I'm sure it will. We'd be to embarrassed to answer now in case the answer not the obvious one
|

Hah! Very little embarrasses me - except praise, of course, I'm not used to that...

Well, I had completely forgotten it was my turn today. Just made this up quickly in order to post one before the time.

Nope, I still have no idea. Keep it amongst the usual three of four of you.

But I am not one of them.

Ahh, Pasta.. I should have thought about it once. Guess what I was trying to relate it with spaghetti, though I did not know the spellings of "Spaghetti" (then I googled it )

Yep, that's correct. You are up tomorrow.

No need to remind me. It's just that recently work seems to keep recurringly interfering with my CP responsibilities.
Clue has been posted!
Cheers!

Heretic!

If only I had something else instead of work to pay the rent and my bills.

Then it is spam.
I mean, how hard could it be? Just provide a link already. And don't bleeding make me log in to unsubscribe from crap that I didn't sign up for in the first place. Many of the offenders are seemingly well known companies too. And it really pisses me off when unchecking everything doesn't make the mail stop.
There, now I feel much better.

Thank block the sender...

Better block the sender. The unsubscribe link is the best way to confirm that your email address is actually a real address with someone reading it : you click on unsubscribe, the site flags your email as "valid", and you are up for even more spam.

I've already got a spam filter. Its the legitimate sites (that I've really created accounts on) that I'm talking about.

My wife had a problem with a site like this, once. She joined a teacher's organization and she kept getting all sorts of offers from them. In this case, unsubscribe didn't work.
I solved the problem by using an SMTP app I wrote for such a purpose: it sends as many copies of an email as I wish, and very quickly. My message was as follows:
"I told you to unsubscribe me from your offers. If 100 requests isn't enough I can send a lot more.".
They sent a reply wherein they indicated their feelings were hurt - but they got the message and the email stopped.
It also has the ability to spoof return addresses, randomly generate them, slightly modify the title and content, etc., when one is of a mind to dole out punishment. You can always get an email from the WhoIs site of someone who can get their attention once you get theirs.

I only sent you one video of kittens. Geez, lighten up already. I get the message now.

I don't trust _unsubscribe_ links.
It feels like phishing to me. Don't trust them at all.

I wrote a quick email app that went something like this:
string address = "spammer@yourserver.com";
string subject = "REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAILING LIST";
string body = "Every time I get an unsolicited email from you, I will send you 100,000 respones. Have a nice day";
MailClass mailClass = new MailClass();
for(int x = 0; x < 100000; x++)
{
mailClass.SenMail(address, subject, body);
Thread.Sleep(5000);
}
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I always mark them as spam.
The last several months have been really bad for my Yahoo account (yeah, I know... Yahoo). My friend is having the same problem. I think I signed up for some legit site where some jerk stole my email and sold it to a bunch of spammers. I probably get the same amount of spam in my Gmail account, but it's smart enough to nuke them for me.

we as a software developer get more chance to work with global customers as compare to other industry, different native language may be a problem sometimes for better communication but is it okay to reject some talented person just because he/she is not good with other languages? he/she is strong in doing what he is assign to do but with less good communication skills.
According to you how much weightage should be given to such soft skills in overall development of a candidate?

Depends on the company, depends on the country.
In the UK, it's uncommon for employees to speak anything other than English (Welsh and other regional languages like Geordie and Yorkshire excepted) so it's not a requirement.
In other countries like Switzerland, multilingualism is the norm, and a good command of English, German (or more likely Switzerdeutsch), and probably French is pretty much expected.
If a role requires talking to people in a language - perhaps a close working relationship with a Japanese or Chinese company - then a good command of that language would only be a benefit.
But for most software developers, the regional language is sufficient, though a good command of English can help a lot with the documentation!
