Unfortunately, software development is one of those things where you can only judge talent if you have talent.
Assuming you already have a couple good guys on staff (but how do you know they are good?:-), do you use any open source projects? Interview those guys. Open source is a great way to get to know someone -- you can review their code and documentation, and you also know that programming is something they love. People who are involved in open source typically love programming (otherwise, why do it?).
I worked for Boeing for a while, and you can't accept gifts or airfare from, well, any of your customers. Not a federal agency, not a contractor, not the military, no one.
Yeah, if some random hot girl decided to put out for me one day, I'd be like "sweet! you rule!" but when my wife withholds her nightly blowjob, i'm like "damn you bitch"
I'll prefer to take Microsoft's word of how many sales they made over some random dudes on the internet, being that Microsoft is a public company and making false financial reports is a pretty serious legal offense.
Yes, Vista was a complete failure -- it only sold 60 million copies so far this year. Microsoft will surely never recover, only having 34 billion dollars in cash.
While it may be possible to learn the syntax of language X in a few weeks (which would still cost a company thousands of dollars in training), it takes a lot longer to learn the idioms and the frameworks and the libraries of the new language.
For example, while you can write C++-style code in Ruby, it will be ugly and slow. To use Ruby productively, you have to learn to take advantage of the dynamic typing. Just as in order to take advantage of C++, you need to take advantage of the static typing.
Doesn't matter if one person has mozilla. Outlook sends invitations in ical format. If you're in outlook and send an event invitation to someone, they can accept it in whatever email/calendar program they are using (apple mail & ical, gmail & google calendar, thunderbird & lightning, etc).

And that would consume too much time and requires too much technical knowledge for the majority of people.
Good for you though!
Huh, that's not my experience (working on Rails-driven web apps).
My specs/tests help drive the design and catch bugs all the time.
The officials have access to high speed cameras (10,000 frames per second or something) -- those images aren't released to the media.
I'd say a graphical user interface, word processor, web browser, programming/debugging tools, all that should be necessary for a modern live CD.
Classes are constants in Ruby, so it's good to be able to modify constants (so you can modify classes).
It can't be free because the author wants to get paid for his work on it.
Jesus, that's not worth the time to respond.

Dude, you really don't understand how openid works. Sorry.
I'd explain it better, but I have work to do. But please do read up some more on it.
then create multiple openids? one for each category of safety that you need?
i.e. one for facebook/myspace/blogging/flickr/etc, and another for banking information.
The openid yahoo site, not the regular yahoo site, silly.
That's why the good openid providers have a security image that you choose (and supposedly look for).
Look at how Yahoo does it.
How could a fake banking site possibly get your openid password? You only give your openid password to one site, the openid provider.
You can also see who is using your openid, when they are logging in to sites, the IP addresses of people using your openid, etc.
Going from 8.2 to 8.3 in postgresql is not a 'minor' release. It's quite a major step with a lot of new features.
Would it make a difference to you if they bumped up the version number to 9?

It's their right to do whatever they want with their game.

What does that, if it's true, have to do with the topic at hand?

If that's not failure, I don't know what is.

Yes, Office 2003 and 2007 are pretty darned excellent products, as far as general polish and usability.
I say this, as a open source nerd.
Lots of businesses depend on GPS -- it's absolutely critical. i.e. trucking companies, Walmart, airliners, etc.
actually, probably all of them use macs. Rubyists love macs.
