Did CodeProject actually buy you that helicopter in the end? Nice.
No helipad alas - too ostentatious, but we do have a lamppost you can chain a bicycle to.

I hate all the "interview questions" articles that keep popping up. They usually list a single, short answer, like there's only one way to do something! I keep trying to kill these "articles" with little success. Their authors and a bunch of noobs with article approval rights keep pushing them through.

I tend to "Extremely Poor Quality" vote them as well...

An AJAX list box populates based on a selection of a previous list box. A time passes of several seconds before query is fully executed and the next list box can be loaded.
Provide options, and possible solutions. All answers must be in c# with IIS and SQL Server is backend. For extra credit provide solution in Java assuming Tomcat with MySQL backend.
You have 5 minutes, good luck.

I do not thin someone can get any job based only interview today - as I know most companies run the candidate through some practical test that connected to the field the company works in and can not be done without real knowledge... Maybe people just out of college do not know it?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Sadly, many companies seem content to hire any yahoo who wanders through the door, as long as they are able to blink and breathe at the same time.

True - well, they :blink: :gasp: hired me!

This past Monday, the Metro Detroit area I live in got slammed with torrential rainfall. 3"-5"+ in about 8 hours.
Some video showing the flooding: Hayes Road Flooded Aerial Drone Video[^]
The drone starts the video by looking and flying southbound on Hayes Road. The area you can see in the camera footage has been known to flood in the past, but never like this in the last 50 years. Hayes Road has had water over it before, but only a couple of inches deep. The cars you see in the water are in the middle of Hayes Road at a high spot and were still completely submerged at one point during the storm. At the time this video was taken, the water had receded about 18".
I used to live not far from that area 25 years ago. Here's a map[^] of what it looks like dry.

As if Detroit didn't have enough problems already. Looks bad!
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Some cat said Islip, New York got 21 inches of rain in 24 hours recently, breaking the New York State record. Here in California, we have a severe drought, but an El Nino is predicted to start soon - hopefully it doesn't end up being TOO much all at once...
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I was just thinking that it's too bad they couldn't pipeline flood waters to drought areas.
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, that would require a vast infrastructure that, like everything else, would be falling apart now.
|
|
|
|
|
Hope you manage to stay afloat!...good luck!

Most of the Metro area flooded to some degree. I got lucky. I had street flooding but nothing came back up the sewer line to my basement. There are people around me that though that had a couple of feet of water in their basements.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, we've had water in our basement...keep a gas powered pump handy for when the power goes out and the sump pump fails.
|
|
|
|
|
Yikes! That's awful.

I'm surprised the water hasn't quickly run off. The landscape seems very...convex...in the flooded area.
