Talk:Grosch's law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alas, I can't give a citation, but I recall reading a third formulation of Grosch's Law: "no matter how fast the hardware gets, the software boys piss it away." My admittedly fuzzy memory is that the formulation is from Grosch himself, but again, I don't have a reference to cite. Does anyone else recall this version? --209.234.74.28 16:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nomen = omen

In our country Grosch was a silver coin (see Prague groschen). So. By accident there is a funny relation. For this guy made a statement about prizes;) I just wonder, could it be mentioned here ??? It is as if "coins finally said something usefull" ;) And grosch is also flickered horse name. Cc..aa..ll 03:42, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I added it. But i do not know how better to call the section. Section should be there for it is something from different keg. Cc..aa..ll 05:19, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I moved what you added to here (below in the blockquote) because I can't really understand what it is saying, but I do think it merits mention in the article. If you want to make this more clear and grammatical, then go ahead and put that version in. Also, make sure you don't sign what you add (that's only for this discussion area) :).

Grosch also stands for small silver coins. Which were used in middle ages. This thing relates to Herb Grosh's statement which also mentions prize (economy). This might remind about nomen est omen saying, which in given context seem to be humorous.

Although memoization is used mainly in informatics. Meaing remains. Trying to remember one fact reminds of another, similar one.
