[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hacre:
Oh no I lost a user of my kernel? Whatever shall I do? All that money I've lost from losing a customer! My reputation ruined! All that money per click on my download links! One less person using up bandwidth on a dedicated gigabit server I pay for, by myself, so that people who do use my kernel don't have to **** around with nag screen filled/wait to download multidownload sites?

Also since when does this:

class as abuse? You consider that abuse? You must be one precious wee sheltered snowflake. I didn't even call you any names or bring your intellect into question or anything.

Congratulations on finding a developer willing to hold your hand. Hopefully you learned from the experience. I was kind of hoping you'd learn to help yourself, I was actually impressed when you got mad and figured out the error in the Makefile, unfortunately it seems supercurio found it, not you.

There's an old saying. Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll eat forever. The guy that mentored me drummed into me early, before we had fancy things like Google, to search and try to figure problems out, not go running to the nearest techie and ask to be spoonfed. As a result I'm rather self sufficient in my learning and figuring things out and as a result I learn a lot more about the thing I'm researching. This is sound advice for any developer. While you lot feel I'm being an asshole by not spoonfeeding you the answer to every question when you're expressing a wish to learn to develop/compile kernels etc, you'd do well to realise that finding the answers yourself improves retention of knowledge and it also improves your research skills. Better research skills? Better developer! What are you going to do when the day comes (and it will) when no one around you knows the answer and you've been spoonfed up to that point? You're going to be stuck, bereft of any research skills. What happens if that occurs in a job or something you're actually making some money from? Not going to look so clever then are you?

Not only that, I'm not actually here to teach people the basics of compiling a kernel. There's a plethora of information on how to do that all over the internet already. I'm not all that big on reinventing wheels. To accuse me of being an asshole because I don't take time out of my day to hold some stranger's hand through a basic build process that's already documented everywhere after I've spent hours upon hours of my free time working on a project and giving it away for free is really ****ing ungrateful. Tossing your toys out of your pram and throwing a tantrum because someone said "no" to you for the first time in your life indicates to me that you've got some very important life lessons to learn sunshine and more pressing issues than trying to figure out how to compile a kernel for your phone.

As for you, waahh. Ever considered why a lot of my **** slides? Maybe because there's a lot of truth in it and maybe because the admin staff want to turn around this failboat full of whiny over expectant idiots that make life really hard not only for developers, but for intelligent people coming here interested in getting into development and actually interested in learning and self teaching, or contributing to projects, rather than doing little other than looking for handouts. You know, what a DEVELOPER site is actually for.

If you don't like my posts, my threads or my work that's fine with me. Put me on ignore, avoid my threads, don't use my work, I honestly could not give a toss. I pride myself on the projects I produce and strive to make them as good as possible. Every single person that provides me useful non idiotic feedback is treated politely, actioned in the code if need be, or assistance given. You're moaning about post 5? Post 5 is a deterrent. There's what, 10 entrants there? Can you honestly tell me not one of the people I quoted in that thread weren't Given the number of downloads, replies, views and PMs of thanks I've had for that thread and for post 5 I'd say my averages look pretty good.

While we're at it, why are you both so butthurt about what a complete stranger on the internet said to you or anyone else, anyway?
