Agree, but how would you feel if you got an Addison-Wesley t-shirt instead of a check for $2.56? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth_reward_check http://en.wiki

- oijaf888 13y agoYou did read that right? Knuth doesn't send real checks anymore due to check fraud. So the actual thing you get is comparable to a t-shirt (admittedly a very limited edition t-shirt).
- kozhevnikov 13y agoI did. The question was 'when did everyone become so entitled to getting something for reporting a bug' to which I provided a valid (or at least humorous) possible answer, i.e. since Knuth's reward checks became a status symbol.
