    On Twitter, is it 'he or she' or 'they' or 'ip'?

    Actually I guess I'm not agreeing. I'm just saying. When birds fly in the correct formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.

    On Twitter, is it 'he or she' or 'they' or 'ip'?

    Yes, many of them seem to switch every single paragraph. I feel sorry for the editors who have to go through and make sure the gender references are consistent within each of those paragraphs and that the entire book shows a proper balance. I end up focusing on the "He" and "She" rather than...

    Using DB Connection without access

    I have an access 2003 program that connects to an SQL database. We have both a development server (for me) with a database, and a production server (to which I do not have access) for the users. The database layouts and stored procs mirror each other, but the data inside the tables is...

    All But

    if it's everything except impossible, then wouldn't that mean it was a given, almost a given, possible, or almost impossible? You don't know where in that spectrum it's going to land if it's anything except impossible. When birds fly in the correct formation, they need only exert half the...

    "I wish I knew" or "I wished I knew"

    My truck is that aforementioned color of dark blue mixed with red. It's a very manly color, I assure you. What colors are more manly than blue and red? Mixing those two together is just as manly as either of those colors, right? That being said, this colorblind man will make sure to never...

    "I wish I knew" or "I wished I knew"

    Nah, would like to go to a more masculine color if possible. Purple maybe? [tongue] When birds fly in the correct formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.

    (In)Appropriate Product Names

    Not a product name, but Qwest, a western US phone company, also had to change their slogan. They were using: "That's our spirit of service, in action." But when they said it, it always sounded like, "That's our spirit of service - inaction." After a few months, they dropped the last two...

    Funny online advertisement headings

    Shakespeare on the Superbowl

    Listened to Shakespeare's latest this morning. If you can, listen to it rather than just reading it. My laughing turned me into a serious driving hazard this morning, but hopefully other drivers just blamed it on the new snow and didn't call me in...

    'Translating' a book from English to American?

    If I'm reading the Bible or Shakespeare, I'm not looking for light reading. But for children's books or fiction, I want something I can come home and read after a day of programming without really needing to stretch my mind. Sometimes, I just like fluff, and fluff that requires a dictionary...

    'Translating' a book from English to American?

    I think they should be translated. When you're reading a fiction, you don't want to sit there with a dictionary. For example, even after Harry Potter was translated, I got frustrated with the use of the word "row." They paddled a boat? They obtained three ducks in a straight line? After...

    I sense tons of late-night-comedian material coming from Obama

    Did he mention what the new time would be? Some things are hard to wait around for. Does Obama have a plan for this one, or is he just trying to change our intimate lives without proposing a new plan? My vote hinges on this one. When birds fly in the correct formation, they need only exert...
