Just to be clear, this is about as simple a budget you can have while still working on a professional level project (and even then, I think that they may hit a brick wall during their Testing phase). At a larger studio, they’re also dealing with things like blended rates, absorbed costs, and cross studio billing. Game…

While I'm not gay, I can only imagine how difficult it is to exist in a world where the cultural norm is not something you identify with. Where you are different and you can't explain why. Growing up is difficult, and as the information age evolves, it gets more and more difficult. People are connected way more than…

I have no idea what you're saying or if this is in some way sarcastic... Um... Is it?

I agree completely. The only benefit I see here is to gauge how the applicant handles such questions. Otherwise, who cares? Unless the name of the CEO or the number of offices they have is directly relevant to the position, it really shouldn't be a criteria for hiring.

I don't think we need one, I think it's more natural than that. I think we holistically create one as we learn, grow and create connections. Who we are and how we communicate our skills and expertise creates our own Chubby Tub Thumpa.

I think the disagreement here is what your personal brand necessarily is. I don't think you have to change anything about yourself in order to create your own brand. Who you are, the sum of your experiences, what you bring to the table, that is the crux of what your personal brand is. All you do is put it together and…

I don't disagree. The point I was kind of circling around was that the author of the article seems more dissatisfied with the term "personal brand" than the act of creating a personal brand.

I think the issue here is that you are simply disputing the term "personal brand" and not the idea behind it. We are the sum of our knowledge and experience, and how portray and advertise that to those around us is, in essence, our personal brand.

Honestly, all I really want at this point is my 2D dock back. I hate the look of the 3D dock.

You hate them because a small team in Prince Edward Island makes a small joke in an update? Seems silly.

Honestly, I think the key is to make sure that you have a clearly set goal for the meeting, complete with agenda items in your meeting request. This should give people a fairly good idea whether or not their presence is required.

It's a nice homescreen for sure, and I enjoy the trend of using PopUp Widget. The only thing that bugs me a bit is the inclusion of a picture of yourself in the wallpaper. It strikes me as a tad... I don't know... Tacky.

I'm a big fan of Jolidrive. It integrates quite nicely with a lot of services, and allows for a social component if desired.

I worked with Stephane several years ago at a different company, and the dude was a seriously stand up guy.

Any advice for head shaving? I've tried multiple products (from the Mach 3 to the ProGlide, and even a few "specialty" head shaving products), and I always have the same difficulty getting the ridge on the back of my head. And this is with about 13 years of head shaving experience.

When buying my home, I divided the fixes into three categories: 1) Cheap and easy. 2) Expensive but not critical. 3) MUST FIX ASAP.

Yup. You can minimize the damage a bit though by making sure to keep their nails nice and trim, and putting down a rug in their most high traffic areas.

Complete agreement. This should be one of the first things a new renter should budget for. I learned the lesson the hard way when my apartment was robbed. After having had to replace a bunch of stuff myself, I realized how important it was to be prepared. Which was a life saver the next year when the apartment burnt…

It's incredibly telling that 5 out of the top 10 are Samsung devices, as are 4 out of the top 5.

For me this was likely the most fun Christmas special of the Moffat era. Maybe not the "best", and it required some taking things in stride, but I thoroughly enjoyed the episode.
