That's totally out of my control, and it's extremely difficult to get someone in even if I recommended him/her.

[One Winged Angel]

it's okay u still da man

also are you waifu'd up yet

[Reincarnate]

leonid recommended me and I couldn't get in (then again I wasn't going for CA office)

Unless you're a CS major they don't seem to want to put you through the CS channels -- they really want to shoehorn you into whatever you majored in

You're playing poker with a tiger, a frog, a fly, and a strawberry. You're holding 6h 6s and the flop is As 7c 3s. The tiger looks really bored and tired and yawns a lot and drowsily bets twice the minimum. The frog looks really hesitant and croaks a bit and eventually calls. The fly folds then makes a nuisance by flying round all over the place until the frog threatens to eat it. The strawberry already folded preflop. Do you fold, call, raise, or run screaming?

Have you ever ruined a good score on ffr because you sneezed, and if you have, what was the best score that was ruined in this way?

What is the difference between Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Madonna?

What is your opinion on writing "P.S. ..." at the end of an e-mail to make a point on purpose even though you could just move that to the middle of your message?

That doesn't happen because I quickly memorize 2 seconds worth of notes before I sneeze

It's to test whether the reader actually reads through the entire message
I do that many times

Hows life?

[Hateandhatred]

I just had the creepiest dream ever and you were a big part of it. You were the inventor of a new coding technique and you could program real life stuff, and you eventually programmed Quebec City as a video game. The game was simply life with coded elements and we couldn't get out. We all hailed you as a local legend though, no one (including myself) regretted what you had done. You programmed a meteor shower of little copper-ish mineral stones over the city on night, and as I was investigating with one of the old men who delivers the newspapers to my irl workplace (wtf?) and one of the rocks hit and killed the old man. I picked up the rock and it was hollow, and the inside was padded with a beige leather-ish fabric. Then the night was over and near where I live there is that house with a large yard. I went in it, and I met this girl, amazing girl. The type that would become my best friend or something like that irl, but in the dream, she became my girlfriend. I noticed how it was about goals, like having sex was a future accomplishment and although I initially didn't care I realized that after having sex once. I left that night once the girl went back to her place and went to a little park with a big rock, and then I saw this big sign representing you and hailing you. I picked up a flip phone in order to take a picture. It had 5 pages of integrated aps but no memory card. I set the camera settings to internal memory, then battery was low. I plugged it so it could charge and lied down and used the phone for a moment to chat with people. Then it had enough battery and I took a picture of the sign to share it with the rest of the world - which was completely disconnected from us aside from the internet - and then I was back home. I slept and the next days there was an abyss (or fissure idk) in my driveway, and I couldn't go on the road (also programmed), and the girl standing next to it, and it started over, the way I interacted with her was the same as before, but before having sex again, we talked about other things and my concerns about the accomplishment thing. She grew nervous and then depressed, concerned about herself because she wasn't a genuine being but fully scripted interaction wise, and designed to affect my senses only so only I would notice her, let alone interact with her. She did have some liberty, but not with things that were part of the program in relation to me, and she said she felt violated, and stuff, but we both agreed that you were a genius. She said so many things around me were like her, I could not imagine how complex your work was. Then I had a file in mind with a green name and it was labelled with a green names with hyphens before and after, and it was the girl's name. Then irl my sister knocked on the door and woke me up to get my car key because she left her bottle of water in it.

I forgot the begining for the most part and some elements here and here, but that's what I can get out. What do you think of this?

Also, have you received my package back like a year ago? If not, do you live at the same place? This one wasn't returned to me, but I didn't hear back from you.

I have none of those. What helps is problem solving skills and basic CS knowledge to explain your solution. Being able to use Linux is as helpful as being able to use a computer.



Any non-google questions? I never said a word about google in ffr how do people find it out wtf
