I speak from experience -- definitely the most uncomfortable, unrealistic, and literal BIZARRE screening+interview I've ever done. VS is truly a very VERY strange, awkard, and downright WEIRD company (in the most literal sense of the word). The best analogy I can give you is the Twilight Zone.

It's funny; had I gotten the job, the first two question out of my mouth would've been 1) "So which jackass came up with SiteFinder?", and 2) "And who gave the order to deploy it without consulting the entire Internet -- and at bare minimum, NANOG -- first?"

NXDOMAIN, here we go again...

quote:
According to Tom Galvin, VeriSign's vice president of government relations, opposition to the project comes from "an ideological belief by a narrow section of the technological community who don't believe you should innovate the core infrastructure of the Internet."


So breaking internet protocols like SMTP, etc. in an effort to boost your profits is what's considered innovation ? I'm starting to get the feeling that commercializing some parts of the internet wasn't a good idea. Verisign's job should have been given to a non-profit group.

I'm just glad most ISPs have patched their name servers to block sitefinder because Verisign can take their standards busting innovation and shove it.
