My company does white board interviews and I always make a point of telling the interviewee that I'm not looking for syntax and just want to see the overall algorithm and program flow. If he wants to make a library call and can't remember the args, I tell him to make it up - I don't care if he can remember a trivial fact that his IDE will tell him or that he'll find in a quick manual page lookup. (while I meant "he" as a gender-neutral pronoun, sadly, nearly all of our senior tech candidates are male, but one bright spot is that we've got near gender parity with college interns which I hope means the job market is becoming more balanced)
