That's a great policy. It doesn't completely remove time or energy from the HR/hiring manager at Atlassian, but it clearly outlines objectives of working with recruiters with a very real, tangible penalty for spamming. Nice.

The order of items changes as you make more (or less) frequent use of each section. This has happened for a while, now on Yahoo.com. I don't think it's too presumptuous to think an infrequent user may want entertainment and sports

I am also a longtime fan of his from his BP days. Here's to hoping ESPN makes great use of his skills. Buried as a contributor to a late night program seems, on the surface, like a situation ripe for underutilization of his talents.

I had APCS around the time they were winding down C++ and ramping up Java. We had to implement BigInt, among other things, as part of our project (circa 2000). I believe the next years my friends had the fish simulation.
