Often true, but I think it's only part of it. If you read about the history of Office 97 development, it was a truly remarkable amount of work which went into it. Every feature, even the tiniest, was user-tested for many hours, testers

No, it's not so simple at all, but the benefit over commercial software is that I usually have choices, whereas with Windows and Apple, I've had the rug pulled out from under me with no recourse on multiple occasions. I am blessed

As I mentioned, they've profited me by supporting the content creators and teaching me about Web design techniques. I was also surprised to find out that many of them are not tested well, and return errors on first or second click.

I,ve made a point of clicking every single one, and sometimes ,,signing up,, for the ,,wealth builder,, webinars. I think of it as paying the creators while also studying landing page UX.

As mentioned, I've not found a good accessible podcast or YouTube video on the matter, so maybe that means it's up to me to make one. It's not my forte, so I don't know when that will happen. However, here's an expe

I am familiar with the contest, and I think it is about as winnable as getting a claim paid on the cheapest insurance policy. It's designed to promote an agenda the contest designer is strongly attached to, not as a truth-seeking devic

We think we have it so hard with our 9-5 jobs and 2 weeks vacation. Meanwhile, atoms have been working without as much as a fucking smoke break for literally billions of years! >_<

The other day I was riding the train and a guy called me an idiot. Are you also interested in knowing how I responded to his claim? why did you choose to post that particular review out of all the others? why not, for example, this one? &qu
