Our interviews are not concentrated on any one platform, we have stuff in foxpro, java, python, php, c++ and c#...
Foxpro?? Umm...that may be your problem right there...You want stellar candidates to work on a 28 year old technology? Damn, that does sound exciting? Will I get to work on DOS 2.0 too?
That's a bit revisionist. The MacBook Pro came before the MacBook, and it was a replacement for the PowerBook, not the iBook. The reason for the name change only tangentially was for "[making sure that consumers knew that] even though it's Intel based, it still has the Mac OS"; the real reason was to avoid having "Power" in the name since it no longer used the "PowerPC" architecture.
But the PowerBook name was used prior to the use of the PowerPC architecture. The PowerBook Duo 210 came out in 1992 and used Motorola 68030.
I don't think how far away an employee lives should enter into it at all. I have worked with several colleges who have insisted on telecommuting/coming late/leaving early because they 'live so far away'. I always ask them - didn't you know where the office was? When you came in to interview didn't you pay attention to how far away you lived?
If a long commute was a problem, why did you take the job??
WTF? If supply for something is less than the demand, of course prices will go up.
Unfortunately, in the IT world, a shortage of talent does not drive salaries higher.
Currently in the US there is a dramatic shortage of IT workers. This shortage is soo great that Bill Gates even lobbied Congress to get the ability to import more workers using H1-B visas.
Now, in reality, the author posted it to a forum, probably with the intention of giving away the code. It would be entirely up to the author to sue and whether the author would sue or not -- well, I kinda doubt it.
Umm..how do you know this guy is the original author and didn't himself lift it from another site?
That to me is the danger in not using in house code. You never know who the original author is it.
At large corporations, the software costs are minor when compared to the device support charges from outsource vendors such as EDS, ACS, etc. When you are paying $70-$140 a month to your vendor for support, $300 a year doesn't sound very bad.
I think albums became very popular when 4/8 track player became popular in cars ( late 60's). You could buy an hours worth of music and stick it in your car stereo and rock out as you tooled down the highway burning that 25 cent/gallon gasoline.
In fact According to the March 28, 2002 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Robert Thibadeau, director of Carnegie Mellon's Internet Security labratory, says that "the 19 terrorists on Sept. 11 were holding 63 state driver's licenses for identification."
Google's Hyperion database is an OLAP ( on-line analytical processing ) database rather than an OLTP ( on-line transaction processing ) database. OLAP databases are optimized more for processing human queries rather than standard transactions (like most MSSQL and Oracles are). Hyperion incorporates multi-demensional data hierarchies and other data formats that are difficult if not impossible to model in straight SQL(think of a Rubik's cube in 7 demensions).
The downside of this approach is that it can cause lengthy time periods when the cubes needs to be re-calculated. In Google's case, evidently, this took 48 hours.
But when he died, Stanford didn't even have a memorial for him due to his insistence on correlation between white skin and intelligence and advocation of eugenics to weed out the undesirable darker skinned races of the world.
I know that nobody could slip a single line of code into my project without my knowledge.
Don't forget Ken Thompson's "cc hack" - you don't have to necessarily have access to the source code. Access to compilers/pre-compilers/scripts/make files/etc may be enough.

Will I have to pay for ads too? Or will Time Warner block them. That alone may get more people to sign up.

Of course, everyone seems to forget - if you can telecommute, your job can be easily outsourced!
I think it all depends on three things:
1) How far away does the employee live

One might think that Microsoft would simply raise salaries until it manages to get the number of IT workers its needs. But there are not enough graduating from US schools, and as the Secretary of Labor Chou has said, they have hygiene problems - http://www.parade.com/articles/editions/2007/edition_07-01-2007/Intelligence_Report/
So until American college students learn how to bath properly, the laws of supply and demand will be transcended.

Egyptian hieroglyphic were only solved after the Rosetta stone was found.

My old Samsung battery was $120 for a replacement and I had to install it myself.
I bet it costs more than running spell check!

Dude - you make tampons!
Another thing to keep in mind, do NOT run electricity/power lines in the conduits!
Umm...I think you are required to run electrical & power lines in conduits. Bare wire in walls is not allowed...
You can always just hit the # key - it skips the message.

That was Toshiba - for many years government contractors were careful not to use any Toshiba equipment less the get their contracts yanked.
The Senate voted to ban the import of Toshiba products for three years after this.
