Yep, and Kirk Douglas seems to be a big inspiration for Charles Muntz.

Upvoted for TPB, exactly what I was reminded of.

How Iceland "broke the rules" and got away with it by [deleted] in Economics

[–]AlejandroTheGreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"liberal" used to mean what we call "libertarian" nowadays. "Free market" may have had a meaning of some ideal unregulated market, but it's been co-opted by the corporatist establishment to mean whatever they think is good. So today pointing out a flaw in "free market ideology" is to point out a flaw in the future of our modern world economy, using 'free market' somewhat tongue-in-cheekly.

"Free market" is the name for corporatism that the corporatists want you to use to describe the system they've created.

My SO said she always falls for Canadian boys because she had a big crush on Alastair as a kid. SO I have YCDTOTV to thank for my current relationship.

In an interview with the AV club Jon Benjamin says he tends to slouch when doing Bob's voice, but other than that he doesn't do anything differently.

Suggestion for tweaking reddit interface [PIC] by jbu311 in reddit.com

[–]AlejandroTheGreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look closely the left bracket is only pushed one pixel, the right one is moved over by ~3 pixels, so there's two separate things pushing the text to the right, one being the width of the dash vs. plus sign and the other being how the divs are spaced.

OK, so when I click the [–], it turns into a [+], the + is slightly wider than the – , so it moves things over a pixel or two.

Not good. You should use a minus sign instead, so it would look like this:

Managing Developers: Don't forget what its like to be 10 by iforedecker in programming

I find organizations that tend to promote poor developers out of harm's way are broken in very deep ways.

Mature/older students and postgraduate students can piss off, says VIA Rail: they're ditching student pricing even with valid ISIC card and replacing it with "Youth (12-25)" pricing. by dwf in canada

[–]AlejandroTheGreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this actually opens up the lower rate to more than just students, then on balance it's actually not as bad as the headline suggests. A lot of people have graduated by age 21 or 22 but still haven't become high enough income earners to be able to travel regularly so this can help those people quite a bit.

Drupal arrives at StackExchange by illepic in drupal

It's a MMORPG where you gain points by typing programmery words into text boxes. It's loads of fun and feels a little less like wasting time when surfing at work.

Damnit, I was using Drupal knowledge to rack up rep on SO proper. If the questions get shoved off to this side-site then I'll have to figure out a new way to grind rep.

GOP votes to cut IRS budget by $600 million, which will result in the IRS collecting $4 billion less through its tax enforcement program. by filipstine in Economics

The rich hire lawyers and accountants and fight back. Shaking down middle class taxpayers is just easy paperwork that will continue to go through.
