Unity plus xmonad configuration (Ubuntu 12.04)

What

This is my xmonad+unity panel config. With this config, you'll have a well integrated panel from unity but still have xmonad as your window manager with your gnome apps, including the pretty gnome-terminal (for those too lazy to learn xmoobar).

How

Copy and paste these lines (or understand what it does and do it manually).

Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real
