There are still bugs, I cannot change how many years of experience I have with languages. Currently stackoverflow thinks I have 10 (!) years of C# experience. That must mean I have designed the language...how can I change this?

This event is covered on TV, moreover it is covered on other sites which are more mainstream such as reddit, digg etc. I come here to read tech and startup news, this is not something I want to read about on HN. It is also a shame that user

That sounds exactly the kind of crowd that doesn't need dating sites, especially in NY, the supposed best city for singles ( http://www.forbes.com/2009/07/27/best-cities-singles-lifesty... ). Any reason why you are going for that?

So I would be interested in knowing which companies have better, more successful alternatives to tech interviews. Is there any reasons why companies still insist that low level detailed knowledge of a language is a good indication that some
