Anyone that believes spanking is inherently wrong, and yet supports having a police department is simply a hypocrite.
I believe that physical abuse by the police department should be used only as a last resort when all other routes have failed, or when violence is used against them.
When a city successfully runs with no law enforcement, I will consider reevaluating this stance.
Ancient Rome. The only thing approaching a police force was the military and very few active-duty milites stayed in Rome for long. Sparta is one of the only ancient cities I can remember even having a specific police and that was because its slaves outnumbered its citizens five to one or so.
I can understand spanking or bed without dinner, but forcing them to walk home seems a bit harsh to me depending on what roads will have to be crossed for your child to get there.
At my school(in Wake County, North Carolina, and I'm pretty sure every school in the county has this rule, probably even the whole state), cell phones are supposed to be off during the school day and every teacher that I have had will force you to turn off your cellphone if ey catches you with it(ringing, vibrating, or text messaging)--some of the teachers at my school will even destroy the phones though that's an extreme response.
Do you want to tell me that Lost and Heroes are less complex than I Love Lucy--rather, name me one TV show from the 50s to 70s that even approaches either of those shows in the depth of thought? Do you want to tell the guy who wrote this that? The belief that the world is declining in standards is a belief that has been stated by old codgers since the earliest Greek poets and probably even earlier. Yet, every time, it's wrong, and the new generation is superior to the old.
No, Newspeak was designed to make it difficult to impossible to express political opinions aside from "Ingsoc doubleplusgood". TXT MSG was designed as an ad-hoc compression scheme to make messages shorter and quicker to type. And frankly I'd prefer my kids focus on "meaningless dribble" than on the best way to build thousands of nuclear weapons and ruin the environment like we did in the seventies.
Take away his phonetic alphabet too while you're at it, make him use cuneiform or heiroglyphics.
Although your Sudoku example is a bad one because Sudoku didn't exist ten years ago. Say Gomoku or something.
think back to frosh economics, and try to explain why the supposedly "easier" job makes more money. Because the CEO sets his own salary?
Also, go talk to Paul Graham. He knows more than you do, given the fact that when he was running a startup he was juggling the jobs of CEO, programmer, system administrator, sales, and just about everything else a big business shuttles off to seperate departments. He defines the PHB as a manager who doesn't program.
Also, way too often, the CEO often doesn't know anything about programming, Ballmer just to name one, and in those cases, disaster results. A computer company CEO that doesn't know how to program is like an engineer who doesn't know the laws of physics or how his building materials work. This would never even be considered for an engineer but is almost par for the course for a bad computer company.
Also, ambiguity isn't the end-all-be-all for difficulty. Actually, your primary job should be to know enough to remove that ambiguity. The only way you can have near-complete ambiguity is if you're given no input at all. And if you're a CEO with no input at all, there is a communications problem on your side which needs to be fixed.
Bad companies with bad CEOs exist. Don't do business with them. If you feel that you have no choice but to do business with them, go to court and sue them for being a monopoly. What if all the companies in a certain field are bad companies with bad CEOs? And what if they just got out of a monopoly filing and as such by local law you can't sue them again? And what about companies like the music companies that essentially own a bunch of little monopolies(musical groups are not interchangeable)? So on, so on, so on.
The "Tux" thing is ridiculously stupid(and everyone but the article submitter agrees to that) but that pink duck is on every single page on the website. A logo is
a graphic representation or symbol of a company name, trademark, abbreviation, etc., often uniquely designed for ready recognition. It appears to me to be a graphic representation or symbol of the company, and also uniquely designed for ready recognition, which makes it a logo for Popfly.
Well, actually from what I've heard there's very little competition for resources in Google and most of the cool startup-like stuff happens during the 20% time.
God used to be my co-pilot. Unfortunatly we crashed into a mountain and I had to eat him. Unfortunately, you only had crackers to go with that wine, and no cheese.
Fiscally conservative. Socially liberal. Against revisionist history. The term "fiscally conservative" is revisionist history. The Republicans have never supported smaller government(which is what most people mean when they say fiscal conservatism), excepting maybe Coolidge. Conservatives don't support small government, they support replacing the gov't programs that help people with gov't programs that hurt people.

This is the exact reason why Fox's attempt to create a humorous show fell flat on its back...
My father was an oaf, you insensitive Republican!
What do you wanna do? Stick your head in the sand and pretend the world is perfect?
The fact that you are not using the metaphor right implies that you are using a dying metaphor. Please stop.
Well, that would explain the Cold War.

Almost all phone carriers have restrictive limits on the length of text messages.
They didn't release Chess 2 because Chess is Chaturanga 2.

No, voting Democrat is just a side-effect of actually knowing things.
If it's not the logo, why is it on top of every page on the popfly website?
The smalltalk browser runs rings around just about anything.

But he has a katana. Microsoft employees tend to be lacking in the katana department...
Hillary is unelectable--not even the Clinton name can save her now that she's shown herself as so powerhungry. Obama for president!
Well, aside from the whole "valid evidence in the prosecution of a crime" thing, you'll be 100% allowed to post those things online!
