It seems more to be anti-(Apple-zealotry) rather than (anti-Apple) zealotry. For instance, here on Slashdot most anti Apple sentiment is expressed through jokes about sexuality. That's more like button pushing than serious arguments against the platform.
Also, your personal experience regarding browser preference has almost nothing to do with the usage of the browser. For example, I work in a software firm with about 70 employees, and only 6 of us use firefox regularly. In my experience, people just don't care about what browser they use, as long as it works. In the wide world, however, my experience means nothing.
I do agree with your contention, however. Safari seems to be vastsly underrepresented, unless the Apple market share is a lie.
Ruby has pretty much the same features - functional programming is very possible. If you master the concepts using these mostly familiar tools, it's much simpler to jump into the functional languages (or at least it was for me.)
I'll give you that one, for sure. Microsoft would probably defend it by saying "they developed the first programming language they developed," or something equally asinine.
Still a far cry from your original statement, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I have tried some googling and turned up nothing, though.
Hey, you better watch out with that opinion here. Only a greedy scumbag capitalist would want to be rewarded for their work. Real people want everyone to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Get with the program, comrade.
Not a problem. As a representative of the United States of American Assholes, I offer my humble acceptance of your apology, and a hearty laugh at your expectation of something better than you get.
Since this is a US site, we just don't care. Don't worry, you can start slashdot.au as an Australia-centric replacement. Then when Americans visit, we can all bitch about you.
"Yes I want to patent a circumferential device that has a continous working surface that is equidistant to its midpoint and converts angular velocity into translational velocity in a highly efficient manner..."
You can drive screws with a hammer if you want to. Hell, you can even try to saw a board with it. That doesn't mean the hammer is a flawed tool.
Arguing on the internet, special olympics, blah blah blah. I just won't get into it, sorry. You obviously hold more of an emotional stake in this than I do.
Holy shit. I think you may have the single worst sarcasm/humor detector in the human race. Of course, it's possible you live somewhere that explosively trapping a server room would be expectable. This is a global world, after all...

Well shit, I know 7 myself. We may have figured out the whole damn shebang...

Or possessives and plurals, for that matter.
I signed on. There were 5 Indian guys within 20 miles of me. There was no one else.
Call me underwhelmed. I was all excited for the hot underage action.
Great search, but good gravy that's creepy (not safe for the moral majority.)
Now, if someone came out with, say, a functional scripting language, I might hesitate.
You don't know Javascript? Or maybe you don't know that it has much in common with Lisp/Scheme, with C-like syntax? Look into it - as much as people denigrate it, it's one of the coolest languages out there.

Ah, yes, if only the elites ran the world...
You know, the suspension and the exhaust noise aren't really the reason that people turn away from energy efficient automobiles. It's the power
Wow, you live by that place? That must be pretty cool.
Firecock would be better, but that's still not testicular.

MS did claim they invented the GUI, I even remember them claiming to have invented the 'internet', on a computing history timeline they published.
Proof? Corroboration? I've not once heard either of these things.
I'm not trying to boost Microsoft here, but realistically they've done enough shitty things that you don't need to make stuff up.
You save only 59 seconds over 8 miles by going 75 instead of 65. Do you really have to pass that guy? Do the Math!
Yeah, but you cut the time in half if you go 130. Do the Math!

HA HA HA.

Your post, its content, your signature... I'm overloading here.
Damn man, you went off on that guy and it was the wrong poster. I guess your fancy education didn't cover reading comprehension.
Yup, that's gonna hurt Microsoft alright. Good job!
"Yes I want to patent a circumferential device that has a continous working surface that is equidistant to its midpoint and converts angular velocity into translational velocity in a highly efficient manner..."
Dude, wow, you're gonna be a gazillionaire!
...like crack-whores looking for crystal meth.
What?
Yep, Apple actually has a chance again.
