In 1/2 hour, improve on both Sun and O'Reilly, and do it off the cuff.
Seriously, who wouldn't hire such a person who could pull that off?
Read it, sure. Explain it, no problem. The web fragment may or may not be a problem. But improve something that has been vetted, proof read, and tested several times over?
Here sir, is my masters thesis, and by the way fire the above poster for not being able to think about even the most rudimentary solution to a simple problem.
...that you have contributed to. Specify what work is yours, what is not. Be very clear on this point.
Do not give directions on how to download the code. Just the URL. It doesn't have to be some big open source project - it could even be hosted on your personal box.
If someone there actually sees your work without asking for directions, only then would you want to consider working there (or even taking the time to interview.)
>>There is no "neglect" about it. It is not at all clear that Gates had that legal right at the time; in a sense, Gates helped establish that right, to the deteriment of us all, according to Stallman's reading.
Yet another fails to grasp the fundemental concept that free software and free beer are not the same.
However, what you are attempting is overkill. You could achieve the same results with business class service, and probably cheaper (than say Comcast + Verizon DSL).
That area of the mid Atlantic (NJ-DE-MD-VA) is not prone to hurricanes (although they have been hit). When one comes north they usually hit NC, or weaken over the colder water and hit Long Island.
What vehicles get 8mpg? Also, gasoline hasn't been that cheap here in almost a decade.
As for the Chinese - what the hell is their problem? They have no installed base, they have no infrastructure, they have no "Big Oil" running the place, just a totalitarian government that says what goes.... so why are they choosing to go the route of an oil based economy? America, as you said, based its current economy on gas burning cars decades ago when oil was cheap and nobody was the wiser. Once that economy was established that was it - good luck changing it.
China KNOWS that oils is scarce, expensive, dirty, and unstable... yet instead of deploying alternate fueled cars from the beginning, they jump right in to the oil fray. Gas stations, oil piplines, refineries. None of the is built - there is no motiviation to protect that investment (however they are are building them as fast as their little yellow hands can). Families don;t have to dump an expensive car for an even more expensive electric one. What the hell are they thinking? Fools.
Americans can claim that they didn't know any better when we painted ourselves into a corner years ago - China and India can't claim the same. They know it is bad and are doing it anyway. Where is the outcry over that?
I would be bitter too if my government taxed the living hell out of me simply for the privledge of moving about. England for example is a tiny nation, miniscule. Solutions that work there will not work in the US where distances are much vaster. (Same goes for Canada, ironically Canadians have the same gas guzzling tendencies as Americans but Canada gets a pass simply because they have a tiny population). Europeans too - counted together Europe consumes 3/4 the amount of oil that the US does. Not a very oil frugal society by any means.
Last time they tried that the damn thing shut off its engines 100 feet... er meters... er feet... whichever one it was anyway, above the surface and crashed.

Don't inject logic into this, you.

Two months of working in a CMMI Level 3 shop will cure you of that attitude mister.
>> I would never expect someone to provide me samples from a previous job. That seems tasteless to ask for or provide.
Not to mention probably illegal. And consider that YOUR code will be flashed to the next hiring manager when that someone decides to move on.

>> It is very unlikely that 2000 homes will be operating their microwave at the same time
Like around dinner time perhaps? But you are right - the number would be more like 200,000.

Says it kills many types of influenza (herpes too, just in case you are posting from Las Vegas).
Just me and my chickens, god love em.
Just throttle ALL traffic from ip adresses that you consider "excessive."
Very easy repetitive tasks? Just a guess.

I actually studied in college, and enjoyed doing so. Well most of it, anyway.
Apply yourself - you'd be amazed at what you are capable of.
Says who? I just booked on United BWI to ORD (a longer distance) it says 2 hours 3 minutes on the itinerary.
An unknowable paradigm? Interesting.

Lots of paint, and corrosion resistant techniques (used by the oil industry on their platforms).
You "clearly" (pun) have never been to the east coast in summer. (see below post.)
I guess a guy with your level of insight loves to skydive miles from shore.

More of a commentary on affluence rather than race (which some would argue correctly falls more or less within racial boundaries).
Now find out - how many blacks with a household income > $70,000 / year are taking the bus.
Not many, would be my guess.
and maybe a few more battlestars, and render us a badass battle posted to Youtube during the hiatus.

Only the strong predators survive. See a pattern yet?
