I had to log in because you're ignorant, and your dismissal takes far less effort than proving my side. From "Emerging Perspectives on the Antiparasitic Mebendazole as a Repurposed Drug for the Treatment of Brain Cancers", 20

You don't understand what happened at Xerox PARC or what their "GUI" was. Smalltalk wasn't a language, it wasn't a GUI, it was an _environment_, and its whole point was that it didn't hide anything! It was a co

How many infinite free passes are tech companies going to get? Either stop using them altogether, or start passing some legislation mandating safety standards. Anyone who purveys these faulty products has no conscience or shame.
