- mayhap begin by not referring to them as 'underlings'. - Diva Apr 12, 09:20
- It's always hard, but I've learned over the years that being straightforward with the criticism is really the best thing for everyone involved. - pmb Apr 12, 09:18

Bing marketshare growing. If current trends continue, it will overtake Google by January 2012. -- (link) - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 12, 09:14 6
- I wonder if that market share includes all of the time they have to reshoot all the TV shows that Bing paid for product placement -- nm - sycor Apr 12, 09:15
- Source Code spoiler - con_carne Apr 12, 09:15
- I'm rather surprised it's as high as 30 percent. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 12, 09:15 1
  - You take that chunk they bought by taking over the Yahoo search and it's not that surprising. But that's where their growth ends. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 12, 09:16
- ... -- nm - Disco Stu Apr 12, 09:14 1
  - Hee! -- nm - David Apr 12, 09:16
A friend of a friend applied for a personal assistant job through craigslist which pays $350/week. How legit does this reply sound? - Hotkiss Apr 12, 09:07 37

- this is money laundering. -- nm - Diva Apr 12, 09:15
- really? somebody in UK wants an assistant in the US...scam -- nm - ceregon Apr 12, 09:14
- that is such crap! she should ask for $375/week -- nm - dogbert Apr 12, 09:13
- There are Nigerian Princes who think this is to obvious -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 09:13 3
  - Aren't most "personal assistant" jobs on craigslist fake? I mean, why would you legitimately hire a stranger to do your stuff? -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 12, 09:14 1

    - could be. either way she is supposed to deliver packages. -- nm - sycor Apr 12, 09:13
    - But why toys! -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 09:13 6

        Not necessarily laundering. the checks could just be fake. The merch. is sent to others who resell it. -- nm - decline Apr 12, 09:22 1
        
        there are way cheaper ways to get the merch. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 09:27
