MrMatters··on Save IE6
> I love how you can only open one tab at a time, thus focusing your efforts. Multi-tab browsing is the devil!

Just seeing someone refer to IE6 as "tabbed", albeit single-tabbed, made me realize how far we've come.

MrMatters··on How rich kids already won the career game
Are you saying that height doesn't matter, or just that being tall doesn't give you an advantage over being average? I've always heard it does, but that's just anecdotal. Short people are definitely at a disadvantage though. Height matters.

An analyst/associate is not going to be able to go off and start his own boutique if he can't even make it to MD in an existing firm(s).

I imagine most would. Even here (US), "professor of _ at Harvard" sounds more respectable than "top executive," including "top executive of Toyota" in certain circles (like to most of the public).

One commands respect, while the other sounds powerful and possibly evokes stereotypes of evil, rich guys.

I mean, there's no hiding it if you're a top executive at a big company, but putting the other title first gives off a certain impression to most normal folk. No?
