Who even cares how tall someone is? Make the 300+ set pay for another seat and you've solved the problem of having to burn extra fuel to cart them around. This counts double if you overflow an armrest.
So the muscle bound meathead steroid junkie will be caught out by this more then the morbidly obese.
Lots more 350 lb porkers flying than 230 lb jocks with 6 pack abs.
Besides that it's a terrible idea for other reasons, it doesnt take into account height, most tall fit people I know weigh more then short fat people, Male vs Female, old vs young. There are too many factors for this to be effectively sorted out so it isn't just an extra charge which will be abused by the airlines.
Really, they just need to be upfront about the policy - over 300 lbs = buy another seat.

Intelligence has a fairly specific definition, and it isnt' about connecting to other people. You can call people who don't care about social skills idiots, but that's a separate matter from intelligence.

Then, in the end, they're not that intelligent are they?
Yes, they are. Intelligence is but one part of what makes you successful; that's the whole point.
From watching the antics of the Republican party, RINOs are actually the only ones that try to be republican. The rest are loony religious people trying to push their brand of god on everyone.
The truth is, Apple is a marketing based company even more than Microsoft is. That's not an insult at all (I happen to think marketing and sales are as important as the tech itself).
The truth is, that's what steve jobs said when he, woz, and the other guy founded apple.
We did spend about 2 days on planning for a 2 week sprint - it was our first go at scrum and the whole thing was almost comical. Didn't help that our scrum master was a slow talker who didn't know how to be concise.
Then I throw out that number completely, and just multiply the time it took me to develop that script by five. This method has proven disturbingly accurate.
So you spend 16% of the project time developing estimates?
16% would be a merked improvement over our last project. We spent something like 30% in planning.
If you can get people to actually prioritize features, then you have a chance in hell of cutting features by plan. The common first response to such a request is to rate all features as pri 1, to which the formula response is "so you mean I can just implement in any order i like?". If business is at all reasonable, they can be brought around to at least grouping features into required, really want, nice to have, and maybe, but the first challenge there is talking to them at all. This isn't really something you should be talking to middle management about if you expect an answer in reasonable time.
why would the 1st override copyright? They're both at the same level of law. Also, leave kiddy porn out of this - the sCOTUs has ruled than CP is not protected speech, and for good reason.
Some laws are easier to change than others; for instance, if it's declared that lying about military service to get laid can't be made a crime due to the first amendment here, changing that law will be pretty much impossible. Passing a law making ISPs liable for the actions of their customers may be a lot simpler, but it may not be, depending on why they're currently unable to hold them accountable. Also, you get some nice unintended consequences most of the time - they really should ask themselves whether this is a law that needs to be written, but they never do.
well duh, innocent until proven guilty is there because of the penalties that the state is allowed to enforce. If You think person A is funny for kids, the worst you're allowed to do is not associate with them. You can't lock them up or fine them.
It's people like you that are undoing the 40 hour work week that was won only a century ago. Apparently, you think that a worker is on an even bargaining footing with a company and that exploiting a recession to screw employees is ok.
Because when we got unions that fight with management. Europe has unions that work with management and attempts to come to a mutual solution. Part of the difference seems to be that employment laws actually protect workers a bit more - you can't just boot someone out the door with no notice and no severance in most of EU, and there's a social safety net. Over here, we think it's patriotic to starve in the gutter and die of a preventable disease for lack of insurance or welfare. At least we aren't socialist, right?
The subject is your assertion that government regulation is always terrible. The fact is, capitalism is a toxic thing when taken to extremes, and regulation is often a good idea. In this case, any one employee would be fired on the spot if they complained about management and, in fact, it doesn't appear as though management will fix things on its own, what with this being a 30 year tradition.
The government has an interest in its citizens enjoying a decent standard of living, and that includes people seeing their children. The regulation I have in mind here is removing the exemption for computer guys from overtime. You don't like regulation, so you should be fine with this.

Wait, you said it doesn't make sense, then demonstrated that it did - are you confused or just overly clever?
One of the tea drinkers from my last job was ex-navy. I don't think I'll be taking his cup any time soon.

better yet, show only the superbowl ads. That's about half the value I get from a superbowl viewing.
come on, this is cali.
I suppose it would also fix some of the problems with healthcare and unemployment.
You know the knobs driving around your city right now with one hand on the wheel and a cellphone in the other? Imagine them in the air...
I was thinking more of their checkout by amazon service - it's apparently 2.9% + $0.30 for stuff over $10.
Hmm, what about amazon's checkout service? They seem a bit more trustworthy than paypal, but they'd have to be criminal to be less so.

And when, after a year or so, nobody believes the bosses anymore, you fire them all and get new ones, right?
