People who I met traveling in the south of India were shocked to find out that I eat meat every day or even multiple times a day. Even those who eat meat in India do so springy. I too took to that way of life and now am pretty much a vegetarian who cheats with seafood every so often. Feels good.
I was shocked to find out after my Google interview that you can see your collaborator selecting text in Google Apps. I was nervously selecting wafts of text constantly throughout the whole thing. I never heard from them afterwards :/
I cannot use an IDE that doesn't feature a vi mode for the editor. I'd be very, very lost. I'm yet to find an IDE that doesn't get in my way, vi mode or not.
Are you sure? I've been sending email from my workstations for years and never had an issue. Maybe if I'd let spammers relay through them for a day or two I'd get blocked. Even that would just be temporary. Let's see some proof that you need a big boy's server to successfully send email. The only real problem I can think of is that a lot of ISPs block 25 out.
Exchange will ignore MX records and deliver directly to accounts that exist in AD. This is true for some other email systems as well like Mirapoint. I'm not sure about Gmail.
