The author is arguing a point analogous to "Napoleon didn't invade the Soviet Union", when he overheard a discussion about the French invasion of Russia.
One is uncertain whether to feel pity or contempt for the author in the aftermath of this confusion.
I myself am torn between "meh" and "wtf".
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoIt's almost the exact opposite of that. The peanut gallery seems convinced that Napolean invaded the Soviet Union (i.e. that Google uses Oracle's "Java" in Android). And when someone points out this is wrong (and in fact quite silly, hence the "Um.. no") people respond that everyone knows that the U.S.S.R and Russia are the same (i.e. using Apache Harmony and a Google written VM is the same as using Sun's JDK and JVM), even when it's just been pointed out that they aren't. It's kind of like the owner of a C compiler and some standard libraries suing you for using a different compiler and different standard libraries. (Maybe they've got stupid patents that they can hit you with, but you're getting hit by them even though you didn't use their stuff).
