I've owned an Outback and an XC70. I vastly preferred the latter, despite the cost. It could hold an amazing amount of stuff (partially due to the more boxy rear with fewer protrusions), far more than the Outback. The XC70 was also a

Correct, the pipeline is one of the biggest problems to solve, IMHO. When I actually looked at metrics, the makeup of my org was actually a fairly accurate representation of the pipeline as a whole, which was very encouraging. It was an in

What kind of Engineering do you do? Depending on your degree, a legal career might be possible. When I'd started college a long time ago, I couldn't decide between Computer Science or pursuing a legal career. I went with CS, I di
