Anyway, is this caffeine withdrawal stuff really news to anyone? Anyone?
Definitely not, and it bothers me when articles like this say things like:
They concluded the higher the caffeine intake, the more likely a patient was to suffer from severe withdrawal symptoms when denied the ingredient
Anyone living in the past decade could have told you that as common knowledge.
Anyway, my experience with withdrawal was when I would only get headaches on Saturday and Sunday, but they would disappear as soon as Monday rolled around. Figuring it wasn't that I just loved work and wanted to get back into the office, my solution was to drink less coffee at work.
And to get a coffee machine for Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Do companies like Google or Red-Hat offer scholarships to big name schools in return for a few years of work after college?
You might see this from places that don't get tons of resumes on a daily basis. Google does have some scholarships (I know of at least the Anita Borg scholarship, but that only applies to women I believe), but I doubt highly that any of them come with job offers attached. For something like that you might need to look at government agencies, which I know sometimes have scholarships that pay for school but require work after graduation.
I'm not a lawyer, so I'm wondering what kind of legal standing the employees have over what is presumably part of the terms of employment for a company, agency, etc.
Couldn't the court just throw this out saying, "If you don't like it, then don't work there..."?
You're right on the point. Take the math/science out of Computer Science and you end up with 98% of all of the examples posted to http://worsethanfailure.com/ -- people writing solutions purely to convert inputs to outputs without any thought put in to doing it the best/easiest/cleanest/most extensible/etc.
What about checking the referrer HTTP header? If the action came from the "authorized" window, the browser should attach the proper referrer URL. For the requests that come from the malicious browser, the referrer header would have to be forged for it to work correctly.
