Comment Pointless to Try the Search (Score 1) 213
My first and last name are both very common first names. So any search for me as firstname lastname and nothing else does not find me. Maybe I'm there somewhere in the 145,000,000 pages Google just found--but it really would not be worth the effort to try to find out.
Personally, I find this quite handy. I can be sure that without something else to add to it, a simple search for my name won't work. Even trying it on Facebook gives an absurd number of hits--many of them people whose first and middle names are my first and last names...

Was wondering where to put this--so I'll hop in here...
Not everyone's cost is going up. With NO change to my plan (just accepting what Netflix does to get me the equivalent under the new plans) my price goes DOWN $4 a month.
Now, not everyone is on the high-level plan we use--but I have to wonder what the average price increase really is.
And yes, that attitude is problematic--the latte comment is very stupid.
Scientists Say a Dirty Child Is a Healthy Child 331
Researchers from the School of Medicine at the University of California have shown that the more germs a child is exposed to, the better their immune system in later life. Their study found that keeping a child's skin too clean impaired the skin's ability to heal itself. From the article: "'These germs are actually good for us,' said Professor Richard Gallo, who led the research. Common bacterial species, known as staphylococci, which can cause inflammation when under the skin, are 'good bacteria' when on the surface, where they can reduce inflammation."
