@passthejoe I remember 10 years ago being told we don't need 25Mbps. Anyone who writes this stuff is wrong from the moment they type that first letter

Didn't Bill Gates once say that we won't need more than 640KB of memory :)
@esparta @zleap @passthejoe yeh, there's a lot of apocryphal lines like that in computing. There's enough real examples of bad predictions without the need for this stuff, and, as you said, Gates has done enough bad stuff without the need to make up anything
@zleap @sortius @passthejoe common misconception, a thing at some point we wanted to believe, but no, Bill Gates never said "640K of memory should be enough for anybody.", nor their variations:

Gates has said and done very bad things but that one by is not one of those.
