ask them how to properly handle an exception, soon as they start talking let out a deep heavy sigh to let know that they're wrong

I ask this, but I expect to hear about exception vectors, saving context, and switching stacks and processor modes.

wait was the question to detect if you actually saw the movie because it's one of the best die hards, possibly two in the ranking

It's one continuous form where hardware and software function in perfect unison, creating a new generation of iPhone that's better by any measure.

ideally I would hastily assemble a generic bucketing system to hold 5 gallons only to be told after completion that business requirements have changed and that the 5 gallon bucket should hold 7

OK I forget the exact nature of the buckets it was 5 years ago. I checked after the interview though and it was exactly as stated in due hard 3

Also the guy who asked me that question got laid off 6 months later
