Read the English wikipedia article about metonymy. This figure of speech is not uncommon when referring to organs of state.

Since you've already hit it pretty hard, I would add the DLC, it adds lots of Fun to the game. It does make performance take a major hit though, because of the way the developers used Flash.
My other piece of advice is: don't get spoiled. Don't read about the enemies, levels, powerups, etc. online. Just play the game and let it teach you.
My larger point is that the religion of unconditional love has already been invented, as has Paul's detour. An appreciation for this history would save a student from a lot of intellectual blind alleys.
And aptly, it is Marcion's failure to grapple with Christianity's continuity with Judaism, to appreciate the history and deal with its paradoxes, that led him into heresy. His heresy led him all the way to publishing a version of the Bible with the parts he didn't like cut out.
Paul's post here felt very similar to me.

This particular belief system of unconditional love vs condemning judgment and promised reward, in the context of Christianity, was completely anticipated two thousand years ago. And then criticized.
Instead of reinventing the wheel in this way, you should consider following the grooves of people who have already carved the path. At least you will understand why they turned the way they did.
Not all of us are on the iphone. I guess the audience is being selected.
I figured this was for an album or something. I hadn't heard his music before, but it is now on my radar.
Well done and spotted.

I dropped off my wife's ballot. It is totally normal for one person to drop off multiple ballots at the box. It would even be hard for you to notice multiple ballots being dropped. I did our two with one gesture.
The vote buying cow has already left the barn.
So it's far more important to let citizens verify that their vote was counted accurately, with some sort of anonymizing hash.
If a CSS/JS behavior interferes with your ability to comply with a court order, that just means you have two problems.
I for one don't believe Apple is being contrite and forthright about the harm they were judged to do to Samsung in the marketplace. These judges will clearly lean on Apple until they get the message.
Your chart assumes that entertainment is fungible though. 5 minutes on a roller coaster is probably better than 2 hours of Flubber.
To make the chart accurate, you should have net value = (fun value - cost).
If you value novelty and variety for fun, then video games are the ticket (as long as you aren't sticking to Battlecall of Warfighter genre titles).
They are also meant for ICs, not just people-manager leaders. They are used as touchstones for interviews and performance evaluations.
All they are doing is keeping private communication really private.
What is the difference between this and encrypted email? Hint, you can break a large file into many chunks of email too.
If you don't consider yourself a servant of your customers, and work to please them, your contempt is going to come out instead. I got tired of being used by Facebook. I don't feel that anyone has my back at Facebook. I moved on.
By contrast there are a few sites that bend over backwards to delight me, their customer, whether or not they charge me money or make money from me. Customer service sets great sites apart from sites not worth my time.
My take on this is that it's early in the conversation to downplay these wins as small (after all, why do people die of starvation today? Not shortages or money: distribution, which is a keystone problem for Amazon).
I also hope we will think of improving commerce as a moral issue. Assuming that it boils down to worthless materialism or Mammon is not a fair picture.
Shifting commerce to digital and personal, just-in-time shipping, and customer-centric are good. Ugly business practices, creepy data mining, and DRM are bad. If you want to wave your hand at "conveniences", why wouldn't I wave my hand at "philosophical quibbles"?
Amazon is a mixed bag. For me, it's more good than bad. Putting your blinders on to the good for the sake of argument is not convincing.
I'm not sure I would write such a letter. It is a half truth, and you might have to eat those words if Google gets involved in something that interests you.
These particular incentives are warping the IP system out of control. They have huge downsides and now little upside (unless you hit the patent jackpot yourself and are willing to go sleazy).
It need not destroy all incentives to hurt innovation.
Right after that, Facebook sent me an email. Subject: "Welcome back to Facebook."
Apparently I'm a reengaged monthly active user!
You'll soon run across things you don't take advantage of (it was registers and org-mode for me).

And there's a lot of original compositions as well.
Pretty unstoppable.

Argument keywords are not reified and don't require special forms. Instead, they just happen to be the labels of an object.
I can see why you might not want to start with this concept for pedagogical reasons (you have to know a little about defining a Javascript object). But I would think you would want to move to this soon, so you can also get the programmer's special feeling of creating abstractions that make code disappear.
I see we also have different definitions of slap, slime, empathy, and manipulative.
Once you see that,
You should have said "if you see that." Here's what my eye saw as I was scanning the HN news page:
