Circular cause and consequence is funny. Let me add to this list:
- jpg
- png
- tiff
- PostScript
- TeX (tpic)
- HTML
- Mahjongg, sokoban, sudoku, tetris (games/4s)
- SPARC, MIPS, x64
- MP3, PCM, OGG (PAC was made at Bell Labs)
- SoundBlaster 16
Let me put it this way:
GNU software is good, except for GNU development tools, which,
except for the gcc program itself, are mediocre and break
compatibility (try using a Bell Labs makefile with GNU make).
