I'm not a judge. But I am certainly "technically competent" in computer science and computer chess.

We didn't get that kind of honesty however. We got "silence".
The rest is envie and character defamation. What you see as proof against Vas - that he doesnt speak - is for me just a typical style of a real gentleman. We should call him back!

No one doubts this simple fact Bob and if he does,he's either a liar or a moron or a combination of both....bob wrote:I'm not a judge.

If you declared it a fair way to even the playing field, that is supportive of it.bob wrote:And that has exactly what to do with my _SUPPORTING_ Ippo*?Albert Silver wrote:It comes from a neverending stream of posts of yours that contain statements such as:bob wrote:I'll say this again, "Bob doesn't support the Ippo* development".

Point 1 (of 1): Have you seen _any_ proof that Ippo* is an illegal copy of anything? I have not. Clearly there are copies of Ippo* running amok, but ippo* is an open-source program.Sam Hull wrote:There are flaws in your assumptions. The only thing "dictated" by ICD has been the prohibition of links to illegal or questionable software and sites that promote acquisition of it. This has been standard policy since the days when Steve owned the shop. The recent guidance did no more than reaffirm that stance and ask for more aggressive enforcement of it.bob wrote:If the owners of ICD want to dictate what is allowable and what is not, that represents a huge problem because it is an obvious conflict of interest. Steve _never_ made any such attempts.
