But so many of these issues are connected and have comparable solutions in allowing specific immigration and education and investing in industry. Just help TSMC open fabs throughout Europe and get key people far away from china

If your success rate is under 1% and you are using generic technologies, my guess is that your test is not very good. At that success rate you have to interview 100 people for 1 pass. That's a lot of hours to burn, especially at a "startup".

Remove it for sure. Most hiring managers think that the whole world explodes every 5 years and no experience (other than management experience haha) is relevant after that.

yeah. I know that when I look for something - like motorcycle boots, I see tons of ads for motorcycle boots. The problem - they are the SAME boots I already looked at. If I wanted THOSE I would have bought them. Give me other boots. Stupid.

A quick bit of googling finds that there are women in the MRA movement, and they are even leaders.

and corporate would REALLY hate it if that hotel became 20 million more expensive, and everyone who signed off on it faced aggresive criminal prosecution.

Which means that anyone not being one of the best looking probably got nothing or close to nothing. And probably little response from sending messages out.

And I didn't mean to post that comment AC. The guy who got the refund was me.

They always claim its because consumers 'test drive' stuff there. You know why we don't buy? Because outside of the ability to 'test drive' the retail experience SUCKS. The staff have no clue. Or worse, they try and push crap because they've been told to. Which means you get a worse shopping result than just choosing at random. They push RANDOM assorted products on you. They try and get you to buy overpriced warranties on $10 items. Half the time they don't have what you want. When they DO have what you want, especially the things you want quick (like a cable) they only have the $40 version of a $4 cable. Fuck it, I'll order online and save both the test drive and the $36 extra you wanted for no reason. The checkout process is borderline hostile with all the checkers, security people, etc. Customer service seems to be codeword for "fuck you, we got yo money bitches". Die Best Buy. Preferably in a violent spectacle that I can watch for my personal amusement.

While everyone is saying how horrible this is, I say it is a GOOD THING, but not because I like censorship. Just like SOPA, these sorts of behaviors provide a HUGE competitive advantage to networks that can set themselves up to enable truly free communications. As things get worse, countries and areas that provide safe havens for real communication can also make a killing (just like some foreign banks do in aiding tax evasion). What someone needs to do is start building those services....

Take a look at Appcelerator Titanium, or Corona. Or even PhoneGap. Kinda late to the party Yahoo... again.

"corporation" generally refers to the for-profit kind. It is shorthand for "For profit corporation". When speaking of things like Greenpeace, people refer to them as "Non-profits", as shorthand for "non profit corporation". Quit being pedantic and arguing semantics. You know what people mean.

if the 'scandal' involved Obama signing away civil liberties or other horrors, then yes. Because such evil keeps Murdoch's heart nice and cold at night.

I know right. Damn Kia, costing half as much and actually running all the time. How am I supposed to convince my friends I'm wealthy and successful when my car actually works. Yeesh.

Actually, my 1 year of film school and the excellent training I received has been the most valuable single year of education I ever had! It got me my first job out of college. In grad school I got to work with google video because of my video experience. Now i work in advertising as a web dev and my film background meant I was more valuable than a raw CS person.
