Re: a question regarding resumes
One of my colleagues here asks both technical questions and non-technical
gems like:
"It is the 15th century. How would you convince the pope that the
Earth is round?"
For many system administrators who must deal with upper management, I believe
that question can be very relevant. :-)
P.S. I am forever indebted to Paul Moriarty for that killer one-liner. I've
been using it for years. A true geek would be able to discuss that line in
great detail, mentioning what OSes it would or would not work on, what errors
there were (if any), and what it might be useful for. A fair but depressingly
small percentage get past the 'grep -v' (duh, verbose grep?), but xargs is
the one the really separates the men from the boys.
