1. Elon Musk is a would be avant-garde businessman who owns Tesla and SpaceX. SpaceX has a goal of sending human beings to Mars.
2. The old challenge of opening two Excel sheets side by side no longer seems to be challenging at all in Windows 10. You may just have two separate instances open, no worries.

3. The PMP (Project Management Professional) Certification is often sought by... project managers.
4. Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada are three of the major languages and ethnic groups of south India I think. I have a friend who is a Telugu and I asked her if all south Indians were Telugus (thought of Bollywood versus Tollywood) and she came back with this in response. While there are just a handful of major ethnicities in the south, in the north there are so many that if you say I'm a Whatever, it doesn't mean anything to anyone the way saying I'm a Telugu might and so Indians from the north just refer to themselves as Indians while Telugus call themselves Telugus though they are also Indians. In tech, I meet a lot of Indians here on H-1B visas and they seem like pretty awesome human beings. Chill out on curtailing H-1B visas President Trump. You would not have met your wife without them. Malayalam might be a fourth major flavor of the south.

Herein average Joe could own a computer for his home for the first time. The computers weren't just huge things that corporations only owned.

92. WebStorm will put squiggly red lines under file names in the Project pane where your TypeScript cannot compile.
