I just lost billions of potential dollars, because some college kid couldn't see the practical applications and published. What would your response be?

What if you were sleeping in someone else's garage, it was less than freezing temperature outside, someone had stolen your car a few weeks ago, and you had put your own kneecaps on the line as collateral? What would it be then?

Frankly, I think I'm holding together rather well given my circumstances.

Relax, dude, I've heard exactly this idea pitched by 2 other people, you'd have been up against "douchenozzles" even if this "douchenozzle" hadn't published.

I think this further illustrates the theory put forth that ideas are worthless, and it's only implementations that matter.

Your calmness index is pretty low right now. I wonder how this will affect the market.
