So the new company told you that you would be retained but didn't have the stones to tell him that he would not be retained? That's kind of lousy business practice.

I've never regretted leaving a toxic job. Ever. But it'll be better (as others have already said) to not leave until you have another job offer accepted. And at least tough it out for a year so your resume says "February 2014-March 2015) or something. Good luck. It's worth leaving for your...

Yeah totally. I stopped buying antibacterial soaps years ago and haven't looked back. That "Triclosan 0.3%" isn't doing us any good and actually making things worse by making bacteria more resistant! I just do a really good job handwashing -- the mechanical action of rubbing and moving your...

^^ This. Well said. OP has twisted definitions and semantics and is overreacting. Lots of drugs are helpful. Insulin for diabetics. Abx (antibiotics) when properly prescribed to help the body fight bacterial infections and get better. Corticosteroids for certain pneumonia or asthma. OH...

Wow, this is surprising news. Microsoft doesn't usually open-source anything.

Most people only use WiFi as a means to get on the Internet. And if your Internet Speed tests give you what you're paying for, it wouldn't be worth the money to upgrade to AC at this point. So if your Internet is 50 Mbps, the difference between your WiFi being at 450 or 600 Mbps (a newer N...

If you're talking corporate and enterprise, Windows Server 2008 (and even 2003) pretty much dominate, and Windows Server 2012 is slowly being adopted. It seems pretty stable and likely to continue to dominate the enterprise server market (at least the applications that cannot run on Linux)...

Either graphics card physical failure or AGP/motherboard physical failure. Just old and dead -- the electronic components die over time. I replaced the video card in my 6 year old laptop last summer. It was like $20 on eBay. Make sure all your data is backed up and buy a new system as soon...

Are you in Canada? That changes things, I believe. I'm not familiar with the offerings, neighbor up North.

I built my own FreeNAS, but the learning curve is pretty intense, especially if you're a power user. It's fairly simple and GREAT to set up, but I wanted to learn everything about the ZFS file system and how it uses RAID-Z and RAID-Z2, and properly set up the datastores and zvols correctly...

Strawman. There are plenty of degree programs that make it hard to compete in today's job market for various reasons. The degree could be so generic that the market is oversaturated (such as my English friends who "wanted to be a writer", Art History, 16th Century Classic Languages...

My belief system and life experience are exactly in line with ImperatorWall's and Miss Spaulding's. Not just this post but the other posts. It's what cynicism will do to somebody. Whether a school, class, professor, assignment, adds value is a value judgment from the consumer's perspective...

I want to be a really good husband and father. I'd like to be debt free and also save for retirement, emergencies, and other goals like vacations, children's tuition, and remodels. I also want to get accepted to grad school.

I'm jobless too and worried about paying for food and rent, and I really need health insurance to see a doctor. I'll pray for you, OP and others who have posted in this thread, as well as others who haven't. I'd appreciate prayers and happy thoughts too.

This is easy: speed. You say the hospital's close anyway, so get to the ER as safely and quickly as possible. I also second the fact that i wouldn't have at least one cell phone on me, if not 2-3. I also have AT&T coverage on one phone and Sprint coverage on the other which comes in very...

I bought my first smartphone last summer, a nice HTC One. It was about $550, which I paid full price since I no longer do the contract thing. (Freedom!) My cell phone bill is about $11 per month now, and it includes 4G LTE tethering. If I actually used the data plan or voice plan on it, it...

I second OpenDNS and have been using their regular DNS servers for 1/2 a year now. 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 No account needed. If you want to automatically block adult sites, use their FamilyShield DNS servers instead: 208.67.222.123 208.67.220.123 These will automatically and...

Also, auto parts stores will recycle lead acid batteries. That's where I took some old UPS batteries.

I think he's being indirect and dishonest and using an excuse to break up with you, but no matter what the reason is, it's still gonna hurt you. Sorry. *hugs*
