the cosmotron is proud to announce the availability of The Konami Code on it’s website.

According to an announcement on the info-member GNU mailing list, the GPL version 3 will be released on June 29th at noon (EDT). A live stream of the event will be broadcast on the Free Software Foundation’s website.

In light of the recent AACS key controversies, Ed Felten over at Freedom to Tinker wrote an article poking fun at the whole situation.

Anyway, I would like to let everyone know that I am the proud and sole owner of the following 128-bit int:

I have had several interviews in the past year and something I always think about before one is, quite natually, “What questions are they going to ask me?” I then, like most people, go online to look at sample questions or go ask a friend what types of things they have been asked. Those friends can never remember. So, I am going to start writing down what questions I have actually been asked during interviews. This list will keep growing as I have more and more interviews.

The List:

• Tell me a little about yourself.
  • I always respond with, “Could you be a little more specific?”
• Tell me about your last job.
• What is a challenge that you had to overcome at your last job?
• Tell me about the Clarkson Open Source Institute.
• What programming languages do you know?
• On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being expert, rate your knowledge of each of those languages.
• Do you have any questions?

That’s all for now!
