/prog/ - i before e cept after c

prog/

I had a great idea

search for statistically valid spelling rules like "i before e cept after c"

who is with me? this could be a great probject. Just need a dictionary with words counted by frequency of use in writing.

But that's not a valid spelling rule.

The controller circuit can be replaced with a user-supplied one. Hm, this is giving me plenty of ideas of new features like keeping food warm after it's done cooking or automatically calculating the time it takes for the heat to penetrate (say) meat given the weight and thickness. Thanks bro.

No worries, RMS! Looking forward to your epic battle with the forces of darkness when you realise that washing machines are non-free and therefore cannot be used (Expected to happen about 1982).

Just because you don't care about having your privacy and freedom raped by the highest bidder (government or corporation alike) doesn't mean anyone else has to. Fuck off, freedom-hating cretin.

I will, thank you. Closed-source code cannot be trusted, and violates my freedom of understanding how the product I bought works, as well as potentially violates my privacy and computer's security behind my back.
