... what makes anyone think there's a way to come up with a kill switch?

I just helped a client move their website and domain name away from wix. When transferring a domain name away from them they shut down the website (and email!) immediately. There is nothing in the process that requires touching the website, as you are only moving the registration no changes to the name servers or the MX records but they shut down the site and removed all DNS records immediately...meaning that the client’s site and email went away. i then had to go back in and ‘associate a website w this domain name’ (or some such bs) for the time it was still transferring. fortunately, reassigning the website to the domain name restored the DNS (and thank God I had a copy of the website and had done a full DNS report prior to flipping the switch), But someone might not even notice that this is happened and lose a day worth of business and emails before calling in and it’s just bad karma bullshit registrar behavior. And don’t get me started on their websites The only reason I can think of for why they would do this is to force users to call in so they would have another chance to sell them on wix’s services. I have never experienced this kind of scummy practice over 24 years of dealing with hundreds and hundreds of websites and many many registrars.

i have a client who has over 100 5-star reviews on yelp that were inexlicably moved to the kind-of-hidden 'not currently recommended' page... dropping their overall rating from 4.75 to 3.5. no responses to calls or emails. no explanations. no justifications. no mas.

her bogus trademark attempt is getting her more attention than anything she's done previously... had any of us heard of her before this 'news' item? not a bad return on an investment of a few thousand dollars. thanks, dr. ann van what's her name

uh... if you don't like apple, don't buy their products. if you don't think the iphone u/i, design and features rock, spend your money elsewhere. if you DO get one, though, are you saying you'd carry it around without a protective case (or skin)? you know, the kind that would put a layer between the metal antenna and sweaty palm that could potentially affect reception? like... making this a big non-issue?

shouldn't the bottom line be: if you consistently meet or beat your deadlines when the music is cranked, crank on. if listening to music negatively impacts your productivity, then no music for you, bunky. is the manager's goal to set one-size-fits-all policies? or embrace the diversity of the programmer pool for the benefit of the company? just wondering. i usually have music on, and find that the right music will support proposal writing, coding, debugging, whatever. if you can't listen and work at the same time, don't.
