All the Chinese want is a stable enough environment for doing business and allowing their million+ workers living there live and work safely.
And the Chinese are widely hated by the native people because none of the jobs, and none of the money goes to the Africans. There's no meaningful economic development because the chinese money goes to the chinese workers, who shop at chinese stores that employ more chinese people.
Your fiction is lovely... but it's fiction. It shows only that you've never been to Africa.
but like most of the unsuccessful wantrepreneurs on HN, you're never one to let a total and complete lack of knowledge or understanding prevent you from having strong opinions.
There's already work going on to port newer ZFS (w/deduplication) to FreeBSD. The biggest outlying question is if it will only be in 9, or if it might make it into 8.x.
There's a difference between a defensive and an offensive patent portfolio.
The fact that you choose not only to ignore it, but to declare holders of them 'evil' shows that you're a child.

This might illustrate how utterly moronic your statement was:
> I would take a proven entrepreneur over a random CS grad and a proven uber-coder-geek over a random CS grad any day of the week, and most VCs would too.
Sure... it's still true. But it's only true because your original statement is utter nonsense.
Where exactly does he say he wants to beat competitors with better information?
Oh right, nowhere. He probably wants to beat out a bunch of pointless white noise.
But hey... thanks for being a retard who thinks it's cool to accuse people of spamming because they're interested in making sure they show up in an appropriate place in the search marketplace!
Sure, if you ignore that massively obvious piece of information, you have a point. But if you take it into account, you really don't have one at all.
As so often happens, you've spewed a lot of words, but said absolutely nothing of value.
