This should be standard for quite a few things. Call it the 'eat your own dogfood' provision.

Easier to just slap on term limits, though. Members of Congress (or Parliament or any other elected representative) are supposed to be representatives, not an aristocratic subclass.

There seems to be a lot of confusion over the intent of the second one. Some people think nobody should have graven images, some people only a well-regulated militia is allowed to have them, and some people get caught up in trying to figure out how to weaponize engravings in Dwarf Fortress.

Roughly the same sure, but longer nonetheless, and certainly not shorter as the post I replied to said.

Thank you Mozilla!

Let me stop you right there. Pretty sure Mars has longer days, and I could always use a little more sleep.

But the whole point of the project was to use cheaper, more off-the-shelf parts and components. Given that it's now ten years past it's 'guaranteed' lifespan, I don't think they did anything wrong.

Did FRAM even exist ten years ago?

The problem with the constitution was that it was largely a theoretical document. The Framers didn't have a lot of real-world examples to draw upon.

For example, the idea that all voting members would vote individually on each issue, and that nobody would ever form voting blocs or parties.

Or the idea that the loser in the presidential election should be VP.

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

I suspect you meant that a jest, but she was actually fairly vile. One opinion: http://www.stuff.co.nz/aucklan...

How do you deal with, say, NTP update fixing your clock drift?

Personally, I like the idea of a 'second' being of variable length far better than shoehorning a '60' into a field that's clearly defined as '0 to 59'.
