more, more, more!

I've heard that in the military there's a saying: "Take more than your share of objectives, and you'll be given more than your share of objectives to take."

TWA?

This seems like one of those British acronyms not used much on my side of the pond. Googling it only brought up stuff about Trans-World Airlines (and no, that didn't mean what most people would think nowadays).

Wild guesses: Time Without Accident? Total Workplace Accidents? Tally (of) Workplace Accidents?

People are so stupid... (How stupid are they?)

Fix a picture in your mind of just how gobsmackingly stupid the average person is. Got that? Now realize that, almost by definition of average(*), about half of all people are even stupider than that!

(*) Yes, for the math geeks, that would be the "median" person, not the "average" person. See Figure 1.

Leopard on a PC?

Wednesday 31st October 2007 14:36 GMT Dave Aronson

yes, expensive

Kenny, not everybody wants top of the line HW. Putting OSX on a PC would allow people to put it on a *cheap* PC. If they decide later that they want a faster CPU, better graphics, whatever, then they can go buy a Mac... or a fancier PC. Whatever. It's their choice, which seems to be the point of the exercise.
