I agree. It never occurred to me that Google would manage to screw something up as fundamental as making sure domain renewals worked properly. Of course, given the recent issues we've seen reported with SSL certificates being allowed to e

The name doesn't stand out - it's complicated and hard to remember the spelling, plus it arrived after Craigslist was already popular. Of course, Craigslist isn't nearly as big in other countries - In the UK gumtree is the winner, and in No

You don't have to love your job in order to be happy. If it provides you with the money you need and still leaves you time to do the things you love, is it horrible not to love it? And what if loving your job results in you neglecting othe

Typically they all submit their resignation effective at the end of the term. If the new president wants them to stay on, he'll ask them to do so ahead of time - I'm not sure if they have to be confirmed again, though... Since we haven't

Condi's term as Secretary of State would also have ended at 12:00, so at that point she wouldn't have fallen anywhere within the chain of command.

If you follow the MTV Cribs link below the embedded video, you can see it. It's a bit over the top, but there are some nice areas there!

I've always sort of wondered who uses Campfire... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a bad product, but it's never struck me as something that was really missing from either my work life or my personal life.

Actually, potatoes aren't as bad as people make them out to be. Some of the starches in potatoes are very similar to fiber, and they do contain quite a few vitamins and minerals (the article doesn't mention B6, thiamin, riboflavin, folate,

I guess I just don't get why this would be "the only way to convince yourself that the "wiki" is a valuable medium". We use wikis at work without this, and I don't think anyone here would argue that it isn't a valuable resource. The histo

I agree - sort of. A company should always present a unified front, and no one person should be asked to sacrifice himself (or herself) because of a problem. Internally, however, you have to make sure you have processes in place to find ou

Yeah, when you use sea salt, you're not using it everywhere, usually just at the end for presentation - otherwise it's just going to dissolve anyway, so there's no point in using it elsewhere. And as you mentioned, getting enough iodine isn

It really depends on the type of work you're doing. For jobs that require a lot of collaboration, open areas holding around 10 people can be good. Some jobs would benefit more from having offices that hold 2-3 people each, and for jobs th

"The research found that the traditional design was better - small, private closed offices." They're not suggesting the use of cubicles - I know I wouldn't really consider cubicles to be much different than open plan offices.

Same with Chicago. --I don't know where they expect you to live for $337/month. And somehow they're trying to claim that Raleigh, NC is more expensive at $384 - not a chance.

Yeah, Electoral-vote's results were pretty much the same as 538's. --And I consider Tanenbaum's site to be better overall, because while it's not as pretty, he's completely open about how he arrives at his results and makes all the data he
