Comment First things first... (Score 2, Insightful) 154

I'd shop around for a recliner that suits me, one that I feel comfortable in, one that doesn't tip over when I go all the way back. To keep the heat of the laptop from frying my family jewels, I'd use a Lapinator or something similar.

Get a chair that is comfortable for you, then use other items to meet your other criteria.

These odd requests started about 5 or 6 months ago and have been ramping up lately. Makes me wonder just what they originators are looking for?

If the CS grad did not take a course in Data Structures and Algorithms, or have verifiable knowledge on the topic, then the candidate wouldn't get past the first couple hours of interviewing.

It is not which languages you know, languages are merely the means to express your computer science knowledge.
