mIRC scripting at the age of 12 in 1995.

While sending passwords in plain text via e-mail is something that should be frowned upon, the e-mail itself is not evidence that they store your password in plain text.

CRAZY THOUGHT: If this http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Aug/76 , then they might have network access to Facebook?

Could anyone briefly explain what consequences this could have for us?

So, i can be a d*ck as long as i'm smart?

Edit: I'm disturbed by the amount of grammar nazi's here that think the quality of someone's grammar reflects their personality...

If the goal is to keep the conversation civilized, why not do something along the lines of "Doing X is a more nice thing to do".

I think the advice you give is interesting, though i'm more curious to hear why you think people should use a recruiter in the first place? I can see the potential training or retouching of a CV, but i feel somewhat confident that i got that right. So then, what's left?

And isn't the harassment a trade-off for, as what i perceive, being too lazy to find a job yourself?

In the Netherlands the situation is pretty much the same. I personally never use recruiters to find a job. I had put my CV shortly up on a website and got harassed months after with job vacancies that didn't even relate to my CV. Most developers around me also hold a grudge against recruiters and see it, like mentioned in your article, as a necessary evil.

It's not nice being treated as livestock.

It's a trap!

Silly patents. TIL it's possible to patent cross-selling methods.
