I always heard "You can have it fast, good, or cheap, pick two"
And yet, while well known, it is a gross oversimplification. For instance, "fast, good, but expensive" is also known as the task of making a "baby in a month by 9 women"
That is because people are by and large, completely retarded.
While there is grain of truth in that
;-) there are other ways to look at the newspaper quote, for example Opinion Polls: Getting the results you want ;-)
If only GM would sell a decent Opel here.
Rejoice!
I enjoy some nice, well deserved and for now completely free silence
Sir, you, maybe without realizing it, are performing, non stop, the 4'33".
because it's not like we don't have any siblings with kids or friends with kids or were kids ourselves
A car analogy
PS: Another interesting (and IMHO vivid) analogy would be sex
I caught a 9AM showing on Saturday. Surprisingly few single guys there. Mostly middle-aged couples.
Just a guess - everybody else is either still in bed or just woke up
in fact, it would make people stop using their heads
Certainly, because patents and profit are the only factors that would motivate a person...
Without a patent, everyone would just use the 1st method and nobody would want to improve upon it.
Note how badly we, the humanity, had to struggle before July 31, 1790 - same stone wheels, same obsidian tools, same clay tablets (or were they invented and patented later?), etc...
Caffeine is a well-known stimulant added as an ingredient to various carbonated soft drinks, but which drink contains the most, and how can consumers know? A study in the Journal of Food Science used high-performance liquid chromatography to analyze the caffeine contents of 56 national-brand and 75 private-label store brand carbonated beverages. Caffeine contents ranged from 4.9 mg/12 oz (IGA Cola) to 74 mg/12 oz (Vault Zero). Some of the more common national-brand carbonated beverages analyzed in this study were Coca-Cola (33.9 mg/12 oz), Diet Coke (46.3 mg/12 oz), Pepsi (38.9 mg/12 oz), Diet Pepsi (36.7 mg/12 oz), Dr Pepper (42.6 mg/12 oz), Diet Dr Pepper (44.1 mg/12 oz), Mountain Dew (54.8 mg/12 oz), and Diet Mountain Dew (55.2 mg/12 oz). The authors found that store-brand beverages generally contained less caffeine, and they also suggest that consumers would benefit from having the actual caffeine content labeled on the beverage.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
