What's the difference between a used care salesman and a tech recruiter? The used car salesman knows he's lying. Sure it's a joke but there is a lot of truth to that statement.
I can only confirm this. After many encounters with recruiters over the years, I tend to get really surprised when I stumble upon one who is not completely dishonest. Remember folks, a recruiter has the capacity to screw your life very badly, so practice caution.
The problem is that people view social networking as just some sort of big ole' party. Most people I know can't believe I won't accept any and every Facebook friend request. For me, it is someone I know that I would consider a friend, even if fairly distantly. For most people, the more the merrier. They just say "yes" to anything.
And this disproves one of the greatest fallacies about social networks, the one that somebody's network of contacts is an evidence of his identity.
no thank you.
I have been always wondering, why is the public (over)concerned about Google mining and their users' data, but not Yahoo, Skype, Microsoft et al?
The media and us spies can't control what we decide to believe or say and write. Faces hidden behind their desks, they only control whatever truths or lies newspapers print, not the rest of us. I smell a rat and call it BS. The original story is from a tabloid, who have no reputation or scruples. Easily corrupted. The other papers just repeat the tabloid, risking none of their reputation.
Don't forget that the first one to report this news was Expressen, the only competitor to Aftonbladet, the "newspaper" Assange was supposed to write for. Coincidence? You tell me.
Didn't dare to login as I am sure to be modded down.
First of all I would like to state that I am NOT a racist. Sweden has a huge problem with immigrants committing crime and they are responsible for a huge majority of the assault rapes and other rapes as well. The Swedish media is of course covering this up, but if we look at Norway for example the case is the same there. And lets not forget Sweden takes in much more immigrants than Norway.
It is very sad for the freedom of speech and democracy in Sweden that people who point out the downsides of massive and often uncontrolled immigration have to defend themselves from being labeled as "racists".
Let me congratulate you for your bravery to write this, anonymously or not.

I am too, free speech lets me easily identify sociopaths and general nutcases I don't want to be around quite often.
Who are sociopaths and general nutcases? Those who are aware of the reality, in which gang leaders run their gangs even while incarcerated? In which the worst criminals corrupt the judges and jurors and laugh in the face of their victims, the honest citizens, and the justice system?
Yeah, shoot the sociopathic messenger, who is a general nutcase...
I hate it when filmmakers are just a little too prophetic.
The purpose of science fiction is not to predict the future, but warn about it.
Mexico is a failed state well on its way to anarchy. This is a country that can't even keep its police chiefs from getting assassinated by drug cartel thugs, and they think iris scanners are going to make a damned bit of difference? Give me a break.
This comment fully deserves a +5 score, but why is it modded as "Funny"? This is not funny, it's the tragic truth of Mexico's brutal reality.
Much the same may be said of the United States. Out of seven major signs of being a third world country with a first world public image, it is exhibiting seven.

They need an effective police state, and a Pinochet, a Franco, or other ruler who has enough leverage to kill anyone who is a threat to good citizens.
There is a point where the strictly limited and extremely restrained legalistic ways which are practical in stable countries do not work.
War, not law, is then necessary to kill and destroy the enemies of the people. Mexico is a failed state, and the way to put those in order is to give orders, enforce them with force, and ensure the narco-warlords are killed so they cannot operate from prison.
In the US, by comparison, we have trivial crime rates, pampered lives, and are so comfortable we cannot even understand such situations.
I am glad that someone wrote this openly. The only way to fight the most dangerous and unrepentant criminals is to kill them.
However, I fear that some politically correct idiots will mod you down...
I'd rather work with someone who has a Facebook page full of comments, a selection of interests and some drunk pictures than the antisocial guy with no life.
Darn. That's me
Why the sad smiley? Knowing how much humanity sucks, is being "antisocial" really a bad thing?
I'd rather work with someone who has a Facebook page full of comments, a selection of interests and some drunk pictures than the antisocial guy with no life.
I, on the other hand, have learned to trust an "antisocial guy with no life" much more than I trust an insincere, aggressively extroverted asslick with a compulsive need to be "friends" with absolutely everybody.
The only thing Facebook hasn't tried to buy is 4chan.
Watch, now that I said that... the next hot new product == facebook.com/b/
Acquisition of 4chan could only increase the intellectual value of Failbook.
Now the question is, who at Four Square turned down the offer, and how badly are they crapping their pants?
Doing PR for Zuckerberg in your spare time, eh CmdrTaco? How utterly pathetic.
