Isn't there something about deaths happening in 3s? 1. Steve Jobs 2. Dennis Ritchie 3. John McCarthy

  Let's hope that it is limited to 3. I get terribly antsy just thinking about who else in computing has reached their 70's and 80's.

    Agreed, and the close proximity of their deaths makes me think that that's it for a set of 3.

  You can divide any list of more than three things into 3s.

    How can you divide a list of 4 things into 3s?
    • astrange 15y ago
      You can divide it 4 different ways (4! / 3! = 4). Since the list is necessarily infinite, two more will join it soon enough.
