Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: It is a little funny, the "what do they eat" question is meant to illustrate the attention to detail, which Fallout 3 clearly does not have (you can sum up the entire argument with Fawkes.) The whole "200 years after the apocalypse" is part of this lack of ....


Comment preview: >attention to detail is pretty important to me I think it's interesting that you demand such attention to detail, but you yourself failed to pay attention to detail when you first tried to post this CMV: http://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/32h ....


Comment preview: Grow it out longer than a 5 o'clock shadow and get a beard trimmer to keep it trimmed. There is nothing wrong with intentional facial hair. For a finance person, they could see your attention to detail in your facial hair as a positive thing. This may soun ....


Comment preview: Really? Because, looking at [the episode transcript](http://atla.avatarspirit.net/transcripts.php?num=120), nobody even *mentioned* her eyes during that or any other scene (save for a couple of passing mentions during her narration of the flashback describ ....


Comment preview: Personally, I would not submit this video as an "artisan" video. But I do believe this video demonstrates "nuance of skill" in the method of wrapping and the execution. A hallmark of many artisan methods is attention to detail: this wrapping method is less ....


Comment preview: The trick is to look at the details. It was actually pretty obvious that Obama was full of it on a lot of his campaign promises. The most defined example I can come up with was on environment (because I'm a hippy and find that stuff important). During the ....


Comment preview: This is one of those characteristics that make Pep such a great manager. Forget the 'he only takes over teams that are already great' nonsense. There's still so much work that managers need to put in to ensure that everything goes well with their teams and ....


Comment preview: Children are a lot more focused than adults give them credit for. Usually, adults think kids are unfocused, but it's just because the kids aren't focusing on what the adult wants them to focus on... I'd say test her attention to detail regularly. Foster th ....


Comment preview: I generally don't comment on these penguins, but it sounds like you really need some help. There were two other comments at the time I'm writing this with good advice: interview for jobs you don't "want" as practice and to *relieve a little of that built-u ....


Comment preview: To be honest, this comment chain kind of pisses me off, because I believe this way of thinking stems from the media; how many TV shows star an attractive, slim and young looking wife, while her husband has a "dad-bod" at best, or is an overweight, perma-ea ....


Comment preview: It sounds like she's not upset that you didn't pay attention to the type of sandwich she asked for--it sounds like she's upset that you *never* pay attention to small details. You actually admit this: >As to the Never paying attention thing, I have been ....


Comment preview: Yes, there is a federal clearance for Hazmat, and some programs are on a need to know basis only, so we cant talk about it very much. The industry has lost a huge number of hazmat drivers because they do not pay them any extra and expect us to deal with th ....


Comment preview: And of course if you haven't killed anything, now is as good a time as any. Find an animal that you find cute and adorable (preferably a kitten) and strangle it. Make sure to take notes of your feelings as it happens, like the rush you feel as you watch th ....


Comment preview: That was my point when mentioning "The Prince of Egypt". You can follow the source material and have the resulting movie/song/tv show/video game be good. The problem is that most Christian media doesn't start from a stand point of being "entertaining". It' ....


Comment preview: People voice their anger at the lack of low-latency audio on Android too, even here on reddit I see people complaining about it often. The difference is that a much smaller percentage of people want to use/create apps that take advantage of low-latency aud ....


Comment preview: Hand-made isn't necessarily better than machine-made. Which is better depends on the materials used, the precision required, the attention to detail required, and the overall design. It also depends on the person making it. Shoes handmade by me aren't goin ....


Comment preview: Oh, we've all heard the official story. It was a one-in-a-million chance. Ostermann was saved by being a watchmaker. (Like a theoretical physicist wouldn't have a better understanding of what was happening to him.) Or by his OCD and attention to detail. (B ....


Comment preview: **Sleeping Dogs** I had tried it for a couple hours back when I first bought it a month or two ago and put it down. It was interesting but I was in the middle of other games at the time. This week, I had finally cleared up my current roster and turned my f ....


Comment preview: This upsets me ... Let me tell you why. Many years ago, I had come home from a days work.. a LONG days work. My then girlfriend had a friend over, and as I walked through the door (STARVING), I commenced preparing the mother of all sandwiches.... thick s ....


Comment preview: I read through the books in about five months. Took my time, tried to take it all in. I had some ideas about things but for the most part I sort of enjoyed it. I didn't feel like I had read anything truly legendary like Dune. Since finishing, though, I' ....


Comment preview: In relation to engineering drawings: positional tolerancing, how to design something that still works after tolerances are taken into account (referring specifically to multiple pieces that will be assembled.), and really just how to make a good drawing in ....


Comment preview: Having done some songwriting myself I think this analysis completely ignored melodic rhythm. I think today's music is just stressing a new type of complexity. 'Modern' sounding melodies have more syncopation, as well as contrast between parts. Try this, li ....


Comment preview: I had a supervisor who made a point to tell me that **my whole life obviously revolves around attention to detail**, thus I have difficulty relating to people. I go to great lengths to point out extremely unimportant details in everything; for some reason ....


Comment preview: Let people wear what they want to wear without making them feel terrible about it. Who cares if it's a $5 dollar pair of glasses or a $200 dollar one. Some people may be into fashion and can really appreciate the attention to detail put into a designer bra ....


Comment preview: You 'gamed' the interview, but not the job. For companies who care about code-quality and maintainability, a single 'messy' coder can cause hell, and be of negative value (a cost). As one who is meticulous with their code quality, nothing is more infuriat ....
