I'm thinking this motherfucker bit off more than he can chew with this one.

Okay, so in an attempt to get help you post absolute tripe [that you now appear to be admitting is false]. This, of course, bothers people because someone not knowing any better could come along and take your post for truth.
Beyond that, you didn't post any questions. Just complaints.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, ask those who can nicely to consider adding the features you want for you. If you can prove your idea is good, someone will be willing to help.
I agree entirely; the OP however seemed to think bitching about it was a good way to do that.
The difference is the willingness to pay for a feature you want - if you're paying with cash, or with your own time.
If you want feature $Y that no one else has written and/or wants to write, or you wish feature $Z worked a little differently, you've got to pay for it - either with your time, or by hiring someone to do it.
Of course, for many features, others have already "paid" for it by developing it, so you get it for free.
"Ooooh, it doesn't work for me, I can't be bothered to read the fricking docs and figure out how to make it work, it's trash and you shouldn't use it.. "
I really don't intend this to be flamebait, but instead of bitching that it isn't supported, why not shut up and do it?
So many people proclaiming "Open Source application $X will fail because it doesn't support my favorite feature $Y." Either quit bitching or MAKE THE APP SUPPORT it.
Uh, you seem to think Minimo is intended to replace Firefox, which would indicate that not only did you not read the article, you didn't even read the summary!
Minimo is intended for small/embedded devices, not a desktop computer.
still does. It's a... convulted calculation, but you end up getting between 2-4x your monthly salary in stock at the end of the year. So if you make 5k a month, you can end up getting between 10 and 20k in stock; which you can sell immediately if you so desire. (They also have an end of year cash bonus equal to 1/2 of one months salary.)
Here's a note to other companies: this stock bonus ploy keeps me working for them when I might otherwise seek other employment. Pay/treat your good people nicely, and they'll respond in kind. Treat your employees like crap, and they'll respond in kind.

Not the existence of the site, the comments on the site. :)
http://www.wikipediasucks.com/ - check out the slant on his site, and you'll immediately have a good idea of his creditability...

2. You certainly appeared to be cheering on a patent lawsuit.
* Or, the patents they do own are widely recognized as having prior art, e.g. being invalid. FWIW, #2 is what annoys the crap out of me.

Check this out http://www.fizzl.net/projects/sdwap.php.. Very nicely done, it makes slashdot readable on devices that support WAP.
It takes around 20mb on my XP system.
Allow me to be the first to say:
You, sir, are an ass monkey.
If someone ever tried to pull this shit on me, I'd have them arrested in about 3 seconds flat.
Not to mention that what you're doing *is* illegal.
Wow, you just completely misunderstood the process of animation. I'm proud.
Second, why don't you read the docs, or ... actually DEBUG IT and figure out which file it isn't finding?
And just think, your eyes can't differntiate much between 30 fps and 90 fps. ;)
It wouldn't need a firewall if it didn't default to having so many ports open listening for traffic.
You're not looking hard enough.
Maybe valve should stand up and take notice that we aren't going to accept this bullshit? All it did was lose them a sale.
Let me assure you, it's not just your observation. :)
ps.. you're missing "it"

Ooops :( Sorry about that, I guess I am getting stock.
