I'm sorry, but your comment is just ridiculous bigotry. I was born outside the US, and since my mother was a US citizen, I have US citizenship by birth. I did not become proficient in English until I moved to the US around the age of 13. So yeah, the test is required for naturalization, but that's not the only way to citizenship. And yes, those born here in the US have no requirement to learn English. Then there's those who can only speak one language (English), but can't really read or write. But that's beyond help.
First you define what you want: Do you want technical certs? Then look for people with those. Do you want people with academic background (data normalization, OOP, etc)? Then look for people with CS degree. Do you want people with experience? Then look for people with relevant experience, and or do a practical test as suggested (which everyone can get their smart friend to do for them I'm sure)
Weight each one of the factors according to what he or she is supposed to be doing. Systems analyst? Architecture design? Jr. code monkey? Overall hacker (jack of all trades, master of none)?
Then rank them in each factor. Most of those factores are qualitative more than quantitative by the way.
But sometimes, the best programmers are not the ones with the best qualifications, but the ones with the best fit into your business. 8 years php experience vs 4 years php experience IN YOUR INDUSTRY: I'll pick the 4 year experience guy.
but contacts would be much cheaper than one transmitter per block. that way you only need one transmitter and battery brick. this is really interesting... it could be a step closer to self replicating nano machines. Even if the transmitter / power source / CPU is not so nano.
"R" as in relocation or as in russification? Yes it'll be a good idea to move all the spammers over to Siberia. It'll stop spam at least until they get fiber over there...
Well, of course they should have to provide some proof of probable wrongdoing , but I'm not sure that they can say that to deny an audit is proof of probable wrongdoing . Software licensing is a civil matter, but copyright violation is a criminal matter. Of course this opinion is made drawing from all my previous law experience, in other words, no experience at all.
They can't force you to have an audit (unless you signed a contract). They can submit the case to the police and the have them investigate. They can then raid the office and check your licensing. If you are 100% linux, then the case gets dropped. The BSA is just a proxy to sue people, so in case you sue back, you can't hurt the ones that are actually trying to extort you. Same as RIAA, MIAA, etc. Can they knock on your door and say "we want to audit you"... Yes, but you can refuse.
I really love these "features" that prevent users from using their computers. I can't remember how many times I had to troubleshoot licensing problems in NetWare. Windows NT and 2000 used to be quite trouble free regarding this kind of crap. But now with WGA I'm making money off copy protection again. Right now I'm migrating a server from Windows 2000 to Linux for a client for that very reason. Thanks for giving me business, Microsoft.
I would much rather deal with a broken X conf than with the crap I have to put up with WGA. It was a NAS server, I'm sure it was still serving even without a GUI.
"Phone number? No I don't have one, and I don't have a last name either. My parent's were very postmodern, so they didn't give me a last name"... Works everytime !!!

No, there's a fee per checked bag. Only carry-on satellites that can fit underneath the seat in front of you are allowed for safety reasons.

I'm sure there's already a fetish for shoe soles. They could just go online and torrent somebody's archive of photos.... upps...
... java is slow and a memory hog. (for the sarcasm impaired, yes, I'm joking).

Well, they used to say that in soviet russia having a typewriter required a license, but not an AK-47.
In other news, famed designer Calvin Klein is presumed dead after underwear with his name was found floating in the Atlantic Ocean
I'm just kidding... actually they're giving preference to people with nuclear and quantum physics degrees...
Sorry, it was done already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Teenage_Riot. They actually have an album that's a single 25 minute song of pure noise. And people liked it!
Best comment I've read in slashdot, ever.

This time twice as many people filled the survey, so instead of 100% like last time, this one goes up to 200%!!!
does it run linux? ... lame!

Fix it: pick a new xml parser, and start again from scratch.
Just try to hammer each database with 50 concurrent transactions to see which one scales better!!

There was something worse, Atari Teenage Riot ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_Brixton_Acade my_(Atari_Teenage_Riot_album)
Please, we do NOT want to know why!
Lame, no Linux drivers!
This is another option used by the people that make GlazedLists, so that they can support Java 5.0 and 1.4 with the same code base: http://publicobject.com/glazedlists/wiki/index.php ?title=Declawer
