Comment That is *NOT* where Caps Lock goes! (Score 2) 74

Caps Lock is the Least Frequently Used key on any planet unless you're a certain politician with a X account. The key to the left of "A" (above "Shift") needs to be CTRL. The key below "Shift" is "Alt". I am old and stuck in my ways and my wrists can't do 90 degree angles, so I will not accept anything else. Thank you for your vote.

Comment laid off; not fired. There's a difference (Score 1) 60

Layoffs can file for unemployment and COBRA healthcare coverage. Fired people, as far as I know, can't. In the old days this distinction used to affect the chances for future employment. If you were laid off you were probably older or more compensated or both and considered to be too much weight on the balance sheet. If you were fired you were considered bad news / do-not-hire.
