At some point we decided to switch to using year.month as our version number... so
5.04 = April 2005
6.11 = November 2006
etc.
After a while we switched back to normal numbering since the versioning made it obvious when our releases were late (always!).

extolling the virtues of the mountain biking helmet that I had bought for our son. And thanking me for having bought said helmet.
It was cracked in half as a result of his crashing on the mountain bike.
Helmet did not survive.
Son did survive, no head damage. Some "road rash". Man scars.
Glad for that! Thank God for little (big) miracles!

Bravo, Dad! Well done!!

And it is only slightly amusing that you had to brow beat the little bugger into wearing the helmet.
Glad it did it's job well and hopefully the road rash will make him slightly more cautious.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Glad he's safe and bravo for getting him to wear it.

Bravo!
And hopefully you'll be purchasing an identical one (if you haven't aldready done so)

Sounds like it actually fitted as well (nice one) - number of numpties you see wearing a skid lid that will be of no value when needed....

I prefer UUIDs, since they will still work after we are connected to alien civilizations.
|
|
|
|
|
We'll still have to switch to MUIDS once we send Jet Li to a different multiverse.
|
|
|
|

Oh man, I've been using UUIDs all this time, thinking I was safe. I *TOTALLY* forgot about the multiverse. Damn damn damn!!!!!

Just add a hex prefix - there are only 15 alternate universes..

Yes - but in one of them, there are 27 alternatives- so you need to check which one you are in.

Clever.
All three of you. Are the ones we've not seen before (fellow) Aussies too?

I don't really know as I don't communicate with my alter-egos in universes 3 or D, and sporadically in the others.
As _Maxxx_.8 said above, there are (potentially) a different number of alternates in each alternate - so if I communicate with Me.8 he could communicate with Me.8.3 (which should be me) but also Me.8.H - to which I have no direct access.
To date, I am uncertain if all of the Mes in other paralellisms are Aussies, but they do all rather like their beer, call people 'Mate' and have a tendency to add an 'O' or 'IE' to the ends of words (Milko, Straddie) so chances are good that that is the case.
Although they also dislike Vegemite1 - which also suggests they are not native to that land.
1 Me.B reports that Vegemite is now a prohibited substance under the latest government having introduced the PC rule - not because it is black, but because it may offend vegetarians.

You must be absolutely mad, _Maxxx_. Does the you in this universe seriously like Vegemite? I tried it once (15 years ago), and the damn taste is still in my mouth.

As an ex-pat Pommie who ruled to embrace Australian culture post emigration (none of this hanging around with other brits, going to the British clubs, celebrating Xmas when it's cold rather than on the lords birthday etc.) my one failing is my immense dislike for Vegemite. Fortunately one can purchase Marmite here.
I also rather prefer a nice English bitter to most of the Australian brew - but do my best to stick to Aussie beers.
Oh, and my saying "g'day mate" in, what others tell me, is a distinctly English accent is also a give away.

Kinda makes you wonder if multiple personality disorder is a manifestation of the multiverse. And really, I thought every quantum randomness resulted in a branching of the time line into all possibilities, so what's this about only a few multiverses? It does raise the question of whether the cardinality of the number of multiverses is a mere aleph null, or really big.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm guessing it's somewhere around 7.5. That last .5 doesn't make sense in this universe, but maybe it does in that one.
|
|
|

That's really big (and a half).

Since one of the weird hypotheses in physics is that our universe is actually a simulation, what happens if we simulate the universe? Are there recursive MUIDS? Would that break the internet or would people still be using Javascript?

And they've found a new way of punishing.
Someone has just downvoted every answer I've ever given in Q&A.
They must have been gutted there were only four of them.
That has entertained me nicely.
