Microsoft's hiring process:
1,312 New Jobs this last year.
360,000 Applicants...
Uh, thats a.364% hiring rate, or one job for every 274 applicants, I'm not sure if I like my chances.
Also:
#63 LensCrafters, while not a tech company, this sounded pretty cool:
"Sunglass Hut, a new sister company, joined this year's Visionfest, where managers and execs donned white gloves, top hats, and bow ties to welcome employees, park their cars, and open doors. "
I think the point he was trying to make was that Microsoft hires a lot of programmers fresh out of college, and that the odds of at least one of them making an error in generating an encryption key are far greater than the odds of anybody cracking that key.
True, revolutions in science are neccisary. However I don't expect to find a hydrino powered space heater sitting squarly in the corner of the room, at least not in my lifetime. Not to say I think this guy is a crackpot or anything, but I see no reason to get my hopes up about obscure physics research.
From the link, "Randell Mills has pledged for a decade to spark a revolution in physics that will not only overturn much of the atomic science that been taught and rewarded since the early 20th century, but will also provide a source of clean and nearly limitless energy."
Saddly, If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...

The world would be a better place if we had politcians who read slashdot...
In other news today, France surrenders to Boeing.
So, who do you think does a better spoken word rendition of rocketman, you or Stewie Griffin?
