Well, spend the time away from the desk for thinking about the problem? I find I need that for coding sometimes, where going for a walk and arranging the various pieces in my head is actually more productive than staring at the code for another 30 minutes. You gotta give inspiration a chance to occur! I don't mean distraction, doing something else that you have to concentrate on - but stepping back and taking in the bigger picture. And fresh air and some movement really does help the brain get going, too.

Of course, liking what you do, and taking pride in doing it well, is kind of a must. But where that is the case, I think a "long leash" actually improves productivity. And where it is not the case, even fixing people to their desks with super glue will not make them work harder... remember the "boss key"? :D

That must be manly-speak for "I need a hug".

I know, all the alpha-females are already taken by people who need to talk shit about homeless and Chinese people to feel better about themselves. They like their sex angry and bitter, with an aftertaste of frustration and pettyness, and I for one cannot blame them.

"Fuckin' A!"

That is a mighty fine consolation price for being unable to think, I am impressed. Since that is what you're stuck with, you should probably make the best of it, and beat people up whenever you get the chance.

Regards from China!

How is that going to stop the various servious that upload what you record driectly off the phone?

Funny, you sound kinda ungrateful, lazy and full of shit yourself..

In this case this is *after* the estate was settled, but it was settled wrongly. You can't just have the executor of the estate neglect to consider outstanding debts and act as though nothing happened.

The heirs are responsible for debts that weren't properly dealt with.

And perhaps a better question might be why a country with 5 million people trying to revolt against their legal government should, 240 years later, dictate how a country of ~315 million spanning a great deal more territory and with a great deal more international recognition should be behaving.

The constitution was never intended to be immutable at the best of times, and one can reasonably see how technology and the strategic situation of the US have changed over the years. What might have been reasonably self evident to people looking at the world in 1776 doesn't mean it makes sense today.

You. I like you.

Who asked for sympathy? They just said they're glad these sadists are dead, and didn't even mention getting paddled themselves. So wtf to both of you.

They were culpable victims of their own stupidity, on multiple levels.

Oh, and the people getting off on beating kids are just some kind of force or nature, or what? Stockholm Syndrome much?

"We still need to find a cure for cancer."

"ORLY?! Amazing news there, buddy! Let me get right on getting pumped!"

"Oh, sarcasm! Just when I thought I knew you, you come up with something utterly new, out of nowhere. Too bad you have better things to do than curing cancer, I'm sure you would be awesome at it. :)"

While that bit about sorting your books was a rhetorical question, trying to answer it in earnest might help you get up to speed. I'm not really concerned otherwise -- address my point once you understood it, but all this "but you haven't made a point!!1" stuff is a game you'll have to play by yourself, sorry.

It was not his choice to get stuck there, the US govt pretty much made sure. You know, even getting the Swiss to force down the plane of a president and search it, because he might be on board... really, your comment is unintentionally ironic: the invasion already happened -- that is, your external enemies ain't shit compared to the internal ones you bred yourself -- and it's YOU who is bending over and cheering.

Awww. That's a lot of posturing for not answering a very simple question.
