proverbial

, or what tools he used to get the job done, as long as it does what it says on the proverbial tin.

Like the proverbial sausage, you dont want to know how its done. Actually, doing science per se is great.

In other words, the free sodas are the proverbial canary in the coal mine. When they die, it's time to get out if you don't want to die with them.

Your response amounts to the proverbial: "No wireless, less space than a Nomad. Lame".

* That was a proverbial you, no you specifically OP.

Then "professional" management came in and killed the proverbial goose. They had to focus more on the "bottom line".

That seems like the proverbial fig leaf and nothing more. If they wanted people to view/edit the message, they would show a preview of the message without "finding" the link first.

It takes a lifetime to become known as superlative, the proverbial gold standard. It's as true on the mean streets as it is in the halls of power: You are what people think you are.

If anything, I could see this model's working out quite well for the proverbial little guy. But first, that little guy faces a big challenge: how to get himself noticed.

The proverbial kiss of death. At least one person actually died as a result of this business transaction.

I can easily see this proverbial manager OK-ing that.

The proverbial 10k hours of practice have to come from somewhere. Time is limited, activities are zero-sum.

And it is probably true that, even if you could become the biggest genius in history, no contest, you've won, you're the proverbial Einstein you'd find it to be a big letdown. You'd feel just as confused as ever.

And by wrong, I mean that you're both shaking your proverbial gender-specific parts around a crowded street, shouting about who's part is bigger, and trying to get the passersby to agree with your side or his. No. One. Cares.

Humans will be humans, sooner or later; so you need to cover the proverbial mattress in waterproof covering, for there will be piss, eventually.

I think at this point, the proverbial "advice market" is saturated with this idea that "doing" is far superior to "thinking". This is because, traditionally, hackers tend to lie squarely on the "thinking too much" end of the spectrum.

What founders have been up to is not always immediately clear when you invest, sometimes the proverbial skeleton in the cupboard can be hidden quite well. I make a living digging such stuff up so I was fairly well prepared but the degree to which these things can blow up still surprised me.

Of course, Skype is a free product, so you may say the proverbial never look a gift horse in the mouth, but Emacs is also a free product, and provides all these benefits I listed above. You have to understand Stallman as someone who is concerned about the future, not so much about the now.

Clarifying it after the fact, with the proverbial lights on removes depth. Also, comparing Reginald to Mike Daisy non-ironically is very disingenuous.

It's disgusting that we can spend as many billions of dollars a year as we do on blowing each other up, but things like "Let's see what's on the other side of that proverbial mountain" get defunded because they're "pointless".

The proverbial dragon to slay here is the HR departments, managers, students, and training programs lacking this advice as fundamental practice. Perhaps we need to see more process-oriented and manager-level technologists joining up with HR professionals to advance the point.

Or, rather, everything the proverbial Stanford represents: Silicon Valley, something approaching new-money meritocracy, and so forth. If enough Stanfords emerge across the world, suddenly the time-honored value of the Harvard degree seems less shiny than it once was.

I realize I'm the proverbial crank working alone, but I'm trying very hard to avoid the common pitfalls---setting hard deadlines, getting customer feedback, getting appropriate exercise and social interaction, etc. And it's working.

I also really like this passage later on: "These cases require us to decide how the search incident to arrest doctrine applies to modern cell phones, which are\nnow such a pervasive and insistent part of daily life that \nthe proverbial visitor from Mars might conclude they were\nan important feature of human anatomy."
