    Third Interview went well, looks like Raleigh will be my new home.

    I forgot what the saying was... Cary = Containment Area for Relocated Yankees? Congrats on the job. I was born and raised in Raleigh, graduated from NCSU, but moved out west to Seattle due to the lure of living on the west coast and wanting a change in scenery. Anyways, Raleigh (and the...

    Anyone here ever have a phone interview with Intel?

    They asked a whole lot of stuff... though it depends on the position you're going for. I remember questions about MOSFETs, MOS Capacitors, PN Junctions, VTC curve of MOSFET, etc., drain current equations, anything related to transistors and how they're made, what happens when you cut the...

    Anyone here ever have a phone interview with Intel?

    I'm a senior in CPE/EE/CSC and had 3 phone interviews with Intel this year, 2 for a position in Portland and 1 for a position in Hudson. I felt like I knew maybe about 60-70% of the stuff they asked in the phone interviews. The Hudson location called me back to bring me up for onsite...

    Any tips on getting the CHEAPEST wireless-G device to get my xbox on Live?

    Yeah, I had a lot of trouble at first trying to get the client mode to work on the 2nd WRT54G. I figured if I ran the second router in client mode, then it should act as a bridge and connect to the 1st WRT54G. It never worked for me, so I abandoned that method and am using WDS instead...

    Any tips on getting the CHEAPEST wireless-G device to get my xbox on Live?

    Are you using a Linksys WRT54G? I got creative with my Xbox setup and bought two WRT54Gs, one for the internet connection, and the other to connect my Xbox via ethernet cable. I also used the Sveasoft firmware to enable the bridging mode on one of the routers and had it connect to the one...

    Buying a Laptop off Ebay?

    I just bought a Latitude D600 from eBay about a month ago. When I got it, I checked the warranty status on Dell's site using the service tag, and saw that it still had much of the 3 year warranty left. Plus, the laptop was only 4 months old. However, from what I read, I figured I couldn't get...

    Ultimate Dorm Room Shopping Thread

    i've got a 19" samsung 191t and i lock it up using a kensington lock/cable - it's the same thing you use to lock notebooks to a desk. i know that on many samsung models, if you look on the back, there'll be a really small rectangular slot with a lock symbol on it as the place to insert the...

    iPod

    i picked up one of those v2 10gb touchpad refurbs for $199 at the apple store a week or two ago... been really happy with it, packaged like it was practically new. i also picked up an itrip with it, and have had pretty decent luck with it. however, the things i have noticed: -there is a high...

    Chappelle's Show

    i think one of my fav episodes is the one where he's a drug addict and goes into the class full of kids and teaches them about drugs... plus also one of the very first ones where he does a parody of the mitsu eclipse commercial. chappelle's show is the greatest... hope it gets high enough...

    Samsung 955DF DynaFlat 19" CRT for $136.45 (AR $50 Rebate)

    put me down also for a korean made 955df, have had no problems whatsoever, but i bought it like 2+ years ago and paid like $250+. i too have heard about the problems with some of the non-korean made units (ones from mexico?), but if you get a good one, the monitor itself is a great value- wish...

    What game console wins the Xmas sales wars?

    I picked up a GC during the $25 rebate offer last week- makes the console even cheaper, but it kinda worries me at the same time since it may indicate a weakness in sales here in N. America. But man, my platinum GC looks a lot more bling than I thought it would. As far as I know, GC and Xbox...
