    At least he didn't try to chuck a blockchain at it.

  2. I'd say the take-away is don't go to DeVry, then you won't try and apply contract law to things that aren't contracts like es330td did.

    I thought there was something called a "battlefield will", but Google says no. That jasmine tea must have been something else.

    You could equally argue that if he'd really had second thoughts he'd have deleted it.

    This, I suspect, is why most jurisdictions require witnesses and/or going through a neutral party.

  5. The fucking word's so overused it barely means anything any more.

    Like Kato Kaelin "pivoted" from an actor to a gardener.

  6. The last dollar we'll roll into a join and smoke it

    Joins are not webscale.

    For those who use metric, it's a bit less than three standard Belgiums.

    Fragmentation within a specific platform tends to be bad. Fragmentation as in having multiple platforms available, not so much.

    It still makes it a pain in the ass for developers, with the result that they'll focus on the biggest ones first and get round to the others later. In practice, that means never.

    For the customer? I guess it depends whether they want to run anything or not.

    The simplest answer would be "Because God wills it" - whatever the question is.

    Saloon bar scientist fails it.

    I just looked behind our couch and found exactly the same thing.

    Competition is good. Fragmentation is bad. Fragmentation is worse than bad if you're an app developer; it's the devil's very own acidic jizz.

    In many industries you seem to get a big one, a medium one, and a small one. Then there's the rest whose market share added together is basically noise that therefore aren't worth bothering with and so nobody bothers with them.

    For example, Windows, MacOS, Linux on the desktop. Android, Whatever iPhones run, Windows mobile on phones.

    It might be somebody's law or something.

    They do that? I thought they hired "do-the-needfuls", "make-it-ups" and "sod-it-we'll-fix-it-in-the-next-service-packs".
