I read part of it and I just know it has something to do with economics and profit gaining, but I did not benefit from the act of modifying a timer(except the fact that I can now use a timer with functions that I want and need).

K073, to put it in simple terms.

You stole his work. Although its open source, he'd would like it if you had asked permission to tweak the program first. And after tweaking it a little, you call it your timer even though the whole idea of the timer, the features on it, was all blah's idea. All you did was add on things like scramble picture and a few other stuff. Although you gave some credit to him, it still doesn't solve the problem that you practically stole his work.

There's more but I can't think of it since I'm hungry. Someone else finish this, and please make is clear and simple, don't use bombastic words or beautiful literature, just put out the points.

ok, never mind. Blah, it's your call, I can delete the timer from the web if you want. I'm ok with that, but I'll still be using my version.

@mazei: I did not just tweak it a little, it has lots of changes and functions added and removed, like full screen, scramble preview, new hot keys, spacebar status, full statistics etc. I'd always like black backgrounds so the timers look similar is just because of what I like and prefer.

With what he just said, I suggest everyone just give up.

I'll take your girlfriend, give her a facelift, have her get a boob job done, and then I'll use her.

But you know what? It's perfectly okay, because now it's my version of your girlfriend, so that means I'm not using your girlfriend.

Just remember to give credit and mention that she was his girlfriend originally.

Why is the timer still on the web?

It's Blah timer, and he told you to take it down and delete it. INCLUDING the copy on your computer. It's HIS intellectual property, and what you have done is ILLEGAL.
