I guess it depends on what type of personality you have and if you like to communicate with the other team members.
Why do we expect him to do a better job learning Chinese than the Chinese developers did of learning English, even though they had a lot more incentive to do so?
From my perspective, good communication is about trying to understand the other person. Knowing just a single thing about the other person's culture puts you in a better position to be able to get what you want from him/her. Whether you agree or not, China is growing in power and importance. In my country, most of the big companies do business with China, and more companies are getting bought up by Chinese investors. I think that just showing you are open-minded towards new things is more important than speaking the language fluently.
When things go wrong, do you want him or the Chinese developers to be blamed?
I'm more interested in solving problems and working together with the team to find solutions, than to find someone to put the blame on when something goes wrong. Maybe this is just a work culture thing, I never worked in the US but I have heard the work culture follows a more strict chain of command. In my team, no one is getting blamed for any mistakes.
Everyone speaks English and there's a reason why he's a mid-career developer and never had to speak a foreign language.
Perhaps you are right, and this is true for someone living in the US, working for a US company. You may not need Chinese investors to keep the company running, or Chinese workers to develop software at competitive prices.
I agree with you on Chinese. Sooner or later you will work on some project where most of the developers are in China. Communication is the most challenging part of such a project. If you know the language you are definitely in a better position to get higher salary or some team leader position.
*blush* I'm ashamed to admit it, but I actually did this and it worked great.
I used a chatbot to filter out girls who lived too far away, and when the chatbot found someone in the right age group living in the right area it played a sound on my server's internal beeper.
If I was near the computer and heard the sound (and had time) I would chat with her personally.
Saved me alot of time and I found a girlfriend too:)
You forgot one:
4. blow smoke in your face while you are standing in queue infront of an ATM machine, so you can choose between either holding your breathe or leaving your position in the queue.
When a search request is sent out, it goes to the entire network because every client which receives a request sends it out to all their connections as well.
I don't think that would be scalable, when the network grows all your bandwidth will be used to forward and receive search requests. You may also get the same search request forwarded to you from multiple users due to the layout of the network.
It may work very well for smaller networks, ~1000 users, but then the concept of "seeker" packets fails because it depends on one big global network of users, if I understood your post correctly.
For a given salt, each of the 2^56 possible passwords will have different crypts. The only place you'll see duplicates for the same salt is because of truncation effects
Unless the salt is "1/" and your password is "$C4U1N3R" or "SEEKETH.":-P
I wanted to test this in VMware but unfortunally the netinstall bootdisk didn't have support for VMware's network driver. I really think they should include it so it would be easier to try this out. I'm not going to run this on my normal computer and risk destroying all my data.

It's fucking close to water.
Exactly, I like American beer :)
So basically, when something stops working, hitting it may actually solve the problem? :-)
The dealer have no options in gameplay, but he/she can shuffle the cards when the casion's odds drops.
The dealer can also count cards in order to detect players who count cards.

Thank you vncserver, xchat, perl and beep.

That's because smaller HDs are more reliable, the data density is lower and they spin slower too.

Are you sure? Those two are usually mutually exclusive...

Naah, if you are really rich it can take up to a week for her to spend it all...
So the original statement can be true for several days
