We're looking for someone in the Nashville area for a full-time job as our in-house Drupal developer. I've looked on Elance, but most people advertising there are looking for what the site's name suggests: freelancing (or are established dev houses looking for work). We'd prefer someone in the area, office attendance is a plus, but telecommuting is feasible as well.

What's the best way to actually look for and hire a web dev like this?

I usually put out a sweet video card in a starbucks or something like that, while I hide behind the rack of grounds.

A blowdart to the neck when they come to get the vid card is usually sufficient at that point. Sometimes, you have to chase them... but fortunately, most web developers aren't suited to fleeing.

Craigslist or AuthenticJobs.

As a web dev, those are the only two I've ever had to look at :p

I usually do it wielding a katana. I've found that few immortals are in the web developing buisness. And those that do have lame Quickening.

Does this mean your relocating situation is settling on Nashville, Farskee?

A vorpal keyboard works pretty well in my experience. Nobody ever sees that coming.

I just carpet bomb the area where they are known to hang out, that's the only safe solution.

Trying to recall the last time I worked some place that had an actual web developer, instead of someone who could cobble HTML together in their free time... try Dice, Monster, Career Builder?

That's a Typhoon, not an Akula. The sail is squared-off at the rear instead of slanted down like an Akula. It also lacks the pod at the top of the rudder fin that Akulas have, and the sail is too far to the rear.

Russian SSBNs are easy to recognize; the Deltas have the "hunchback" missile housing and the Typhoon has the unique flat-topped hull and the missile silos forward of the sail. The Ohio class, by comparison, looks much more like a really long attack submarine with the sail forward of the missile tubes and no "hunchback".

Also, only a total idiot would drive a submarine in that close to shore, and Russian SSBNs are based either near the Kola or Kamchatka Penninsulas which, given their latitude, are not likely to have public beaches. Missile submarines also don't generally surface for the sheer hell of it; if they aren't in, entering, or exiting port, they stay submerged. Modern Russian submarines patrol in arctic or near arctic areas anyhow so as to be less exposed to SSNs in the case of war.

Russia does have a Black Sea Fleet, but it doesn't include SSBNs, nor does its Baltic Fleet. That's just asking to get them pounced on and sunk.

Yes, that was the one Clancy based Red October on. However, in the Soviet passion for pointlessly drab and emotionless socialism, none of the Typhoons had names until it became the Russian Navy.

If you were to modify a submarine extensively enough to accomadate an entire secondary propulsion system, I'd really call it a new class, even if you based it off the old one, maybe Typhoon II. This would be in keeping with Soviet/Russian practices; there's Delta I/II/III/IV, Charlie/Charlie II, Oscar/OscarII, Victor I/II/III and several others.

The reflections are all wrong! And the pixels!

Edit:

Seriously, though, I don't see why that's a "shitty" photoshop. Someone actually did a nice job blending that one.

I meant "shitty" as in "only a total fool would actually think it was anything but a photoshop".

I assumed it was shitty because they didn't add a water skier being towed.

That is indeed what it looks like (/crosses fingers). As soon as April 15th, even.
