Okay.. i got a good one... :D
Interviewer - Have you worked on .Net?
Me - No.
Interviewer - What have you done specifically?
Me - No, I haven't worked on the .net platform.
Interviewer - Okay <pause>, so <a longer pause>, what is a viewstate?
Me - #$@#$@%%@#@#
Another bad one, IMO, is "Where do you see yourself in N years?". In the mirror, I guess. ;)Quote:
1. Why do you want to change your job?
2. What are looking for in your new job?
3. Are you interested to work here?
Yeah... I remember what I had replied vaguely... a year and half ago... I said something like I want to be handling modules... designing ... etc etc .. like I wanted to let them know that I would like going ahead in the technical side and not just doing some team managerial stuff (which is by the way considered no less than rocket science :D ).. preparing schedules and reporting blah blah blah...Quote:

It was not surprising that I felt highly sympathetic for him rather than being intimidated.... :rolleyes:
I once interviewed an applicant who listed "glass assembler" as his previous job.
I wanted to ask, but I didn't.
Glass Assembler ?
Some may not consider this a dumb questions, but I hate it:
I never know what to say, and what they are looking for.Quote:
Give an example of some difficult situation you were faced with, and how did you resolve it?
Also, what bothers me is when the interviewer (for whatever reason) is not very familiar with my resume; and has definitly not researched it too see what some techologies I've worked with are, if he/she is not familiar with what it is. For example I have C++ Linux programming experience which is stated in my resume, and I have been asked:
This was from a CS graduate at a very BIG company, who I shall not name. It is very weird and puzzling. how did I get the interview, yet my interviewer didn't know what an important part of my work experience actually was?Quote:
What's Linux?

"What are trigraphs?" That's not stupid, but usually a stupid one follows: "Please tell me exactly: how many trigraphs there are? "
Latem, I consider this a very good question...
You always face difficult situations and they want to measure your skills to handle them.. it is a more important question as and when the experience in the industry increases...Quote:

Well, the size of a planet/planetoid/moon/etc... determines our distance to the center of mass. If the earth's mass was the same, but the radius of the earth were half the size, we'd weigh 4 times what we do today.
You should e-mail that guy back with this answer and see what he says now.

* assuming a spherically symetric mass -- of which the planets and moons are close enough for in this discussion.
Not if the earth revolved faster enough to balance the gravitational pull with the centrifugal force.. ;)Quote:

ok i can work on dot net even
But you did not answer the question. ;)
This is on weight issue.
The difference between weight and mass is the gravity factor. That is weight is mass multiplied by gravitational acceleration.
In other words your mass is same on moon and earth, but earth has more gravitaional force then moon, hence more g( gravitational acceleration ), so yuour weight is more on earth. The gravitational force I think is dependent on the magnetics and what consists of a planet or solar system object. Jupter, has more gravity then earth, hence you weight more. It's not dependent on size, black holes have very small size compared to other solar system objects, but highest gravity( so high it's impoosible to escape a black hole). I think gravity comes from the magnetism and rotation of a planet( could be wrong ,was a while since looked a physics book last time ).
So simply,
weight = mass * g
more the gravity more is g and hence even with same mass more weight
Okay this is like off topic but this weight issue has been brought up a lot.
It is not the difference but it is the factor... Now, wherever you go mass remains constant.. unless you are travelling at a speed comparable to that of the speed of light.. The mass in that case is called relative mass (i am not sure) and is derived from the Einstein's equation -- m' = m/(sqrt(1-pow(v,2)/pow(c,2))) where c = speed of light... No need of going much into relativity on codeguru... there must be some physics forum somewhere... ;)Quote:

(remember acceleration due to gravity is proportional to the inverse of square of the distance that separates the two bodies... Magnetics are considered differently from Gravitation.. Magnetics form what is called the magnetic force..Quote:

Stars die out either forming a black hole or causing a supernova explosion..Quote:

(there are many more but just to keep it simple) - gravitational pull of the earth.. and the centrigufal force due to the rotation of earth on its axis.. the gravity makes it up for the centrifugal force else we would have had all fallen out of the atmosphere... this mechanism is similar to how an atom is stable - with neutrons and protons in the center and electrons revolving..Quote:

I found this thread so interesting that I read every post.... on company time... so if I dont want to face a stupid question at a job interview, I better leave now. :wave:
