Yeah, you hide in a dark room playing video games with other sweaty geeks because you don't have the guts to interact with girls, and you call me a coward?
Haha! Buddy, I'm already married with kids. And I certainly knew the difference between a LAN and a WAN before you ever heard of a nic.
Take it easy, there. If you keep getting worked-up over little things like this, you're gonna pop a vein one of these days.
The problem is that this stuff requires years of research.
Unless of course, a bulk of the research was actually done in public universities, funded by taxpayers. It can often be the case.
There are drugs that make it to the end of 10 year trials, and fail, with billions going down the drain.
And the accountants can easily claim a tax-loss on it. Nobody with any brains will cry a single friggin tear over that.
*THIS* is what you pay for, not the manufacturing cost.
We also pay for obscenely extravagant bonuses for executives who do no research, but who spend 50% of their time planning corporate games, such as mega debt-creating mergers and acquisitions, and the other 50% of the time flying in corporate owned jets, playing golf or skiing, or partying at corporate retreats.
Nah, Dude. Sorry. It ain't so clean and simple as that.
What google.com DOES is more important and far more valuable than what they might call themselves.
Name recognition is certainly important, and the ease of *finding* that business on the web, is certainly a large element of its success.
But of course, this whole present day attorney induced phobia over trademark protection is based on the ease with which a new company might emulate an older well-established company. But this does not apply to google.com.
The advantages that google's operation has over its competition at the moment is far more than it's name. In fact, the name recognition that it enjoys is based completely on the superior performance of what they DO, not who they are.
Tomorrow google.com could announce that they are changing their name to shitbucket.com. And within a month or two of offering their services from that new domain name, the term "google" will have lost it's meaning, and the verb "shitbucketing" will have entered into daily usage.
Instead of blindly reacting to things, why don't you try to think things through for yourself?Instead of letting someone else's opinions dictate what yours are (ie: Anything Malda likes you dislike, whatever Malda dislikes, you like...) why don't you acknowledge the fact that thinking people can come to differing conclusions and don't have to belittle each other over them?
Democracy will never work well if too many people can't get this realization through their thick skulls.

Go drink a beer or something. It's Saturday.
But you're undeniably a coward.
It "depends on your point of view".
GET IT?
If I'm a moron you're a dumbass, in addition to being a coward.
yeah, I know.
It was a joke. Come on.
("Re:Privacy issues with google"????)
was the largest LAN party.
Depends on your point of view, I guess.
...Some monkeys with typewriters, and lots-o-time.
Or Tesla and Edison.
Or Mozart and Soliari.
Or Buddy Holly and Milli Vanilli.
Or John F. Kennedy and Dan Quayle.

Substance over symbol makes lawyers absolete.
