For the last two positions I've held, both were obtained with phone interviews.
The first one, I was living in Canada, position was in the U.S. - two hour interview; one hour with developers at the site; one hour with the recruiting firm. Stayed at that position for almost 13 years.
Current position, 30 minute interview (company was local to me so it could have been onsite, but phone suited all of our needs). Interview was technical in nature: in depth knowledge of the product suite to be used. Have been here for almost 2 years.
So, they can have value and have worked well for me.

It all stems from that BBC thing a few years ago, where they "proved" that it's easier to tell if someone's lying, over the phone.
HR types obviously think they're too good at lying for anyone to catch them out.

I do phone interviews to get a general feel for a candidate. The reason being that I have wasted a ton of time in face to face interviews with people that I wondered if they knew how to turn on a PC, let alone do any programming.
If the short phone screen goes well, we bring the candidate in for a face to face interview. It has saved me about 15 scheduled face to face interviews, by eliminating the people that bloat their resumes and have no substance to back it up.

During my recent unemployment phase, I interviewed with five companies (and engaged countless recruiters). Four of the companies initiated the process with a Skype interview and the fifth company had me doing two phone interviews the first day.
I don't mind the Skype interviews, but straight phone interviews are not my bag either.

So I was googling for something entirely different (a shrubbery), and I came up with the following. I simply don't get the idea, so maybe somebody can enlighten me...
Clickety[^]
Mostly in Danish, but it was the pictures that got my attention.
So what I don't understand is of course: Why is there no bacon hat???

It's hats. Made of meat.
You know, hats: head covers for protection against elements and dangers, as well as promoting a certain self-image. Hats can be made of different materials. Meat is a material commonly found in animals and humans.

So I quite fancy a Synology DS213...
I'll use it mainly for simple file serving to share between all the computers chez nous.
But would like to also have my iTunes library, and home photos/videos shareable.
And on occasion probably stream a video to the TV
Question is, my dear technophiles,
DS213J, DS213, DS213AIR or DS213+
Or is there something better for a similar price?

There is something similar for a bit lower price (at least in Poland)
Check ZyXEL NSA series [^]. I'm happy user of one of those and my first choice was also Synology.

I recently bought a used Dell poweredge to do storge and some SQL stuff off fleebay. Only cost a few hundred bucks, works like a champ (if a little loud) and does everything I need including housing some VMs.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
