Except that, by definition, only one player can be "the best pizza maker in the world". So what happens when thousands of people play pizza makers?
And spending my recreation time doing something that "higher level players found boring" doesn't seem like a great idea to me. I'd rather spend it doing something not boring thanks all the same.
See ultima online for what happens with that model of gameplay.

5.5 would be average.
But it's a video game, everyone knows that video game reviews use the following scale:
1/10: Dear god, my eyes, it burns, and is made by a small company. 2/10: It burns, but they did give me the game. 3/10: It burns, but they did include some trinkets. 4/10: It burns, but they included cash money. 5/10: It burns, but it's a big company and I want them to send me more games to review later. 6/10: Game Sucks 7/10: Game is Below average 8/10: Game is Average 9/10: Who cares about the game, the hype is great. 10/10: Look at all the hype and advertising, this game must rule.
Once we really do have too many humans for the food supply those humans will go to war over food and kill large numbers of each other. And then we don't have too many humans anymore.
But fell free to kill yourself for the good of humanity if you really think you and your offspring (and their offspring) are going to petri dish the earth.
You sell insurance because the thing insured against won't happen to enough of your customers that you'll manage to cover those to whom it does (and make a profit).
You don't sell flood insurance to those living in below sea level coastal flood plains in a hurricane zone. You don't sell health insurance to people who already have cancer. You don't sell life insurance to people who are already dead.
I would always do a reverse lookup before I banned an IP.
What if it me my IP and someone was playing games with the logs? What if it was the proxy server for "the big high paying client we are bending over backwards for right now"?
Of course if it turned out to be from a school the reaction would be "damn kids" and it would be silently added to the block list.
Now that isn't what happened here, he saw the IP on the comment and decided to investigate. And then do the completely ridiculous.
But I've done a reverse DNS on every IP I've added to or removed from out firewalls, other than the ones I know since I see them so often.
What are they going to do with the information. Deny him security clearance?
Reverse lookup of an IP isn't a stretch at all - it would be a normal thing to do before banning it. If it's the [INSERT BIG ISP] regional proxy server you might want to work out a different way to block that one person. Of course idiot journalist who think that article is good journalism shouldn't be touching the computers anyway -he'll block 0.0.0.0/0 at some point...

Since peristence and endurance are likely traits you want favouring those with the Masters might be a reasonable choice.
Yes, a particular person with a Masters might be worse a particular person without one. But you are trying to cull the field and all methods of doing that (well other than an exhaustive interview process I guess - though of course interviews are far from perfect themselves) are imperfect.
Ability to cheat might or might not be a positive thing...
But fundamentally getting a degree is a simple matter of applying oneself - they are not amazingly difficult or anything like that. And that is one quality you want in an employee.

Since the first thing I do with all my emails is save the text and run it as a binary executable.
Or just ship it in a commercial container and detonate the thing in the port of Los Angeles, it's not like it's remote.

You included 0, so yes 5. and:
0/10: The installation formatted my hard drive.
5.5 would be average.

4/10: It burns, but they included cash money.
5/10: It burns, but it's a big company and I want them to send me more games to review later.
6/10: Game Sucks
7/10: Game is Below average
8/10: Game is Average
9/10: Who cares about the game, the hype is great.
10/10: Look at all the hype and advertising, this game must rule.
learn how to parse, slavery was not referring to the fish.
It's a self correcting problem.

Because a 1TB drive that costs $3300 is aimed at "most desktop users".

The bank wouldn't let them have a HELOC, so they could only afford one. So blame the "credit crunch".
Maybe you should learn what the Bill of Rights is before declaring what "you guys have".
I have that checkbox, they must have a very low definition of "contributed". Trolls in the comments seems to make the cut.
That I am. I should sue my employer before he goes bust for making me so!
No, they're about to go bankrupt. Not sure why.
Those people can hope they find a potential employer who doesn't care about the degree.
And life long debt and slavery is a US thing, the last time I paid for my university education it was $84 for the year's fee.
I sit in a chair and do nothing for 80% of the day and I get a salary not a wage.
It's in Egypt, not exactly renowned world wide as the pinnacle of liberty.
Do you know what the word "public" means?
Can you see how it makes that irrelevant?
Electricians (median $22.32/hour - http://www.bls.gov/oes/2008/may/oes472111.htm) earn more than secretaries (median $14.41/hour http://www.bls.gov/oes/2008/may/oes436014.htm).
Sure if you use your own made up definition of white collar and blue collar.
The term "white collar" was coined in reference to clerks, which don't need certification and approval and have no legal status.
A blue collar worker usually does manual labor and earns a wage, two things none of the developers I know do/get.
