I'ld put Chris Harris into the studio, I think he has a sharp wit and could quickly gather a following

These companies really don't need it. When I setup my cable, electric etc. I didn't have an SSN, it takes time to get one when you are an immigrant. As soon as they learned I just didn't have one then they went down an alternate procedure. I think in the end I only had to leave a deposit with the cell phone company, everyone else just connected me.

This can be a pain down the line when trying to deal with these companies over the phone though as everyone wants the last 4 digits of your social as part of their authentication process.

I don't know about the religious aspect, but as an immigrant Thanksgiving isn't a holiday which means much to me personally aside from having a couple of days off. I mean I understand an appreciate the significance, and I have been lucky enough to visit families and experience a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but a family orientated holiday doesn't mean a lot when the rest of your family doesn't really care.

Erm, thats a Koenigsegg Agera

That quite frankly is an appalling and shocking way for a national broadcaster to behave. Also I heard that the commentators didn't know who Sir Tim was and suggested that views Google him, did that really actually happen?

I thought Tenn and Peller were the tribute act, is there more than one?

Also, I would have thought that an SE who wants to go back to dev would be gold dust. A dev who has spent all that time in the field trying to sell is a fantastic asset to any product company, and any product company should know this.

But I thought that the rumble strips on the side of the road were there so blind people knew when they had go too close to the edge? Have my friends been lying to me?

I hear that option. I've decided to go to Cuba for my next vacation, I'm in the UK but the rest of my team is in the US, as is our mail server. I figure that I won't be able to connect to the mail server even if I wanted to, and thus ensure 2 weeks of complete downtime

I agree with you on the 75%. I just changed from working in an office when not at customers to working from home, new job and no office in my country. It is incredibly easy to forget to stop working when working from home. If my wife is out for the evening she has started to phone me at about 7 and ask if I am still working, and if so might it not be a good idea to stop.

Also it's pretty nice to take 30 minutes at lunch time and actually have somewhere to go at relax with some food, a book and some peace and quiet

I miss read the summary at first and thought they are aiming for it to be as stable as Skype, I thought can't you aim a little higher than that guys.

Reminds me of someone talking about how they got 5 nines uptime with Windows, some else asked if they were aiming for 10% next year

I think the bigger impact for some people will be being even further ahead of the US in terms of timezone. At the moment 5 hours is okay, I work with people in the Middle East, Europe, UK and the east coast, from the UK and this is manageable at the moment. I don't start work until about 9 and then work till about 7 or 8 if needed. This gives me a good amount of overlap with everyone. If this goes ahead then I'm going to be have to work later into the evenings sometimes, just negating the increase in outside drinking time, and giving me less quality time with my wife who will be working normal UK hours.

Nice idea, but not something that is particularly convenient for myself

They are quite frankly just plain disturbing, especially the first one. I would advise people only to follow the links if they are of sound mind and solid constitution.

Yes. And yes, Also to be sure to be sure, yes.
