Der Übergeeken

If I were going to be interviewing someone for some computer-related job, I'd probably prepare a typical set of questions, but as soon as the person walked into the interview room, here's what would happen: I'd sit them down in front of a computer connected to the office's mighty T1, with some URL entered incorrectly into a browser. Something like http://www.google.co/, or preferably something that would give them an error page. Then I'd hit return and they'd have to fix it before the error could load.

If they can do that, they're hired. Otherwise, on with the questions.
