| 1 | My speech is typically a bit slurred anyway...does that count? | Do you mumble? |
| 2 | Although there is obviously more than one way to cook broccoli... | Cooking - do you know... |
| 3 | I would like it if I didn't have to use HTML tags to do things like line/paragraph breaks and links. Especially links. I haven't done any hypertext in my surveys/comments because, frankly, I'm scared of screwing it up and messing up the page. But there were a few times I would have liked to use it; like the Beatles album survey...I wanted to include links to the All-Music guide for each album, but I got scared... ***I've only today realized that the line/paragraph break issue has already been addressed! Shows you what I know  ***bill: I've been thinking about it, and frankly I have no idea how you'd make links easier either. In a "perfect GUI" scenario, I guess you could highlight a piece of text, get a context menu on it, select "Link", and a dialog box would pop up allowing you to enter the URL. How hellish would that be to code?!? I suppose I could go looking for it, but is the HTML for links documented in the Help section somewhere? As for the autolinking thing, I think it's cool until someone writes a sentence like "In reality, were a duck to evolve seven breathing gills on its bill, this would lead the rather gilly duck to almost certain doom." This is admittedly a very unlikely sentence. ***bill: Go with your first instinct. It's funny, and it's worth it. ***bill: Whoa! Why do I have a bunch of freaky stuff at the bottom of this page? It seems to be data about me; my login, password, the numbers of the surveys I've created, my email address, my date of birth, my comment on the Cuba survey...and now I just saved changes and it went away...weird! And now it's back again! AAAhhh! I'm scared... | If you were Bill and you had a bunch of free time on your hands, what features would you add to Survey Central? |
| 4 | Whoa! When did we get ranked responses? I'm curious if they'll prevent me from selecting all three as "1 (best)" but I'm too lazy to fix my vote after. Sorry this comment has nothing to do with the survey... | If offered "Coffee, tea or milk?", what is the order of your preference? |
| 5 | I prefer pixels... | In terms of coloring, which do you prefer? |
| 6 | ***Resy, Jody, emily, FateIsRandom, etc: The characteristics you mentioned wouldn't fall under the heading of "qualifications"??? You've interviewed these people and found one more qualified (suited, appropriate, whatever) for the job; this would certainly include how well they would work as a part of your team, etc. You're trying to add criteria that would already be part of any reasonable employer's definition of "qualifications". I apologize if I was too vague in the regard. Oh, and Resy, though it was not targeted at anyone in particular, I was hoping this question would make a few people cranky. It reveals an internal conflict that I find fascinating. Hope you don't feel manipulated ***daver: Yes, you stated my POV precisely; thank you. ***bill: Automatic comment linkage? That's awesome! What a tremendously useful feature! ***Jody: I disagree strongly; in fact I'm willing to go so far as to say that with all due respect, you're mistaken. Someone with a great deal of education and experience, but lousy interpersonal skills, would not be "qualified" for a team leader position, for example. This has more to do with personality, and would absolutely be considered under the umbrella of qualifications. Another example might include a brilliant aerospace engineer who is too tall to "qualify" for jet fighter training. Webster's Revised Unabridged 1913 says this about the word "qualification": 2) That which qualifies; any natural endowment, or any acquirement, which fits a person for a place, office, or employment, or which enables him to sustain any character with success; an enabling quality or circumstance; requisite capacity or possession. There is no qualification for government but virtue and wisdom, actual or presumptive. --Burke. I rest my case. ***Jody: I am more than happy to agree to disagree. ...but why did you delete your entire half of our debate?  I rather enjoyed it... | You're a personnel manager, interviewing job applicants... |
| 7 | He didn't exactly quote the Carlin jokes as written, but they were essentially the same jokes. I think it's the nature of humor that once a joke is told, it can be told by anyone else without necessarily being credited. I mean, somebody had to have written the "chicken crossing the road" joke, but nobody ever gets credit for it. I think his suspension was only appropriate because of the Patricia Smith thing. If they did nothing about it, every self-victimizing special-interest freak in New England would have been dragging it through the press ad nauseum (Smith is black, which is only an issue because the Boston lefties have made it one). What she did is totally different than what Barnicle did. She made up people and quotes out of whole cloth and passed it off as journalism. Barnicle paraphrased a George Carlin joke or two and failed to say "oh, by the way, those were George Carlin jokes." Sloppy, yes, but still a big difference. If their respective positions were reversed, Barnicle would have been fired (just like Smith was in reality), but no one would have batted an eye at Smith's use of the jokes. Racism in the name of avoiding the appearance of racism; now there's irony for ya... ***Oh, an issue I didn't mention: when first asked, Barnicle lied and said that he had never read the book (it was later proven he had). This certainly calls into question the man's character (same kind of thing that applies to Clinton/Monica) but it really has no bearing on the Globe's decision. | Mike Barnicle |
| 8 | It varies, depending on what's running. Right now (at work) I have seven. If I launch DiscPlay, it puts the CD controls in the tray, so that would make eleven. At home I think I typically have eight or nine. ***I'm guessing that the Anonymous comments and survey explanations are new today. Excellent! Two very welcome additions, although I probably won't use the anonymous feature very often. | Windows 95/98/NT users, how many tray icons do you have? |
| 9 | I kick them square in the nuts. If they have any. | When a friend or acquaintance conversing with me expresses an opinion I don't share, my initial response frequently is to... |
| 10 | The US embargo against Cuba is the only thing that has kept Castro in power all these years. | Do you agree with the U.S. embargo against Cuba? |
