He was dead tired I remember but determined to bring us there. Thank you Pascal! Read More

Our beloved news source Slashdot is reporting that Microsoft is about to help Ford to build cars that don't crash. The linked article on livescience reveals: "Eventually, Gates said, there could be a car that wouldn't let itself crash." Now, the obvious go to joke would be: "Right, this is the consequent development after they shipped the operating system that never crashes. Oh wait...". I would put it differently: "Thank god I don't own a Ford anymore..." Read More
