It's one thing to copy the design of a marketing page (which is pretty weak), but to serve assets from that company's servers? Such an action is so idiotic and pathetic, that it's absurd. It's completely inexcusable and deserves to be called out whenever it happens.
Please, can the disingenuous hyperbole. Nobody is buying it.
Most importantly, not everyone has to buy into your idea of "professionalism." Thank god.
Wait, was this a subtle joke? Bob Saget's humor is very vulgar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctHArXFxu9A&feature=playe...
Not my cup of tea, but there it is.
Please don't compare DHH to Mark Twain or George Carling, entertainers by trade and leaders at such, and call me disingenuous. #fail
And if you haven't heard people cussing in "professional contexts," you must not work with any designers or developers of any caliber. Or serious businessmen and women. Unless you live and work in Utah or in a church, perhaps?
Your defense of DHH as an entertainer is hilarious. O'Reilly presents... An Evening with DHH.
This is indeed an open-and-shut case of blatant thievery and pathetic excuses and apologies, but let's not make it out to be the mother of all sins. 37signals will continue counting their millions in the morning and a light slap on the bare ass of a small-time thief would have been much more effective.
Somewhere else on this thread you called someone out on his/her analogies yet you invoke Samuel Clemons and George Carlin? Get it right, DHH is Andrew Dice Clay in this whole mess.
