I tried one once, and was impressed with how much stuff it found and fixed.
So I ran it again, immediately afterwards - and it found even more after it had fixed 'em. Never used one again.

I have seen plenty of great examples in theory, I'd rather read 5 posts and see the application working well in practical, stable and not just one site.

Today the wife gave me a package and said "Open this". It was a plastic container holding a pair of Chef's shears. I'm the one around here who has to open all packaging or bottles, etc. The plastic was too hard to open with my bare hands. I immediately thought of Asimov's story.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, your post is too vague.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

 You did read the very short story in your title? My reply was an apparrently vague and confusing reference to the story...
I'm an Asimov fan, have most of the books.

Yes I did read this story, in 1957 as a matter of fact.
In the story the space travelers were being supplied with instruments they needed, but the instruments were packaged dis-assembled, with a set of confusing instructions about how to re-assemble the instruments. They requested a robot that knew how to assemble the instruments. It was shipped, and came dis-assembled, with a confusing set of instructions about how to re-assemble the robot.
I was given a package which I couldn't open because the plastic was too tough to open with my bare hands. Whet I needed was a good pair of shears. The package contained those very shears.

You didn't need to, nor will I explain my reponse for the same reason.

If it's any consolation, in the 80s I worked for a company making VDTs - Terminals, big heavy metal terminals[^] for computers. They were shipped in a big box that opened at the top, and the unpacking instructions were...on the bottom, under the terminal.

Yes, Google knows all
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

They then tell Google. Most of it.

I was raised on his books and have read the (original) Foundation series many times. Only Clarke or Niven/Pournelle (Ringworld) come close.

You just named the masters, I have them all. I can't really get used to reading on-line or e-readers. There is just something about curling up in my easy chair with a good book.

I've tried Kindle. I liked it. But I prefer the real thing. Besides, what sort of a home doesn't have books?

No, I didn't. Never liked his writing.

Oh, you didn't? Well, I bet he wouldn't like yours either!
