If you only care about those basic things, you hire a junior engineer. When you pay 3 to 4 times more for a senior engineer, you do it because the person has significant experience and his achievements show he knows his field probably better than your interviewers.
If you were to hire a worldwide known Linux kernel expert, would you make him take a stupid C programming test?
19.6 is the current maximum VAT rate in France (which is going to increase soon). In any case it's not the highest VAT rate in Europe, which is 25% (Denmark).
Yes. Fortran does not allow to program these at all. Automatic parallelization works slightly better with Fortran, but then good parallelization is a manual process anyway.

I personally discard any company that tests undergraduate-level stuff.
This kind of thing is completely irrelevant to the skills of a senior engineer.
But you're not opening a SSL connection, the Nokia server does, then sends back the result to you.
a hooker might end up cheaper than all this tech.
This is why I personally prefer XDCC.
Unfortunately, scene releases are often served as rars in a tar, which prevents this.
Unfortunately, you still need to remove the body manually.
It already works trivially with Android.
It's just Ubuntu on your phone.
Of course you can plug an external display, just like you can plug an external display on a laptop.
are you implying that wifi networking works well on desktops and laptops?

Americans are funny. 1/3 is still ridiculously low tax.
Fragmented files take more space on the disk than contiguous ones and require more time to manage them.
SSDs might not, but the filesystem does.
You mean $800.
Remember, Europe gets fucked pretty badly when it comes to prices of electronic goods.
What is or isn't in the standard library is completely irrelevant.
I work in supercomputing.
The tools that Fortran has are not satisfying.
For example, to program a modern computer effectively, you need to have control on memory placement. Only low-level programming languages allow this.
Yes. Fortran does not allow to program these at all.
Automatic parallelization works slightly better with Fortran, but then good parallelization is a manual process anyway.
C and C++ are still the best languages for parallelism, in particular vectorization and shared memory systems.
Start-ups love over-qualified people willing to do meager tasks for nothing.
You're suffering from paranoia.
Just get your independent electricity generator if you're that concerned...
Ever heard of averages?
Yes, because the apocalypse is really something you need to prepare for.
How about living in the real world instead?
As a side note, if you want to survive in the apocalypse, you'd better set up a system to have electricity anyway...
Why use renewable energy when you can cut down trees, destroy the native habitats of many species and reduce photosynthesis?
Sure, it's called Amazon.
