The company I work at right now originally wanted me to come on as contract before hiring me fulltime. I politely declined.
My justification to where I work now is that I wouldn't quit my current full-time place of work for a contract job that MAY or MAY NOT pan out. I was in a fairly stable situation at my old job, and did not want the extra uncertainty of moving to a contract position, even if they promised it was only temporary.
The other little tidbit about my job was that they wanted to start me off on a lower salary, and then move me up to the amount promised if "things went well." I declined that as well, and told them that if they weren't happy with the work I was doing, to simply get rid of me after three months.
Go to a job interview confident. Tell them what you know. Be technical. But most importantly, do not give them the impression that you need to work for them. I cannot stress that enough. Do not be trampled on just because you want a job.
The other little thing they forget to mention is that as a contractor, they usually don't take taxes out. Which means, you're paying all of Social Security, which amounts to more taxes at the end of the year.
About RSA:
Current hardware means key lengths should be 1024 bits for complete security. The present generation of web browsers use 128-bit keys so cannot be considered secure against a determined and sufficiently well-resourced attack.
Certificates are 1024 or 2048 bit with SSL. On the other hand, once the key is sent and shared, a 128 bit symmetric form of encryption is used. The only thing RSA is used for is sending / receiving the symmetric encryption key, yes?

I read this a while back from an earlier post, but you can fix the rendering problems on slashdot easily by pressing CTRL-+ and then CTRL-- (control and plus, control and minus). When resizing the text, slashdot is rendered properly.
In any case, cool plugin:). The slashdot bug will be fixed in the next release, though.
Dr. Weird: Gentlemen... I bring you... MORE CORN!!!
Steve: Yeah, umm. I don't know man... after last time...
Dr. Weird: This time... SHALL BE DIFFERENT... BWAHAHHAHAHAHAH!
Steve: Well alright, cause I am hungry again.
(Corn fly towards Steve, stabbing through him)
Dr. Weird: It's not different at all, is it Steve! HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!

Oh come on... If Slashdot was short of stories, the editors would have done the most logical thing that comes to mind: deliberately dupe some of the old stories.
The thing about the Electoral College is that it mandates that the voice of one person living in a smaller state has a greater voice than one living in a larger state.
Is that really right? Are you more of an American because you live in Alaska or Idaho than if you live in California?
In Pittsburgh, fliers were handed out on what looked like county letterhead that claimed voting had been extended an extra day "due to immense voter turnout expected on Tuesday." The fliers said Republicans should vote on Tuesday and Democrats should vote on Wednesday.
I really don't understand why people are like this. I personally think that it's more important that this country upholds its democracy, regardless of who wins today.
He's saying that the Ba'ath party was NOT the party of radical islamists. It was about as close to a secular party as one could get within the middle east.
Funny to say, Hussein was oppressing the country's religious right: The type of Islamic Fundamentalists that are more interested in killing Americans.

Id software MAY get attention here because they happen to open source their legacy code from time to time.
Of course, the fact you had to mention your post as such makes it definately redundant.
Please provide links / information to this. Interesting.

Are there any plans for the Tetris Movie coming out soon?
If so, do you get royalties for it?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

So umm, how many electoral votes does our representative Jesus get?

The listing of "Dirty Tricks" is astonishing. To quote one portion of what's on the page:

Umm, Netcraft? They're good at predicting these things ;)
Tell me kind sir, when IS dealing an individual fifty-plus blows considered appropriate, context included?
