Yet again proving the rule that any post correcting spelling will itself contain a spelling error. At least the Hamming distance on my version was shorter:)
And the word which you added "lence" to is also spelled "survey", which is the word for those annoying things people ask you to do when you're trying to eat dinner. HTH
Barbarossa, Sea Lion, The Rommel and maybe Mussolini for the Beta release?
(I didn't realise Finland was an Axis power; I thought it's fame in The War was due to being the only country simultaneously at war with both Ivan and Gerry.)
Still completely relevant to this day. And this episode
is indeed appropriate for this situation, which concerned the appointment of the Governor of the Bank of England and how Sir Humphrey utilises basic back stabbing techniques (ie first get behind them) to ensure that "Mr Clean" doesn't get appointed.
And while we're throwing quotes: Dorothy Wainwright: [Referring to Desmond Glazebrook] He never has an opinion on anything; he always agrees with whomever he's speaking, so naturally, people think he's sound.
I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied dead....Except for mmell who paid for this shiny new valve, and in return has been allocated an additional martini per week.
I doubt the OP was advocating a free for all. There's
regulation of the sort that says "you're not free to poison our waterways" and then there's regulation which says "this is the price you must charge for your
flight". When deregulation was applied, it was the latter sort of regulations which were disbanded.
The reason why regulating the economy leads to
oppression is because people naturally seek to get around the regulations. For evidence we can look at black markets in the Iron Curtain or at the airline industry in the US.
So you add more regulations to cover the instances
you didn't think of first hand. If the process continues unhinded, you end up with Soviet style oppression. Which is what the OP is warning about.
Ok, I've seen the first two examples repeated a few times, as if it is self evident that these are good things. But take the first example:
Assume that the workers were roused at midnight. 96 hours later, the rate of phone production is 10k/day. Presumably the foreman could have waited 8 hours, and started the shift at 8am. Production then reaches the 10k/day mark, a mere 104 hours later.
It sounds like a great anecdote, but I'm not convinced this sort of flexibility is a necessary condition for industrial wealth. A Chinese person already has all the incentive they need to work hard. I hardly think there'd be a massive decline in productivity if the Chinese factories and their customers decided not to apply 18th Century work practices.
//* Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York! And all the clouds that lowr'd upon our house, in the deep bosum of the ocean, buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths. Our bruise'd arms, hung up for monuments. Our stern alarums, changed to merry meetings. Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. And now, instead of mounting barbed, is this enough yet?
It makes more sense when you realise that Australia is the 51+Nst state of the US, so the headline is actually just listing the states of the US, not implying cartographical closeness.
Ok, I gots to know:
Why is $_[n] for getting the values of arguments
error prone?
Less importantly, why is &foo bad perl code?
In this thread, I've seen these ideas presented as
self evident, but this is the first time I've encountered them.

I'd say that South East Asia actually was overrun, given the fall of Singapore and the subsequent attack on Darwin.
So to say that only Europe was in danger of being overrun by the Axis is understating things a little.

Maybe they should have supplied Meyerbeer.

Yeah, not a whole lot to be proud of. I see what you mean. /s
All others we polygraph.
We've only known about issues with computer security for like 20 years now
Perhaps the time has come to treat the issue more seriously.
And let's also add a C# backend for power users to create their own commands. We could call it the C-Word "macro" feature.
Roald Dahl wasn't above pun-ishing his readers on occasion.
I believe the quote is "If people built houses they way they built software, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilisation"
She said she wanted information on good rock climbing places.
Awesome!
