Anti-trust is not wrong - it is the guard that keeps us from being bullied too much.
And Microsoft was hit by anti-trust not because they won, but because they won unfairly.

And we wouldn't like you when you're angry?

I always feel silly being angry.
I don't take myself seriously enough to believe it matters.
Oh look, MehGerbil is angry - and there is a squirrel running up a tree...

I've got to cogitate a bit about the rant to form an opinion. But on the surface your reasoning seems sound.
And when you phrase it as "MehGerbil is angry" then yeah, it DOES lose a little bit of punch

That makes me think of the movie "UP"

I like Russ Meyer films, too.
Don't really see the connection here, though.

I don't really see the connection either. I quoted Mehgerbil saying "and there is a squirrel running up a tree..." I think of the movie UP: http://movies.disney.com/up[^]
Oh... just looked up Russ because I was clueless, I may have watched his movies when I was in my 20's but at that time I didn't care who created the movie. I could see him creating a movie called UP, but there wouldn't be any connection with the movie I was thinking of. There's quite a difference between what he and Pixar would cook "up" (See, multiple meanings for the word) for a movie. For a fan of Russ, I could see why you wouldn't have watched a Pixar film and therefore miss the connection I had made.

On the other hand, maybe I was just yanking someone's chain.
Which, as far as I know, was not a Russ Meyer movie.
Hmm. Feel like watching Beneath The Valley of the Ultra-Vixens now. Sigh.

Which I suspected at the beginning, but started the reply like you weren't. As soon as I saw Russ's profile, I was pretty certain that was happening.
Well, may as well yank back.

Do we like him when he's not?
I think we should be told.

That would probably make me angry.

So making you angry is what is bad in that it would make you angry, but not liking you when you are not angry will make you angry as not being liked is worth getting angry, as not getting angry is not being liked. Luckily the few that do like you when you are not angry might also agree that they will not be liking you when you are angry, not to mention those that did not like you when you were not angry will now like you being angry, the very few that liked you when you were not angry will like you more when you do get angry, ignoring those that did not like you when you are not angry and still will not be liking you when you do get angry. 
I would suggest getting angry and then liking yourself getting angry. Who knows you might just start growing bigger and bigger as you are getting blue from not breathing (Well what did you expect? Obviously you are not the Hulk or anything)

I'm no longer angry, I'm confused.

I'm neither, I had a beer instead.

I think you should start a new religion.
Granted, it would be the repackaging of a very old one - but I see you making good cash at it.

I've read "angry" so many times it doesn't look like a real word any more

I hadn't read CBadger's missive before I sent mine. I probably wouldn't have sent mine if I had. Mine is much simpler than C's but basically says the same thing in a very abbreviated form. (And you just answered my question about you being in a continual state of angry. NOT)
The Hulk is kind of strange, he can stop being The Hulk or get angrier (and stronger) when he gets confused. Depends on whether or not he is getting hurt at the same time. Like someone else said, you aren't The Hulk.

So, liking you when you're not angry would probably make you angry. Would not liking you make you happy or are you in a continual state of angry? I'm starting to like you whether or not you're angry.

For me, the Internet browser is just a tool, which allows me to do various things.
I have five different browsers installed on this machine, just like I have seven different text editors, and four full-blooded word processors.
I don't expect all text editors/word processors to behave the same; in fact, the reason that I have variety is precisely because they don't all behave the same -- I use text editor 3 for doing A, because it does it better than text editor 2, etc.
I dare say that most people who subscribe to CP also have multiple text editors/IDEs/graphics apps.
But you don't hear everyone bitching because NotePad+ and TextPad do things differently!
So chrome has its own thinghy for doing whatzit.
I don't give a cr@p.
-- If I want to do whatzit, I'll open chrome.
-- If I want to do a complex document with conditional text, I'll open framemaker or Madcap Flare.
-- If I want to edit Java, I'll open Eclipse.
-- If I want to edit a photo, I'll open PaintShop Pro.
-- If I want to use saved/saveable browser sessions, I'll open Opera.
-- If I want to create a flow diagram, I'll open Visio.
-- If I want to edit C#, I'll open VS.
-- If I want to use Sharepoint I'll open IE.
-- If I want to cry, I'll open Word 2010.
Get over it, eh?

As developers we embrace complexity.
Most people who use computers just want to do a couple of simple tasks.
|
|
|
|

That's not complexity.
You don't use a dishwasher for washing clothes, or a microwave for watching soap operas (although it would probably be preferable).
"If you want to play this game, you have to open this page in [browser name]" wouldn't confuse anyone.
Browsers are not idols that you have to worship at the feet of, so we -- as in us in CP, and those like us -- have to stop making it look like people have to *LOVE* one browser and *HATE* all others.

I'd agree there is no reason for snobbery.
However, my parents think Google is the name of their browser.
True story.
|
|
|
|
|
And people thought that that other browser was named Netscape and a spreadsheet app was named Lotus.
