I've had the 5th Gen X1 Carbon for a while now, its served me well I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Seems like an odd solution. Can't you just leave a bowl of water out? Does your dog have bladder control issues?

"The Liberals introduced a lottery in 2017 in an effort to make the system fairer – previously, applications were accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The program receives roughly 100,000 applications each year and selects 10,000"

How would you separate desktops and laptops? (Honest question, I'm not sure how you would do that)

I assume the stats are based on usage not a survey.

Yes, however you can do:

Ctrl+V, Ctrl, T

To paste then remove formatting.

Personally I still use notepad or the address bar.

I agree but there's probably a limit on that sentiment.

If you start a family you are likely to become more risk adverse, this would increase again as you approach retirement.

Sorry to hear your woes. Most inter-bank transfers are settled within the hour here. Overnight at most. Hopefully your systems improve.
I live in New Zealand. Everything is done by electronic fund transfers. I have been a renter, now I'm a landlord. I have also run businesses.
Probably the big difference is that I live in New Zealand. We've had good electronic funds transfers systems for a long time.
It amazes me that cheques are still used. I'm 36 and I've never issued a cheque, I think I was issued a cheque book with my first account but never used it.

You seem to have cut out the parts that make it compute. Try reading the words in-between your quotes.

Just the first one that came up, I'm sure there are cheaper options.

Re:Is the open office layout dead? on Sunday August 20, 2017 @08:55PM (#15061160)
The desks can adjust in height. Also everyone is welcome to have a permanent desk if they prefer which can be customized to their desires. People bring their own keyboard.
Re:Is the open office layout dead? on Sunday August 20, 2017 @07:36PM (#15060825)
A large screen typically isn't a problem.

The office I work in has a number of the options mentioned - privacy pods, and a mixture of zoning and some dedicated desks. All the work spaces have nice monitors but you'll need to bring your own ergonomic keyboard and mouse.

I believe its 99% of the growth in digital advertising[1], not all advertising.

I believe the $75k minimum salary is for non-skilled jobs (the point being, if you're in a non-skilled but 'high' paying role we're still interested in you). The minimum salary for skilled jobs is $50k [1][2]

That and I doubt you would find many people working at F&P Healthcare that earn less than $75k.
