It's hard to keep milk and bread fresh as long as other things, so you don't buy as much in advance, and therefore run out sooner. I can buy several weeks of stuff in advance, but not several weeks of milk and bread, or it'll

It's the concept of "no code software development" applied to law, and it'll have the same problems. Edge cases by the million. I wouldn't trust a computer to be my doctor, and I wouldn't trust one to be my law

Wow, thank you for the correction, the movie made it sound like he was gone. The ending to the console wars movie was basically "Sega failed, Nintendo was runner up, and Sony won", but didn't cover the almost-made-it Dreamcas

People always argue what "open source" means, but we all know damn well what it means in the colloquial sense now. It means the source is available, and you can use it under some very permissive terms, and there is no barrier to a
