A couple of tips: 1) When you leave an interview, spend some time immediately after and write down the questions they asked and give yourself an honest evaluation of how you answered them. What did you miss? What could you have said better? 2) Before you go to the interview, do a search for "behavioral interview questions" and pick several different topics. Come up with good answers to those questions. Use the "STAR" response (Situation/Task, Actions, Results) and really plan out your answers 3) This sort of goes hand in hand with #2, but think of your top achievements. Make a list of great things that you did as they relate to communication, managing a project, leading a team, etc. etc. You know what kind of job you're applying for, plan for the interview and have your stories ready to go. They're not going to ask those exact questions, but if you have a list of possible answers, you'll at least nail some of the questions.
But what you're describing is the way that the prius and other popular models do it. What I was trying to say, is that instead of using a smaller motor, you could use the battery power in addition to the regular gas motor when you take off. In the prius, the gas motor doesn't kick in until you have started moving, but what if you ran both the gas and off the battery power at the same time? Then you'd have more overall horespower.
They were talking about doing this on at least one vehicle (probably a chevy or ford suv) and it wouldn't get better mileage, but just have more power.
The batteries on hybrids produces power to make the car run. You can do whatever you want with that power when you build the car. The environmentalists use it to reduce gas consumption so that the car runs off the battery power whenever possible.
However some hybrid models take that battery power and add it to the gas power that is produced to give an increase in horsepower. No gas is saved, but you get a faster more peppy vehicle.
I reported that Firefox increased its market share to 8.715 percent, up from 8.71 percent in July 14th, while IE's share shrank to 86.555 percent from 86.56 percent.
Do we really need to report every month, if we know that it's going up every month?
When there's problems in countries like the USA such as poverty or a lack of health care, the big businesses say that the market will cure the problems. That we just need to find a way to make it profitable and all problems will be solved. They even say this for the environment, that all solutions need to be market driven or they won't last.
Well fuck the big businesses who are losing 'billions' of dollars to the hackers. Let the free market sort it out.
The population density is a factor, but not the big one. We're a car obsessed culture and we'll spend billions on highways (the interstate system?) before we put a penny into public transportation. It could be done, but we're more concerned about building bigger roads.
But the population density in the north east is just as high as anywhere else in the world. Canada is considering a high speed train for the toronto to montreal corridor. If we can feasibly make a case for it, then surely the US can do better than those greyhound busses they have.
In my high school in the late 80's we got a new network and the default password for all students and teachers was "IBM". 5 bonus points to whoever guesses which company set up the network.
At the time it wasn't a big deal to mess up the network, it was considered buggy. Now you get lynched.
Have you ever tried installing AIM from AOL? It install links everywhere regardless of if you tell it 'no' in the setup process. Maybe they'll finally change this.
They make money because only half of rebates are redeemed. This means that they can advertise the price lower than without a rebate by counting on some people not getting their money back. The people that benefit are the ones who do send in their rebate because they're getting a better deal at the expense of the lazy people who can't cut out the UPC code.
Yeah, most places definitely can do it. Our grocery store has some self-checkout lanes and those are mounting at eye level for an average height standing person. Totally unusable. And also, when she goes to pick up her prescriptions, they make her sign a "i got it" thing on an electronic signature pad. Again, unreachable. Wal-mart is crappy about it because most of the employees don't know how to print out the receipt and we end up waiting 5 minutes for them to call their supervisor. It's often just easier for me to sign to avoid the already long wait in line there.
And now I'm starting to sound bitter and cynical.:)
My girlfriend is in a wheelchair, and many of the places that have the 'swipe your own card' machines are placed too high for her to reach. She gets me to sign her name and while I felt it rather ridiculous that no other method existed for her to sign her own card, I still complied.
But instead of signing her name, I just wrote things like "she can't reach" or "this is dumb".
A month or two after we received a phone call from VISA who questioned her on all these 'signatures' and wondered why they didn't match, and why she wasn't signing her name.
They were polite, but asked that her actual name be used from now on.
This could have a positive effect on workers as well. Flourescent lighting, which is common in office buildings, is not the best type of lighting to work under. Natural sunlight could produce a boost in moral because people are generally less depressed when they receive more sunlight.
The idea is to help people out who may not know all the l33t acronyms that you know. And otherwise, why include any information and not just post a link to the article? Slashdot could just be a list of links to interesting articles.

I didn't say it was small. I said it sounds smaller when put in square miles than when put in acres.
It sounds a lot smaller when you put it that way.
What happens when a city transit system is invaded?
Isn't that what I said? It was .56, now it's only .555 and that means it shrank.

There are billions of web pages on the net. I have one of those. Therefore, my input to output ratio should be something like 10000000000:1
They would be ahead ... if only this wasn't a new story and the CBC hadn't been putting up their casts online for at least a few months already.
Blogs are finally getting the spotlight and they're probably older than bittorrent. The media is just a little .. how should we say .. not tech savvy?
Have you ever tried installing AIM from AOL? It install links everywhere regardless of if you tell it 'no' in the setup process. Maybe they'll finally change this.
No really, hasn't anyone heard of bittorrent?
Can anybody say "Cross border shopping?"

Does the optical fibre carrying the light also carry the UV rays that are responsible for said skin cancer?
This could have a positive effect on workers as well. Flourescent lighting, which is common in office buildings, is not the best type of lighting to work under. Natural sunlight could produce a boost in moral because people are generally less depressed when they receive more sunlight.
To be honest, I haven't been waiting at all.

Like any programs worked on Windows in the first place?
