Dave Thomas, programming book author and Ruby evangelist presented the keynote at RailsConf2008; "There's a sound that no presenter wants to hear, and that's dead silence. And that's what greeted me when I made a suggestion in my RubyConf keynote [...]. I think by the end of the talk, though, most people were convinced." This is one of the best programming topic presentations I have ever seen. Even if you've never written a line of Ruby, you'll find it perfectly clear-and enjoyable. Watch, and then "read more" for Kroc's personal commentary on the issues raised.

You obviously have not watched the presentation, and you just made a fool of yourself shooting off your mouth, as per usual, segedunum.
Watch the presentation, and then come back and discuss it rationally, please. After you even know what it was that he actually said.
P.S. I'd also recommend a rabies test. Except that I think that the most affordable kind involves cutting the subject's head off and sending it to the lab.
