I would first test a candidate's writing skills in the local language. In my experience, a person who cannot organize his/her thoughts well enough to write them down in their own language is incapable of doing so in a computer language.
As most technical documentation is available only in English, I think that a working knowledge of Technical English is very important. In an international project, speaking and writing Business and/or Technical English are also essential.
Having said that, I would not disqualify a candidate because he speaks the local dialect of English rather than the Queen's English or American. However, if the position requires writing documentation for international clients - either the Queen's English or American is required. A candidate that cannot write either of these would be disqualified.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I sometimes get the impression that prospective developers seem to think "how to" is the only English they need *sigh*

If the candidate isn't applying for a job that requires him to come up with strings that get displayed to an end user, then as long as he can communicate effectively with other team members, I wouldn't automatically disqualify an otherwise good coder.
That said, if I may rant for a second, I'm French-Canadian, and I despise non-English versions of any operating system or software. It's all a big waste of resources IMO.

Wow, and this clown wants to be president. Very scary

He'll still be better than Obama.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Got my vote! Especially since Carly probably won't get to play this time around.

Scarier than the incumbent clown?!

He wouldn't be the first idiot president.

That's exactly what this country needs. We can go to hell in a handbasket, but hey we're gonna have cooked bacon on our trip to hell.

Nothing to read.
It is a video.
So there is no ideological add-on.
On top of that, it is fun to watch.
And it has got bacon in it!

Is IE gone in windows 10?
Is Edge the best browser ...(can't keep straight face)... you've ever used?
Why no mentions of Edge? Is it not in there?
What up, Win10 Users?

Seems there was some post about Edge last week

OH, I missed it. I searched the forum before posting, but CP Forum search does not work very well.
Ah, such is the programming life.

Is edge the result of their "spartan" (if memory serves me right) project? The complete re-write of their browser?
Edit: After a bit of googling... it appears edge is the result of project spartan. It's a bit odd that they chose to use the IE-like logo, but I guess they're aiming to keep consistency for the non-tech savy crowd.

Not a complete rewrite; they just deleted zillions of lines of legacy support code and then worked on HTML5 support (much better than IE11 but still only on par with FF/Chrome from 2013) and performance where they're actually competitive on most major web benchmarks now.
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?

No. IE11 is still around - 11.0.10240.16384 on my PC.
And no. But I haven't used it for anything other than making sure my sites work.

What? I thought that was the thing...that IE was dead on Windows 10?
I thought it was all about Edge, but now it seems like IE 11 is there or something and no one is mentioning Edge. Microsoft is supposed to be so great at Marketing and they always mess this stuff up.
Color me, totally confused by the Microsoft-Hype-Machine.

It will be dead eventually. But they need it to be there for some time for backward compatibility. E.g., Edge does not support Flash and Silverlight.

That is hilarious. That is the huge innovation that Edge brings...No Silverlight, No Flash.
Wow, how did they think of such amazing technological advancement as "removing plugins..."? Oohh, ahhhhh..
No wonder Microsoft is a Innovation Leader. hahahahahaha < insert maniacal laughter here >
Hilarious.
