It might take some time, but with managed switches and SNMP it is possible to pull the bridge tables off of each switch as well as ip to mac correlation from the routers.
The switches/routers know where the device is or you would never see it on the network. You just have to know how to make the switches tell you.
Even if it's on a virtual machine you will know what switchports are forwarding for what mac addresses which will narrow down the search quite a bit.
While I didn't get the job at google, I made it pretty far into the interview process. I think I started in late because I was just told that the position had been filled (and was not done with the interview process). All that aside, my CS degree from a liberal arts university did get me the interview. After that it's a lot of what you know and how much experience you have. It's getting to the point where a Bachelor's degree is equivalent to a HS diploma 10 years ago anyways. You should really go for the Masters if you want any chance of standing out.
Wow, thanks for the lashing over nothing. I was saying that the interview process is thorough. Not fun does not mean not beneficial. Does anyone think taking interviews are fun? If you read on (instead of picking on a minor comment), you would have seen that I recommended the process. Do you scan comments for a reason to be a jerk?
My overall experience with the process was good. It caused me to take a closer look at my abilities and to expand on them.
Again, thanks.
The interview process is not very fun at all. After being selected for a phone interview they make you fill out a self evaluation form. You better not fill out a 10 in any area unless you wrote the book (because they have the guys that wrote the book - and they will call you). I ended up doing 3 phone interviews before I was sent an email saying that the position I was applying for had already been filled (I got in the process a little late). Depending on the position you are going for there may be quite a few more phone interviews followed by a very tough in-house interview (over 10 interviews in 2 days).
If you are in a field where you can work for google, I would try to get an interview with them. If you get it, great! If not, it will make most any other interview you have feel easy.
I'm currently running a 3 drive RAID 5. It was pretty easy to get going. It all depends on how much you want to spend and what you want to do with the server. RAID 5 gives you (N - 1)*(drive size) storage (3 x 200GB drives gives you 400 GB storage). The problem with RAID 5 is it requires at least 3 drives, the more the better. I really like my 3ware sata raid card, it gives you the option to have "hot spares" so should it detect a problem, it will automatically start rebuilding onto the spare. It's also a hardware-based card meaning (among other things) it takes very little from the server to rebuild the drive. 3ware's drivers were easy to get running (even in linux) and it included a monitoring system that can send alert emails should something go wrong. For more information on the 3ware cards, check their new line out here
I would go as far as to say that computer science _is_ math.
Amen. Assembly language anyone?
Not to mention that if you get all the way down too it, the computer is just doing math. You should know how the computer is taking your code and running it.
On a happy note, I just finished my last CS final yesterday. Graduation on Saturday!
It's amazing how fast some ideas get put down as soon as they are brought up. Most having to do with religion. As if the only requirement to discounting a story is saying that God did it. I'm not trying to convince anybody one way or the other, but give it a chance before you start criticizing.
If they found life on Mars, would you beleive it? Why? Because science told you it was true? Because a multi-billion dollar organization told you it was true? Why not give science and a guy with a few bucks in his pocket a chance to find if this is true? Or does he need the backing of NASA?
They can't afford to launch a satellite only to discover there was a bug in the software and have it be worthless
If you look at Gravity Probe B's Site you will find that the software that they are referring to has nothing to do with the probe itself but rather there was insufficient time to confirm that the Delta II rocket had the correct wind profile loaded for the data from the final weather balloon.
They wanted to make sure that the rocket had the data from the last weather balloon and there wasn't enough time to make sure.
My car doesn't have a black box. Should I be forced to install one, presumably at my own expense, just because I don't want to buy a new car?
Lets see, how many cars made before the smog requirements got so strict were forced to have smog equipment installed at the owners expense?
You still don't have to wear a seatbelt in your car if it was made with no seatbelt.
All of this and I live in California - the most anal of them all. Looking at the past it is not very likely that they would ever require all cars without a black box to have them installed.

Maybe you should buy some stands and change your oil yourself....
Mechanic: That will be $80 for the oil change.
Customer: $80!!!???
Mechanic: Yes sir, $80. $20 for labor and $60 for the oil.
Customer: Why did the oil cost so much?
Mechanic: Well, you have one of those new hybrid cars - they don't use a lot of gas, but boy they like oil!
//Sorry for sending the comment father off topic - I'm back now (sort of)
I hate having a bunch of 1 quart bottles around when my car takes 5 of them. Anyone know of any other place that sells oil that way?
My truck takes 5 quarts and I've found that Autozone carries them in specific brands. Check it out. As an extra plus, moving some extra business to Autozone would probably piss SCO off.
I'm currently running a seperate drive for my swap partition/page file. I had an extra 8 gig scsi drive laying around so I threw it in to see how I liked it. I split the drive in half, one is my linux swap partition and the other NTFS (for my page file). I know it's a bit overkill, but why not?
I can say from experience that it is much nicer if you are doing a lot at the same time (loading data from the hard drive + using the swap). Your drive doesn't have to jump around to load data from the drive and write to the swap.
I do agree with many of the other posts that if you have more money than time, go with more ram. I'm not really sure if I would consider it worth the time. It would take a lot of swap read/write cycles to just equal the time it takes to put the drive in the computer (not including setup time).
I think most comparisons aren't made one old boxes running web browsers and changing windows every once and a while. Sure, X is probably faster on that little box than Windows would be (XP wouldn't even run), but most people aren't using those old boxes anymore and require much more from their system.
I dual boot on my machine with WinXP and Gentoo Linux (X + waimea) and XP is much more responsive than my linux install.
I'm not arguing for or against X or Y, I'm just interested to see where it leads and whether it can help bring linux to the desktop.

Ummm, I'm guessing you are referring to Gravity Probe B?
Not only is it going to take 1-2 years to test the theory, it hasn't been launched yet. It's new\rescheduled launch date isn't till April 19, 2004.
So to answer your question of what happened to the results??
It's hard to give results on a project that hasn't been launched yet.
