The business world is complicated enough, without requiring managers (with a ton of other details to worry about) to know the intricacies of OS/OSS/CSS differences.
A good manager should be aware of the issues, if only at a "Readers' Digest" kind of level. They should also be aware that they don't know all the details, and solicit the input of those who do.
Just a reminder - that's good managers I'm talking about.
Good point. Another problem seems to be that companies won't take people on who have something close to what they're looking for. A competent unix sysadmin should be able to work on linux, but an HR drone looking for keywords is going to file his CV in the big round folder.
Why can't they just keep track of the upc codes and serial numbers of items that have had rebates issued, and deduct the rebate from the return value? It shouldn't be very difficult.
It would be even easier just to deduct the rebate value if the customer doesn't return the rebate check/voucher with the article.

Now that's dedication for you! I'm sure he got cold and I bet his butt is sore from sitting there so long. But did he give up? No! Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour? Hell no! Did Icarus give up when they told him a man couldn't fly... well anyway - I salute TigerNut as an example to us all.
Well, the best way to tackle something complicated is to break it down.
"Couple" literally means two, but in practice it can mean any smallish number.
An hour used to be 1/24th of a day, but a day is not just difficult to define, it's variable, so let's take a bottom up approach. An hour is 60 minutes, a minute is 60 seconds and a second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.
Thus a couple [of] hours is 33093474372000 n where n is an arbitrary smallish number.
Whereas a satellite photo would of only seen the very top of the buildings.
Huh? If a satellite was directly over the Eiffel Tower (hence seeing the top of it)[1] it would be looking at the side of Big Ben. You can tell where it is given the angle, or vice versa.
[1] kind of like the opposite of that photo taken from directluy underneath which tourists think is clever and original but isn't.
If you took care of the homeless people then you could enjoy the park!
This is total bollocks. The majority of homeless people are homeless by choice. They're piss-artists or drug addicts or just plain fucking assholes. Give them an apartment and they'll burn it down or shit all over it. Put them in a hostel and they'll assault other residents and/or the staff. The only home that would have them and keep them there would be a prison, in fact if not in name. And then yoghurt-knitting faggot gobshites like you (who have probably never seen, let alone smelled, a homeless "person") would be wittering about their "human rights".

Of course, a wise man knows the difference between "the" and "than".

It is. At some resolutions it looks like snowmen with ferns on, whereas at others it looks like ferns with snowmen on them.

Maybe the manager thought Linux was some kind of a game?
Fair point about the editors though. I might consider subscribing if they got rid of Michael Sims - I suspect I'm not alone in that.
