> Considered buying it. But "fork my dongle" isn't, technically, a thing. If the design of a hardware dongle is Open Source, then it can be forked. Sorry, you did you did what you were afraid of but by movng in the opposite direction you thought.
Open source dongles are good, everyone is welcome to fork our repos: http://www.github.com/imx6-dongle/
So you are one of the few people who have a proper answer to the question "What?" when people see you wearing that shirt :)
Makes sense to me (native English speaker), albeit in a non-Euclidian kind of way. Apparently in Spanish and a few other languages they are too, though this seems to be a minority. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fork#Translations
I have a mentally handicapped son and your use of the word retarded offends me. Pick another word? (And by the way, I do agree with your premise).
Being offended is your problem, not his. Have we learned nothing in the last 24 hours?!
I wouldn't go as far as to say that the lesson learnt recently is "If people get offended at anything it's their fault". If you think that's the case then I've got a Westboro Baptist Church to sell you...

I think the WBC is amusing. I'm deeply saddened by the fact that the top-supported petition on whitehouse.gov is a request for their free speech rights to be curtailed.

Don’t handicapped and retarded me pretty much the same thing? Why does one offend and you use the other freely?
Well, "handicapped" means having a condition that hampers your ability to function optimally, whereas "retarded" means backwards, mentally less advanced, stupid. "Retarded" is very obviously the more pejorative term. Personally I avoid using the term "retarded" because of the extremely negative/unpleasant connotations surrounding the use of the term "retard" in our culture. I know that by invoking either of those words I could make people with handicapped loved ones feel uncomfortable. Yes for now the full choice of my vocabulary is curtailed, but it's called consideration, and it makes you and the people around you feel good. In the meantime there's plenty of other enjoyable/juicy/harmless words to use for something you want to criticise.
Karen Cheng appears to be a woman. Or are you using 'guys' in the gender-neutral sense?
I was sort of using it in the "As best I can tell, all these people are dudes", sense. Like, Finbarr is a dude. If there's a girl involved, maybe that's less terrible. And yes, I realize how ridiculous that is, but that's just kinda how these things work.
It has her name at the bottom right alongside Finbarr's.
