Once I was driving from Vegas up to Denver through Southern Utah. I saw a sign that said "last gas for 100 miles". I figured they were exaggerating a bit, plus my car was telling me that it had enough gas left for 120 miles, so I blew past it. I started to get really nervous when my low fuel warning came on before I saw the next gas station...
They have shown themselves to be willing to remove things from the app store in the past for a wide variety of reasons. If Apple won't remove this app for being clearly ripped off someone else in the app store they're sending a pretty clear message that all the restrictions on you when you publish in the app store are purely for their benefit, and they don't want to help the developers.
It's just like any other skill. You have to learn it. Yes, childhood experiences can make it a lot easier, but you usually don't have a lot of control over that, and not everyone was brought up in a traditional family. Just like a jock could pick up a book and work hard to become a programmer, so can a geek pick up a book and work hard to become popular. It's never too late to learn something new.
For some reason Australia seems to have a problem with this. The clearest example of this is the biker gangs (one of the groups causing trouble at the night spots). Despite the fact that it is already illegal to be a member of an outlaw gang, and despite the fact that they freely ride around wearing the jackets proclaiming that they are members of said gangs, the police claim that they are powerless to stop them.
Alright, imagine you're driving along, except not on a road, but some kind of rubber band. If you drive a mile along the road, and then go back and stretch the rubber band out to 2 miles, how far have you actually driven?
I once played a game that was called "Bus Driver" (or something like that) where you had to drive a bus. You lost points for getting into accidents, running red lights, accelerating/braking too hard, etc. It was kinda interesting. I'm pretty sure it didn't sell too many copies.
I used to know a guy who owned a restaurant. One day the nice people at Coca-Cola refused to deliver drinks to him. To fill the gap he went to the local supermarket, and found that they were cheaper there than direct from the manufacturer.
If I can get stuff from overseas for that cheap, why can't they get the same stuff from the same place for the same price, save money on shipping by doing it in bulk and then sell them in Australia for less that I could get it from overseas. (Or at least close enough that I won't bother looking to the overseas retailers.)
Even Gerry Harvey (one of the big Australian retailers) used the argument that his wife bought a dress online for $100, that would have cost her $170 in Australia.
I was involved in a little tussle between those two personalities in the lead up to Christmas. We needed results fast and with no budget, but then the quick-fixer went on vacation for Christmas and the Perfectionist took over. Now we're a month behind:(
If they're not helping you, stop helping them. Continue to do your job, stop doing other people's work, and start looking for a job with another company.
I'm pretty sure that he was listed as the writer for only one episode, but that he was involved with the editing staff for some time during the Tom Baker years.
I work for a firm that has both Architects and Structural Engineers. (I'm neither.) Often, the architecture department will submit a bid to build some awesome new building, while the structural engineer department quietly hopes that we lose that bid, due to the fact that no-one has any idea how to make the damn thing stand up!
Either I regularly search for things that nobody scrapes, or there's actually some skill involved in making a search engine that gives relevant results that most people don't have to be bothered with.
A lot of people don't like the idea of ISP serving content at all due to the conflict of interest that leads to net neutrality issues. While this particular case is a mild example of it, once we start allowing this kind of thing, it's a slippery slope to all kinds of problems.

Actually I guy I work with has back problems. He was explaining the treatment he was getting, and it's basically the rack.

When two of those groups are women and single mothers, adding them together doesn't make that much sense.
I think it would be funny if all the other minority groups they included counted the whole population (men and women) as well.
It's pretty funny though...
The machines are under the control of the casino. Any bugs in them are the casino's responsibility.

The GST is only 10%, not 70%.
So the US dollar completely stops being stable, the rest of the world forgets that the US still exists, and China becomes the world's new superpower.
Well played.

I believe that the original Star Wars trilogy provides a good moral framework.

A mixed metaphor is if you mix your metaphors within the same sentence or metaphor construction.

Completely different sentences with obviously separate metaphors -- especially when they're quotes from different people -- is just called writing.
Possibly called bad writing.

That's a whole other issue you've got there. Let's not get started on how complex the tax code is, we could go on for days.
