Do we want to have a "theme" this year?-mouser (September 12, 2013, 09:14 AM)
Do like my husband, and wear a Red Sox hat with a Yankee jersey.-app103 (September 11, 2013, 03:14 PM)
Oh, that's awesome, even if as light social trolling!
I have the Yankees cap already (aka backwards), so I have to go look for a cheapo $7 Red Sox tshirt! And then I have to pay a little care that it's best on days when both teams are playing.-TaoPhoenix (September 11, 2013, 07:02 PM)
To the optimist, the glass is half-full. To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.-kyrathaba (September 11, 2013, 09:23 AM)
Oh dear ... The punch line is actually quite close to the answer I typically give - like during job interviews - for that exact question (Which is: the glass is to big for the task at hand, and leave me out of your silly :)ing exorcise).-Stoic Joker (September 11, 2013, 11:10 AM)
While I have been insisting since childhood, in all seriousness, that the glass is completely full.-app103 (September 11, 2013, 03:11 PM)
Which asserts that the serving size is correct, and that the seemingly extra rim space is simply a requirement of/for safe yet rapid transport.
Hm... I like it!-Stoic Joker (September 11, 2013, 03:59 PM)

What's a guy who moved from Boston to New York to do when a Yankees Sox game comes on?!!-TaoPhoenix (September 11, 2013, 11:44 AM)

). I just figured I'd chime in with a use case for you to consider, that could pop up quite frequently among sc users.Just now tried it.
Very nice!
I can see why app wanted it revived.

It makes it hard to take the so-called college level course seriously when the writing is not up to par with even Junior High school standards.-Deozaan (September 04, 2013, 05:20 PM)
New Zealand has finally passed a new Patents Bill that will effectively outlaw software patents after five years of debate, delay and intense lobbying from multinational software vendors.
Aptly-named Commerce Minister Craig Foss welcomed the modernisation of patents law, saying it marked a "significant step towards driving innovation in New Zealand".
"By clarifying the definition of what can be patented, we are giving New Zealand businesses more flexibility to adapt and improve existing inventions, while continuing to protect genuine innovations," Foss said.
What we need is a crispy case where someone uses a CC-BY song, maybe in a movie, it goes viral, and then the owner gets grouchy and tries to wiggle out of it. CC-BY is essentially about exposure, an implicit "piggy back on your marketing" tradeoff. So in the rare case someone hits it out of the solar system, that "exposure only" will have to do, with no $, too bad you didn't bet better on yourself.-TaoPhoenix (August 26, 2013, 10:05 AM)

Some interesting things on the topic there, though from a different perspective.-Renegade (August 25, 2013, 09:09 PM)
(Another special case of contracts have an exchange of value is not discussed here, as they don’t concern brief and efficient interactions on a free marketplace, but significantly more complex, long-term relationships.)
