I spoke with several employees of Sweet Baby Inc. to learn what the company actually does and how the misunderstanding of its role in the industry highlights a far broader problem.

You don’t know what Sweet Baby Inc. does, but you assume the people complaining about SBI must be incorrect? Do journalists in any other sector of the market fall all over themselves rushing to defend companies like they do in game development?

Well, I’m sure you’re right.

I assume that OP isn’t sleeping with the wrist wearing the watch underneath the pillow their wife has her head on.

Now you’re saying that this group of people believe that value as a person is determined by earnings potential. Those are not the same things.

Security exists between keyboard and chair

In theory

debian in opposition to ubuntu gives you a choice at install
