gen_server behaviour in Erlang - You don't want to read this.
by greut
The power of OTP comes from the fact that properties such as fault tolerance, scalability, dynamic-code upgrade, and so on, can be provided by the behavior itself. In other words, the writer of the callback does not have to worry about [those things] because this is provided by the behavior.

Fuzzy Tolerance » Blog Archive » A Note On Standards Some Harshing
by karlcow
But a standard is different from a policy. A standard is something you add to your tool kit. What a standard gives you is interoperability - the ability for diverse tools to read, write, or communicate in a common language. The key to an effective standard is having a body representing relevant industry leaders that can discuss, approve, and record standards.

(DV) Random: Zero Tolerance -- Bush Gets Tough as New Orleans Suffers
by multilinko

On the third day of hell, the president gets tough: “I have zero tolerance for lawlessness.”
With all undue respect, Mr. President, you have a great deal of tolerance for a vast array of lawlessness. You tolerate corporate crime: fraud, tax evasion, no-bid contracts and cooking the books. You tolerate political crime: disenfranchisement, election fraud, slander and outing intelligence agents for political revenge. You tolerate international crime: overthrowing democratic governments, torture, attacks on journalists, the Geneva conventions and wars of aggression.
You tolerate the pharmaceutical industry’s malfeasance, trading thousands of lives for arthritis relief. You tolerate intolerable labor standards both here and abroad. You tolerate industrial waste, poisoning the air, land and water, and contributing far more than your fair share to the problem that precipitated this “act of god.”
In many ways, yours is the most tolerant administration in history.
