Our wedding is 50's themed and we're trying to name the tables after popular 50's fads/icons/music etc. Unfortunately, browsing online and our own limited knowledge of the decade has brought up short on enough names.

Imagine: You have an upcoming interview that will be heavily focused on algorithms (specifically computer language related but not a specific language). What resources would you turn to?

I'm at my wit's end. I've been trying to configure tomcat (through apache 2 using mod_jk) to automatically re-direct all traffic to HTTPS from HTTP. More boring technical details to follow.

IT Department naming conundrum. We've recently re-structured and in the shuffle a number of new positions, roles and responsibilities have been re-allocated to myself and my immediate staff. Help me come up with a name that adequately encompasses said changes and is recognizable in the industry. More details inside.

Tell me what web-forms really, really impress you. I'm stuck in "form-developer" block mode, and after muddling through mountains and mountains of layouts and best practises sites, I think I'm about to explode.

We're looking at our first reception hall tomorrow for our upcoming wedding. Given that this is our first foray into these types of affairs what are some important questions you asked, or wished you had asked prior to scoping out locations?

My parents are impossible to shop for. So, a friend recommended a restaurant gift certificate and, seeing that my parents hardly ever get a chance to get out together for a romantic evening, I thought that this would be the perfect gift. However, there is a slight problem...

Being a non-US citizen that has family living in the continental US I have noticed that border traversal has been getting exceedingly difficult and more intrusive. However, the
US-VISIT program seems to take it a little far (IMO).

Based on the recent
contract negotiations for the Toronto Transit Commission (ATU 113) and the nearly averted strike, I was curious as to the average wage paid to other transit employees in countries that offer similar forms of public transit.

Weddings and formal affairs oh boy! This next year will be chock full and since my regular job attire does not include a suit I am clueless when it comes to what is necessary and/or nice to have. I do not need anything different or special, but well-fitted is a must. What type of suits are best all year round, easy to alter (by a tailor, not myself), and just look good?

My girlfriend has an interview for a job later this week. She is currently employed, but this new job offers much more than what she is currently receiving. She really wants to use her current job on her resume since it is directly related to the field and good experience, but the possibility of losing her current job if the prospective employer contacts them is a risk she does not want to take.
Anyone have some recommendations on how this situation should be handled?
