I hope EMP stands for the ElectroMagnetic Pulse that should be applied to the companies server...

RE: Waaaaa!
I'd buy a teaser, so you can tell him when you think he's taking it too far...

RE: No, I want the wrong ones.
Well, accepting your faults is not too bad for starters, i suppose...

RE: This is the guy we hired
If you want to remain employable, I suggest taking the approach with the mace in the dark parking lot.

RE: This is the guy we hired
Or even better, get a piercing, so you can scare him in return.

No, I think you should take control of the situation and attack before he has the opportunity. I'm thinking baseballbat. With a few big nails driven through the end.
something along the lines of this?

RE: This is the guy we hired
Thats a messy affair indeed. You should 'coincidentally' meet him in the parking lot in the evening, seemingly alone, with several company security guards lying in wait (hidden), ready to protect you in case he attacks you, and if he doesn't, you will know for sure that you can trust him...

RE: This is the guy we hired
I'm not really a tatoo-guy-expert, but if he shows signs of violence you should definitely not hire him. (disclaimer: SARCASM)

Gee i wonder why? Could it be that people disagree with your incredibly stupid posts
and in your case by "posts" i mean "the insane rantings of a semi-managerial little man"
Was that necessary? Just because you disagree with him, thats no reason to be rude, especially since two posts before you, CodeWhisperer has already explained the same thing.
Back on topic:
Wearing a suit to an interview is just good manners; it will likely improve the interviewers opinion of you, but will not make you a better person or a better programmer. It is entirely left to you if you want to use that bonus or not, but your chances should not really be greatly affected by it.

Cpound, i don't have a bullring, but i do have four piercings in my
face, but then again most of the programmers i know have at least one
piercingYou sound like one scary looking "dude". So do your friends.
Gee personal attacks on someone, how adult of you.
When it comes down to "personal attacks" and "adult", try reading some of the posts in response to CPound (who I dont particularly agree with, btw), like:
Well if it saves me from having to work for a dick like you then i guess it does.
or
Perhaps if you could actually use your brain a little bit
Now that IS adult, is it?
Seconldy, i DO think (and hope) that CPound was being sarcastic. He seems intelligent enough to me to be one to try some sarcasm now and then. This time it seems not to have worked out...
Anyway, I, myself, usually wear a suit for an interview, however, i wouldn't ever send someone away because he isn't wearing one. I also dont think that people should "have to wear suits now so that when harder times come, they'll still be hireable", because if those times come, and they desperately don't want to wear a suit to their interviews, and they don't get any more jobs, and subsequently starve, they learned it the hard way. I also trust, however, that they aren't going to starve and will still get a job, even without a suit...

RE: Ebay will sell *anything*
For me, searches for "stock shares" and "swiss chocolate" didn't return any ebay ads either, and these were just the twoI tried.

RE: Phone Software WTF
Its the same thing in almost every aspect of our PC life: Powerusers cant poweruse the PC anymore, because they have to spend all their power on restoring their pc to a usable level after almost every action they didnt perform themselves. Companies are apparently not satisfied anymore with producing software for BDU's but for SUPER-BDU's... I really wonder why people think I need:
- A daemon app that checks for updates on my BIOS
- An item in my context menu (!) to start the importer for my camera
- A system tray icon that lets me acces the zips I last used (they arent called 'archive' because I use them daily...)
- A certain game that has a single .avi file (the intro menu) and associates all the .avi's with itself
- My Windows(tm) hiding half the content of almost any menu from me because i didn't use that particular item during the last five minutes
- A separate Sound/Volume Controller for each and any friggin app that is remotely related to sound
- A six-step wizard to print a simple picture from a certain rather well-known application to a simple sheet of paper once. I could have drawn it faster by hand
- An mp3 player that just opens like a virtual disk where i can put my mp3s on, unplug the device and start rocking instead of fighting through wave after wave of CD burning apps, iTunes, WMP, several oter sound apps, the sound app specially developed for my mp3 player (because just moving the files to the player would be waaaay too hard) and windows autoplay requests (I DONT want to autoplay it, I DONT want to get some friggin license out of the web, and I DONT want to synchronize anything)
- Google, Yahoo, MSN or any other Toolbar I didnt spend at least 5 minutes deliberately looking for.

RE: The Secretive Hidden InterNet Censors
I very much doubt most great-grandparents shared a profession/hobby/anything, since then the society needed almost as many different tasks to be done as today's. And btw. I just happen to know that none of my great-grandparents were trappers.
