USB Can Be So Dangerous..

News spread that usb flash disc devices can be potentially thretening security, form intalling back door software, spread the sensitive password until stealing original software. Aware of that problem, now expet suggest that some preventive action by turn of the autorun and decreasing the end user privileges.

Interesting idea they had made. You can customize the form, color, even backgrund on the fly while download button ready to start… :)

Microsoft Interview Questions

August 31, 2006 – 4:41 am

Ever wondered what it’s like to sit in the interviewers chair at Microsoft? I for one wouldn’t want to find myself there, but the interview questions are fun and sometimes funny and typically are broken down into a riddle, questions about algorithms, applications, and thinker type questions. Some of my favorites:

Riddles:

1. Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror, facing it. Raise your left hand. Raise your right hand. Look at your reflection. When you raise your left hand your reflection raises what appears to be his right hand. But when you tilt your head up, your reflection does too, and does not appear to tilt his/her head down. Why is it that the mirror appears to reverse left and right, but not up and down?

2. One train leaves Los Angeles at 15mph heading for New York. Another train leaves from New York at 20mph heading for Los Angeles on the same track. If a bird, flying at 25mph, leaves from Los Angeles at the same time as the train and flies back and forth between the two trains until they collide, how far will the bird have traveled?

3. If you have two buckets, one with red paint and the other with blue paint, and you take one cup from the blue bucket and poor it into the red bucket. Then you take one cup from the red bucket and poor it into the blue bucket. Which bucket has the highest ratio between red and blue? Prove it mathematically.

4. How many manhole covers are there in the USA?

Algorithms (If you can answer these, kudos to you, I couldn’t! :) )

1. Suppose you have an array of 1001 integers. The integers are in random order, but you know each of the integers is between 1 and 1000 (inclusive). In addition, each number appears only once in the array, except for one number, which occurs twice. Assume that you can access each element of the array only once. Describe an algorithm to find the repeated number. If you used auxiliary storage in your algorithm, can you find an algorithm that does not require it?

2. Implement an algorithm that takes two strings as input, and returns the intersection of the two, with each letter represented at most once. Now speed it up. Now test it.

3. How would you print out the data in a binary tree, level by level, starting at the top?

4. Imagine this scenario:
I/O completion ports are communication ports which take handles to files, sockets, or any other I/O. When a Read or Write is submitted to them, they cache the data (if necessary), and attempt to take the request to completion. Upon error or completion, they call a user-supplied function to let the users application know that that particular request has completed. They work asynchronously, and can process an unlimited number of simultaneous requests.
Design the implementation and thread models for I/O completion ports. Remember to take into account multi-processor machines.

Applications:

1.  How can computer technology be integrated in an elevator system for a hundred story office building? How do you optimize for availability? How would variation of traffic over a typical work week or floor or time of day affect this?

2.  Define a user interface for indenting selected text in a Word document. Consider selections ranging from a single sentence up through selections of several pages. Consider selections not currently visible or only partially visible. What are the states of the new UI controls? How will the user know what the controls are for and when to use them?

3.  How would you design a coffee-machine for an automobile.

4. How would you go about building a keyboard for 1-handed users?

Thinkers:

1.  How would you explain how to use Microsoft Excel to your grandma?

2. Suppose you go home, enter your house/apartment, hit the light switch, and nothing happens - no light floods the room. What exactly, in order, are the steps you would take in determining what the problem was?

3. How are M&Ms made?

Imagine whats your answer gonna be.. :)

Quotes

August 28, 2006 – 9:29 am

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

- Steve Jobs


firefox celebration

August 3, 2006 – 8:25 am
The Mozilla Corporation on Monday celebrated the 200 millionth download of its open source Firefox Web browser, with the community planning parties to commemorate the event. The milestone was hit one year and nine months after the debut of Firefox 1.0.

Hitting the 200 million mark does not mean Firefox has that many users, as the download count includes both Firefox 1.0 and version 1.5. In addition, users may have downloaded the browser multiple times, or the download may not have been completed. Still, Mozilla is touting the number as a big step forward."200 million people seeking Firefox is a huge accomplishment and we’re right to celebrate our role in driving that number," said Mozilla engineer Asa Dotzler. "Congratulations to every single person who made Firefox the success it is today."
The results are clearly evident: Firefox has passed 15 percent usage in the United States, according to statistics from Web analytics firm OneStat.com. The alternative browser is also gaining ground against Microsoft’s ubiquitous Internet Explorer overseas. Firefox has a 39 percent market share in Germany and a 24 percent share in Australia.
"Going forward, I’d also like to find a better way for our community to measure its success," added Dotzler. "At Mozilla, we’ve developed a much better system for measuring users than what we had when the counter launched back in the Firefox 1.0 days."
Mozilla is gearing up to launch Firefox 2.0, which will compete with Microsoft’s upcoming Internet Explorer 7 release. Both browsers are currently in beta and have received positive reviews from users. IE7 has been bolstered with improved security and built-in tabbed browsing, while Firefox 2.0 brings new phishing protection and better RSS support.

btw. Internet Explorer who…? emoticon
