@waclark57: Kind of like all the different branches of the Android OS on every single Android smartphone? Or all the for-profit Linux distros? Including all the set top boxes and smart TVs that have embedded Linux derived OSes?

@waclark57: But then your definition of "open", necessarily, can never apply to a successful, large corporation. I.e., it's a truism.

@waclark57: I'm not talking about how California was open in the general sense. I'm talking about what Jobs meant when he said it. He wasn't talking about the migrations of peoples (though I'm sure there was a lot of that). He was, like I said, talking about the "anything goes" mindset of the people there.

@Canon7D-Fanboy: @QLAB:

Too many thick people here, it's a pain to wade through.

Yes, the irony is almost as thick as you my dear Canon Fanboy, when you can't even distinguish between the meaning of "open" when applied to (a) California, as Jobs used it, and (b) Apple, as you used it, and yet you talk about Jobs's brains being fried.

I can't tell what's going on in the movie at all in this 1.5 minute trailer!!!1! The movie, therefore, must suck!!!111!

@Black Knight Rebel: Damn straight. Sure, the kid was warped then, but I'll bet dollars for donuts that his fuckwad brother was at least 70% responsible for his derangement.

@Mitchell Martinez: Give the woman a break. She obviously worships the joint.

Wait, so it's been an hour and you still haven't gone to your second can? Dunno, bro. Not enough science.

Or that the peer review system is working well in the US.

@cycle-ops: Have you ever considered that you just described two very different sets of people?

Oh how I love all the brain-dead comments here :LOL:

I think that explains why I like boobs.

@Bassem B.: Have you ever heard him talk? He knows humor.

@Maltose: Sure. And I'm pretty sure the construction industry was part of the foundation laying, too :-)

@The Lone Scout: Think. Having offsprings with first cousins increase the risk of genetic defects. However, this increase in risk is very small just a fraction of a percent. It is low enough that in many *modern* cultures, even first world countries, it is perfectly legal to marry your cousin.

@MacAttack: Exactly. If the point really is about how *you* feel about it Joel, just go use the coupon when you wouldn't have gone were it not for the coupon. That would mean that you shouldn't keep the coupon folded up in your wallet until the occasion arrises, but being proactive about going to those joints one…

@dosdelon: So true. I will take anything that the Chinese construction industry says with a fist-size lump of rock-salt. They are notoriously... shall we say, standards non-compliant when it comes to construction.

@Bassem B.: If Stephen Hawking saw that he'd laugh his head off. In his robot voice, of course.
