Actually, it's really quite amazing. My gf used to be a HR recruiter for a large firm, and they dig pretty dang deep sometimes when it comes to some of the larger corporations out there.
As far as the statement:
"If an employer takes that much solace in what a random 3rd party says then you don't want to work for them anyway."
I would say that I would WANT to work for that employer, because they want to make sure that their people are top notch.
As far as "Take responsibility and move on", yep... that's exactly the attitude they should have. It comes down to integrity in the end, if you've lead a life that wasn't too "quiet", then be prepared for those waves that you've made to come back and resonate off of you.
You know what... let's just can the 360, the PS3, and by the way, lets get rid of computers too. Of course it's Nintendo's fault for allowing web browsing on the Wii. Why don't the right folks take the dang responsibility and just can Al Gore... I mean he invented "Internet" in the first place right?
The PARENTS need to start taking some control and responsibility in teaching their kids what is wrong and what is right. The PARENTS need to get a little I.T. savvy and start realizing that all they need to do is purchase a Router that has parental controls on it, and then they can restrict their kids to whatever website they want with those parental controls.
If they want to get their kids electronic hardware with web access, then PARENTS need to start learning a bit about how to control the access.
But of course, it's always better to blame the device and not the user right?
You know... I see a lot of comments on here about how if you do have a problem with PalmOS that there a big user base that can help you out... how things come bundled with PalmOS, etc...
What a load of crap. Has anyone ever tried to sync their contacts list in Outlook with a Palm based system? I had a TungstenT3 and I hated it. It wasn't very customizable, the terminology wasn't industry standard when it did offer the customizability.
When I have any operating system I expect it to work. I don't want to have to tweak it here, do this there, and dance with maraccas around a mexican hat. I want the product to work. Period.
I currently have the Cingular 8125 or HTC Wizard as it's called, and it comes with Windows Mobile 5, and it just works. No desktop manager to install. Just plug it in and it syncs fine with Outlook and transfers all your data. Oh... and by the way... it also came with Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. Oh yeah... it also has a PDF reader and if I would bother with the Data package it'll behave just like a Blackberry and give me all my email while on the road... Let PalmOS do that for you.
Non-customizable, "I-have-to-be-a-moron-to-run-it" OS. And if you want it to be able to do other things you have to download plugins galore... Oh it's a great MobileOS. PalmOS sucks and is just as unstable as all the other Mobile OSes.

.000000000030292821 of the world's population does NOT live on the planet.
How did I get that number?
World Population = 6,602,224,175 (and counting)
American Citizens on the Space station = 2
2 / 6,602,224,175 = 3.0292821*10^-10
