1. Your city is under siege and suddenly this man-made wooden horse appears out of nowhere. Any sane military command would probably blow it up or set fire to it, as opposed to taking it behind his lines and leaving it unguarded.
2. It's a bit much for foreign leader like Menelaus to go to the trouble of war over his wife leaving him for another man. Especially in an era where women were considered simple commodities.
3. Odysseus tries to escape from an island with a hot chick who does magic and wants to use him as a love slave back to an existence of responsibility and the possibility of mortal danger. Nuff said.
4. The cyclops has one eye. A monster with limited depth perception is not too intimidating and wouldn't be a very effective monster.
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are three separate programming language/syntaxes (JQuery syntactic sugar would add yet one more pseudo syntax). To design graphical applications with them for the Pre, I'd have to use a text editor. And if I read the article right, I would have to fiddle with the command line to do development.
The Cocoa API is essentially one programming language/syntax. And I can design graphical interfaces with a graphical application (Interface Builder). And I never have to touch the command line.
Interestingly enough, in Verner Vinge's sci-fi novel Rainbow's End, half of the high school curriculum is learning how to troll a very advanced virtual reality Internet for disparate pieces of information and assemble them into something meaningful. I guess art imitates life.
They did introduce a quick-release power connector, Magsafe, that pretty much solved the problem of laptops taking a tumble because someone tripped on a power cord. Good design that prevents accidents usually works better than detecting abuse.

So it's true. You really can do profound things limiting yourself to 140 characters.
When the economy gets so bad that we have to choose between spending to arrest and incarcerate rapists and murderers vs some guy lighting up a doobie at a concert, things might change.
HR Person (to Zed): "We see on your resume that one has paid you to do rails development in the last year and a half, and that you've been writing some "mongrel" thing in your spare time. We're really looking for someone with more relevant and recent Ruby-on-Rails experience."
If the Linux foundation is so concerned about the non-technical masses adopting Linux, perhaps they should being paying Bruce Tognazzini's salary instead of Linus Torvalds'.

Unless you live in Alaska or somewhere else where you'd have permafrost.
But if you can see Russia from your house, why would you ever want to waste your time overclocking? :)
The result of the trial will be a congressional bill severely limiting production of phlogiston.
It gets a lot worse. There's things called "mambots".
Mostly Humorless.

The extra street value of cocaine being added to the dollar should make it stronger against other currencies.
A good DBA never trusts Other People's Numbers to be unique or stay unique.
The first HTML browser was written in that esoteric language.

No contest.

And all this time I thought that the voice in my head telling me not to smoke was common sense.

Throw an exception if you don't reinitialize the toilet seat.

Better know as the "Let me win or else I'll pull your arms out of your sockets" defense.
If they were smart, they'd start with the guy who thought it was a good idea to allow browsers to run javascript outside the <HEAD> section.
Then they'd go after all the cowboy coders who'd be screaming "but it's soooo convenient".
If you'd patiently wait 5 billion more years, you'd know the answer.
But this is Sam Raimi. It could be so bad that it might actually be good. Especially if Bruce Campbell plays both protagonist and Lich King.

1 nude MMS of the 15 year-old chick who sits next to you in class is more than worth 140 characters of anal-retentive self-promoting status alerts.
This could be very bad for the tin foil hat industry.
