I'd think it the potential cheatability would depend on what the record shown was.
Little/unknown project with the candidate as the primary/only submitter would raise a red flag.
Claiming to own an inactive account with a pseudonym and being unable to prove ownership of the code because 'I don't have that email address anymore' zillions of red flags.
On the other hand an account that's been active for an extended period of time on a project with 3rd party use and multiple devs (not a sham project/copy pasta fraud), with the account linked to the candidates email (not claiming to be someone else) seems like it'd be a reasonable indicator of what the person can do.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Heck, I don't join OS projects. I create OS projects.
Oh, and should I mention 160 articles?

I wish it were that easy. Sadly, contributing to Code Project, having a couple community oriented websites, etc., it's like talking to a wall with most recruiters, except you don't even hear the faint echo of your own voice. Black hole is more like it. It's really weird, like they can't think outside of the box of questions that they have.

A “massive and concerted attack” has been launched by a bot system on numerous bitcoin exchanges, leading to popular exchange Bitstamp putting a temporary halt on all bitcoin withdrawals.
Keep a close eye on those Bitcoin wallet apps. There be pickpockets afoot...

Yeah, because that's a really smart idea. So what about if people had wanted to withdraw their money to less popular exchanges while the big ones are being hit? "Nope sorry, you have to have all your money held hostage with us."

Created by Ruby on Rails development and consulting firm thoughtbot, gitsh allows users to issue any Git commands, instead of having to run Git commands in general-purpose shells like Zsh or Bash.
No more having to write Git over and over again!

The top ten quality is getting degraded over time period.
