  1. Google deserves to die... on Does Bing Have Google Running Scared? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...because they treat people "outside" from their shiny world like sh*t...I had an on-site interview a few months ago, in one of their European offices, for a technical position...After some days of waiting, they sent me an e-mail, telling me that I wasn't chosen, but without any detailed or convincing explanation... Thus, I sent 5 e-mails in 2 months, to 3 different people, among the ones who interviewed me, asking for more feedback, but never received any answer... For me this is simple rude behaviour, and lack of respect for people...

  2. Do you know a good software for PDF highlighting? on PDF Vulnerability Now Exploitable With No Clicking · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Right now I have to use Adobe Acrobat Professional, because I have a TabletPC, and need from time to time to highlight, or annotate, PDFs. Do you know a better alternative? Thanks a lot

  3. I have a similar problem... on How Will Recent Financial Downturns Affect IT Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Hi, I have a similar problem. In a few month I'm going to take my MSc. in CS from a 3-tier Italian University. Now, I'm quite good in the fields I've chosen (Computer Security and anonymity protocols), and I've done an internship in a big IT corporation in Switzerland, so luckily I stand a bit out of the crowd. But I still have to compensate the fact that I'm graduating from a not well-known university. I don't want to remain in Italy, because it's a crappy country. For a series of reasons (family, bad advices from former friends, lack of entrapreneurness) I did not go to study in some better University, despite the fact that I wanted. So, I was thinking, after graduation, to go to Germany to study German for a few weeks (I already can read it to a basic level, but I need to improve my existing knowledge, expecially in speaking and listening), and then spend the summer in China, South Korea or Japan to learn Chinese, Japanese or Korean (which I don't know neither a word). I can financially afford this: In the latest years I saved some money, mainly because I still live with my parents, and I've not had the opportunity to travel a lot (for the same reasons as before...but that will change soon). But, is it worth it, expecially the trip to Asia? Would this really boost my resume? Maybe it's better to learn Russian? Thanks a lot
