Try Duolingo.com, which has "Tips and Notes" for some lessons.

For the first German lesson, these are on capitalising nouns, grammatical gender, umlauts and verb conjugation.

I wish they'd add it to the app!

I found a handy calculator here: http://ie.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php

There's a UK one here, if you'd like to compare: http://listentotaxman.com/

(Both are very simple, it's 10 seconds to fill in the form.)

Because .UK only allowed registrations at the third level for decades, i.e. example.co.uk, example.ac.uk etc. I think it's also the most-used CCTLD.

Then they introduced second level domains, but they're still rarely used at present. ebay.uk and google.uk are registered, but don't do anything yet.

    Error for "com.uk".

    This domain cannot be registered because it contravenes the Nominet UK
    naming rules.  The reason is:
      third-level domains may not be identical to a top-level domain.

But edu.uk is available for the owner of edu.co.uk.

Other 2-3 letter domains seem to have been squatted (I tried several ISO codes and some newer generic TLDs).

Even where it isn't ubiquitous (outside the US), unusual domains confuse plenty of non-technical users.

I own <surname>.me.uk, and it took years for relatives and others to stop querying me if I gave them my email address. "You mean, .me.uk.com?" ".me.co.uk?" "That's <name>@me.uk?".

Having said that, I've seen .travel and .jobs on big advertisements, so it's just a matter of time.

> We've been able to separate our work from his group, but it's unbelievably aggravating that he's still getting paid.

How common is this?

I had a similar situation. I didn't challenge the developer directly, but when asked to justify why our project was falling behind I sent a summary of the VCS log to my manager. The developer hadn't committed anything in five years! Management promised to sort things out, but it's over a year and she's still employed.

Throwaway account, because this is one of the reasons I won't be employed there much longer...
