On an internal mailing list about home maintenance and ownership, somebody asked:
I have a handful of items that I need to get rid of and probably should not toss into the regular garbage. Any thoughts?
- Older TV — 32″
- Propane tanks (full)
- Lighter fluid
- Carpet glue adhesive
- Lawn fertilizer
The best reply was an unhelpful one.
You’ve pretty much got all the components you need to build a bomb. Why dispose of them?
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.
