I don't like to waste my life on internet arguments (nicely in alignment with your comments, there), but seriously? I hate to join the 'hacker news is going downhill' parade, but this is pretty bad. Go read http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html :- When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g.:- "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." Note you didn't even respond to my points, you just gave me the minimally informed personal attack bit. I wrote a fair bit here in response to your 'points', but to be honest your lack of civility doesn't warrant it. Feel free to disagree, but try + do it politely, this isn't reddit.
