Liu died and everyone came out to consume his death. I bet no non-chinese here knows what exactly he promoted in his political campaign, including his controversial arguments. Nobel Price committee conveniently ignored his support of invasi

>> Microsoft did the same with its Win32 API. Yes, this meant that Windows was by design a worse platform in terms of the end user experience than, say, Mac OS ... The author loses his creditability since here.

couldn't agree more. Imagine this election is a startup. You have this wonderful/magical/great product but just not sell. Then what? Back to development and try again!

I'd say Chinese government's position is well justified, given every presidential candidate in last 30 years competed to trash it. You want an enemy, you'll get one.

I would like to add one more: text is far easier to edit than graphics and everyone can do it without mouse. I guess at this point both Emacs and Vim users are united.
