Alright genius, riddle me this. I got this question when interviewing with Google.
You have 1 million distinct seven digit phone numbers. You have to store them in 2MB of RAM.
How would you do this optimally? Can you sort them? In what time can you sort them?
Hacking php or having Visual Studio 2005 write all your ASP.NET/C# code for you does not constitute being proficient in Computer Science. My theory class at Georgia Tech was hard as hell, and I loved every minute of it. In order to function in my current research job I need to understand all sorts of concepts such as: statistics, information theory, complex geometry, graph theory, digital signal processing, and many other purely mathematical concepts.
Pardon the flame, but I get intense when people call CS easy. I usually reference some of the machine learning related research papers I'm currently reading, and that usually shuts people up pretty quick.
