harassing somebody or making a jewish joke in front of somebody named Cohen

If you are so foolish to accept the mission you'll get issued a bottom-of-the-
line "business" laptop from Dell which is a hand-me-down from a salesman who
couldn't sell anything. You'll find the servers are bursting at the seams even
though the system isn't in production yet. And then you'll find that your team
has smashed Lucene 3.6 in ways that devastate performance and that are very
hard to maintain. You can't get a straight answer from the lead developer as
to how to build the system, never mind anything else.

Now Lucene 4 uses half the memory of Lucene 3 because it avoids the UCS-16
tax. Many operations are sped up up to hundreds of times. The code base is
easier to work with and wouldn't have required to have the violence done
against it that had been done against Lucene 3.

If search performance matters, they'll get smoked by a competitor who uses
Lucene 4, so I feel it is malpractice to work on Lucene 3 projects.

Interesting title: _small-town life may mean big money_.

Plano is anything but a small town, at least by the American perspective. It
is the quintessential suburb of a top-ten city, and thoroughly enmeshed in the
metropolitan area. Only someone from one of the top five cities could think of
Plano as a "small town". Consider the 5A high-schools: my brother graduated
from Plano Senior High School in 1984 in a class of 1200. I hear they are even
bigger now. That school is not the only one at that scale, and it would be
considered 6A in some states.

Having said that, I think Plano is one of the 3 cities in the Dallas Metro
