Well, now you're just implying that we're lazy or incapable. Only a billion probes? In another 100 years it'll be trivial to build 10^10th times that many.
Yeah, but the line for those jobs is tens of thousands of applicants long right now. If he's the type of person debating taking a job in an industry he's unsure about, he probably doesn't stand out enough for that 10%.
2 pages is the usual limit. No one cares beyond the summary level what you did more than 5 years ago. So everything older than that gets a half page to list employer and position (last half page). One page for the last 5 years (middle). First half page is the summary of you and why you're a fit for the position. You can do more summary of you and less fit if you use a cover letter, but that's risky since cover letters frequently get binned before they reach the people who will really make the hiring decision.
Obviously, they were looking to hire someone from Sun who worked with the language for a couple of years before it was released. The company I work for is shortly going to open source a language. I'll be able to claim 5 more years of experience with it than anyone in the remainder of the public.
They should be signed using the legal signature of the signee. However, who is going to actually physically take pen to paper to sign a contract in 10 years? No one. It will all be digital by then.
You're assuming there will still be printed forms in 20 years. That's the mistaken conclusion. Everything will be online, and your digital identity will be verified, so there will be no need for anything more of a 'signature'.
I think the point is that the likelihood of a child of the next generation ever, ever, seriously ever, being in a situation where they need to take notes on paper is so close to zero as to render the teaching of cursive malignant when consideration of what ELSE could be taught in that time is made.
Exercise for the day: compute the maximum speed the kid's car could have hit by looking up the manufacturer's data on acceleration (and braking), and knowing the length of the road being measured, and the time it took to traverse that distance.
How is this response helpful? None of those things apply to the standard sale of software in shrinkwrapped boxed form. I don't have any verbal conversation that changes the contract terms with the clerk at best buy. And while I also don't sign anything, there's no unsigned contract either. It's a simple POS transaction, and UCC rules apply.
There's a world of difference between mailing something to yourself, and having it notarized. And the difference is: the notarization is the part that stands up in court. The notary will insist upon seeing the contents. Then it's their notary license on the line (and potential jail time) if they lie about what you put in that envelope.

Less likely for a lawyer to behave criminally than an IT employee? Good god, what companies have you been working for?

Unfortunately, Occam's razor is merely a philosophy about what to believe, much like Christianity, not a proven law or fact.
The groupthink is not the same as what the individuals think.
The problem is that Taco Bell food quality varies extremely across the country, depending on where they are sourcing the horses.

None of the major studios hires people out of the game design programs. And certainly not for software development.
Indeed. We've hired exactly one person with a meaningful reputation in five years / 400 hires.

Pfft. 640bit isn't even close to enough for multiverse internet routing.

I'm pretty sure cursive and ascii suffer only the same difficulties in non-english speaking countries.
Hmm ... the other day I sent out baby pictures that would have weighed several hundred pounds in printout. How many pigeons is that?

When you're born to southern hicks and don't get sent to school, it's hard to get a good grounding in science.
I'd expect modern science to analyze it, extract the active constituent, and provide it at a known dose with consistent quality.
Why would you expect that? Where's the profit in it for the drug companies?
d/t = average speed
d/t^2 = acceleration

Right. No one who is speeding ever spots a cop and slows down. Ever.

My first cell was a recycled drug dealers number. If you think the phone calls coming into a deadbeats number are fun to answer ....
You should always own two guns, one registered, the other to plant on the dead guy.
