He named his FIRST version "2.0". He argued that no one would buy a version 1.0. Event that software was more crappy than the usual "state of art" software.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

At JavaOne today, Oracle finally detailed its plans to address the neglected enterprise Java platform. Alongside that road map came new information on the in-development Java SE 9 and OpenJDK 9. Soon to catch up with the features other languages are bored of having

Microsoft is reportedly working on a new, cross-platform Skype client. The app, which is apparently codenamed “Skype for Life” will be available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Hopefully - with good behavior - we can be released after 20 years

This past week, thousands of HP Inc. printer owners were notified by their printers that their ink cartridges were "damaged" and needed to be replaced. And this is how we develop brand loyalty

And their competiton - one and all - howled with glee. The waves of people switching away from HP will look like a Japanese wood cut.

This probably explains why my printer ink cartridge (from HP) failed. I have membership in HP's "Instant Ink" program where they'll automatically ship you "new" cartridges when the printer detects you will be needing a new one soon.

Ink cartridge are hell in tiny packages. Retail stores sell printers for which they don't have the cartridges and more often than not a full set costs about as much as the printer.
My future policy will be buyingo only 20$ printers and trying to refill their cartridges with cheap ink - if they fail just trash that and buy the next one. Cheaper on the long run if one does not print in large amounts.

Even without trying is still cheaper

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Yes, it is even without trying to refill them - but then 3€ for a liter of black ink may be worth the cost for a while.

Depends.. Usually the cartridges sold with the printer contain an absolutely minimal amount of ink
I suppose you don't want to buy a new printer each time you print like 5 pages.

When you're installing your app and its dependencies BUT NOT .NET Core itself, you're dependent on .NET Core already being on the target machine. That's fine for Web Apps or systems with lots of apps, but what if I want to write an app and give it to you as zip or on a USB key and and I just want it to work. I'll include .NET Core as well so the whole thing is a Self Contained Deployment. Applications without DLLs? That's just crazy talk
