i will go you one further and say that the more open style of braces would have shown the bug quite clearly
if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.update( &hashCtx, &signedParams)) != 0)
{
   goto fail;
   goto fail;
   if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.final( &hashCtx, &hashOut)) != 0)
   {
      goto fail;
   }
}
// if you always put a brace on the line after the evaluation of an if, and tab in, the nesting will be obvious.

But time measured with these clocks is warmer and more authentic, and therefore more fulfilling.

and that's the stupidest thing I ever heard.

And no matter what temperature a room is, it's always room temperature.

Dear Slashdot, stop creating your own content. You suck at it.

that is getting sick of this content-free, slashdot echo chamber, clickcrack stuff. Hey Slashdot, why do you need whole nuther site to post original articles? And why do those articles make such a deafening sucking sound?
Problem is that I would be interested in a reasoned look at MongoDB v Dynamo but my experience with http://slashdot.org/topic/bi/ is not to waste my time by reading TFA.

Nobody on Slashdot or otherwise will see a kitchen with lasers that show you how to cut fish. The idea is idiotic. The response about the quality of cooking instructions on deh interwebs is surprisingly even more idiotic.

whoosh

just show him this http://xkcd.com/844/

or butterflies and rainbows!
no, wait! we will fill them with hugs and kisses!

The trick to managing technical people is knowing what you don't know and allowing technical experts do their job without infuriating them with stupid questions.
-- ask some technical questions, make sure at least a few the candidate will not know the answer to. If they fake it rather than saying "I don't know" PASS
-- give a situation to deal with (the server is down) and ask "what do you want me to do?" if it is anything other than "fix it and let me know the details only after you are done" PASS
