Clever direct marketing leaflet for pizza delivery

What if this were re-engineered for evil to take over the...


Actually, what if instead of the "Pizza Guy" you "branded" the view from the peephole?

Instead of an opaque image, you placed your company logo, in one of the lower quadrants, on a transparent background. Then the peephole would still be functional, but the "user" would see a branded view of the world.

Although, it might be a little awkward if it's branded for Papa John's and the Domino's guy shows up.

Photographers aren't terrorists and vice-versa

"You're referring to police thugs and private security thugs, right? Right?"

Nope, the question I'm asking is for someone to define what should be done if the things being done now are so "wrong"?

Let me ask the question another way:
How do we protect our society from those that promote Unlawful threats or violence, driven by ideology with the intention of coercion?


In this case, who defines the line between innocent picture taking and spying?

Everyone seems to have many brilliant ideas of how not to stop terrorism.


How about a discussion about how to stop it?

Hmm,
"Odd. Does anyone who watches Family Guy actually find Bill Engvall funny?"


A better question would be:

Odd. Does anyone who watches Bill Engvall actually find Family Guy funny?

As for the quote in the original post "...for some show that no one cares about..."

Sorry to tell you, some people like Engvall. Not very many shows you can watch with your kids in the room.

I remember a time, in the print world, when using rubylithe and wax paste ups was the ONLY way to setup a print job. "Them computer things" were only good for setting type.

Handcoding does have it's place, no doubt, but to list it as a virtue and the only way to go is just neanderthal thinking.

Coders who think they are designers are bad.
Designers that think they are coders are bad.

The two should work together.

But, there are times when they can't and that's when you get the kinda crap pointed out by #28.

ANY Tool, in the "wrong" hands can be bad.

I remember when Dreamweaver did all the bad things folks are talking about on this list (i.e. inserting extra or bad code). But I also know how much it has matured and how little, by comparison, it does it now.

You know, I interviewed for a position at a "news" website once. In that interview they were quite proud of the fact they didn't use anything like Dreamweaver. With that statement, a lot of question got answered. No wonder their pages never loaded properly (PC or Mac) (IE or Firefox).

Dreamweaver isn't the end all, but if used in it's proper context, it's just fine.

Is it a full up development tool? Absolutely not. But, of the tools I have used, from a designer's perspective, it's far better than anything else.

I've worked in shops that claimed to "hand coded everything." When it came down to it, they used a wysiwyg in some form or another to create the big picture, then they sort of stiched it all together by hand. More often than not, they'd then turn to me and my trusty copy of Dreamweaver to actually make their hand coded pieces actually work or be usable.

More Abu Ghraib torture photos

Can we have these photos shown side by side with, oh I don't know, photos of Daniel Pearl's Decapitation?

How about showing the footage the of the twin towers before and after the attack?

Oh, and then let's show photos of some of the people that were in the Trade Towers before and after the attack. No wait, I guess we can't do that can we?

Why is it, that in these forums we are quick to condemn the U.S. but seem to forget the context?

No friends yet.
