Crazy... I mean seriously, I just have to personally have a few beers, and perhaps 2 hrs chat to someone and I know if they can hack it.
NOTE to google, if you have to go through 8 phone interviews, 5 personal interviews, then either your so bi-polar and anal, or so innefficient, that you daily work practice is just as slow you never get anything done - 12 meetings to decide one icon perhaps?. Work fast, work elite, like 80s hackers did. Document later or get a cheap secretary to dictate the docs.
2. I bet the google guys would fail lots of interviews themselves, thats why they probably started google in the first place, because they knew it was tuff out there. 3. It doesnt take much to be great, you just have to know whats crap, thats all, there are lots of ways to achieve great results, there are many paths to the final goal, but if you dont know the traps, then your toast. Taking a long time for interviews is bad business, the other person isnt loaded with 100000s of dollars saved up, he has to eat, and pay bills, he wont wait 6 weeks, he'll take the first decent job. If someone you see is good, grab them asap. 4. Like any artist of photographer or musician, you only have to know their past work, and bingo you know if they are good. Past results speak. 5. lots of things google does isnt WOW man stuff, it just takes hours to do.
Just like having two monitors plugged in, its two workspaces, works well, perhaps one or two apps are made by poor loosers that cannot afford >1 monitor but all we need is 10000s of emails and blogs making them sound like loosers for them to fix it. Because if they dont they wont get the next job if their employer googles their name and finds 100s of websites saying how crap their product is because of Product manager Bob McFly.
So cannot we just have 10 virtual monitors of the same res as the main one, and cycle between which one is the primary? Code can already ask the OS how many monitors there are and each of their coordinates, just gota fake it.
I wonder if any one inputed the effect all mcdonalds/burgerking chain stores have on the hole, re with all that beef thats needed, and how much shit those cows make and how much they fart methane!!!
Did you add 600 billion cubic meters of methane!?!?!?!?!?!?
Cows are bad choice for food, they take a long time to grow, eat heaps, pollute the air. Require massive amounts of land. They are UDDER Crap!
On a per tonne of wate and acre statistic, INSECTS provide way more protein than cows, if people got over the fact of eating worms/bugs and stuff. Hey, people eat lobsters and prawns, they are really the INSECTS of the SEA!!! And they are yummy, which im sure if cooked right, land based insects would be as nice. 300% more protein, no fat, easy to grow, as they eat any thing and dont require difficult taking care off, and if lots of them die, BIG DEAL, eat em all!!
I'll have a McBug Super size with extra worms thanks
Even as a 1/3rd centurion, i find tht stuff boring in 1200ms , watching great documentaries of say, space or antartica or the amazon or monkeys in tibet, thats 100000% more enhancing and unique compared to random pixel drivel that idiots at MTV corp generate, yes , your Ashton, your stuff is dull after a short while, even with lots of chemical influences its still dull, even a rock would find it dull after 6 episodes.
Too many changing colors and frames eventualy become a blur, its still boring , its nothing new. Its not awesome. Its dull. And im sure even a 2yo finds that out and tunes to animal planet, thinking, what is that ant thinking.
Why cannot the winamp guys who made millions or AOL at least just put in a solid 6months * 10 people work on winamp to be as good as itunes, as pretty, and as cool. Add import itunes db options in even if its 3rd party.
And AOL then could partner with who ever and try to out do itunes, hello time warner idiots.
Itunes may be nice and all, but it still runs like the PC is 200mhz or emulating a PPC 601.
Why so slow, even a DHTML version of itunes in mozilla would be faster, is apple just that crap at coding windows apps?
It even skips like its a 66mhz computer, winamp never drops.
Someone should tell apple, just drop all the 1 layers of emu of carbon / osx wrappers, and re-write the damn application from scratch using some cool high end gui or even 100% in directx so its faster, not 100% GDI windows cpu crapola.
Thats why the batteries are not replaceable and they die quickly >2yrs.
They should make some fcc rule that says you cannot sell devices without ability to change batteries in the event of explosion or fires. That'll screw em. Imagine if mobile phones came with none changeable batteries.
If you know what instructions from 68k to intel to ppc are, then reading should show you its more than a simple FPU, its has full power of a normal processor (sans fancy pipelines etc..) but its still powerfull dude. If your not a programmer, then its beyond your comprehension.
