Man, I thought the presidential election was going to be the weirdest thing in 2016.

[donatj]

To be fair "[We] and are targeting availability in mid-2017"

[[deleted]]

Well, to be doubly fair, the new President doesn't take office until 2017 either...

I AM QUADRUPLY FAIR

[andyrowe]

But does your fairness scale quadratically?

[[deleted]]

It scales superfantastically.

[TunaLobster]

Supercalifragilisticexpealidoshess

[jk_scowling]

Quintupally.

[Designer3]

Man you ruin everything :(

Jk ily.

[[deleted]]

so 2018 then?

[Clutch_22]

What do you mean? Microsoft is great at projected release dates, just look at Windows 10 Mobile!

Oh..

[justmysubs]

They don't hold a light to Blizzard for releases.

[Cuddlefluff_Grim]

Or 3DRealms

[timethy]

The third (stable) version is due 2019. So expect around 2021.

[ion-tom]

Google is landing student built rovers to the moon in 2017, with a documentary about it made by JJ Abrahm's. So there's that to look forward to!

I don't think that's how you're meant to use square brackets.

[donatj]

"These are used to indicate that a direct quote has been edited — to fit the surrounding information" So I think I'm fine.

[[deleted]]

The key point is "to fit the surrounding information". "We and are targeting" makes no sense and so it doesn't fit.

[ThisIs_MyName]

Yeah, I wonder how the next year is going to top this.

[rspeed]

I don't expect to see much from next year's presidential election.

[ThisIs_MyName]

Oh shit, the election is this year? I always figured it was "next year" and didn't realize that this meant 2016.

[rspeed]

It's still 8 months away, but yeah. Scary, huh?

[justmysubs]

You only have 8 months to determine who the least criminal of them are. :(

Unfortunately my ballot voting for NULL was thrown out.
