"So there you have it. If you want to achieve 50 years of almost continuous growth, you now know what you have to do: abolish management and get rid of all the employees." - Paul Buchheit

cause and effect are not what they seem, in one sense there have never been managers and employers, they have all been sailing to the same wind, not caused by any of them - Gregory Lent
What's interesting is that they were sustainably this way for 50 years. My theory is that this can only happen if you grow slowly (i.e., not at VC-funded rates) - Piaw Na

got one report that says the best thing about the new bond movie was the star trek trailer... - felix
That's not untrue; but it's really a testament to how fantastic the Star Trek trailer was. It would have been the best thing on a lot of movies. (The Bond movie is actually pretty good) - James Williams (willia4)
Wow that looked great - or was it just the tension building music? - Robin Barooah
"SANTA ANA, Calif. – There were no burgers, car washes or lattes at this Orange County drive-through — just democracy.
Eager voters pulled their vehicles into the county registrar's parking lot on Monday to either register or cast ballots at an electronic drive-through poll station.
The one-day-only offer came on the last day of voter registration for Californians. Only Orange County was offering the drive-through electronic voting service." - Jonathan Le Plastrier

If they put them in In And Out drive-throughs, voter turnout in CA would triple. Oh Orange County, you never cease to impress me with your lazy ways. Via "The Bugle". - Jonathan Le Plastrier
unfortunately tricky for languages like scala where adding files to a directory will change the build results, since it doesn't (according to the documentation) consider the directory nodes, but only the files. - Robin Barooah
"Pub-goers in Aberdeen are facing a drugs test before entering bars as part of a crackdown by Grampian Police.
Officers in the force will be the first in Scotland to use an Itemiser - a device which can detect traces of drugs from hand swabs in a matter of seconds." - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

I don't think this could fly in the US. My sister has worked at a bank for years and I remember her saying something about most $100 bills having traces of cocaine on them... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Yeah, there's no way this would ever fly here. In fact, it's rather insulting. I want to see one so I can fucking break it. - Jack Lhasa
N.S: "My wife Carla is a popular singer, and a former hot top model, and she so hot in bed (...)" S.P: "Oh my Godness, I didn't know that!" - Jérôme Flipo
If one voice can change the world for Obama, one Viagra can change the world for McCain! - Andrew Trinh
I'm not sure if he said "From my ass I can see Belgium" or "From my house I can see Belgium". - Jess Lee
I agree Chris. I don't think it was that funny. Sal or Richard from the Stern show could have done a better job. - PC Easy

I still can't believe this is real. I mean, she must have figured it out... she can't be that stupid... can she? - Tudor Bosman
It's definitely real, her camp issued a statement in response today. "Governor Palin received a phone call on Saturday from a French Canadian talk show host claiming to be French President Nicholas Sarkozy. Governor Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy, and other celebrities in being targeted by these pranksters. C'est la vie." - Vincent X
It was just taken down from youtube. I wonder what the reasoning for that was. - Robin Barooah
"Special American advisor - Johnny Hallyday". ROFL - Paul Grav
Boy would I like to hear these audio tapes. I bet they're a hoot: "Starting with persistent phone calls to Alaska, [Marc-Antoine] Audette said it took the duo -- which also includes Sebastien Trudel -- about four days of phone calls to Palin's handlers to finally get in touch with her." http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/Arti... - Robert Stevens
Ahhh those stupid guys (Justiers Masqués) pranked also alot of other people. I'm from Montreal, and I listen to them once in a while. This prank is very well timed. It's a good one for them! :-) - Éric Senterre
I just can't imagine how this woman got this close to the White House. It's about the most scary thing I've ever seen in my life! - ScottBourne
There were a couple of funny moments in there as well, where they mixed languages in a slightly tricky way. When talking about hunting, they said something like "we could tue some baby phoques" (kill some baby seals). Then later he says that his wife Carla wrote a song for her called [something I couldn't quite follow about "rouge a lèvres sur un cochon" (lipstick on a pig)], which he then translates as [something about Joe the plumber]. - Joel Webber
And the bit about her "edgy" documentary "Nailin' Pailin"? Classic! - Joel Webber
I am so glad I'm not a public figure. I do see what they mean about her cutesy-pootsyness. It's adora-borable, yes it is! The sad thing is I wouldn't have done nearly as well in that conversation. - MiɳiMagɘ (AlwaysMiniMage)
