Does anyone have a suggestion on the best place to advertise a new position opening for a .Net Developer? We have an add on Craigs list now but did not get a lot of response.
Your thoughts

Maybe try Stack Careers. I'm not sure how well it works, but from what I've seen, there are some good programmers there.
What kind of job exactly? I'm looking for one atm.

If I were still living in North Chelmsford, I may have have contacted you.

You might try a little more formatting in your ad, I personally felt a little disconcerted.
A good portion of your intended audience tend to be a little pedantic and will find the lack of periods and overall look as somewhat unprofessional.
Have a look at some of the other ads to see what I mean. If your potential applicants don't feel you've put in some amount of effort how are they to think your company is being run.
I mean this to be helpful, not to poke fun at your ad.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

If your ever in the Twin Cities, you'll have to stop by and take her for a spin.
To be honest I got lucky when I got it for only 1K. The previous owner was an idiot kid who had abused it and didn't know what a nice guitar she actually is. It's a joy to play.

From the Requirements section:
B.S. degree in Computer Science
I've known a few devs with qualifications like that.

Would you hire someone off of CraigsList? Didn't think so!

A soccer mom just walked in to my PC shop saying she had deleted all the pictures from her phone and now wants them all back. I said, you deleted all your baby pictures, did you have a backup? Knowing full well no soccer mom backs up anything deliberately. She said she thought it was all on the cloud. I asked her just for illustration, "Where is the cloud". She shrugged.
That's just great you cloudies. Just great.
Yes we're going to try to un-delete them, but for cryin out loud, why give the innocent and the ignorant (one of the same) the false sense that there is some sort of white cloud looking over them?
Tornadoes are clouds too ya know.
Stupid Cloud.....

Let's be honest here for a moment.
Your criticism is spot on but the fact of the matter is that even if she had them on her home computer they'd be doomed to die on a failing hard drive or, perhaps, backed up on a lost disk tucked away in the basement somewhere.
Had she managed to get them onto the "cloud" they'd be lost behind a forgotten password or a closed service a couple of years down the road.
I guess what I'm saying is the moment this woman went digital she was doomed to lose the pictures.

Or we could stop treating users as sheep being led to the slaughter and (collectively, as an industry) work to make it so things like this are less likely to happen.

I'm all in favour of that - but I suspect it'll never happen while there is money to be made from backup software (that they don't use after the first time), recovery software (that they try to use too late)...
Mind you, Google is impressing me with it's interface to my Nexus 7 - people and appointments and so forth get backed up automatically to my G+ account and I don't have to think about it. It's a start!

It's not even limited to G+. On my phone it's syncing everything with Hotmail.
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!

Let me know how that works out for you.
User manuals, instructional videos, community college courses, forums, Google and the like all remain unused by this oblivious woman completely unaware of what she has in her hand or what she is even talking about when it comes to technology.
Unless of course you're talking about some sort of government mandated course with Inquisition style tortures for those who fail to take the class or don't succeed in passing the final exam. If you're proposing that I'm on board.

I think what Chris is talking about is making it work right out of the box - so that if the handset is broken, lost, or the files are deleted, they have been already backed up without her attention.
Of course, this raises the media hackles and leads to "Google is stealing my pictures of my naked baby on a bearskin rug" type stories...

Doing the backup 'out of the box' doesn't solve the underlying problem.
If she doesn't understand the technology enough to know whether or not her photos are backed up then she doesn't understand it enough to retrieve the photos - has no clue about archiving, storage limits, or the terms of her storage. This clueless dingbat could have signed an agreement to upload the pictures to child porn sites - she wouldn't know either way.
Here is the deal: Technology takes an investment of time to understand and use.
You cannot build a device that will ensure the safety of someone who refuses to take the time to understand what they are using. If you don't have the time to learn then you don't need the technology despite what you've been brainwashed to believe. Don't blame the industry because salesmen talk people into buying crap they don't need.
How's that for a rant?
