An important corollary would be his views on a woman slapping a man. There was a time when slaps directed at either gender were both acceptable.
As the stylish Mr. Noël Coward (a friend of Mr. Connery) once said: "Women should be struck regularly. Like gongs."
If I hire you, can I get a 3 digit slashdot id?

Why is that? I've been reading it for years (given at a high threshold) and it seems like the same old slashdot to me. It's also a great deal friendlier place than this one.
It's also a great deal friendlier place than this one My experience has been the the opposite, I stopped contributing to user forum based sites after I left /. and did not do so for a long time. I read HN for a while before deciding that it was home, and it was, because in my perception, there was a lot less "I'm the smartest guy in the room" conversations. Take that with a grain of salt though, because it has been a…
That's an odd résumé, which doesn't look at all like a software engineer résumé. Is this intentional or is CmdrTaco not an engineer at all? Programming languages? Frameworks? Specifics about the scaling and daily operations of /.? It's also pretty light on the kind of position he's looking for. If I were hiring engineers, I honesty wouldn't know what to do with such a résumé.
I think it is safe to say that CmdrTaco is more than just a "mere" engineer.
Which tells me there's something wrong with it.
Rob -- you're like Superman. Could Superman have a resume? Seems like you'd just give them a card that said "I'm f*cking CmdrTaco, damnit!" (The reference here is to a famous fake letter said to be from Sean Connery to Steve Jobs http://www.exophrine.com/2011/06/sean-connery-to-steve-jobs-... ) Seriously, it brings up a good point. If you have lots of name recognition, what's the best way to look for work? I'd sugges…
Not really a fan of this, but made me think of Matt Mullenweg's business card: http://paulstamatiou.com/im-2-on-google The card reads: 1. Go to Google. 2. Type 'Matt.' 3. Click 'I feel lucky.' Edit: Added what the card reads instead of just the article link.
Objective: To use all of my skills to change the world for the better. Again. I normally glance at career objectives, sigh, roll my eyes, and move on to the the meat of the resume, but this one is actually good. Anyone searching for a job, do yourself a favor and follow CmdrTaco's lead. Your career objective shouldn't be long or full of bullshit corporate speak, and if it is that will hurt you more than it helps.

Digg's not quite dead yet; not sure it needs the brackets.
This seems to be true. Can anyone explain the downvotes? According to Alexa, Digg is the 190th most popular site in the world. It shows traffic holding steady for the past few months. And clicking on the pageviews tab shows that pageviews have dropped over the last year+ but not extradramatically.

(Keep in mind that the scale is logarithmic.)
As a website owner, I would love it if my site were dying like Digg.
