Fake job ads are not for H1. You dont have to show squat to hire someone on H1B. Fake job ads are for green card applicants on one of the 'advanced' categories. The US government mandates that the company have looked for an equally talented American and failed. This is obviously a stupid, populist regulation that is easily surmounted by fake ads. Yeah the ads are super annoying but it is not the companies' fault, it is the government's.
Have been using OO for years, never noticed the.org in the name until you pointed it out, and it's already annoying!

The "bugs" one made me think this was written by someone who had no idea how a sustainable development model works. Then I read Marc Garcia is a student. How does this shit pass thru Slashdot's editors?
This is my experience as well. However, in my case the definition of project is a bit loose: - Someone wrote a script in perl and left the company. - Someone else needs to make Improvements to this code but they dont know perl. Even though the original code is written in as clear and readable perl as possible, they automatically think perl is hard. This is in fact company policy now. They write a python script and make a system call to it from the perl code. Soon there are two, three... seven python calls in the perl code. - Someone now wants to break the perl code up, so now there are python calls in the perl code and perl calls in the python code. - Someone wraps this up in a shell script. - Someone else learnt bash and not sh so they make bash calls in this code and it no longer works on non linux architectures. - Someone who knew the original developer calls him and they enjoy a wry laugh.
My eyes are particularly sensitive to bright light and flicker and things like that -- I havent read this study, but I tend to concur as after oodles of tweaking, I have settled on white text on blue background. I have found that not using too many colors (eg. turning off syntax highlighting) helps, and choosing bigger and clearer fonts (dont know how to quantify "clearer"). Refresh rate should be high too. Contrast and brightness should be lower than default. Tend to pick greys instead of whites, eg. rgb=0.9 each instead of 1.
In your original post, your point is that OP shouldnt bid $100 and if they bid $100, it's not unfair that they be charged $100 - be it by fraud. Now your point is ebay's policies are unenforceable? What's your point, exactly?
In your opinion, OP's strategy is bad because it doesnt account for fraud. Agreed. But if fraud is universal and not liable to be detected, bidding $100 on a current price of $50 is a non-strategy, and it should be disallowed or at least discouraged by Ebay. Either way, Ebay is to blame.
There could be many ways to identify legitimaacy of patterns. One thing off the top of my head is that if B is sufficiently greater than A, find the last bid C. Now if C is close to B, it is as likely to be below B as above B (actually it is less likely, because more often than not C wants to win). If it is consistently below B, there is fraud.

If the current price is A and you bid B, technically you should be able to buy the product for a price X such that A < X <= B. With shilling, X = B. Quite simply, if shilling is the norm, the earlier policy becomes moot. Now if Ebay officially makes it a policy that X = B, it'd be one thing, but to say one thing and not have policies against the opposite happening is clearly Ebay's fault.

> Someone mentioned that K&R has memory leaks all over the place, because it's more readable.
Well, someone is wrong. K&R code is very, very good; among the best you'll find in any programming language book.
So you make everyone use an IDE instead of their favourite editor? Sounds dictatorial to me.

I just sold the fact that dgatwood has anal retention issues to Ex-lax.

On the other hand, if your architecture degree doesnt teach you to consider drainage...
Another example usage for multithreaded is in parallel processing, where lwps take advantage of multicore or other shared memory type architectures.
