An
excellent little article on framing. I tend to think about
these things in most conversations I have and especially when I'm
dealing with anything coming out of the media. Many times it's
not the answer that's important, it's the question. People who
take polls have known this for years, and can change the results
based on the language that is used when taking the poll. People
generally don't know when you've changed the context of a
conversation but there are people out there who are completely
immune to the entire practice. For example:
<blizzard> %ifarch i386 <blizzard> CC=gcc296 CXX=g++296 <blizzard> %endif <blizzard> BUILD_OFFICIAL=1 MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1 \ <blizzard> this is me crying <boc>WARNING: PARENTAL DISCRETION IS ADVISED
