7/11    I currently get paid 93K in SV. I got an offer in NYC doing
        financial app for $130K. Is it a better deal considering a higher
        living standard there?
        \_ 93k?  That's it?  Doing what?
        \- cost of living != living standard. this is going to turn on
        what life style you want to some extent and not "can i live the same
        lifestyle for 35% more money". if you want more $, change jobs in the
        area. --psb
        \_ Also, have you ever lived in New York or spent an extended period
           of time there before?  People tend to be bipolar regarding the
           city-- either they fall in love with it or they hate it.  Who
           cares about the potential raise if you end up hating the city.
           -dans
           \_ Yep. You might end up to be a John Rocker.
                \_ who?
           \_ I agree with dans.  New York is a nice place to visit, but
              I would much rather live in SV than NY.  You should
              definetly spend some time in NY before you accept the job. -emin
              \_ thus demonstrating dans' argument.  i'd rather die than live
                 in silly valley, but i'd kill to live in ny.  with a proper
                 salary that is.  if you're poor its the worst place in the
                 universe.  -lye
        \_ I live in California because I hate NY.  -ex NYer
        \_ Seems like a good deal. Parts of Bay Area are already outgunning
           Manhattan rent-wise. Hate NYC myself though, nasty place. -muchandr

9/20    How do I change my shell? chsh says "Cannot change ID to root."
        \_ /usr/bin/chsh does not have the SUID permission set. Without
           being set, it does not successfully change a user's shell.
