Re: How many bytes per Italian character?

Joe,

I can only imagine how your interviews go.
It makes me laugh just thinking about your interview with MS.
Your right, there wrong, you become argumentative and they
don't hire you because you have an attitude.

I am sure everybody has some interview story. I was just venting.

Here is another rant.
During a phone interview, the interview asked "How do you insert elements
into a listbox?".
(I would pay cash to hear an interviewer ask you that question.)
I mentioned that I had implemented a Virtual List Control and that was a
pretty trivial task in comparison.
The interviewer had never heard of a Virtual List Control.
I said it was something like add. I would actually have to view my code to
see how I actually did it.
I also mentioned that it was possible to add a view to a dialog box.
The interviewer said that could not be done.
The interview ended.

One of the top questions I have been asked is about pure virtual functions.
I understand what they are, but I have yet to actually implement them.
