    Quite a response but for one thing, you did not help at all. I have no idea what the kid said that cause so much devastation. or why it did.

    There's this company called Google? They make a search engine? You can use that search engine to find out what this former Google employee said. Try it, you might like it.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, Google is my preferred way to Bing for information.

    On a related note, I ran across this post on Free Republic and was amused:

    "Funny/odd....I just typed Liberty Daily into my Bing search, and it came up as Lion of Liberty site."

    Their boycott of Google has pushed them to Bing which, apparently, isn't serving them too well.

    You're normally not incoherent. It was an honest question.

    What I said is very coherent, that is exactly what Google's ceo wrote, I just added the numbers and translated with some swear words - better to fire one engineer than piss off 5000

    As Google's CEO clearly said - he crossed a line when he caused almost 5,000 employees to wonder if they are treated equally and the company believes the can be as good as or better than other engineers because of their sex.

    Uhhhhhh, this yours or the Google CEO? Makes no sense whatsoever. And nonsense works fine, none-sense?

    Seems coherent to me, though it could be worded for slightly better clarity, I guess.

    "As Google's CEO clearly said - he crossed a line when he caused almost 5,000 employees to wonder if they are treated equally and to wonder whether the company believes they can be as good as or better than other engineers because of their sex."

    We do not want any idiots that make a lot of our engineers and programmers feel unhappy - seriously - your argument that it is hard to lose good engineers and developers is exactly why they had to get rid of his ass

    So this is Google's CEO speaking and you speaking to MarAzul at the same time?

    Yeah, I'm going to have to go with a Merlot being the root of this.

    Not a Merlot guy, but if you find that Minstrel has done a better job at making it coherent - please mention this option on all future requests and I will try to route my answers with this option turned on.
