Why We Can’t All Just Settle On One Stupid Standard

Standards, formats, protocols. There are thousands of them! Probably! I’ve never counted, I’ve always been too buys slamming my head against a wall. But you know what? Even the road to gadget compatibility hell is paved with good intentions. Right before it’s repaved with terrible, pigheaded greed. [xkcd]

    This didn’t need to be reposted. The article brings up nothing of value that the comic didn’t, and the majority of users here have most likely read it already.

      This comment didn’t need to be posted, it brings up nothing new that readers have not already read before. Most readers here have probably already read your text before.

    Hadn’t seen this before either, so thanks Giz ;-)
    Not a regular reader of comic strips for gadget related info.
