How I interview software developers

I'm occasionally called on to do technical interviews and I've also mostly stopped paying much attention to the resume, for the same reasons. I find the tendency to throw every random technology you've ever even tangentially run across onto your resume especially vexing. I've seen many people with a huge acronym soup of java technologies/frameworks totally fail at FizzBuzz level exercises. On my own resume I'm trying to limit my skill list to things I at least semi-regularly use, but I feel that such an approach probably handicaps me wrt a certain class of recruiters, so I understand why people feel compelled to list everything.
