Thank goodness for grandfathered plans. This is going to hit my brother though, as his plan isn't up yet and he wants to switch when it does. I do have to question why they go with the data cap method instead of what gas or water companies do though - it's got a terrible connotation. Which sounds better (not which…

I don't have issues (that I'm aware of) with my computer, but my phone... I get so dizzy if I stare at it for very long - usually while reading articles. I can handle maybe one or two LH articles on my phone before I feel terrible. Any way to fix that aside from the obvious not looking at it?

Okay. Surely there's more to this than just wood. Does it have a specially patented absorbing layer that volumnizes and refreshes damaged sound waves? (or am I getting mixed up with that one shampoo commercial?)

So after reading this article and then reading your post, I feel I just got trolled, and I'm not sure by who.

Cats: Captain Nemo, Ranger (named by my parents who threw a fit when I wanted to rename him)

I'll certainly agree with that and no offense taken. There's going to be some impact from gender relations, but I don't feel that's the only reason women in a team contribute. Anyway, I'll let the horse go to its grave now.

I'm having apartment management issues. I just moved out due to lack of maintenance and rent increase and this apartment complex is bleeding dry. Seven out of the eight units in my building are now vacant. I've been asking over the phone what I needed to do to be moved out and each time I was told to just hand the…

Double-thumbs up to you, sir.

Oh, you volunteer? How sweet. That all? C'mon, show me your animal-loving scars and I'll show you mine.

In my dog obedience classes we were told to greet them like we haven't seen them in months for correct behavior. It was only a brief time she'd be on her back and as soon as she got up and walked up to me without jumping I'd praise her and give her treats. The positive reinforcement works so so well with her. I've…

I don't see a problem with that. Should I have hit her instead of just threatening to hurt her? And I trust her not to bite me. I've struck her in the face by accident during a seizure and she just got up and lay down next to my back instead and continued standing guard over me. She's yet to actually bite me. I…

The world doesn't need smart phones.

My dog is well-behaved to begin with, so it didn't take much to train her. She's also been over-disciplined by her previous owners (she's terrified of trash cans, people carrying things, and anything that looks like a stick - makes playing violin around her hard). When I was teaching her not to jump at people I'd…

I get people telling me I need to get my dog a choke collar. I keep telling them no - she doesn't need one, I can get her back in line with verbal commands or put a gentle leader over her nose. If she's pulling it's because I'm letting her and am not doing what I need to do to lead her in proper behavior.

That is exactly what I do as well. We sit around and swap prior employer horror stories. I've heard some pretty bad ones but I still haven't played my trump card. Saving it for the right moment.

I am not trying to be logical or debate. I am expressing my offense at your original statement. Look at it from this perspective: you work hard your entire life, are in the top rung of your class, put a lot of effort into obtaining internships, graduate despite some challenges that would have stopped most people,…

A friend sent me a message last night that he's sent me an invite, but I haven't received the e-mail yet. How long does it take to process?

I'll be in Pennsylvania, and I have no idea what the humidity will be like as I've never gone there before. First year for this trip. Thanks for the advice, that's a lot! I'll definitely try the cotton sheet trick as I've got a nylon cot and see about getting some of the other things you mention. Thanks for the…

He's gone on to another client, so I don't know how he's going to take it. The proper thing would be to send him the information so that he doesn't redo this framework at another client. But from my attempts to explain what is so horrifically wrong with this framework to one of the guys that didn't even write it,…

It's more than just UI's, in my opinion. I feel like men tend to get caught up with their brilliance too easily. Saw it in college, see it in the workplace. They get fixated on this particular bit of code and just tweak the crap out of it and neglect the big picture. While I'm all for finding good ways of doing…
