Except for the one about his wife, none of those questions seem vaguely interesting to me.
I don't mean to flame, but could someone PLEASE explain questions number 9 to me?! I don't follow Bill's every move.. so I might not (along with others) understand inside jokes.
Also, questions asking actors about when they were called bad actors are USELESS. What the hell are they supposed to say to that? Of course Bill is going to give you a bunch of wisecracks... what else could he do?
And none of you asked ANYTHING about his personal life!?! I didn't see a single personal question there, aside from "what do you think of this", and "what do you think of that".
Christ.. at least ask when he lost is virginity or something.
I could summarize the code required for a simple web server in a few paragraphs, but that doesn't mean that it's a good idea to write one for every new project.
Shit I wrote my own webserver too:) (only for highperformance specific uses of course).
It's not like I have to re-write my Webapp "Controller" every time.. I did it once.
Everytime I go back and consider using struts.. I keep realizing I already use the MVC. Struts too me seems like extra bloat.
Basically I have a master url such as: http://mywebsite/servlet/IndexServlet (lets just say).
The master servlet always takes in an "f" parameter to determine state. f=login , f=mainmenu, f=saveform, etc...
It uses that f parameter to pull out the proper "Action Object" (or control) from a stored hashtable that is initialized once. Then it executes that ActionObject (or whatever you choose to call it) which handles the other parameters (other than f), does what it needs to, and pushes out the proper JSP "view" of your choosing.
This could be simply displaying a form, saving a form to database and displaying a success page, yadda yadda yadda. Of course some actions can be used for more than one thing if you code smartly. I have saved eons of time doing this this way, making my "ActionObjects" as reusable as possible.
All along security is maintained via sessions.
It's easy, and you don't need third party libs to do it.
Commentary and questions are welcome of course. I expect half of you have come up with some flaws:)
What's the main difference between recruiting for open source skills (e.g. Apache, Linux, MySQL, PHP, etc.) versus proprietary skills (e.g. Microsoft.NET, Novell, Oracle, etc)?
I don't get it I think I need a little help in the terminology here.
Is it possible to code an OpenSource app.. but it be written in.NET ? does the.NET license prevent programs written in it being opensource?
Is hiring FOR opensource meaning hiring someone to work on an opensource project, hiring someone that HAS worked on something opensource, or someone who only works with opensource platforms such as PHP?
I Be confused says I.
and frankly I don't wanna work for google.
Sure they offer you 80k... only to be laid off when the stock dips. Oh, you don't think it's possible? look at AOL, look at yahoo.
According to Mr Allen, NASA was forced to send robots to the moon and faked the manned missions because radiation levels in space were lethal to humans.
Yes, that's right in 1969 they had the technology to send robots to set up landers on the moon
Maybe it was the "DANGER! DANGER! Will Robinson robot from that stupid show (and horrible movie "Lost in Space"
Mr. Allen is probably a virgin too... perhaps he doesn't believe sex exists? (or his penis)
wait a sec, how can some sign detect what radio station I'm listening to? all I have done is tuned into a frequency... there is no transmitting or anything, no bouncing back a signal.
I think people (website owners and advertizers) need to sit back and realise that the dot com industry that once was, is no more.
RUNNING A WEBSITE WITH ADDS WILL NOT KEEP YOU AFLOAT!
Once people get that through thier 1998 skull, they can start using the web for what it was originally intended for... sharing information, research, and communication. (ok and a little online gaming as well:)).
These idiots don't seem to want to accept that the market has changed. just look at salon.com.
--Finger me ouch... not hard, yeah.. that's better.
If we launched a nuke at an asteroid a million miles away (and yes it's possible), there would be no pollution here on earth.
Second, you think we don't have nukes!? Buahaha peace treaties mean nothing. The U.S. has tons and tons of nukes.. or they chould just have nukes that are "disassembled" and could be reassembled at any moment.
As always, especially in the tech industry the best thing you can do is tailor your resume to the specific place you are applying to.
Yes, this takes more time than emailing the same resume 1000times to different places.
A large company (like IBM), might want to see you as a specialst in one particular aspect of programming. Like an expert in C, and compiler design.
I'd think a smaller company might want to see more of a "Jack of all trades". C/Java developer, web applications, Unix administration.
Worst thing you can do, is assume you know what MOST companies are looking for, and tailor a single resume because of that.. or make generalizations such as "They want quality, not quantity". Many BIG companies would rather hire newbies for less, and train/MOLD them into the skilled guru they are looking for.
Of course add in the "economic slump" factor.. and things get a bit more difficult.
Perhaps the "Iraq" factor, will smooth the economy a little:)
Seriously, just because you write together a room full of computers, it doesn't mean much.
Sure if you specifically write an app to do parallel computing over fibre-channel nodes, and you have all these networked computers work on the same problem, it might turn out what seems like 10-TFLOPS. But it's NOT a mainframe.
Hell lets say we call all the machines doing SETI@HOME a cluster? How many TFLOPS do you think that could do? or IS doing? By "buzz word" logic Seti@home network might be one of the fastest mainframes in the world.
First of all OO or Object Oriented is not a buz word... it's a programming design/structure.
and I certainly don't read about OO in advertizements for the moron public (read: Managers).
XML is also a standard.. but yes it's a buz word now... which annoys the crap out of me.
HOWEVER clustering is complete meaningless.. and has yet to even have an actual definition.. WTF IS clustering!? Don't tell me it's just a bunch of servers that sit in the same room.
Wait.. does a CLIC cluster work the way openMosix does? openMosix behind the scenes migrates processes (or server connections) to the least busy machine at that time. It doesn't do threads, and I don't even know how it works if it's not a network drive.
How does CLIC do it? Don't assume it's the same thing... christ you could even call my webserver a cluster just cuz it's webpages spread amoung two different machines... but they (the servers) really have no concept of eachother.. and it doesn't share threads or diskspace or anything really.
Clust is more of a buz word. It is what is technically going on that I'm most concerned with.
I've run OSX on a 400MHZ G4, and trust me I had/have no interest in bashing OSX.
The fact is, I WANTEd to run OSX because Linux(the other alternative) had such crappy fonts, and was just generally (visually) unpleasant to use.
Much to my disappointment the simple navigation of basic apps like a browser and IDE were sluggish (not HORRIBLY) but to the point where I said fuckit and reinstalled Linux.