The SPEs are like real processors, ie the full instructions that you usually get with motorola, 40 branches, 40 moves, complex adds/subs/mults, what more do you want? printf in assembly?
Either you can 'send code' to the SPE and run it, or the linux OS wont allow you to do it, but will allow you to use built in libraries that use the SPE to do common functions/opperations, kind of like having 200 macros/apis with enough flexibility that you wont be needing to make your own SPE code.
So go read the SPE assembly docs, its quite powerfull and flexible that it could easily run any code, recompile c/c++ code easily at a nice speed. Its not a $3 dsp at 3ghz.
So sony could tell us but they wont, marketing dept rules and tells the engineers to shush up.
Why oh why will MS not have an optional Extreme pack for a 80gig HD is a mystery, or at least allow 3rd parties the permission to do it if some dick at MS thinks theres not a big enough market for it.
Is it really that much to ask for MS to allow any HD to be plugged in, just replace and 'reinstall' from a dvd.
"refresh too many times and lock up 99% of the cpu." what is this, in X11?
Sounds like you need virtual machines, run the old crap under a VM so it still works.
What could possibly those old systems do that you cannot replicate or recode on new systems, or at least have it recompiled with wrapper apis, or is it that horendously badly coded.
You make nukes to also test your equipment and shields against nukes.
Once you can detonate, you can start making protection against being nuked, this is what the usa most hates, not the fact that some can 'send a nuke' but they can now work on how to best protect themselves and their bunkers against nukes.
The real mission was to STOP usefull oil production of oil from iraq, not to use it. Thus driving up oil prices which in turn makes more $$$ for the ME and thus they have to re-lend those billions back to usa. If it wasnt for >$60 prices, usa would not be getting $600billion a year in free lent money from the world, and thus would collapse and fail under massive deflation.
Imagine if macs stayed with PPC, and use a cell based version like ibms server, it would have 8x grunt.
And before any one ays SPE cannot run general code, look at the instruction set, its as good if not better than the old 68k chips, infact much better as it has lots of cool math simd type instructions. Whats 90% of C/C++ code? lots of IFs and variable assignments, and structure memcpys. Now if the whole OS would thread to all SPEs on demand it would fly.
Tsk tsk, tired excuses, you are so lazy to not just white list UT/GV.
Firefox Flash blockers still let you selectively activate flash content.
Dont be a spoilt 70s geek, get over it.
Do you have a better video solution? mpeg1 perhaps? yer right. Its too late to distribute a new player, we're stuck with flash. Ie7 wont even make a dent even if it seamlessly does Wm9 in 1ms after a click.
Hey, so much for Adams Platform, those guys are in for fraud, and if they had a clue, in 1998 they would have made a free player and sold an encoder dirt cheap and licence it. Maybe their test video was southpark in 4bit colour converted to geometric objects.
Seriously, if business in american is costing > 100k per person, then move to china.
Pay for all moving costs and setup shop in Shanghai.
1) rent is 5x cheaper 2) taxes 10% max 3) everything is cheap 4) you can be paid $15000USD salary and live real well there. 5) profit.
Buy an apartment for peanuts in brand new towers, and enjoy. Its not like the sovient union, you can still pretty much do anything as long as you dont piss of the govt.
There are plenty of english and americans and australians in Shanghai, its not totally like 99% chineese people, its very singapore style.
In many ways, Shanghai is as modern and as good as New York, just as cheap as Ohio.
Imagine a company with zero engineers, and 100% managers, it cannot survive.
Now imagine a company with 100% engineers, which spend 5% of their time doing 'management' , it would still work and turn out a product, see google and apple.
A smart engineer can learn in 6months how to be a manager, a manager though would take 10 years to be as good as an engineer.
After all there are no management 5 year degrees at unis are there.

And how many japanese died after nagasaki?
Any wonder that the us dollar bill has a pyramid on it.
Ah it all makes sense now.
Btw watch out for the home loan refis to kick in, 1 trillion dollars of refis at higher % are gona hurt a 1000 titatic loads of people.
450 billion in interest only loans is also going to hurt.
Sell now or get out of the building industry fast.
