The crazier thing is that other bettors know people with inside info are cheating and don’t care.

This is just like gambling on sports when you know that the players are also betting. It’s insane.

The only winning move is not to play.

By that definition no one owns any open standard. Either way this was an academic argument to start with, so it’s not worth belaboring.

I’d have had a 4.0 if i got a 50% for not doing my work.

Luckily it didn’t get to /home, but it did wipe out /bin and /etc. I had to rebuild the OS. I learned.

Oddly enough, the old joke was “it says My Computer because Bill Gates thinks it’s his.”

I do agree with the sentiment of the meme and your comment.

TBF most animals are much nicer than humans.

That was my number in high school football.

Lacock loves beavers.

And Slackware is no clothes at all.
