Hey, as long as they don't morph the name into something that's got a pin-up girl eating a candy bar, it's all good.
I would have preferred Key Lime Pie to an obvious commercial connection, but whatever.

Befriend your barista, or whomever is your drink-of-choice maker (bartender works too). That is *always* a good thing.

VOTE: BEST EXERCISE HEADPHONES

I don't buy the line at the very end (the fine print, per se) that states a job could do lasting damage to your resume. How, exactly, does any position do that (unless you have a string of 2 months here, 3 months there, for your entire career history)?

I find it odd that they needed a survey/study for this. It stands to reason that apologizing for something means admitting that you were wrong. No one likes to admit that they're wrong. So yeah, it makes sense that refusing to apologize makes you feel more empowered - you're in control, and you believe that you're

" It's not only possible to change jobs but it is easy too. I know of people who were able to quit one job and get hired within 2 weeks by another company within the Valley. The market is still going great there."

I'm 41 (on the edge of 42), and I've been at 6 companies (technically, it's 7, but two of them are connected via a strange subsidiary/parent arrangement that is not normal by any means). I'm also in Silly dotcom Valley, if that helps - job hopping is almost the norm around here. I was at one of my positions for 8.5

Granted, you cannot control distractions like the guy in the next cubicle watching the latest viral YouTube sensation, or the annoying girl who wants to come over and chat like there's no tomorrow. You're still going to have to manage them. If the office being noisy is an

In California, it's still on the top right corner for the sticker (top left is for the month of registration, which is permanently on the plate).

Now you've covered online gaming. How about board gaming wallpapers? I'm not talking Monopoly, here. Let's see Kingmaker, Tara, Runebound, Hannibal: from Rome to Carthage, Arkham Asylum, Kill Doctor Lucky.... A well set up chess set, or a Scrabble board?

Freezing cookie dough works really well too, at least for a half hour, to keep the cookie firm but chewy inside.

Schrödinger doesn't answer his email because he never opens the box to find out if it's there waiting or if it's not there.

If the specs are good and the price is right, I'll buy one - if I can reliably root it. :)

I was a contractor at a company for about 9 months while they dangled (since the 4th week) the fact they wanted to hire me. Then my hours got cut to half time, so I found another contract to fill the time. When it got round (via a nicely placed bug in a gossipy person's ear) that the other contract wanted to hire me

We're tired of it and, yet, Gizmodo is still reporting it. I figure you guys are tired of it too. So, why keep reporting it?

If this is indeed true, why do I think we're not even remotely close to the end of the crazy that is this story?

That's going to make it very hard to apply to any college, or research any college - the vast majority of them have application processes that are online.

I suspect there are more people out there using double monitors than you think.

My mistake - you're right. Dolly Madison. I mis-spoke there. Either way, they're valuable lines/brands.
