I think what you're describing is exactly the same situation in which start up founders find themselves. The couple needs to agree on the direction and organization of their family, just like the founders need to agree on the directio

Almost all of these things apply to marriage as well, minus the bits about exit strategy. If you think committing to the same direction for 2-3 years is difficult, it's not time to get married yet!

I don't know. The current convention is always to enter the credit card number first, then the name later (usually as part of the billing address). Once you start entering your card, the rest of the information is explained nicely.

Personally, sites that auto-tab to the next input drive me crazy. It makes it nearly impossible to edit if you make a mistake. Try explaining to grandma why the cursor doesn't stay where she put it!

Or could it be simple supply and demand? After all people care a lot about the quality of service, as you say.

In reading anecdotes like this it seems that in the south, "Christianity" has been hijacked to have something to do with keeping up the status quo or patriotism or something, which is radically different from my experience (and no

I don't think the parties have changed much. The same moralist convictions that caused Republicans to be anti-slavery in the past are the same ones that make them anti-abortion today, for example.

I think they mean one level above you in the hierarchy. What are the managers in the company wearing?

You're confusing "status quo" with "consensus".

I didn't say they were mutually exclusive, I said one bothered me more than the other. You're right that there is a pattern of abuse of the citizenry coming from this administration, but don't think that abuse is as accepte

Obama is already using the IRS to harass his political opponents. I don't want that to get easier for either party.

I don't support him. I think it's wildly hypocritical of him to run to China and Russia because he's so opposed to government spying. I also think that the NSA spying is less troubling that the other numerous abuses of the

No. A free trial is different than a cheap product. When we evaluate vendors for our multi-million dollar data warehouse hardware, we expect them to come to our site and demo their product for free.

Then he was irresponsible to criticize the policy. If he ran against surveillance and then continued to escalate it, he's wrong. Whether he was foolish or a liar is I suppose up for debate.

This is why I am unmoved by the hysteria over whether our society is "tolerant" enough. Not all choices are morally equal, and some actions are worthy of condemnation.
