You dont't have to actually answer the question. Use a secret code word. If Apple will let you, use the same code word for all three answers. In fact that's even more secure because a person who knows you well might know the answer to a q

When the person comes to collect your answer, make them believe you left through the window and then hide and run out the door while they are investigating. And lock it. At least it worked in "The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prison

This is a standard answer that everybody gives, but for the most part it just isn't true. People hear the occasional horror stories and assume it is difficult for everybody without trying to source it themselves. I am leaving my current j

I bet we interviewed at the same "conservative defense contractor". I won't name names but there is one in particular that is known for requiring ties. I showed up for an interview in a suit sans tie and it was pointed out to me as well.

Too object oriented. I would hate to have to explain what a class is before I explained what a loop or a conditional is. We have to assume people are starting from nothing. Or like others have said we could hand-wave it away until later.

Mind if I ask where you are located and what you are doing? I know job titles are meaningless but where does it only take 4 years experience to be a senior engineer and earn 115K? I have 10 years and I'm still a few years away from being

I've thought the same thing. I've never been stopped by anybody, but I've had local sheriff's deputies drive past me really slow and look really closely at me while I'm taking a walk through a nearby community during my lunch break. And I

I think your points about young people are right on the money. To be more specific, there is a history to his views. They have evolved over time in reaction to specific events, just like everybody's ideas. People who have not experienced

If you are interested in motion control there seem to be a lot of companies in Pittsburgh in that field. Probably the CMU influence as another poster pointed out. I have done business with Aerotech before and they seemed to be a good comp

Heck, I just have a bachelors in math and I'm the "go-to" guy for all problems mathematical where I work. Nothing more than high school trig usually -- but I'm the only one around who can do it.

I haven't played in over a decade as well, but when I did play strategies usually consisted of very quick attacks on the f-pawn, usually sacrificing a knight(sometimes a bishop, but you would have to "waste" a move getting a pawn out first)

If your startup sells to other startups, it is very important. If you lack a skill and need help with something, it is very important. If you are looking to be funded by a startup incubator or something similar, it is somewhat important. Ot

The problem is the word "intent". Generally, possession in the home is okay but if you take it out of the home it can be considered prima facie evidence of intent. It is highly dependent on the mood of the state's attorney's office in you

Before you order a toolkit, also take a quick look at your state's laws. In some states, Maryland for example, it is against the law for anybody other than a professional locksmith to possess lockpicking tools. (Maryland also doesn't defi

This is probably the most interesting company I have read about on this site. The love using software to make something physical. I will definitely consider a purchase in the future.

There are different levels of telecommuting. Sometimes it is easier to hash everything out in a face to face meeting. Ideally the telecommuter would live close enough, say up to a few hours drive, that given proper notice they could come

The best way to profit from the gold rush is to sell shovels and pickaxes. Reminds me of the story of a saloon during the original California gold rush that would sell a bowl of soup for an astronomical sum. The people who stuck it rich wo
