Title: It's time for the retard of the year award!
Post by: Kudistos Megistos on 2011-06-08 18:34:11
I think that Kula Wende's real name might be Michael J Hardy :3

I (MICHAEL HARDY) GOT THE IDEA TO CREATE CREATIVE-C++ IN THE YEAR 2000 - BEFORE I HAD VC++. I NEEDED A C/C++ PROGRAMMING DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT THAT WOULD SUIT MY NEEDS. THE ONLY PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE I HAD IN 2000 WAS DELPHI 6 PERSONAL EDITION. SO I FIRED UP DELPHI 6 AND BEGAN WORK ON CREATIVE-C++. IN 2000 MY PROGRAMMING SKILLS WAS VERY LIMITED AND I WAS USE TO USING QUICKBASIC AND TURBO PASCAL. I WANTED TO LEARN C/C++ SO I MADE MY OWN IDE AND IT USES THE MINGW GCC COMPILER SYSTEM AS THE BASIS OF IT'S COMPILER. CREATIVE-C++ HAD SEVERAL NAMES BEFORE IT BECAME CREATIVE-C++. IT WAS NAMED WISHMASTER-C++, AMITYVILLE-C++, BRAINSCAN-C++ AND NOW FINALLY IN 2011 ITS CALLED CREATIVE-C++ WHICH IT WILL REMAIN WITH THAT NAME. IN 2000 I LICENSED THE SOURCE CODE TO CREATIVE-C++ TO BLOODSHED SOFTWARE (COLIN LAPLACE) WHO USED MY CODE TO MAKE DEV-C++. HE HAD SOME GREAT IDEAS FOR THE IDE AND AT THAT TIME IT WAS V4. NOW IN 2011 I REGAINED CONTROL OF MY CREATIVE-C++ GIVE IT MORE FEATURES AND A SKINNABLE INTERFACE AND A NEW TOOL CALLED PACK MAKER. ALL THREE PROGRAMS THAT ARE INCLUDED WITH CREATIVE-C++ (CREATIVEIDE.EXE, PACKMAN.EXE AND PACK MAKER.EXE) ALL HAS A SKINNABLE GUI.

(yes, he ripped of Dev-C++ and then accused the actual creator of ripping him off)

He has other products too!

(Yes, that's his face on the wall)

He has a site for his "foundation", where you can download or buy his crap:

http://www.hardyfoundation.com/products.html

I'm not sure what's more astonishing. Is it the fact that he is stupid enough to take both free and commercial software, including rip-offs of Nintendo games (http://www.mariowar.com/), pretend that he made it, sell it and actually put his name and face everywhere? Or is it the fact that he hasn't been bankrupted by copyright suits yet? Perhaps copyright holders aren't suing him because they feel pity thanks to his obvious learning disability.

Seems to be some problems with his site though, creativecpp.com (http://creativecpp.com/)...

Yes, that would be the 4chan effect; I suspect that his site is one of those that one can DDoS accidentally by pressing the refresh button too many times. ;D

He's taking credit for Media Player Classic Home Cinema? One of my top five favorite PC apps? Okay, now I'm angry.

MPC-HC's About Page (http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/about-player.html)
Michael Hardy's MPC-HC About Page (http://www.themultimediaplayer.com/about-player.html)

He's even stealing site layouts. Holy crap. Also, I laughed at this small difference between the sites' banners (they may display wrong on small screens, as they're in two parts each):

Official MPC-HC banner
(http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/images/mpc-hc-logo.jpg)(http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/images/header.jpg)

Michael Hardy's MPC-HC banner
(http://www.themultimediaplayer.com/images/mpc-hc-logo.jpg)(http://www.themultimediaplayer.com/images/header.jpg)

Most apparent change is that on the left side he swapped Ratatouille for the far shittier Joy Ride 2. He doesn't seem to have replaced the mirror image though (which was reflected wrong even in the original). He also stuck his name at the top of the banner, and poorly edited out the mention of x64 support, probably since his download page only provides 32-bit binaries (with an astonishing "9.54 Mega-Bytes Download Size..."). Looks like he couldn't even be bothered to realign the feature list, so it looks remarkably stupid now.

I don't have enough headshakes for a guy like this.

I'm seriously considering calling troll on this. I mean, is it even possible for humans to be so stupid? IS IT?

And the worst thing is that he claims to be breeding. Dysgenics FTL.

He also reminds me of Robert Mugabe and Kim Jong Il; it's the combination of egoism and incredibly brazen lies that are so obviously false that they're an insult.

Wise words.

Ok, so I'll let you be the judge. Is MJH trollin'?

My god! How many pages of shit have they dug up on this guy. I am on page 10 already.

It's not surprising that so much shit has been dug up. After all, he sticks his name on everything he does.

One can't help but wonder who on earth buys his shit.

If someone really wants to find the guy, there are plenty of ways of doing so.

Come to think of it, isn't it a bit bizarre that a habitual thief would emblazon his name and face over his 'releases'?

Yes it is.

But we're not dealing with a very intelligent person here.

he got better lately, of you read up to page 11, but still needs some work. he has a browser wrapper that he needs to benchmark to prove his performance claims, and also Tails is on the logo. remember, it's good to use constructive criticism with the retarded.

Wow, such a level of carelessness. One like I've ever seen before, I don't think this guy is stupid, he just doesnt give a fuck about anything.

He doesnt care if he steals games and doesnt give credit. He doesnt care if he rips off things that 80% of people could instantly recognize as ripped off. There's that one, off chance, that some severely mentally challenged individual will buy something from him.

This guy is so blatantly ignorant to what his actions actually are that it sickens me. You do realize that this person likely thinks he has done no wrong? He is also likely never to be convinced of it.

To me he has a slight form of sociopathy, for lack of a better phrase.

It's something far simpler than that - copyright / IP holders can't afford to start suits against people who can't cover the legal costs.

What the fuck? I read most of it. I like how he praises the blog for making him famous because people email him asking him how to hack.

and LOL at him stealing RTCW and claiming it as his own.
