If the customers fall for the superstition, it will be self-fulfilling. Customers would avoid version 13, and so MS would seem to have bad luck in the form of poor sales.
The thing about lotteries is that they defy physics. Take a machine designed to give out specific units of force, and balls designed to weigh the same weight they are prescribed, and you've got a very predictable physical system.
Fine. I won't write software. I will write books. In a nice OCRable font. About a nice piece of fiction of how to translate the narrative into executable code.
Nah. When a private corporation fubars over something as important as cars, there is usually an investigation by a government organization. The news here is that this one organization needs to borrow engineers from another to do it properly.
Every time there was a glitch in the network; every student, professor, and staff member at the university lost the ability to do anything on their computer--they couldn't so much as type a Word document.
Meh. That's true for my workplace despite our thick clients. Network folders, Internet connection, Active Directory... If anything goes down the office just sort of grinds to a halt.

Gates hasn't been hurt too badly...
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. (John 8:7)
Read the footnotes on that one.
He may have been confusing Fedora's legality with Red Hat's.
Wait, is it legal to use/copy/share Red Hat (the real thing, not CentOS) without purchasing support?
Have you enabled the multiverse repo?
Developed by BBC. And (IIRC) not finished yet.

Better than the smoke signals I used.
You've never been here on April 1st?
...a minimum wage of $7.50/hr or whatever California charges these days...
$8.00
Meh. Law doesn't account for actually physical maturity. As long as it's eighteen...
I don't care how long it takes, as long as I have a towel available when I need it. Leave it to do your laundry during the day while you're asleep.
How resistant would this be to Ford Edsel-like hype? Would we get another one of these?

I vote they fire everyone except Heisenberg and the puppy.

Predictable for how long?
3rd. 2nd of you consider Youtube separately.
Yes

Eh. Just sell it as an ebook.
Could someone translate that into something nice and readable? x86 Assembly, maybe?

If you eat extreme amounts of salt, you could even die from dehydration.
There is no substance that you can't overdose on in some way.
The US on the other hand, well, 10 nuclear carriers...
Surely 120 nukes are cheaper than 10 carriers...and there goes American firepower projection.
