In our opinion, the number “seven” is undeservedly popular. He is considered lucky, they dream to buy a number of three sevens, or at least one. To the place and out of place quote the ancient Chinese, Arabs and Japanese, remember about the Jews. Like, a difficult number of seven, magical and magical.

The time has come to say a decisive "no" to all these insinuations. Responsibly declare that the number "seven" is outdated and a thing of the past. From now on, the number “eight” becomes the main thing. It is beautiful, round and modern. It is used in operating systems, politics, emoticons and to indicate infinity. The associative series is exceptionally pleasant and has its unique flair - the G8, the Eighth of March, the Eighth Grade, the Eighth Mile, in the end ...

Probably, you have already guessed that with this post we return our favorite and traditional contest “comment of the day” to the pages of Habr. And we dedicate it, of course, the number "eight". It, as you may have noticed, is also found in the name of the new HP ProLiant Gen8 server line.
