I don't think anyone suggests people who commit horrible crimes of murders etc should be allowed to roam free.

Not executing != roam free

But it at least locking 'em up for 40+ years allows for the possibility of miscarriages of justice being rectified.

What the judge at the centre of this article isn't sane or reasonable?

I know, I know, you're not the one arguing he should be executed. Some people, eh?

And your advice is what? If the company's HR monkeys can't do their job properly then the whole company is fucked in the head, and don't deserve him??

I also graduated in the middle of a downturn; it sucks that zillions of shiny happy ex-students are chasing every opportunity - I totally believe that some HR bod will bin the CV/resume based on a 20 second google, after all there will be another dozen in the file next to his.

It's not so much that the company is looking for stupid reasons not to hire, but they are looking for ways to whittle down the short list of people to call for interview.

It sucks to be a graduate, with debits, and missing out on opportunities.

Just curious.

Also, sometimes I just can't wait until the powers-that-be release the TV series in my country, or get around to broadcasting it. I'd rather torrent the episode the day after the US broadcast, and then get the DVDs later to see the voice-overs/extras. (Heroes is one, currently The Big Bang Theory is in this category).

Additionally, sometimes the pirated versions are just better than the official releases. Especially if you speak a non-English language, and some kind people have subtitled the torrent for you.

Not just to mention the sometimes the stupid DVD menu navigation just sucks; a DVD +R with avi files are much more convenient than some three-level deep crap.

Really? I'd thought one of his strengths was supposed to be his personal incorruptibility.
