The interviewer asked, for a minute and a half, over and over in a hostile cross-examination fashion, if they were going to fix their "security problems."

To which he should have replied something like: "Let's be clear: our security problem, if you want to use the term, is that our security is too good for governments to easily circumvent." Then point out that the governments already have this access to other forms of communication, that RIM must comply with local government requirements, that RIM is working to clearly communicate to their users that truthful state of government access so that users can decide for themselves whether Blackberrys are private enough for their needs [not sure if this last part is true, but it should be]. The other option (to pull out of these markets) makes no sense for RIM and does nothing to help dissidents either.

Hey, can I be CEO now?

The point with a question like this is that there is no one right answer, although there are many wrong ones. If you're proficient in C++ could could answer about the syntax and technical characteristics, or about reusable components comprising state and behaviour, whatever your way of looking at it is. But the key is that you need to already have an established understanding that you can express somehow. (The ability to verbalize abstract concepts may be just as important as technical details).

So to answer your question: life is all the moments between when you're born and when you die. There, that wasn't so hard.
