some people, when you disagree with them (or even if they _perceive_ you disagree), will incorrectly attribute your disagreement as showing "you hate everything and anything". it doesn't matter how much evidence you submit in support of your arguments, the "fact" that "you hate everything and anything" is all-purpose. is dave one of those people? decide for yourself. but i can assure you that the dynamics of communit…
Very poetic, but what does it mean????????

decide for yourself, dave.
(by the way, one question-mark is quite enough to mark something as a question, i have found.)

also, "bowerbird" is my performance poetry name -- which i now use for all creative purposes -- so it's not some name that i am "hiding behind". i've signed all my posts on the web since 1995. and i'm still using the @aol address i had then.
if george orwell was coming here, would you want him to use "george orwell", or his "real" name?
how about mark twain? or beyonce's husband?
indeed, you can call me any time at 310.980.9202, if you want to confirm that i am "a real person", or discuss the specifics of anything i've posted.

p.s. i also appear regularly on poetry stages here in los angeles, if you happen to be in town.

#174Well since you can have hardware emulator in javascript, we surely became less impressed in what you can run in the browser. example that come in mind http://bellard.org/jslinux/index.html
This is why the internet is bad for your self-image. In the whole world there are only a handful of people who could write something like jslinux. But, because of the internet, we have all seen it and consider this the reference to live up to. Well, most people cannot ever live up to fabrice bellard. I'm sure my work will never live up to his work. Does that mean all my work is automatically rubbish? In my opinion, w…
This is why I didn't work in computer graphics and choose to be a lowly web developer instead :p

Funny how when you get trapped in your hypocrisy you get "tired" of offering what you call constructive criticism.
Not sure I'm seeing the hypocrisy there, please expand. I am mostly just getting tired of YOU trolling Hacker News, That is one hypocrisy I'm seeing, you complaining about trolls when you are the one doing it. This thread just isn't productive or interesting any more. It seems to be mostly designed to get attention. Based on the posts of others you seem to have been trolling here for a while. The other hypocrisy I'm…
The hypocrisy is this.
How could anyone give you constructive criticism...
If we don't know who you are! :-)
