Agree 100%. Worthy of an ex-fighter pilot. (As long as he doesn't dive off NY skyscrapers and try to fight crime. Maybe do aerial traffic reports, but then he'd still move faster than anybody.)
Tap onto his other skills then. If he can read code, so much the better. "Listen, we need a guy to jump right in and document all that we've been working on here. I'm glad you came in when you did. You can hit the ground running compared to the last guy." It sort of puts him in his place for acing all the questions, with a dash of tact thrown in for good measure. What he does next determines his future in your company.
1-OMG Sure! I'll get right on it! (He sees it for what it really is, and is eager to thank the gods on this twist of fate. This would make him ideal to face or work with users or deal with customers) 2-He flounders and stalls (Watch him dig into this hole and sweat his way out; gets you off the hook because he will wind up over comitting himself, albeit at great risk to the project.) Give him a quick test like, would you be able to code a DVD player app with what we have. (just an example, could be something that ought to take a page of code or so.) You'd then be forcing his hand to make some sort of admission 3-He might use it as an out e.g. I've found another opportunity someplace else and I'm taking it. 4-You find out he's armed. Just kidding, to see if you were reading through this.
Should the editors refrain from posting their opinion in TFS?
Remain neutral, guys, despite your sentiments, else I would relegate this to 'yet just another blog site'. If you must, post a pro- and a con-, but really it shouldn't be your pro or your con. Post a comment in the discussion instead, and we won't mod you redundant.
As a local living in that area, who would you call to report his location and collect your reward? Do you call the police, and hope whoever you talk to is not corrupt?

I wouldn't want to visit those factories that make them. Tho 'tis rumored, that the fumes emanating from their smokestacks are so strong, that the females in the vicinity tend to shed off their clothes, and their inhibitions, and for the weaker of the species, their control, as they lunge at the nearest male, with intent to mate with wanton abandon...
Why did it choose to mention who is number Four, as opposed to, say, number 26 on the charts? Why not say "US leads in Internet Freedom"? Is there a private conversation here that/.'ers aren't seeing? Or do I need my morning coffee?
"Yes. When you read the headline and it says, so and so is number four, it means, We attack at dawn. If it says, so and so leads in freedom, that's the signal to Abort the mission. If it mentions Estonia in the headline, that simply means His Highness prefers pepperoni, hold off and we'll decide tomorrow.
I use Rotate arbitrary once in a while. Anyone know where it went?
Right now. whether layer or background, the only thing I can do is rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise 90 degrees, and nothing in between. Wherefore art thou, O rotate arbitrary?

Dammit, how did Assange manage to get TWO women, I only got one, and it's the housemaid for Pete's sake...
The light that burns twice as bright burns for half as long and you have burned so very, very brightly.
Gentlemen, what we have just witnessed is the power of the /. effect.
The next day a cure for cancer will be found.
From a guy that sorely misses his online Vegas Texas hold-em.
If we make it, by the time we get there, we'll be a whole new species.
You mean if we ever get there. Somehow I think the male of the species will flat-out refuse to even ask for directions, evolution shmevolution.
Of course, /. is open in a text-mode browser, so it looks like seeerious code work on the console.
So everybody can forget about asking for the photos of ... of ...
Who had porn?
bring a homemade flamethrower, point it in THEIR direction. Problem solved.
You have to be specific; there's no telling what kind of crowd reads this stuff.

but we have 2 of these screens for primate research
So who's the other lucky primate?
D'oh! My bad!

But you get the point.
Buckaroo Banzai can hear the sound of someone crying within the same room while guitar amps and drums are going full blast?

Well, it did say that Tom Tom was shocked, shocked.

This sounds like a job for Cable Guy!

Synergy to control from my laptop while sitting on the coach.
Thought you meant sitting in coach, and had to double check, I was thinking, that's a helluva remote you have there.

Wait till you see what happens when I issue the command ENHANCE, 10x

Now why did you have to go and say that? Don't you know they hate it when you tell them what they're supposed to do?
Wouldn't be surprised if the robot uprising took place tonight. At least, I know who pushed them over the edge.
