Clients like that do not fall from the sky ---- if you want their attention you are going to have to work for it.
You seem to have software development confused with advertising, and besides, the best advertising agencies have billion dollar companies coming to them, competing for their time. If you want the best, you have to be willing to pay for it.
Contests are scams to find young, hungry people just good enough to produce something useful, but still naive enough not to recognize its true value. As the graphic designers say: say no to spec work. And the typical programmer is nowhere near as poor and hungry as the typical graphic designer.
Though personally I suspect ending the drug war will be more effective at dropping it further. It's not like every country in Europe has a historically persecuted underclass and a narco state at its southern border.
A steady diet of coincidences makes it easy to believe they are more than just coincidences.
Or it will train people to stop believing that those coincidences are meaningful. You know, like every rare occurrence that we already know that is actually common and unrelated.
But that's bigger than the iPad! Nothing can be different than what Apple does, that is the surest sign of failure. I mean, look what happend to 7" tablets. They did not succeed until Apple made one.
is the best you could come up with? Who equips themselves with a tank? You drive a tank. You pilot a plane. You steer a boat. You don't wear giant machines.
The word derives from an Old English word that means to carry. The phrase "bear arms" derives from a Latin phrase, "arma ferre", from "fero", which means to carry.
All meanings of "bear" that don't mean to carry are metaphors derived from that meaning - to endure, to produce, to bring forth, to support, etc.
The point of those tactics is to generate sympathy for the protesters. People are supposed to think they are selfless and brave while the cops or goons who remove them are violent jerks.
A crashed website may evoke anger or schadenfreude, but never sympathy.
The implication being that although I didn't, there were plenty of people who did.
Yes, and is that false?
There was a recent Gallup poll that supports my assertion, so I don't have to rely on my experience with left-leaning Internet forums, but since you haven't yet offered any evidence for your hyperbole, I think I'll just hold on to it until you stop evading.
For someone claiming to be logical, you are certainly evasive. Why did this suddenly become about taking a survey of positions?
For that matter, can you provide evidence that the NRA believes you are "out to get them"? Because, after all, you know I can find examples of actual advocates of gun confiscation. I don't have to resort to hyperbole.
Yet in damn near every gun control thread on the Internet there are people who are. This issue sends many liberals into Tea Party levels of hysteria and Free Republic levels of censorship of opposing viewpoints. I am more ashamed of them than I am the NRA, since, after all, the NRA isn't my tribe.
And I understand the pompous arrogance that motivates his feigned ignorance at the purpose of fizzbuzz tests. For every apocryphal story of "zomg they asked me to write quicksort from memory!" there are hundreds of actual examples of people with impressive credentials who can't even handle modulo arithmetic or linked lists or whatever trivial concept most competent programmers know reflexively. I know, early in my career I graded the damn things, and flunked several people with Masters degrees and many people with years of experience. Never failed a PhD's test, but I did witness one guy who stormed out of the interview when asked to take one. Buh-bye, cupcake!
No one is above this. Anyone who believes they are too special to take it is either so completely ignorant of the industry and the caliber of applicants that they won't perform well in a business setting, or, more likely, they are aware of their own shortcomings and are putting on a show to maintain face and self-esteem. Competent people use them as an opportunity to relax and maybe show off a little.
Seriously, refusing a fizzbuzz test for a programming job is like applying at the DEA and refusing the mandatory drug test. I don't care how you feel about it, you're a fucking a moron to think you could ever get around it.
I guess its because they're only looking at those with early admissions.
Yeah, it's always funny when people talk about Harvard as a tech school, when there are half a dozen state schools better in CS, and their engineering school doesn't even rank.

Do not slander the good name of bureaucrats. Bureaucrats make the world function, and without them there would be organizational chaos.
These are politicians, and they doing exactly what is in their bests interests - accumulating power by calming dumb, panicky herd animals.
Thank you for admitting you were wrong.

Such as the murder rate going down.
Does it definitely, definitely have a smaller screen?

They didn't cater to a minority in the beginning, that means they hate that minority.

She also had less sex than the average Slashdotter. Not exactly someone who should be throwing stones.
Not only did you fail,

I'll give you a nickel if you can find an example in 18th century literature of a person "bearing" a cannon.

Basic competence is irrelevant?
Paging Dunning-Kruger. Precious snowflake on line one.
Paula Bean, is that you?
No it isn't.
Some would say that the Earth is our moon. But that would belittle the name of our moon, which is: The Moon.

Prohibition started with old biddies moral panicing about alcohol. You sound like an old biddy trying to reframe criticism of their behavior.
There is nothing quite as pathetic as an asshole full of excuses.
Or simply try being a right-winger surrounded by smart people, anywhere. It's rough.
