bit far fetched don't you think?
*At least it would be
When it comes to horrible phones like this Firefox phone or the ones Microsoft makes, wouldn't you rather just have a feature phone?
At it would be easy to dial and text with, be reliable and have crazy long battery life.

Can't wait to preorder!
I can already tell which type of person you are.
Again you don't get it. People who DO things have an unfair advantage.
People who think they're smart and don't do anything are the ones who get screwed over constantly.
Steve Wozniak *built* things. There's no way a guy like that would be somewhere flipping burgers, ever.
How the fuck would a person as smart as Steve Wozniak be flipping burgers?
in Soviet Russia old joke makes fun of you!
Zero marketing and support budget as well as miniscule oem support.
Desktop Linux will take off when a major oem creates a viable product with it.
Plus you can use your pentium 4 laptop as a heater and hair dryer In a pinch. Take THAT modern laptops!

I don't know if you missed it, but it clearly says "STRIKES BACK."
Apple has been a patent lawsuit asshole every since Android roflstomped them in the market.
Yep, pretty much every article references Google being sued or countersuing after being sued.
That said I did use google to search so the results could be biased. :)
When has google sued someone for software patent infringement? i can't recall a single case that wasn't in self defense.
Microsoft on the other hand, has been known for suing outright as well as shady deals like SCO, Nokia and other scummy tactics.
Luckily, Microsoft is circling the toilet bowl and won't be relevant years from now.
or C# which looks almost identical to java in most cases.
I wish T-mobile's "unlimited" throttle gave you something good enough for web browsing.
When you hit the cap, they fucking throttle you to 2400 bps and you can barely check email with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if you told me that Verizon execs were carried around on golden chariots carried by starved eunuch slave children.