Just kidding, you've been informative.. thanks.

This just doesn't make sense to me.

It looks like some idiot slashdot moderator missed your sarcasm :)

Hey!!! MS-DOS was the bomb!! and it is not a clone of anything:)
(PC-DOS came second)
I checked out the last quarter report.
Only thing that stood out was under Liabilities:
"Additional Paid-In-Capitol: 80million"
then accumulated deficit: 79million.
WTF does that mean?
Costs on that sheet weren't so high.
You couldn't be more wrong.
If we launched a nuke at an asteroid a million miles away (and yes it's possible), there would be no pollution here on earth.
Second, you think we don't have nukes!? Buahaha peace treaties mean nothing. The U.S. has tons and tons of nukes.. or they chould just have nukes that are "disassembled" and could be reassembled at any moment.
Just tell him there is oil in the asteroid, or Osama lives there or something :)
OK OK that was a cheapshot.. but if you can't joke about current issues, then poo on you:)
Agreed.... :)
:)
Not only do I want to know who the fuck he is,
but if he's ever worked a day in his life
As he even worked on a major project before?
Does he sleep next to a microwave oven? Was he born near high tension power lines?
All these things play a factor in his ignorance
Actually someone beat me up and stole my lunch money when I was playing in the schoolyard sandbox once....

awesome!
still wanna know how a CLIC (which is the new mandrake thing I think) works!
First of all OO or Object Oriented is not a buz word... it's a programming design/structure.
and I certainly don't read about OO in advertizements for the moron public (read: Managers).

ermm, I don't know about you .. but I'm not playing Quake3 on my unix/bsd production systems :)
