$225/hr seems awfully high. I've seen a professional services contract from a company you know be "only" $160/hr gross and our regular contractors are much less.
Plus raw is an adjective, not an acronym. Anyone who uppercases it should be shot.
CR2 files *are* raw. Would NEF or DNG files be okay given their dumb wording??
Which is the same reason Microsoft cedes a certain fraction of market share to Apple. They want them to be significant enough to claim that MSFT isn't a monopoly, but not a dollar bigger.
The thing is, that Google -- and moreover Amazon -- do not ask these questions of those who code for a living. They ask them of *everyone* applying for a tech position.
One Amazon interview started off with someone unrelated to the position I was interviewing for demanding that I write code to come up with a list of English words from adjacent letters in an n-by-n matrix. Because you totally need to do that on a daily basis when writing a kickstart template.
When Facebook tried the same thing, I told them I was no longer interested.
This sort of thing of course requires a high degree of expertise that is not very common. When I lived in rural WA I looked into doing something like this, with very little information on how to go about it that didn't require getting a EE degree. Ended up with ISDN -- yeah -- and later a DS1 that took a lot of sword-rattling for VZN to provision, including several repeaters. They refused to put a DSLAM in the local phone site, and at the time Comcast wouldn't even take $ to extend a mile or two to reach my place -- I think they since have.
There was a VP for an NSP who lived on the other side of Orcas who had a heck of a time getting a DS1 provisioned, so the effort and know-how to get something like this up and running is substantial.

The only way to win is not to play.
The thing I don't get is that the GP actually wrote "reiterate" with a straight face.
Am I the only one thinking a couple of brown dwarfs?
Giorgio Tsoukalos, your cover is blown.
Wish I had mod points for you. Linux: *still* no bundled compressing file system.
B&H if you can find a day that isn't an obscure holiday.
They'll melt your amp too with the current they demand.
In my last job search, having been somewhere for N years was a distinct liability. Why do you want to leave now, we're concerned you can't adapt etc.

I wish this were hyperbolic but sadly it is not.
If by "science" you mean "football stadium", perhaps.
Forcing the school board to eat McDeath would be cruel and unusual punishment.
Thank you. This sort of thing bugs the hell out of me.
If it were really for the kids he would ask them. But it's a setup: gamer geeks don't get laid.

There is no fine food in RTP, and "southern living" is an oxymoron.
Let's leave Family Ties out of this.
Having to have most of one's food shipped in would be a real drag.
Or, just set up CrashPlan and be done with it, and not make the mistake of having only on-site backups.

Overpopulation is a global problem. Shit, even California where there are tens of thousands who can afford.

Indeed. It's not that programmers call themselves engineers, it's that *everyone else* uses the term to describe anyone in a tech job.
Clearly the bizarre cfengine guy is one of them
