I'm pretty sure when my church interviewed the new preacher, they were allowed to ask if he was a christian. The laws aren't as clear cut as you naively make them out to be.
Exactly. Many companies give these tests to their most successful employees and then use that as the benchmark for the interviewees. The most successful can't actually be measured in productivity (except in sales), so it is mainly based on rank, which in turn is based on ass kissing and lieing.
You are trusting something the "#1 salesman" told you? How do you think he got to be #1? He was just trying his sales technique on you, to see if he could instill in you any feeling he wanted and make you beleive something completely counter to logic.
Sorry to break it to you, but management gets rewarded hansomly for identifying new management talent that goes on to big things.
Maybe he just wanted to hear a discussion and hear some reasonable opinions. If he posted, "hey, discuss this!", it wouldn't quite make it to Ask Slashdot. And the discussion so far has been excellent.
"I have been informed that they can and do uncover psychopaths."
I doubt it. They uncover people that their test claims are psycopaths. Wow, a fucking tautology. I'm reminded of a great story in Feynman's Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman in which the military drafted him and then turned him down for being a psychopath. The psych asked him questions like, "do you ever think people are looking at you?" and he pointed out some people in the lobby who were indeed at that moment looking at him. Of course the psych just noted his answers without any context, added them up, and bingo: psychopath.
You used up 60GB by streaming radio? Bullshit. If you were streaming at 192kbps (most stuff is streamed out lower than this) 24 hours a day you would get 30.34 days out of 60gigs. Why the hell would you need it streaming literally 24 hours a day?
Given that the language generated by *buntu is infinite, we will have to do that at a point an infinity away from us in the future. Unless you figured out some way to perform a supertask?
"It installs with very reasonable default settings and exactly one of every type of program that most desktop users are used to having." I think most desktop users are used to having something to play mp3s with (not to mention DVDs).
If you've already taken a year to work on your own projects, and have parents who will support that, you don't need Google. Also, Google's money is probably best spent on people who aren't so lucky.
"Because of this, it is far more prevalent than Myspace among college kids." Bullshit. The reason it is more prevalent is that it has a system of keeping out thousands of highschool goths: you must have a.edu email address. (Their highschool page is an exception to this, but it is relatively new and isn't directly connected to the rest of the network).
So, are people supposed to communicate on your page with your crappy guestbook? Or do you have some sort of login/authentication system for your page? If so, do you really expect people to go out of their way to make a login for your page to post "Hey, what's up man?"
If you do a 3/2 split, they don't save any money on office space. If you want to telecommute you have to go all out, and only come in for meetings and rare team workathons.

I think I'll call your bluff, this being your 311th comment on slashdot and all.
Wow, do you work for Giant Testing Corporation #2 or something? You sure sound like a commercial.

Conduct policies? That's nothing; we have laws that have the very same purpose.
Whoa, don't get all Tom Cruise on us. *grins*
I get 1.0/128 for 40 a month, asshole.
Yeah, because a site like face book, which is used by college students more than TV isn't worth anything.
make sure you include types.h

I have a dell 2001fpw (1680x1050), Ubuntu totally barfed on it.

Ah, that's what I was thinking of. A little more spectacular than farm animals =)
In some famous demonstrations Edison's company electricuted some farm animals with high voltage AC.

And some of them aren't even about the band.

What is the difference between "MAY be probable" and.. "is probable"? It's "probably probable"? What kind of nonspeak is this?

Bah, I doubt it can even handle a Saving Private Ryanesque sticky bomb.
