Perhaps choosing the cheapest legal solution is a better middle road?

If you eliminate the "average" segment of your staff, then you fire good staff next time around.

Alternatively: if you eliminate the "average" segment of your staff, then you fire their "average" replacements next time around?

You're referring to capitalism, the game where rich parents raise their entrepeneurial offspring.

Scrabble is a play of words or meaning? Perhaps you're looking for the triple word scrore in today's crossword puzzle as well?

Steve Jobs is dead because he wouldn't listen to other people.

Irony being that some of these "native brits" would be descended from Indian/Pakistani immigrants.

Huge drop in oil prices has driven inflation lower (oil had been high for a long time). Nothing to see here.

tl;dr increasing urban density => decreasing car use

Truth is, more cars are being sold than ever before, but even this is levelling out.

Global bicycle production per capita, on the other hand, has halved since the 1970's

Lenin is basically a love doll.

"Now, I am become love doll, the destroyer of men's opression" - Vladimir Lenin, 2015

... so your boot isn't really 'locked' at all?

Alternatively, you stop watching movies and do something else?

Isn't Spain subject to the European Convention on Human Rights?

'secret' police

If these were 2 people, then who is the 'problem':

* US with heavy debts?

* Germany with savings?

Germany is in a position to fix its infrastructure, but then again, this can wait until there's a need for job creation.

Also, outstanding tax 'reforms' are more a symptom of weak political influence by corporations, which is a good thing.

Germany isn't the US, and for this reason, it is rich.

Edit: punctuation

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear kids :-)

No one wins an argument.

Perhaps you don't need to be doing that if your subconcious mind is capable of doing the same?

Is your concious 'rational' mind at war with your 'irrational' subconcious - each reaching a different conclusion to the other? Or do they agree?

Is there such a thing as consciousness at all? Maybe we're just more or less conscious of different interactions and these tests are really only showing what we find the most difficult?

Bruce Lee said, "You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend."

Perhaps you mind is best left empty and in this emptiness lies life's greatest achievement?

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walked into a pub and bought himself a pint...

Does this mean the NSA hacked Sony (from NK)? Would explain both the 'Sony internal' nature of the attack and the FBI's assertion that this was 'from North Korea'.

The Europeans or the Mexicans?

Aren't these goats also an invasive species?

Stopped reading after if he wins the next election

Don't think Facebook offers relationships at all - just an endless stream of adverts and selfies. Like watching TV with all the programmes removed.

Anyway, it's all going to be totally different with smartwatches...

What happens if the prosecution breaks the law. Can the judge toss the case?

If trust is earned then they should all be graded 'D' until shown otherwise.

Anything that can read my contacts should automatically be a 'D' in my opinion. Take pictures and access the internet - that's a 'D' too. I know this site is measuring the difference to people's expectations, but privacy needs to be re-framed once you have an out of control government in the mix.

Does the US really export anything at all if the money is really 'aid' from the US (military aid)?

The undetected move is the one within your track record, so cheating doesn't help much, unless you're cheating every move in every tournament. Would performance enhancing drugs be a better fit to this scenario?

Let the 'war on Chinese hacking' begin (now that the 'war on drugs' is lost and the 'war on terror' is off the front pages). Was this supposed to distract us from Obama handing over Guantanamo terrorists or that Snowden used all the appropriate channels to report the NSA's illegal activities?

At least the US hasn't been gaining unfair competitive advantage in Chinese markets via their own 'deep burrows'.
