I dare you to prove that the Towers of Hanoi is just a rewording of this problem. Here, I'll raise the stakes even, I'll give you a Turing Award if you do so.
You've got their resume, you've got the word of their past employers, they've given you some sort of portfolio, isn't that real measure of whether or not they can get the job done? You've got years of work you could go over, but instead you're thinking that in thirty minutes you'll be able to judge a man's skill?
It seems like an interview should be more about getting to understand someone's personality. Are they a good fit for your department? Maybe you could also spend some time clarifying things in their portfolio, trying to understand the work they really did. Giving them a paper test sounds like a waste of time to me.

... wait a second, let me read the wikipedia article on this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Haught#cite_note-Haught-Coyne-7
- Is an evolutionary creationist
- Testified against ID in a court case
What exactly were these guys debating about?
p.s. anyone have a real source on this article?
As a mac user, I disagree with this. Apple added in a quick search feature into osx not so long ago, and I use it all the time. There's a big difference between typing a precise command into a terminal, and simply typing a few letters from an app name and hitting return as soon as you see the icon pop up. Apple has always been ahead of the game on search. You can search from basically any file browser, including when you're opening a file. Unity has its problems, but I suspect that as time goes on you'll learn to love this feature.
In the classic film noir Detour, I remember the main character is stopped for a search when he tries to cross the state line. I know you shouldn't believe everything in movies, but I sort of figured that was a standard practice back in the day, and it fell under the border exception. If this is true, I think TSA would be able to legally search you in these cases (that is, if they weren't doing these unreasonable strip searches), because unless you're flying from San Francisco to LA, you're probably crossing a state line.
Any law geeks on here know what the deal is with this?
Yes but with shotgun sequencing you would need several rounds of fragmentation. So unless you have thousands of copies of the same page shredded with a high enough variance to detect overlap, we're talking about a very different problem.
This is simply not true. A loan is not a subsidy. If we handed out 60 grand, then yes that would be the cost. But because it is a loan, the people taking out the loan will do a calculation. College is as expensive as it is now in part because you can get a big enough loan, but also because people think it is worth that much money. It baffles me that conservatives, who claim to be all about personal responsibility, will blame government for any problem individuals have. If you don't want to pay 60,000 for college, refuse to go to a school that charges that much. If you take out too much of a loan, you only have yourself to blame, not the government. It baffles me that conservatives, who claim to understand markets, completely ignore basic economics. If nobody valued an education enough to spend 60 grand on it, they wouldn't take out a loan for 60 grand. They would take out a smaller loan, and go to a cheaper school.
I agree, but let's be bolder. If parents are what kids need, then parents are what teachers should become. We need to tear down the barriers. Teachers should be allowed to make deeper connections with their students. The same teacher should spend time with a student for many years. Students should spend more time at school, with teachers being closely involved in nonacademic activities. They should be encouraged to meet with them outside of school. They should be allowed to discipline the children. They should be there when the student is working on his homework. The community needs to pick up the slack of bad parents. I know that the fundies will scream about indoctrination, and the paranoid about pedophilia, but we can't expect mere lecturers to inspire kids.
Ignoring basic science? Typical slashdot arrogance. This theory wasn't proposed by some hippy journalist. It was proposed by a guy with a PhD in Geochemistry from Stanford. It's a published journal article*. Just because it challenges what they taught you in high school, doesn't mean he's ignoring basic science.
*Also, apparently published in 2008. News for nerds!
also, largest of its kind! One with the most features! Most customers! Most attractive customers! Shiniest cars! Only one that doesn't poison all of its clients! Least deadly of all of them! Most vacuously true of all of them!

Although the telephone has a rotary dial for dialing numbers, most calculators and keyboards have button pads. Switching between the two destroys muscle- and spatial- memory, as well as ability to use commas. Do any slashdoters use a scientific calculator with a rotary dial on it? I've already scraped and resoldered my Casio fx-9000 calculator to have a rotor, and plugged a USB rotor phone into Gentoo, but if there exists any calculators like this already on the market, I'd buy three.
this! Why who would buy from a company with such rules?
Oh, haha, that's right, basically all of their old customers. Apathy will win in the end. I guess this is just one further thing we can expect from our cans of soup EULAs 10 years from now.
