ZipRecruiter.com: auto-publish to many job sites with one click, and screen for real candidates with a roll-your-own quiz. Took me just 5 mins to post a job and have it propagate to about 8 job boards. And the quiz can be as light (check for a pulse with multiple choice) or as heavy (arbitrarily deep with free-form text) as you want.
Look closely…even the license plate and parking spot.
The inventor, Robert Finkelstein, at least says that it eats ”mostly vegetarian”.
WTF #1: NewEgg offers a combo/discount where you can get this HP server along with a pair DIMMs…which is fine and dandy if it weren’t for the fact that you wind up with 3 DIMMs total, for a computer that only accepts them in 1/2/4 configurations.
WTF #2: Ok, fine. So I head off to Fry’s to pick up another DIMM (by the way, no one there knows a damn thing about memory). So, I finally get the new DIMM, but then I can’t get the damn computer to boot. After trying various combinations, I discover that the original DIMM just doesn’t like to be paired up with any of the others. After a little googling, turns out that the computer came with a DIMM that is not compatible with any of the other 3 DIMMS (former is unbuffered, latter are “registered”, not compatible…FAIL).
NewEgg, you suck.

Sneaky PayPal: just noticed that PayPal will, by default, charge you for personal transfers. Turns out that all transfers default to being a “purchase”, which are subject to a fee of 2.9% + $0.30, unless you manually change your transfer to “personal”. I don’t know when this started exactly, but turns out PC World noticed this started back in August.

HuffPo reports that the quote was apparently just lifted from The Quote Garden, where it was also coincidentally attributed incorrectly to the Coach (but since fixed).
