Dude, you are set for life! Now my best advice is to not take the job and give them my resume instead. :)

I concur. I always thought that he was a major dumbass.

Please take no offense, pcslookout.

Of course, no offense intended. ;)

I'm just amazed that someone who:
1. Can't understand credit cards
2. Can't understand Netflix
3. Posts a thread with a title like "Google accepted me for a job offer!"

could possibly be "accepted for a job offer" at Google.

Really. I thought it was tough to get in there.

Not only that, but you are under NDA from the first moment you begin being considered for a position at Google.

And you just *know* they'll find this thread. ;)

Aren't you the guy who predicted that 4GB of RAM would be standard and necessary by this month?

Yes and that has happened.

oh. lemme go buy 2 more gigs of ram since apparently my machine isn't standard anymore.
4gbs of ram is completely unnecessary for everyday operation. Only power users would ever dream of needing that much, and its only useful is Vista which handles and accesses memory a lot better.

oh sorry, don't wanna rain on your parade ;)

Fvck! Only 2 weeks before my PC is rendered inoperable due to insufficient memory!


Seriously, do you think anyone here doesn't already know you're the exact polar opposite of a brilliant and talented SW developer by Google standards?

My coworker suggested that we eat at Google today by contacting a few friends. I think we were too well dressed for Google that we would stick out like a sore thumb.

The one plus of the OP getting this job, he won't be here as often bumping every single Usenet topic.

I disagree. 4 GB is now the standard because DX10 is already out and the more DX10 games that come out the more you will see that 4 GB is a need for DX10 because it requires Vista.

I have a 733mgz 128MB machine and running XP.

Will I need another 4000MB?

Dude, wait until you actually work there then scan a paycheck stub or something
to prove it. Oh, and that 4Gb of RAM comment is making you look REAL bad as well,
if your really using that much memory shut off the damm 'puter once in awhile
and get some air....
