- jchris said: @al3x's rules pretty much describe my computing philosophy. I hadn't really ruleified them yet, but these would be them if I did. It reminds of a (non-computing) rule that I have for myself, which makes my life way easier (and healthier):If it's possible to buy it at a gas station, it's not food, and I won't eat it or drink it.
