I'd encourage you to play around with Obj-C a little more before writing it off. It's actually a pretty simple, compact and concise language once you dig into it. Apple's APIs, on the other hand... :facepalm:

Can you fill me in on where this happened and what your input was? I'm not able to replicate your problem. The input for the number of days/months/years should be numeric, which I should probably not there somehow. Is that your problem?

How much of the revenue comes from IE6 browsers? If it's more than the cost support it/ less drop it... My guess, it's less revenue then cost and that by this time next year we can say the same for IE7.

I'll second the recommendation for Scooby. He's a little strange, perhaps, but his methods are effective and he's got a high signal/noise ratio. http://www.scoobysworkshop.com/

"Consequently, this means that you will receive no value in respect of any of the shares underlying your Options." I don't really see how that's ambiguous... I mean, I think Skype and their investors have behaved like total assholes, but th

The trend of focused education has arisen in tandem with ever increasing numbers of people entering the workforce. In that light, it's hard to argue that specialization isn't hard - not only is it difficult to train people to be generalists
