Lucky him, atleast he got to face tech interviews. As for me I never got the chance to prove myself.
I got my call, was inquired about my projects and current offers by HR and then got a rejection letter next week. After I inquired, it turned out that my low GPA [ 7.03/10.0 ] was the cause. They want academically bright freshers with shining GPAs and with strong CS101 skills.
Mine is 2009 model and I have yet to face this issue. Although my Optical drive died this January and it throws out DVDs when inserted but that is the only problem I have faced so far.
EDIT: Was just stating that 2009 MBPs have no such issues IMHO.
"Bounce Evolution" is supposedly the best game available on N900. Although N900 itself was never a successful platform but the game had immersive quality, just like Angry Birds.
Just yesterday I was unable to access twitter from my university. It blocked me by saying something like 'API calls exceeded'. A university have generally a single IP address and thousand of users. What will twitter do about this ?
True, but my current phone N900 is weaker in terms of a phone. It is a hacker's delight with a real terminal, apt-get etc but the phone experience I never really enjoyed much. My earlier phone N95 was better than this.
Just 2 hours back I though of writing my project report in LaTex, but then after 1 hour of tinkering I switched back to MS Office because I needed to get work done today.
May be if I'll have some spare time, I will learn it and write my next report in LaTex.
Yes, they do. In India the average price of sending an SMS is 1 rupee, the same as making a call for 60 seconds.
EDIT: Which carrier ? Unless you buy SMS pack, the default rate per SMS is rupee 1. Am talking about Airtel and BSNL. I think the article too mentions this. Quoting it: "The wireless companies all told Kohl's antitrust committee that while the price of individual texts was going up, consumers were paying far less per text by buying huge bundles for flat rates."
I highly value "Programming Pearls" by Jon Bentley in this regard. He proposes a problem and then solves it in naive way followed by the right way/ways. I realized the importance of choosing correct data structure for a particular problem from that book.
There is a reason Python is paired with Mercurial.
Hg is written in Python. As for why Mercurial was chosen over Bazaar, it came down to popularity. As the core developer survey shows, hg was preferred over bzr.
