  • RE: Asking for Interview Questions

    Then there is Solyndra. They had $535,000,000 in loan guarantees from the federal government. When...

    The point isn't that climate change/warming/whatever is true or not, but rather that MS Research is trying to tackle the difficult problem of building models,...

    My turn to apologise for not being entirely clear.

    I fully expect the business users I talk with to know what they want. However, I do not expect them to...

    Any answer the man seem to give was not the right answer, so either the question was not plain enough up front or the interviewer was playing games...

    Asking an obvious question and expecting a different type of answer. Just read what he posted.
