Practical Application
Wed, 18 Apr 2007.
You guys know the light bulb riddle right? You would have studied it at some point if you are a computer scientist and you’ve ever had to go to a job interview. It is the sort of ridiculous question they will never ever ask at an interview but people believe they might anyway.
Vancouver is a fobby place
So, I just recently asked Apple for a replacement Powerbook battery. Mine was one of those that were recalled by the factory because of the very real danger that it could turn my computer into a ghetto fireworks show. Sure, I could have asked for the replacement while I was in Melbourne but I’d have to:
- Personally hand in the battery
- Go three to four weeks without a battery
Mind you, the people who sell Apple computers in Melbourne are also idiots. So no, as soon as I found out I was moving to America, I thought, “HOT DAMN! IN AMERICA THEY JUST MAIL YOU THE BATTERY AND YOU MAIL BACK THE OLD ONE FOR FREE. SWEET GRILLED CORN FED PRIME RIB.”
So battery arrives, I completely drain the old one and yank it out and snap a photo of the two batteries together. Go to the bathroom, come back out and I look at the two batteries I have sitting side by side and wonder, “which one is mine?”
Well thanks to studying for tech interviews, I knew the answer right away! Hooray for studying!
I’ve never even heard of that question >.> should i hand my computer science degree back?
Yes. Please return your degree to whomever you stole it from.
… I also am not qualified :(
But don’t tell anyone! You can’t be a consultant without knowing anything you know ;) cough
