If I'm only bug bombing one room, do we have to leave the house need answer ASAP?
I am bombing my sons (18months) room because there was a spider that had babies in it and my wife is demanding i bomb the room. I killed off all the baby spiders I could see and I'm pretty sure I caught them just after it hatched because they were all in a concentrated area and hardly anywhere else after scouring the room. Still, she is mandating that I bomb the room. My question is, do we have to leave the house while the bomb is fogging even if it's just one room and i have it completely sealed off with duct tape (including vents)?

Does anyone else know about the lightning bug fairy?
Last night my 2-year-old and I caught fireflies for the first time in a jar with holes. When I told him that the lightning bug fairy would come and take them while he was sleeping and leave him a quarter for each bug, my husband and our roommate looked at me quizzically. They had never heard of the "lightning bug fairy" tradition. I had always assumed all people who grew up around fireflies had that tradition. But now I'm wondering just how prevalent it is. Did any of you have a lightning bug fairy, or did my mom make her up as a clever way to set the bugs free when we go to sleep?
Is one likely to catch another cold/flu if one is already sick with the cold/flu?
You are just as likely to catch another cold/flu as you were to catch the one you already have.To be fair, there's essentially one less cold/flu in the 'pool' of possible cold/flus for you to get, but that's not enough of a numbers difference to make any difference clinically.Some viruses are 'opportunistic' - which means that someone who's healthy with an intact, healthy immune system is unlikely to get ill from them - they generally (there are exceptions) only cause serious illness in people with compromised immune systems. However, having a cold/flu is very unlikely to make you immune compromised enough to be at risk from an opportunistic infection.You might possibly be slightly less likely to get sick, if you hole yourself up at home and therefore don't come into contact with new viruses, I guess, but most people don't really do that for more than a day or 2.I vaguely remember hearing something way way back when that if a cell is infected with one virus, other viruses have a harder time infecting that cell, but that could be false, and even if it's true, not all possible cells are infected with your current cold/flu, so there are still plenty of victims for a new virus.So, if you have a cold or flu, my sympathies - I have one right now, and always forget how truly miserable they are. Get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids, and remember to frequently wash your hands, both so you don't infect others, and so you don't get a new cold/flu!
If I found one bed bug does that mean there are more?
In my case, there was only one (THANK GOODNESS!!). But it really just depends. Most of the time, if you see one, there are more hiding. Either you see one and it just strayed from the rest or you see one and it's a female with the potential to lay a TON of eggs. On the rare occasion, you'll find a single "hitchhiker" male (which was my case), and you should be okay... This is because they don't have the potential to be carrying eggs, nor will there be a chance for them to reproduce (unless there's another).This link is great for determining what you might be seeing: Chicago Bed Bug Experts In addition, what I didn't know, is that once you catch a bed-bug (if you can), keep it somehow in a sealed container and freeze it... This will kill it, but you'll also be able to show it to pest control for them to help determine whether it really is a bed bug, and also, if it is a female or a male, young or old, fed or unfed, etc. If you see any bed-bugs though, call the exterminator/ pest control right away!!! You technically can check for bed bugs yourself, and what you'll be looking for is nasty little black droppings on the seams of your mattress or underneath your mattress. You'll also want to look for little white-colored eggs around said droppings, or pieces of bug-skin that has been shed... (yes, nasty).... If you check for your own bed bugs, you do risk the chance of "disturbing" the hiding ones, making them hide even more. Which means you'll actually miss seeing them if you aren't a professional, or you ruin a professional's chance of finding them.You cannot determine that you have bedbugs unless you definitely see one though... so, if you've seen one or something like one, I'd call that in ASAP.
As a coder, have you seen anyone get fired, and release a virus or bug in retaliation?
I would strongly suggest that one should never ever do something like that. In addition to showing that the coder is nothing but a criminal, the coder is also likely to go to jail - and rightly so.Coder has the right to accept a job or leave a job; and the company has the right to keep you as an employee or not. It is just a normal thing. If you lose your job, do not blame the company, instead turn that bitterness into positive energy and find another job where a company values what you can offer.
If I get caught cheating on a technical interview, will I be blacklisted from that company forever? A few friends have told me they got through their first round interviews by Googling the question.
At a previous job I did a phone screen of a candidate who answered my questions appropriately. I sent him a coding assignment to see his level of skill in PHP (our programming language at the company at the time), and he sent it back in a few days and it looked great. I called him to arrange on-site interviews, and when he arrived, I told him that we'd be working on his code submission to add a few features or to fix a few bugs. (I like to assess whether someone cares to maintain buggy code or only work on new code) He got a scared look on his face and he fumbled around quite a lot trying to track down where some bugs were.After watching him struggle for several minutes, I asked him if he was the person who wrote the code. He admitted to me that he had a friend write the code. We tried to make progress in adding those features and fixing those bugs, but it was clear that his programming skills and debugging skills were very weak and he was therefore not suitable as a candidate. But first and foremost, he lied to us by submitting code that was not his, and we blacklisted him from ever applying at our company again.If you cheat, it proves that you're a dishonest person, and very few companies will want to risk hiring such a person. If I can’t trust you with something small like an interview test, how could I possibly trust you with important things like customer data?Update: over a million views and 7k votes, wow, thanks for the response! The most common question in the comments below was whether I hired his friend. Of course not, his friend would have been in on the scheme.
