The world is moving to 64-bit computing even though it isn’t always faster or more efficient than 32-bit. A lot of programs run faster on 32-bit than on 64-bit, for a variety of reasons. One example of this is the 64-bit JIT compiler in .NET. It does a great job of making your program run fast, but it’s not a fast program itself. All that’s about to change: a new, next-generation x64 JIT compiler that compiles code twice as fast is ready to change your impressions of 64-bit .NET code. "Hadouken!"

That’s what he told the gathered tech heads at the recent XOXO conference in Portland, Oregon, and while he may have said this with tongue partly in cheek, he spent the next 30 minutes unloading his unified theory of the global computer network, an interpretation formed after 20 years of hard thinking — to say nothing of his experience creating seminal internet companies Blogger and Twitter.

Then don't make them stinky

Or was that a "Britches? We don't need no stinking britches"?

John McAfee lived up to his reputation Saturday as tech's most popular wild child, electrifying an audience with new details of his plan to thwart the NSA's surveillance of ordinary Americans with an inexpensive, pocket-size gadget.

Quote: 5. Listing work experience in descending order.
 I found it hard to match the explanation with the definition of "Descending". The way I understand descending is from recent year to early year. And I don't know how it affect your resume.Correct me if I'm wrong.

Looks like it's more the "resume advice guy" definition of descending versus the programmer/DBA definition of descending. In other words, it should be as the explanation describes: most recent job first.
I'm guessing that some people in this case view descending as "starting with the earliest", which would be wrong (and dumb, IMO).
