Eich's Law

Found this gem in a C++ comment while digging in the SpiderMonkey codebase:
After much testing, it's clear that Postel's advice to protocol designers ("be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send") invites a natural-law repercussion for JS as "protocol":

"If you are liberal in what you accept, others will utterly fail to be conservative in what they send."
The comment is unsigned, but it sounds like Brendan.

A duke supplement essay example will be useful for you if you wish to become one of its students, but also you may read this example and according to it write a supplement essay to another University. Also, you may order this essay and never write it on your own.

If you're struggling with your assignments, you may want to consider pay to do assignments to take some of the burden off your shoulders.
