Asbjørn Heid “Must have comprehensive understanding of compression algorithms, frequency/spatial domain representation and analysis, etc. Experience writing optimized FFT code a plus, especially if open-source and using IA-64 assembler (x64 not applicable.) Applications must have published papers in recognized journals implementing new wavelet algorithms within the past two years.”
In all seriousness, this brings back the memory of a C# programmer position I saw an ad for back in 2003 or 2004 on Monster.com I’m pretty sure it was. It called for 5 years experience with .Net…
Lars Fosdal the freeways in germany are multithreaded (minimum 2 lanes) and they have a lot of “data” exchanged between their threads. And sometimes the load balancing between the threads even works^^
I flawlessly executed my tasks on the Autobahn, some years ago. I remember being initially surprised over how many locations that were named “Ausfahrt”, as those information signs looked like Norwegian location name signs 🙂
A quick lookup in TDictionary cleared out that confusion 🙂
What if drivers would drive like programmers code? …
Stefan Glienke I’m certain I’ve seen the results several times… 😛
And for the love Gibbs… if you absolutely must save text with jpeg, crank up the quality slider or whatever.

Stefan Glienke I sense a conspiracy…

We had a good laugh about that on IRC.
Asbjørn Heid I guess only Anders Hejlsberg and his team would have met that requirement 🙂
If that was true for real, I’d still have a plausible income 🙂
Asbjørn Heid Was it an advert for a government position? If so, I suspect it was a trap for time travellers 😉

>What if drivers would drive like programmers code?
I whish they would… No more traffic jams on freeways because of truck accidents, just a git revert and every one is happy 🙂
Fabian S. Biehn Well, if we consider traffic to be multithreaded, there would probably be a deadlock or race condition at every intersection 😛
Lars Fosdal The cheapest cars just explode (deadlock victim) and the road is clear again :p

And yes, sometimes you have deadlocks: http://osa.fiit.stuba.sk/os/11/deadlock.jpg
Fabian S. Biehn That’s one awesome grid lock 😀
