Surely smells like bs. You can't find decent developers? In THIS economy?
A few things to check: - are your expectations realistic, or are you looking for PhD with tons of experience while advertising for recent grad to "save some money"? - are you paying above $10-$15/hr or whatever minimally decent rate is in your area? - do you provide a semi-decent work environment: hardware, software, atmosphere? - are you running a sweatshop (be honest)?
Your attitude is disgusting. I hope that your "company" never finds those hypothetical employees and quietly folds like it should.

Like all statistical data from China, this info is likely inflated and cannot be trusted. Chinese culture considers cheating to be fine and a smart thing to do. Multiply that by the Chinese government's desire to improve its image at any cost, and you get useless numbers which have been wildly twisted to provide the desired result. It appears that this time they tried to reach that magical psychological barrier of "Half a Billion".

It's a submission ritual. By asking you a silly question and evaluating your answer, they judge how much you are willing to play by the rules, no matter how ridiculous.
So, once again, we have a lottery winner brag and advice everyone to play. This might sound insensitive, good for you that it worked out, but it was not because you were "good", and other people may be much less lucky. Given the way most companies treat employees nowadays, if, God forbid, they get a wind of you looking for another position, through either posting your resume on the jobs site, or just expressing your interest on social network or privately, you will be on their shitlist and be dropped like hot potato at first opportunity. So you may very well end up without a job in the middle of a depression. Not an enviable place to be in. A better advice might be to stick it out until (if?) the economy picks up significantly.

Dear Corporations, "Investors", and CEOs,
Please do not hesitate to keep offshoring every bit of information and technology to the third world. The things you've seen so far are mosquito bites compared to the crap that will hit the fan if you keep "enhancing profits" for another decade or even less.
Respectfully, Software Developer, a.k.a. the guy who actually has to work for a living.
For your random attack on being overweight, F@K YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. You are a moron who knows not about health conditions and issues that could lead to extra weight. Go hang yourself before someone else puts you out of your misery, f@ckface!
Technically true, but he would get inferior experience by observing the country without the "Retina Display". Also, the "Send economy down the drain" one-click functionality would be missing as it's patented by Apple.
It's a terrible idea. Not only because it allows companies hurt the poor, but also because it gives them the power to shape their customers' behavior. If companies push such policies far enough, you will see things such as "good service fee" where you can pay say $20 for good customer service or $0 for crappy/no service. As history shows, many people choose cheapest option regardless, so soon enough you will see customer service disappear for most people. This is just one example why allowing companies to even think about shaping customers' behavior is bad.
Keep living that complacent pipe dream. I think that without a major popular movement upsetting the status quo, the things will be stuck at their present state for decades. The 1% or whatever got the rest of the population exactly where they want them. Poor, desperate for jobs, overworked, clinging to dead-end low paying jobs, brainwashed by mass media, not questioning why a tiny minority "owns" (stole) major part of society wealth. Unless something is done, this could end up the new world order for a few centuries.
What is moronic is stubbornly clinging to failed, inhumane "free market solves everything", dog eat dog ideology and resisting any attempt to soften its blows.
1913 - the end of Reconstruction(1877) = 36 So your imaginary capitalist paradise lasted for only 36 years? Soviet Socialism thrived from 1917 until 1991, SEVENTY FOUR years, more than twice that long. Sounds like socialism is much more practical.
Also, that capitalist paradise period happens to coincide with infamous Gilded Age, the worst workers' nightmare in recent history. I'd venture to guess that most working citizens of the U.S. (bankers, politicians, etc. naturally excluded) would rather not go backwards to child labor, 16-hour work days, "company towns" and the rest of the beauty unfettered capitalist has to offer.
Oh, are you angry in the poor dying US of A? Poor boy. Sucks to take it up the ass from a country ruined 65 years ago. If your "businessmen" didn't sell the country to China, it might have been better, but... Free trade... Can't stop that factory from being shipped to China... Hell no. Saying "Stop this BS" would be against the free-for-all looting. NO. We are free country. Free to loot. Free to offshore. Free to collapse...
You thought correctly. Their "ways" are a cheap publicity stunt that is not going to solve anything. Since they are capable of fraud with the food you actually put in your body, nothing stops them from committing fraud by issuing fake DNA certificates. Enjoy your free-market-solves-everything cool-aid with that fake seafood.
>> The park is private property...... which is required by law to be available to the public and for which owners receive public funds. As another person explained above:
"This 'private property' is required to be open to the PUBLIC, 24/7. An agreement between the developer and the City lays these terms out - the developer was permitted to exceed the maximum height of a structure as defined in CITY ORDINANCES by creating and maintaining A PUBLIC PARK."

The fact remains that Gore won in Florida and the supreme kangaroo court stuffed by right-wingers gave the U.S. presidency to Bush like it was a lost hat. You can try spinning the 2000 right coup all you want. Some right-wing pundits did it much better than your lame attempt.
These same private companies have been sourcing to the cheapest possible labor for years: technical support, customer support, quality assurance, and increasingly developers. None of these have been mandated by the government. Anti-government fanatics are funny. They see âoegubermuntâ even where there is none. They cannot possibly comprehend that in the face of gigantic, immoral, ruthless international corporations, national government is pretty much the only force that can protect average citizens.
I have great respect to mathematics. Itâ(TM)s one of the few disciplines left were bs doesnâ(TM)t fly (for long), unlike, for example, economics and political science.
This is a cheap publicity stunt, nothing more. Mathematics is not dancing with the stars or what not. This is a serious scientific problem a century and a half old. If you make a mistake in your âoeproofâ, the public wonâ(TM)t be able to notice.

The proper way to do this is to publish your proof in a peer-reviewed journal and wait to see if other mathematicians find a flaw in your argument.

Peacefully? In your dreams. Tea baggers are terrorists because they use scare tactics to get their way. Take health care town hall meetings of 2008. Retired tea baggers with drugged, crazy eyes yelling "Government hands off of my Medicare" and lunging at congressmen and opponents with their fists. Using these imbecile but scary tactics they managed to force many seniors to oppose health care reform even though most of those seniors already use government-provided Medicare.
Want another one? Debt ceiling âoecrisisâ, entirely manufactured by tea bagger faction. This was non-issue for decades, extended automatically. This year, tea baggers yelled hysterically for months about âoecountry going bankruptâ, âoedollar becoming worthlessâ and similar utter nonsense to scare many people into opposing raising the limit, which was tea bagger goal for ideological reasons.
Thus, tea baggers use scare tactics to reach their political goals. That, by definition, means they are terrorists.
I disagree with applying this law to hackers, but I have been saying for a while that Wall Street should have been tried under RICO Act. That would allow to put at least half of the scum in jail, along with confiscation of property. Some justice would have been served.
