What are your hours like?

@ semck

I don't know about that. Having your own company invloves a lot of things like finances, managing people, risk, that some people may not enjoy. Maybe you love making cartoons. Is being an animator at Pixar where you can devote all your time to what you love and get paid well for it really so much worse than trying to start your own animation studio?

@abge: my thoughts, exactly.

@goldie: Unlike most tech companies, SpaceX has stricter work policies. For full time employees, one small mistake can lead to one getting fired. (One reason for this type of low tolerance might be due to the case that the company works in space tech where a small mistake can cost you hefty sum. For example, "http://www.around.com/ariane.html" ) That is why a lot of people feel that the work environment is stressful. But those who like what they do (in my case, Signal Processing) it is like heaven. Politics is almost non-existent. And if one is a perfectionist, then this is the place for you.

So, you basically work 24/7 then, that means.

Nope...one works during and do nothing else during work hours, that's it. And it is voluntary if one wants to work extra hours.

So I'm really busy and everything's going great..

So now I'm considering the option of delegating some work around the webdesign-stuff. I have no clue how this would work legally though, amongst other things..

question about cheating investigations

I am a player in a (now paused) game "live gunshot 412." In the middle of a turn the game was apparently paused by a moderator...message was posted that the game had been paused due to a cheating investigation. Do those playing in the game find out the results from the investigation? Is it the case that even if no cheating is found that the game will still be cancelled? Can I go to bed without fear of the game resuming and me being charged with an nmr? Thank you.

Iphone/Ipad issue?

I've had to make some recent moves using these devices, and notice that in builds, I thought I've entered a fleet, only to have an army appear. It's almost certainly user input stupidity, so am I missing something in the save/ready commands? Is there a default set to army if an order is entered but improperly saved? Help - the admirals are pissed off.

United States wins Women's World Cup!

With a 5-2 win over reigning champions Japan, which included 4 goals in the first 16 minutes (3 of them by Carli Lloyd), the USWNT has won their 3rd World Cup (the record), and first since 1999.

Any thoughts? Presumably I'm not the only one who cares about this...
