the absolutely provable lies I caught

You didn't prove anything was a lie, at best you proved the author made an insignificant mistake on minor peripheral issues. A "lie" is something someone says when they know it to be absolutely false, such as the lie you willingly and knowingly perpetuated for months that some Unix developer was a Russian hacker when you were trying to defend actual Russian hackers who were violating US intellectual property laws. I'll be happy to link it, but since it was just a few days ago that you admitted it, I'm sure you still remember. THAT was a "lie", hopefully you won't confuse the two again.

Geez, is that just classic or what? GE lecturing someone on the difference between a lie and making an "insignificant mistake on a minor peripheral issue". I think my irony meter just broke. Next he's going to come out against someone twisting semantics.

I did prove there were "numerous inaccuracies and misrepresentations," as was my initial claim in this thread. Lyons always has this problem when writing about OSS, therefore he should not be trusted.

There's a difference between a lie meant to factually deceive and stringing along an idiot who should have been able to catch it if he knew as much as he claimed he did.

You see there's a little problem. They're in Russia. US laws do not apply. Aside from that, what I did say was legal was emulating EFI, which doesn't belong to Apple, but Intel, who has open-sourced much of the code for it anyway.
