  1. Re:"Behavioural" questions at an interview on Behavioral Interviews for New Hires? · · Score: 1

    Last interview I had, the hiring manager didn't really ask me many questions. I tried to ask a few without appearing to lead the interview. But this kinda left me in limbo as I had nothing to react to. Any suggestions for me, the interviewe?

  2. Yep, sounds about right. on Linux Snobs, The Real Barriers to Entry · · Score: 1

    I got the same respone on IBM's internal nntp server. Twit used everything but the foul language to deride me for not already knowing all there is to know. I hope some Paki has his job now.

    Hardly very extendable or flexible? You could try throwing countless dollars and developers at it like IBM did. It took a few years, but many of the wrinkles have been ironed out.

  5. Re:At Least Make the Recruiters Do Their Freak'n J on What Do You Want in a Job Website? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't think that was the point. He doesn't want to have to use a Microsoft product. He's supplied three alternative sources, non of which comply to their REQUIREMENT of MS Word. And while I appreciate his position, I know that many recruiters and HR departments 1. don't want to have to go through a hundred resume's trying to figure out what program they need just to view each one, 2. sanitize the personal information like email address and phone number before passing it along to the hiring manager. I know what you're thinking for #1. But you've got to remember, HR people aren't educated in the million different ways to open a file. They're not going to just double click on a pdf document. They're going to open Word, then try to open resume.pdf, that's if they can find it.

    It is possible that the courier repackaged the product.
    It is also possible that the roof of their warehouse leaks and their employees suck.

    That's probably from the shipping company truck, specifically the trailers. My scenereo is possible, but not as likely as a trailer having a massive leak.

  8. Several warehousing problems. on A Look Inside Newegg · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Namely, product on the floor, not on pallets. This may seem like an odd requirement until you realize that fire hoses leak more often than they are used to put out fires. Also a forklift is less likely to crush something sitting on a pallet.
    Product in the rack storage area above head height should be wrapped. I believe this is an OSHA requirement. Even if not, packaging can be damaged if it falls to the floor. And while the packaging is no doubt designed for impact resistance, no one wants the can of beans with the dent in it, nor the dented scratched up box, reagrdless of what's inside.
    Garage bay doors should not be open unless they are blocked with security gates. This keeps people from falling off the dock as well as lowers the point of breach. The box recycler is also another point of interest. I wonder how many pieces of memeory end up in the crusher.

    And while this may be an advertising ploy, no doubt someone at newegg will see this thread. Hopefully they improve upon their environment.

    Tell me about it. I'm one of those cell phone only people. Yet, I still have the landline in my house. The only people I can call for free is the operator and 911.

    IBM does RedHat's support. Releasing their own brand doesn't help an established revenue stream.

    Rational thinking people? You mean the middle and high schoolers this was meant to be taught to? The same hormonally imbalanced people that concern themselves more about getting rid of a zit than whether they do well in math? Had this crap made it into the schools, most students would have said whatever and continued with their social life, while the minority would have nodded their heads from the same crap their parents fed them from birth.
    Besides, I've never heard a biology teacher ever suggest that evolution was anything more than a theory. Your statement to the contrary shows how weak a foundation ID 'theory' has. I use the term loosly in your case.
