How do you think we made the Jimi Hendrix posters on the walls of our rooms glow so brightly, back in the 70s, when UV fluorescent technology was prohibitively expensive for those of us in junior high?
I've suspected such things were being posted by you for some time. Sorry to be proven correct. Welcome to my Strangers list. Been nice knowing you, I guess.
I remember... in the long-ago days of my youth... before the Oxford Comma Wars... paragraph breaks were in abundance... we didn't have to hoard them as we do today...
I should also mention that I could have just modded your original post Troll or Flamebait, but I instead decided to voice my concerns and give you a chance to respond.
Get a grip, sonny. A question was asked. I gave an answer. If you'd like to supply a different one, feel free. But don't you try and yank my chain just because I expressed an opinion. If I touched a nerve because you're a fuckoff in school and know it, that's your problem, not mine.
BTW, when I was in school, "free time" did not begin *until* the bell rang, not before.
That is so completely and utterly beside the point, I don't know where to begin.
You made a claim about a court case. Said claim was shown to be false.
We were never arguing about your opinion of the case; we were arguing about something you presented as fact, not opinion, which was shown not to be true.
You want a civil question? Okay... here goes... and it's an honest question:
Hi Florian! How about an ancient history lesson? Would you care to tell us the real reason why your tenure at MySQL AB was so (mercifully) short-lived?
I've always been really interested in how your answer might stack up against what I saw and heard at the time. Thanks!
You can sympathise and do all the wishful thinking you want.
Doesn't alter the fact that this was incredibly stupid and/or naïve.
I used to work in radio, and one thing I discovered very quickly is this: You don't let *anything* you wouldn't want to see in the papers out of your control. There is *always* someone ready to take advantage of an opportunity to embarrass a celebrity, just a local one.
Folks on the Hollywood TV/film circuit? By the time they've reached that level, they should just fucking know better.
Maybe I'm just cynical, but when somebody starts out with, "I'm sorry but I've had more than enough evidence that women..." it's a pretty clear indicator IMO.
I'm not bothering any more with this thread unless/until TDM responds.
In other words, you're not even pretending to be objective.
I live in Stockholm, have been following this story in Swedish newspapers and TV, and the Anonymous Swede is correct.
What the guy tweeted was, "När ska ni journalister inse att djupt inrotad i Islams kultur att våldta och misshandla sådana kvinnor som inte rättar sig efter Islams lära." Which roughly translates as "When will you journos see that it's deeply rooted in the culture of Islam to rape and beat such women who don't comply with Islam's teachings." And this is what the court fined him for.
Rather than risk getting dobbed in for hate speech, though, I'll just invite to you read Quran and the hadiths and then judge for yourself.

This business of replying to your own posts to take swipes at Yoko Ono is getting a bit old.
The Beatles were going to split up no matter who the guys were married to.
John's been dead for 30+ years.
I think it's been enough time that you can move on, or at least back to your "OOP is madness" madness.
Can't you damn kids play some NICE music?
I've seen the beta exactly once. I told it to go away, and it's never come back.
I guess I really am special, after all.
It apparently means something to the noobs.
Would that be the Mozilla that touted its extensibility, then proceeded to break extensions with every update?
Would that be the Mozilla that insists on moving around major chunks of the UI with every release, and with no way to change it back?
Would that be the Mozilla that has become a hotbed of elitist "We know what you want, and what you want is Chrome?" assholes?
Just checking...
... there are tons of well known tools already in existence. Binary != Improvement
Such as... any text editor that features the cutting-edge technologies known as "search" and "regexps"?
Wow! No... really?

One improvises with what is available.

Those were happier times.
TDM responded, and I've responded in turn.
I think you can put down the buckets of tar and feathers now. :)

Dialogue, what a concept.
Oh, and I do like the tagline. Cheers.
My bad, then. Please accept my apologies.
See? Cynic I may be, but--unlike some people--I can and do admit when I've made a mistake.
Are we good now?
Hi there, AlecStaar!
I didn't say a single blessed thing about the Internet, did I?
Is there anything else I didn't talk about that you'd like to discuss?
Long ago, and in your imagination.
You really don't see the bigger picture here, do you?

You were a valuable unbiased source of information on software patents and patent litigation.
In a parallel universe, perhaps.

See? Keepin' it polite and everything.

It sounds like the camel had a better day than I did. WTF?
