It's a fuzzy science, similar to cooking.

Sometimes you try stuff, make predictions, and it turns out great.

Sometimes you try stuff, make predictions, and it's dreadful. Like my famous "Peanut Butter & Haggis" recipe, or pickle-flavored ice cream.

Perhaps you just didn't market it right. I suggest advertising your pickle flavored ice cream in magazines for pregnant women or stoners.

Comment, comment, comment. And don't get too creative with your regular expressions.
And don't try to make your script into one line unless it is in fact trivial. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

I mean, yeah, I guess it would be kind of cool to run Windows x86 binaries on certain models of smartphone and all, but honestly, under what conditions did they think this would be useful (beyond the obvious 'gee whiz' factor)?

I can see certain applications where it might be a good idea to deploy a legacy Windows application to tablets, but even in those situations it would usually be better to host the application on Citrix or some other application virtualization layer running on a server than have them running natively on the tablet.

s/make money/make her money and leave the shareholders, er, citizens with a big mess after she leaves office/

When she was fired, after making that mess, she got a 21.4 million severance package. Imagine making more money for being shitcanned than most of us will make in our lifetime.

I can only hope to someday f*ck up so badly that someone will pay me $21M to go away...
