  1. URLT (Update Resume, Leave Town) on How Would You Handle a $1,000,000 Coding Error? · · Score: 1

    Some co-workers not too far from my cube have sometimes used the acronym URLT (Update Resume, Leave Town) when describing what to do in such a situation. None of them ever have and I wonder if their management during those times was more to blame than their supposed mistakes.

  2. lowering humans or raising chimps? on Chimps Belong in Human Genus? · · Score: 1

    By adding chimps to the human genus will we be raising the status of chimps or lowering the status of humans? How long before we're forced to agree with the folks who say "we must treat chimps the same way we treat our hom. sap. relations"? Or will we decend further into the debate that humans are just another animal and therefore don't deserve the elevated status we give them (and enjoy)?

  3. terry-cloth wash cloths on The Science of The Moist Towelette · · Score: 1

    We bought a couple dozen cheap "terry-cloth" wash cloths. When it is time to wash my baby's bum, we soak it in warm/hot water and clean him off. Then it goes in the diaper pail with the soiled diaper to be washed, dried and used again.

    Works really well.

  4. Annual meeting's focus was on "Building Trust" on Accidental Privacy Spills · · Score: 1

    If this is the right home page: www.weforum.org it shows that the main focus of the event was "Building Trust". Sort of ironic given what happened to her email.
