Some companies only want "yes-men" (yes people). Often the big box retail companies.
The personality test for big box stores can be failed. Yes, fail a personality test. And it isn't even weeding out those that are too extreme, etc. Many such tests have only one right answer for each question! (the one that means you are a happy outgoing sycophant who is very sociable and will never question anything!) Everything else is wrong. Too many wrongs and you are discarded without even being seen, the hiring manager has no knowledge or access to your app. Borderline "wrong" people are only considered if no "perfect/nearly perfect" people otherwise qualify.
They have a Green (good), Yellow (hire only if no green available and Red (do not hire under any circumstances, application discarded and person banned from being considered on a reapplication for 6 months or for life - a throw away person).
Have a Facebook account, put what you want, if they ask to see it and don't hire you because of what's on it you don't want to work their anyway.
Bonus: if anything in your account reveals you are in a (civil rights) protected class, you can claim that is why you weren't hired and have grounds to sue.
I've gotten copies of the Las Vegas Review Journal delivered even when not a subscriber (on a couple of occasions).
Too bad that paper has become so right-wing it is unbearable to read. Just look at their online site and how they keep bashing the Las Vegas Monorail. It was a really good paper before.
And WTF is with Firefox spell check, highlighting the "Las" in "Las Vegas" and "WTF" as spelling errors.
Google should pull any paywalled sites from their feed on Google News.
I don't want to get sent to a pay site, when there are free sites available.
And Google needs to crack down on those journals (mainly medical) giving Google full copies of articles so that they get search traffic and give people a paywall.
That is against Google rules and I report it and suggest others do. (now I just block the sites from my Google search usually)
They call it novel so they can justify patenting it.
Like if I wanted to re-invent the wheel:
"A novel transportation facilitation device consisting of a round object on an axle to reduce friction and optionally provide a driving force to move the object the axle is attached to."
You'd need the word "novel" to get it past the patent office.
Well I heard that if it is malicious, even a true statement means you have to pay damages? May not actually be called libel or defamation, I'm not sure, but you still lose.
Even your sources say guilty until proven innocent. If the court ends up not sure if the statement is true or false, defendant loses. In the US, the plaintiff loses.
And how often are ASBOs rejected. About as often as the USA FISA court rejects a wiretap request, i.e. almost never!
People here abuse "Troll" and "Flamebait" so much that I've made "Troll" act as +1 and "Flamebait" as +6 to counteract people suppressing posts due to ideological reasons.
Surprisingly that doesn't cause too much garbage to show up and what there is is well worth the unhiding of unpopular ideas.
Much like a person may 'manage' if their leg gets blown off but it's a bit of a stretch to claim they wouldn't be better off if the accident hadn't happened.
You should be glad your leg was blown off. Look how much weight you lost!
And if they keep the kids in foster care long enough, that is enough alone to have a termination of parental rights (*) granted (the judge is REQUIRED to grant it unless there are extreme justifications not to) and the children put up for adoption.
(*) This declares the parents to legally not be parents in any way whatsoever, no rights to visit or even contest the adoption, since they are no longer parents and thus not allowable "parties to an action" involving the children.
The Tazer bit's easy to explain, and standard protocol: Drug labs (specifically meth labs) produce fumes that make the cooks unpredictable, paranoid, and often more concerned with escape than self-preservation.
Aren't they flammable? A Taser could set off an explosion! High voltage sparks are good at that (that is how a spark plug works).
The lab equipment is also everything except a stove needed to cook precursor compounds. Methamphetamine recipes, if my memory serves me, basically consist of "throw stuff in a pan in measured amounts, and boil off the bad parts. Sell what's left."
And if the customer was under investigation for it, you just destroyed evidence!
Expect a sentence of multiple YEARS in prison!
And if it is Federal, there is no parole, you are required to serve your entire sentence (minus a couple of weeks for "good time" if the prison staff likes you)
"I feel like I am guilty until proven innocent. That is not the way I understood the British justice system to work.
That is exactly how it works over there!
That is the same country where you can get ordered to pay damages for libel for making TRUE statements. The same country where if you trespass in a subway, you can be ordered (via an Anti Social Behavior Order) to not even talk to the people you were with or GET 5 YEARS IN PRISON! Yes, 5 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE LOCKED AWAY! For talking to people - for activity that would otherwise be legal except for the fact that the gov't for an order than amounts to a "bill of attainder" (a law restricting only you). The same country that has cameras on every street corner to use against you and controllers who will shout at you with loudspeakers if they even THINK you are THINKING of doing something illegal or that they don't like, such as being in a group of more than 10 people. The country that will revoke your drivers license if anyone tells the licensing authorities you might not be in perfect health. The country that is as close to George Orwell's 1984 in the civilized world.
Yes, the US has its problems, but the UK is plain scary!

This is part of the suppression of faster than light particles and anything that contradicts Einstein.
First they say it is an equipment malfunction and now they take this persons job and likely make it so he'll forever be denied jobs and funding.
He's lucky he isn't dead.
And freedom of speech certainly does NOT mean freedom from any consequences at all.
Free speech is meaningless if you go to jail for it.
Also, it isn't just 56 days without freedom, he is very likely to get beaten up and raped (*) while in there.
56 days of hell.
(*) Yes, that DOES happen in the UK not just the USA.

Other solution.

Bonus: if anything in your account reveals you are in a (civil rights) protected class, you can claim that is why you weren't hired and have grounds to sue.
Still do in some cases.

I believe Walgreens automatically checks.
They also have an online interaction checker on the web.

Let's go create an x86 CPU in Wireworld.
Then get laid off since there is no need for IT maintenance.

Way too risky (*), especially considering one can get the same result just by claiming the husband beat her and/or cheated on her.
(*) Because she could end up getting burned too.
Some laws exist to limit other laws, so that might make things worse if you repeal the wrong ones.
Having every law have an expiration date might work better.
Only important laws would have time to get renewed and no one would have to repeal a bad law, just let it lapse.

It's all bad parts.

So he reported his own child pornography to the police?
Well here is a case of a guy calling the cops about her crack being fake. (it was real btw)

The term you want to use is "police officer" or "law enforcement officer", or even "pig" if you hate them, but not "policeman"!
It's 2012 for crying out loud!
1. AMD CPU bug
2. AMD divesting from its fab
3. Intel pulling even MORE ahead on performance and even lowering power usage at the same time!
Not to mention AMD's financial troubles and the fact they have a tendency to burn up.
