Ahhh, the eternel dilemna they face. Either recreate the wheel and get complaints about that, or re-use the wheel and have people "crack up" about you doing that.
- dehrmann 7y agoWhat cracks me up is the irony of seeing ...\etc\hosts on Windows, not the entire decision.
- nolok 7y agoThen I don't understand your comment. What's the irony in there ? Or do you mean humor instead of irony / is it not irony at all ?
- toyg 7y agoThe irony is that “etc” makes no sense whatsoever in Windows, and particularly in that place. It probably came about because it was easier to have it there than to patch whatever bit of code they borrowed, and it’s now likely vestigial, but probably there is too much stuff relying on it to change things. The irony is in an OS trying extremely hard to not be a unix, ending up with unixy folder names because laziness.
