I'm not arguing for/against WGU. My argument is that ABET accreditation isn't relevant to how "good" a CS program is. It does establish a minimum baseline, but lacking it just means you have to determine the program

ABET accreditation doesn't mean much for CS however. For example, none of these schools are ABET accredited for CS: - UC Berkeley - CMU - Stanford - Cornell - University of Washington - Caltech - Princeton https://amspub.abe

Can't it be both? On balance, I'd expect Google is be much better about maintaining their DNS uptime than most ISPs.

At its core, that's a fully accurate description albeit a misleading one (along the lines of claiming that central AC is just window AC but without something sticking out of your window). As it turns out, UX matters and Slack delivers

On a desktop, power consumption doesn't really matter. But on a laptop, it matters a ton. Personally I prefer doing work from my couch rather than my desk; ergonomics and external monitors be damned.
