Depends what you mean by "oldest". If you mean longest since last update.... I dunno, I don't use much old stuff in that regard, probably a game. Oldest as in first written, probably the Linux kernel or BASH, whichever came first (I think BASH came after the kernel, it was SH before that?).

is that considered "old" now 🙁?

EDIT: holy shit, that came out in 2004!, it seems like just yesterday HL2 was an april fools joke on planethalfe.com and now its been released and considered old. Now you are making ME feel old :frown: I guess that being the case, why the fuck isn't HL3 out yet?

Well, if they need 3 years at a time to make an Episode, how long do you think they need for a whole game?
