and you don't want in on that? 
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

Same here... it's like they're not even trying. Of course, I just ignore them.

I remember when .NET was 1.1 and all the rage. Recruiters were regularly seeking 10 years of .NET experience for job candidates. It was silly then, it is silly now.

I recently got an email from a recruiter that wanted...
Get this...
Someone fluent in Klingon. Yes, Klingon.

I asked someone I know that works there (and gave him a printed copy of the email), and it turns out that the company has had issues with these guys before (the agency was fake, they took money but never sent any data to the actual companies, and they would send fake rejection emails). These things finally got the Indiana Department of <something> (can't remember what) on the case, causing the 'agency' to be shut down and all employees to be criminally convicted.

For such people, I have CVs ready with 10+ experience on every language and technology.
I have coded the first AOL forum with AJAX.
I used a super design pattern with delegates for the kernel of Messenger.
I also coded the software that piloted the GoPro that filmed Armonstrong on the Moon.

Just wondering where the world is going to.With all these massive data centers and "Clouds" just to check facebook and youtube....

There are teams of people trying to achieve AGI, yet somehow our office data, home photo collection and porn stash will come alive on the cloud on their own. If they did, I guess their first demand would be to have genitalia.

As a follow-up to this post[^] :
I have begun to use the latptop (Lenovo X240).
It comes with a 150Gb SSD drive, 88Gb are used for standard programs (20Gb alone for windows, rest for standard "company" SW I will never probably never use) which leaves me with 50Gb, so exactly 1/20th of what I had so far. But OK, I can access it faster...
Interesting keyboard layout: Natively, "End" and "Insert" are on the same key, and "Insert" is coupled with the F-keys, leaving "End" with the usual useless shortcut keys (for changing volume, brightness, firing up the browser, etc..) as you can toggle between F-keys and useless keys with F-Lock  . Which means that I can either use the F-keys, or the "End" key, but not both at the same time, unless combining the F-keys with the Fn key. To close a window, hit Fn+Alt+F4. Debug, hit Fn+F5.
So I mapped the Insert key on the End key using SharpKeys[^], which means I cannot use "Insert" anymore, but I can live with that. ( I also remapped the obsolete SHOUTING Caps Lock key on Shift).
This is the second time the keyboard layout designer needs to be killed though.
The mouse/touchpad is quite terrible as well...
Apart from that, it runs nicely.  The speed is awesome, even with twice as less memory than before ; SSDs are definitely huge improvements for the global performance.

My colleague bought a new laptop and had me set it up for her. I can't remember which brand it is but between the horrible touchpad (with the left/right buttons built into it and without clearly defined boundaries) and Win8 had me slinging expletives!  It wasn't long before I found a mouse for the bastard! Good luck getting used to it. Sounds like you are starting to like it!

Don't like touchpad much either. My LEAST favorite "feature" of the touchpad is Tapping. The act of placing my finger on the stupid thing will sometimes select stuff. My smartphone does that as well but not as bad.

My newest laptop has begin, end, pg up, pg down mapped to function + arrow keys. At first I hated it, but now I wish all keyboards worked that way.
My other laptop has them all along the top bar which gets annoying fast.
