  1. Re:Not in this economy. on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    Send me your resume, I'll get you a phone screen at a top company. If you've had phone screens/interviews with Amazon, Google, MS before and didn't get an offer, the problem is not the degree. Attending a good school does not make one a good developer, though I do believe there's a strong correlation between good developers and where they went to school.

  2. Guess where it's coming from? on Where Has All My Spam Gone? · · Score: 1

    So Russian invades Georgia. Cyber-war ensues. Big problems with hosting and internet access in Georgia. And your spam mysteriously slows right down. ... huh

  3. Re:"Behavioural" questions at an interview on Behavioral Interviews for New Hires? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Microsoft. I haven't actually gone through it, but I have enough friends who have. I'm not sure if it's all on one day because Microsoft flies them out for the interview or if regular candidates always go through the same thing (I suspect the latter). I think one of my friends had 9 1 hour interviews in one day - he was pretty sure the "personality" test was over lunch.

  4. Re:Give me a break on Publishers Frustrated With Second-Hand Sales · · Score: 1

    Hey, if they're selling you a license and someone steals your game, that would mean that the manufacturer is legally obliged to replace the media. After all, you didn't buy the game, you bought the license. If the license is somehow attached to the media, then they have no argument in the first place, but if, as they argue, the license is some intangible blessing placed upon the person who made the purchase, then you still have the right to play the game even if someone steals your media. I think if they pass any kind of law like that, then we would see an incredible upsurge in game "theft", and they would essentially be distributing games at a 2 for 1 rate.

    And don't forget the "hack" everyone uses if enums don't cut it:
    enum {eStandardArraySize = 32}
