Ahem, excuse me. With much respect sir, that is totally BULLSHIT! Making new economy by digging deeper into the already empty pockets?! Instead of recuperation and growing back?! Making innovations by mimicking or sole reliance on some proprietary technology and kowtow to them?! Instead of follow with the flow, why don't we establish something that people follows?! Succeed?! Personal or corporate success? How much did they contribute back?! Revenue?! Who can pay for the bill of rotting the creativity and already polluted minds?! Who pays the bill for the mentally retardation that bears hunger and thirst for more dependencies of those corporation?! Who gains most?! For the sake of patriotism (and for the sake of argument), who is now more foreign influenced?! Who is now more dependent on foreign power?! Who is now more kowtow to them! Wake up, time to stand on our own, look now where we are standing at!!!
Happy Holiday, Happy New Year and Happy Hacking... P/S: Hacker doesn't work with system, hacker makes improvement once and for all. Is that a rant now?
