I still despise Mozilla for changing the version numbering. It's so fucking stupid. 90% of the "major updates" are just minor shit while the minor updates are just tiny bug & security fixes. But I guess when you plan to not really move the browser forward, then you wouldn't have gotten any real major updates anyway.
Comment on Is it just a coincidence that Chromium and Firefox have similar version numbers?

One of the reasons why the 1/3rd pound burger lost to the 1/4 pound burger, was because people saw the 1/4, and thought that the quarter-pound was larger for some inexplicable reason.

that’s the reason why we got Xbox 360 instead of Xbox 2

My memory is hazy here, but I was under recollection that Microsoft opted not to call it the Xbox 2 because it coincided with the release of the PlayStation 3, and since three is more than two, obviously the PlayStation is better. If true, people are fucking stupid. I mean, people are fucking stupid regardless, but still.

It was going to be the 513, but we got an overflow error instead.

Yeah I never seemed to understand the naming scheme for Xbox consoles, because what came after the 360 is… the Xbox One. It’s technically the third one.
And then there’s Nintendo with all their silly home console names. It didn’t get consistent until the Wii and Wii U, and even then, that was thrown out the window immediately after. At least the handhelds were pretty consistent in their naming.
