What's the best way for genuine, qualified, informed candidates to distinguish themselves from this rabble?
A genuine, qualified, informed candidate will send a resume that matches the job description to the appropriate HR or Hiring Manager address, with a brief cover letter that accurately outlines why the candidate is both qualified for the job and genuinely wants the job.
I still think her settlement was fair. Fact: the coffee is served at dangerously high temperatures. Fact: coffee at that temperature has caused injuries. Fact: McDonald's knew this was the case. Fact: McDonald's had been in trouble for this before. None of these facts are changed simply because McDonald's put itself in this position to save money. If a company says "we could be safe, or we could make more money", and then promptly injures someone, I have no problem fining them hefty chunks of cash.
Well, if the system recorded Karma earned past 50, it wouldn't really be "capped" at 50, would it? Especially if, as you seem to suggest, you'd actually have to receive additional negative moderation to remove those above-50 points prior to actually losing any of the first 50 points.
Perhaps what you meant to say was that there should be no Karma cap.
Please, Mr. Troll, wake me up when there's a single standard for encoding every language, and everybody complies with it. That would be great!
In the mean time, try not to overlook the fact that there's an abundance of open standards (and open-source applications) for ASCII text, HTML files, and PDF documents--which is Stallman's point, anyway.
And I'll bet there's no law against advocating one convention over another; Stallman's entitled to push for wide adoption of the.info standard--which is undoubtedly open as well.
HTH. HAND.
Next time you do a Google search, try reading the entire text of any of the search results. You'll have "mad-uberGoogle skillz" in no time.
And another thing: try to think of something more orginal to say than "Slashdot should cache webpages". And keep in mind that while "I can't parse text for the word 'cached' even when it's highlighted and underlined" is a fairly unique statement, it probably won't get the editors here to take your complaints seriously. Not that they're going to anyway, but at least you won't look like such an idiot.
This ladies and gentlemen makes perfect sence to me. There are just too many weaknesses in our communication fabric to justify this sort of protection for a simple server that relies of this very fabric.
I imagine that if the thought would occur to someone so prone to grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes, it has probably also occurred to the designers of the facility. I imagine also that they have taken steps to address this issue, and that most of their security is, in fact, not publicy documented.
...if you don't think that school projects are busywork, you haven't worked on interesting enough real-world ones.
Or you haven't worked on interesting enough school projects. And the comment totally ignores the fact that while some real-world projects are "interesting enough", most projects will feel like busywork to the inattentive student or worker. Are you trying to say that someone could come into to your office and get hired by saying, "I know my track record of finishing projects is pretty thin, but it was mostly busy work anyway--oh, and that's also why I haven't completed my college degree."?
I'd rather hire someone that showed a history of willingness to do the work I give them, no matter what it is. If a candidate has documented completion of 3 "really interesting" projects, but shows an inclination to blow off "busywork", then they're useless to me.
Just how much does it cost to 'play' Empire State Building or Panama Canal?
Last time I checked, the "players" of those two "games" were paid to play--not the other way around. Of course, the same could probably be said for most of the Solitaire players out there as well...

Especially as concrete is not much used for building homes. No, this will be used for the ubiquitous downtown office buildings, if at all.

Please, try not to be a complete fucking idiot. Everybody else already has a clue.
When will the Christians of the world wake up and realize that their "moral standards" are seriously fucked up?
Care to share your definitions of "Christians", "moral standards", and "fucked up" with the class? Or am I also feeding a troll, here?

Excuse me?
This is a ludicrous comparison - as far as I can tell there is no legitimate use for a tool designed specifically for DoS attacks.
Maybe you missed the part where the parent post said that studying such tools may provide useful information about how to protect against them.
How is that not a legitimate use for such a tool?
No there isn't.
Well, that makes sense. Thank you! Carry on.

You're new here, aren't you?
Good point. I know a 4th year student who doesn't know C, but watch out his Counter-Strike skills are amazing.
Sigh... when will schools implement the other kind of cheating detector?
Sorry, I think you misspelled "All Europa are belong to us. Take off every zig there."

Better yet, a CIA version of the Google Zeitgeist.

That look of horror was because, at the moment of freezing, the life of the entire Star Wars franchise flashed before Han Solo's eyes.
The Star Wars franchise went into the toilet with their first Muppet.
What, that thing in the trash compactor? "into the toilet" indeed!

Didn't anybody else catch the obvious [Technical Leader] Hugh Barrass==Huge Bareass?
This is clearly a hoax.

Idiot. If I believe that my taxes are being spent on the wrong things, how does me spending even more money on the right things solve that problem?
Answer: It doesn't.
I think you meant to say "lobby your govermnent reps to change how your tax money is spent".
HTH. HAND.
I simply assumed that people on Slashdot are above those biases.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Nice troll!
