<div class="IPBDescription">Aiiiiie!</div> So an engineer from nVidia is going to be calling me in 40 minutes to conduct an hour interview for an internship position this summer. I've wanted to intern there for quite a while, and I'm scared twitching right now. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    GL.

    Try to compromise between showing off and being modest,
    Sit down!
    Don't let anyone distract you; find a quiet room with a comfy chair. Never conduct interviews over the phone standing up.

    That obivous advice asside, you'll do fine I'm sure. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Thanks for the support everybody. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> It went well. I think it was a good conversation. I couldn't answer some of his questions very well cause I was spazzing out, but we were chuckling about things, and I think I made a good impression.

    You might be interested to know that if you are trying to pick a random location for the position of a dimple on an orange, you can get a perfectly uniform distribution by picking a random height and picking a random longitude. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Its interesting how they do their card design. They first code up what they are trying to implement in C++, then they translate that into hardware instructions, which are then translated into hardware.
    I'd be doing the C++ coding at the top.

    Wow. I thought somehow that all the fanboyism and hyperbole that people usually use to talk about tech companies would evaporate once we started talking about real situations with real people and real jobs. Instead, a lot of you guys seem to be stuck in this parallel universe in which rival companies battle it out with tactical nukes and cut out the tongues and eyes of the loyalists of the other side. For Christ's sake, grow up. There are bad business decisions and good business decisions, and every company makes both. But there are scant few <i>evil</i> business decisions, particularly when we are talking about a company that makes hardware to play games.

    Relax. Aneurisms suck.
