And thus Google was born - NOT!

Geeks fail in business almost all the time because they don't see the value (or lack thereof) of what they are doing. They just see a technical problem.

Without Steve Jobs (business brain), Steve Wozniak (geek brain) would be working in a TV repair shop now.

It is the minimal necessary goalpost that is required for success. What's good in business plan if product is sh1t?

Arrogance, hostility and ineptitude in equal measure - the ultimate sales pitch!

Surely this boy go far

p.s. Looked at your C# code for the HTML parser and it...

SUCKS BIG TIME!

More magic number than Mystic Meg's lotto predictions!

As for your unsafe code optimisations

Sorry, didn't want to get personal, but get your head out of your arse and listen to the people on this forum that might actually know a thing or two.

How do you come to that conclusion, from being advised to look at all aspects of a project? It is clear from some of your recent comments that you are beginning to lose the plot. There are some very experienced people here who have seen it all. And yes some of us were reading Knuth when your mother was wiping snot off your nose.
