passive -aggressive ... personality disorder or rational behaviour ?
by caliber inhow should we lay persons view this ?.
it's true that if you look under "passive-aggressive personality disorder" (papd) in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (the older editions--more about that below), you find the syndrome solemnly described as a "pervasive pattern of passive resistance to demands for adequate social and occupational performance.
" but once you delve into the history of the term, you realize that--at least in the eyes of its critics--it's mostly useful as a high-flown way to call someone a pain in the ass.

2008 gets longer by one second !
by caliber in2008 gets longer by one secondposted on: tuesday, 9 december 2008, 09:50 cst .
the world's timekeepers are making the year 2008 even longer by adding a leap second to the last day of the year.. the earth is slowing down, which requires timekeepers to add an extra second to their atomic clocks to keep in sync with earth's slightly slowing rotation.
so on december 31st at 6:59:59 p.m., an extra second will be added before 7:00 p.m. eastern standard time.. the extra second, plus the extra day on feb. 29, makes the year 2008 the longest year since 1992.. the decision to add the extra second was made by an international consortium of time keepers and was announced on monday.
