It's about a court case[^], so I initially ignored it, but then I was desperate enough to scan it to see about including it in the Insider[^] (plug, plug, go ahead, subscribe, I dare you) and got to this money exchange:

I wonder if New Egg win all the prior victims can sue for their $45m back, now there would be justice! Except the blasted lawyers get their cut either way!

Crappage.
Well, I guess that was why TGP wanted the trial in Texas (I've heard that court is very pro-patent owner). Hopefully the Supreme Court or whatever will hear it and find for sanity.

Careful you might get a array index out of bounds error with some posters, there seem to be some VB guys here.

I grew up on VB, yet I can still address an index correctly.

Since spirit produces a much better developer than VB would do, you are a cheat.

You can sure say that again. We've learnt through Bitter experience here in Australia that nothing good ever comes from VB.

They had such promising futures until they crossed paths with VB. Gin is indeed a far better option.

Sure is. Especially when the media got a hold of the second one, not realizing it was satirical - taking the mickey out of people that think that way. Many thought those were his actual views - he got quite some unwanted attention, leading up to him posting a link to the story behind the clip on the page.
They're horribly offensive things to say if people think he's actually serious though.
It's all your fault!  Speaking of VB and gin in the one sentence.

Sounds a little younger than I'd expect for MM, though he's got a son, doesn't he?
VB's bad enough, but as any aussie knows, Bundy gets ya spastic. It seems to have even stronger bogan-extraction qualities. I'd pay actual money to see MM do a take-off of this video.

I am so used to zero based numbering that I have caught myself counting things, outside of collections e.g. items in a list on a piece of paper, starting at zero(for pachyderms sake! ).
