It's always boggled my mind that something that displays music, video and images can expose such massive security holes - holes big enough to take out your entire system.
Flash is dead precisely because it's so scary to everyone. If they'd put the effort in to making it actually lean, secure and performant it would be a standard and we'd be done.
(and thank God they didn't make it lean, secure and performant. Die, Flash, die.)

The resume offers an at-a-glance view of your past and present. If you want to get your foot in the door, be sure you avoid these missteps. But printing it in Comic Sans is still fine?

A few make sense, but I really don't understand why would someone have to leave out their birth date in order to conceal their age?
Maybe because I am not old enough for that to be a problem. Can someone explain this one, please?

It is obvious that CV writing standard has variations over countries...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Yes, of course it does. I am just looking for an example of when that would be wrong or inappropriate as I cannot think of one.

One of my old managers actually suggested that it's not unheard of for people to also omit their name and any reference to their gender to completely eliminate the potential for discrimination.
I don't know how different companies would react to an anonymous CV though.

It is to avoid ageism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageism[^]. Yes a younger person will generally not have experienced this but as they get older many do. In many countries it is not even legal to require a respondent to give their age, marital status, religion etc.

That's why I didn't know, I am not old enough yet 
I started my first job about a year ago and no one made fuss of me putting my date of birth on my CV. I mean they saw it sooner or later on my identity card anyway.

I've never heard of anyone putting a birthdate on a resume. WTE? 
|
|
|
|

I have put it on. I figured, sooner or later they will find out how old I am anyway. But I was applying for my first job, so I'm not quite old enough to experience selection based on age.
I guess, I'll have to remember that one.

Always wondered if writing "I'm wasting oxygen in this world"...is it lying or a spare-time hobby?

Prepending "On Error" to it?

Microsoft has begun notifying users that they will be shutting down several apps that include Photosynth, MSN Food & Drink, MSN Health & Fitness and MSN Travel. I'm sure they will be missed?

They already have been missed a lot, finally someone hit that darn target.

Hacking Team has warned that a devastating data breach it suffered will allow its spying tools to be used by criminals and terrorists. "Hack the planet! Hack the planet!"

Implying that it hasn't already been used by hardcore criminals.  Just look at the list of their clients.

The upside is patches will be applied to exploits they knew about and never reported for money; Hacking Team sells weaknesses in code for exploitation and personal gain.
Sounds like karma in action, to me.
