Out of interest, are you the Stormfront member I blocked the other day? If so, your comments would make sense. It would also confirm that NeoNazis and Holocaust deniers are idiots. If you aren't a StormFront member I'll happily stand corrected.
I've admitted I'm wrong (I can't beleive I'm replying to this), but if you think I've blamed my own stupidity on someone else then put up or shut up: post a link to where I did this and I'll publicly apologise to that person. Sound fair?
Ummm... I HAVE fully admitted my mistake, in variouscomments. The "blame" here is on myself, this is correct, for making a silly comment because I didnt read the article carefully enough. I'm a big enough man to admit to this. I don't see any comments where I've spread the blame to other posters. I did respond to an anonymous coward's claim that it was because I contributed to Wikipedia - hi CheeseDreams! - so if that's spreading blame then I think you need to think that through a little further.
Oh, it's CheeseDreams. That's all I need to know. Enjoying your one year block for disrupting Wikipedia?
As for standing down from my position: yep. That is correct. I made an idiot out of myself and am correcting my ideas as I can see that I was wrong. I don't really care what you think of my motives, as in this case your opinion doesn't count.
I am a fairly stupid person. It helps me get through the day sometimes. What more can I say? Did you actually want me to agree with you? This is my last reply to an anonymous coward.
... well, I sure as hell don't know you. Perhaps I blocked you on Wikipedia? I wouldn't know because you're posting anonymously! And umm... perhaps you have problems parsing text but I didn't ever ask for this to be deleted. I merely jumped to the wrong conclusion, and asked why I was marked down as flamebait.
Anyway, this is a moot point now anyway, as I've seen the error on what I wrote and stand corrected.
I'm merely expressing my opinion that Apple is a particularly stupid company for stopping a website from paying homage to their product. It's not like they are:
a. taking away any potential earnings b. using the same technology: that is, Google is a website and Apple's theme is a Window Manager c. It's has elements of transformation of Apple's idea - that is the webpage design was a way of navigating Google and not the traditional means of navigating an operating system.
If anything, this should be allowed under fair use laws in the United States. The only thing not going for it is that Google is not a non-profit organisation.
Anyway, my original point stands: Apple sucks for doing this.
Really? I could have sworn he was ripping off Robb Rasmussen, vice president of EDS Global Alliances, who stated that "a large enterprise needs to be sure because it relates to securifying the environment." To make sure they didn't look like idiots, ZDNet had to put a sic in there.
Damn. Looks like they are using cookies in their searches. Sorry about that. Snarky comment retracted.

I think that started before the court case when they spammed so many people.
You can believe that if you wish. I don't think that I am, so I hope you don't mind if I politely ignore you. Have a nice day!

It didn't. I was an idiot. I stand corrected.
Good point. I stand corrected.

I unfortunately already jumped to these conclusions. Apparently, this is because I contributed to Wikipedia. Silly me!
But the parent is correct. I'm now sort of sorry I jumped to those conclusions without proof.
Can someone mod this up as Interesting?
Hmm. Good point. I stand corrected.
Funny how you've just jumped to conclusions also.

That made my day!
I was not aware that it could have more than one.
I wasn't aware that epilepsy was catching.
Wow. Can we say "missing the point"?
There is an email form to register your disgust.
Are they an important part of Australian film making? And if so, isn't this restraint of trade?
