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...

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...

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...

Any reason NOT to get Kingmax PC3200 instead of Samsung PC2700? (for 1.6A OC)

just wanted to give you a heads up, i got a stick of CTL and not DTL 512MB PC2700 samsung from newegg. perhaps i got super lucky, but i had thought that since everyone was getting DTL sticks, that i'd probably get a DTL stick too. anyways, i ordered on monday, and got it yesterday.

Should I be wary of buying Oakleys on eBay?

if you buy off ebay, you're most likely not going to be able to make a warranty claim through oakley if your glasses break during the warranty period... you need a receipt from an 'oakley authorized dealer'. so if you're willing to take the chance that they'll last through the warranty...

Poll: This Weekend's Flicks

saw windtalkers about a month ago during a sneak preview on our campus. i didn't think it was really that great a movie, a bit boring and cliched, and very 'john wooish' if you know what i mean. without giving too much away, it seemed more like an action film (ala MI:2) than a war movie...

**Update** $132 P4-1.6a (shipped) @ Newegg and Mainboard comparision to go with.

just curious, would using pc2400 or pc2700 ddr ram be better than pc2100 in overclocking a NW 1.6a/P4B266-C setup? like doesn't that mean you can jack the FSB up higher? for example, i may consider buying cheaper generic pc2400 or pc2700 than buying a stick of 256mb crucial pc2100...
