IBM Internship Interview [ go ]
I had my interview with IBM last night. I most definitely wasn’t prepared for any of the questions they asked(3 guys). First question was asking what the difference between a stack and a heap, which I know I should know, but couldn’t remember it for the life of me. Another question which I hit dead on was what is the difference between Real-Time OS and regular OSes, that one was easy; but then it filtered into what is the difference between how ram/CPU utilization is used with processes, yea, kinda BS’ed those. But, I got the job, I believe his name was Lee, is going to submit my packet to HR and see if they will pay for the flight there and back. Here is the rough description of my job (older posting they used):

I talked to Dad this morning and he said for me to not worry about the flight or money for an apartment, if need be he said he would pitch in and pay for the flight or apartment for me. Thanks dad!
