I find it rather ironic that someone who has claimed to be a Linux guru (via private email) and who has claimed to have "gigs with Microsoft" can spend a "solid week" not being able to build an app and throws a chest-thumping, egotistical temper tantrum whenever anything doesn't immediately go his way. If you have the credentials you say you have, then why the hell don't you just shut up, buckle down, do a little work, and take care of your problems? (Instead of belching your Mordorsoft Nazgul-breath all over happy little Xconqshire? And instead of trying to bully and prod others to think and work for you?)
