Wendy’s is getting rid of “Biggie” and “Great Biggie” size drinks and fries from their menu. Oh, they’re still offering them, just with a different name. What used to be “Biggie” is now “medium” and what used to be “Great Biggie” is now “large”. Even the “small” drink is a massive 20 ounces, or two and a half FDA servings.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
