Yet they spoke to CEOs from tech companies...which means you did not read it....

Sounds like the guy who developed the Zune....

LMOL yeah because that's what you said zippy. Love your insipid comparison. The point stands: you don't know the experience of either candidate. You need to confirm what they know. Assuming experience based solely on a person's degree is short sighted and ignorant.

Something you would understand if you possessed critical thinking skills.

And yet the question still stands: can either of them program and how do you know? If you are assuming that the candidate with a CS degree can program based solely on the degree, than you are a first class ass and a lousy recruiter. It does not take a CS degree to know how to program. In fact a lot of companies administer a test to understand the capabilities of the candidate.

So you graduated from Devry...

LMOL uh yeah not quite. It just requires you to be able to solve equations. Critical Thinking is much bigger than problem solving.

The problem is you are dick riding on the science portion of STEM, because the technology portion, a.k.a computer programmers are clueless twits. To them there's two kinds of music: country and western.

FYI critical thinking skills are developed through courses in logic. Taking a class in biology, or calculus is not going to imbibe you with the knowledge of critical thinking. You need more than that to develop critical thinking skills.

Yes, yes they are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.... Again proving the point of the article.

Coming from someone who never managed a project...

Nice generalization. So you prefer a fool to wisdom. Which makes you what now, an ass....

You're talking computer programming versus Artificial Intelligence. Most people are not reading a paper by Alan Turing in a computer programming course.

And many of them manage engineers :0 and climb the corporate ladder faster than engineers :o

Wow so people are too stupid to use a computer that Microsoft is doing them a favor....wow.....

Given your level of intellectual capacity, try 18th century.

LMOL yes Dell is forced to sell Windows. Just like Samsung, HTC, and other android device sellers pay Microsoft a fee for selling android devices.
