Quote from Trader666:
What shows your ignorance is your words: "if you were a trader you would know where those companies originate." And your silly arguments using the IIX and apples to oranges revenue comparisons.

What is your problem with blacks. Did one bone your wife or daughter? How do you quantify blacks being a drag on society. I say you are a drag on society so now it is up to you to prove me wrong. Have you been to Asian & Hispanic areas in most communities? It is like you are not in the same country anymore. They tend to not integrate into the larger community. Every group of Americans has there perceived positives and negatives. I bet your just one of those people that lives in cookie cutter America and believes everything fox news tells you.

Quote from MRBRETTONWOODS:
So you are blatantly attacking a post without understanding the post and the companies involved. That is very perceptive.
You still have not shown how the IIX contradicts the overall patents.
You still have not shown the off shoots.
Show proof, if you could you would.![]()
Quote from Trader666:
Oh please... that was a minor oversight but my overall argument is sound, unlike yours. And that is, it's meaningless to compare (as you did) the revenues of some companies headquartered in four countries with the revenues of some companies headquartered in the U.S. Dispute that
As for the IIX and patents, if you don't understand this have an adult explain it to you:

On the offshoots you're wrong again. Where do you think SPARC came from for example? Answer: Sun Microsystems in the 80s. You research the rest because you're the ignorant one.
It must suck to be as jaded and jealous as you.
Quote from MRBRETTONWOODS:
You have no evidence for your argument.
The IIX is not limited to patent data, it has other elements, it does not contradict the patent data.
Sparc came from Sun Micro, but who mostly actively develops, designs and manufactures it, not Sun anymore. The original sparc is radically different from the one today, it was based on a motorola chip and they are not compatible at all.
You were saying that all the innovations outside the US were not important, and then you mentioned Microsoft, Cisco, etc.
What have they done compared to the non-US companies, compare their "innovation".
The revenue was mentioned, as it shows how popular products developed by those companies are, and how widely they are used, it has had a large impact.
We can go back to ancient iraq and find offshoots.
The bottom line is that when the dollar empire collapses, which it will all of the credit to finance the "innovation" will disappear.
More ad hominem attacks, you are the one sounding like a child.
Quote from Trader666:
On the IIX, as I said, have an adult explain my post to you because what you're saying here clearly shows you don't understand what I wrote.
On SPARC, you said I couldn't show any offshoots so that was just a quick example to prove you wrong -- again.
I never said "all the innovations outside the US were not important." I asked you to "name all the great technical innovations that have come from outside the U.S. in the last decade or two" -- and you named none.
In addition to being ignorant and having reading comprehension problems, you lack critical reasoning skills. Your revenue example is a meaningless comparison of apples to oranges. I could explain why but I doubt you'd understand.
As for my ad hominem attacks... I simply have no respect for jaded, jealous morons like you. So too f'ing bad. But at least I'm not a hypocrite because you've made them too.
