Many DOJ attorneys resigned from this case in protest Wouldn't this give Barr the opportunity to bring in people who always agree with him and make the situation worse? Not just this case against Google, but in general.

Why use FB at all? I understand they have the audience, but if they treat you so poorly to the point of bankruptcy, what is the point? Aren't you encouraging bad behaviour by sticking with them?

This makes me soooooooo mad. Instead of LAMP, I spelled out Linux/Apache... etc in my resume. One recruiter spent 10 minutes arguing with me that LAMP is not the same as Linux... Why do they deserve 50% of the billing rate (they can&#x

Or educate users to pay for quality and make quality websites/products so we don't have to depend on advertising. This would be insanely difficult to pull off, but it is at least worth a try. The incumbents have trained users to e

Thank you. I really want a AMD laptop, but they don't seem to have good displays. If I am to stare at the screen 10+ hours a day, I'd like a good screen. Do you like the display?

I understand it is good for programming. Can it handle video editing? I am trying to decide between T14 and P1, which is almost twice the price as T14. Any review will be helpful.

I recently tried TDD. It was fun for a while, but it took too much time writing tests for mundane things. I am not convinced about 100% coverage etc. For me the biggest takeaway was the way I was organizing my code. I work on a 15 year old
