]]> Comment on A professional thanks and a personal goodbye to Steve Jobs by EuroMil http://blog.oddhead.com/2011/10/13/goodbye-steve-jobs/#comment-40516 EuroMil Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:07:53 +0000 http://blog.oddhead.com/?p=2355#comment-40516 I think you need to give credit to the people that developed BASIC and all the underlying technologies in the first place. Steve was a great entrepeneur but those always seem to ride on the hard working engineers behind the products. Give a shoutout to http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Ritchie who died in the same month as Jobs. He deserves it more than Jobs.

Selling a pending betting slip is only a one sided risk and therefore does not qualify as gambling. Thx for your support.

If the slip loses SJ gives back the money, if it wins they pay the buyer with the sellers money and assume the seller redeemed the slip himself.
