I think that programmers often encounter a culture clash with recruiters. A recruiter has a client (and it's not you) and has to fill a large number of positions. I have had some awful experiences. Once, the recruiter sent a modified versio

Uh, no; that's not how VAT works. If you buy a new property then the promotor, builders, carpinters, painters, architects etc can all claim back any VAT paid for services, supplies or materials. If you are buying second-hand, then the prev

Innocently daft question coming up: As I understand, you can run web.py apps behind lighttpd, and the web server handles the processes. E.g. in lighttpd.cfg you can set {"max-procs" => 4} and I would see 4 instances of my web.py script
