• ‘Always Hit on the Wingman’: Love tips from the male mind

  • I don't know if the author is really a man or a woman or even straight, but I can tell you this would definitely deserve some more lab time; I'm pretty confident this applies at least to 'moes.

• Mitt Romney's tax returns: He earned $42.5 million, is paying $6.2 million in taxes

  • @Mr Amazing - Sorry, we can't pin all of the bad press on President Obama. He actually put our wars on the books that isn't exactly chump change. The recession isn't his doing. Sorry. God forbid, his focus actually led to the killing our prime target in Afganistan.

  • I am employed, thankfully. However, I am also looking. I've reviewed many many job titles which normally cover a specific set of skills. In IT you expect a lot of overlap, or at least the ability ot adapt and learn what is needed since many disciplines are closely related.
