Petition Supporting the Extradition of Roman Polanski

Petition Supporting the Extradition of Roman Polanski

Disgusted

Why in the world Roman Polanski should be forgiven of his crimes ?

I am absolutely disgusted by the artistes who have petitioned for his release and the list includes some very big names like Moncia Bellucci . Even some of the diplomats and politicians have supported the same. I want to ask these petition supporters would you have still signed the petition if it had been your daughter or sister. Would a normal person even have stood a chance if he had raped a 13 year old girl in USA and confessed to the crime. Not a shot in this world. Any other person would have got a life long sex-offender tag as well as at least a 5 year jail term amongst the most hardened criminals in USA.

First he absconded from the country and now he seeks a dismissal of the case, on what grounds? The judge did not deal fairly does not mean you did not commit the rape or your rape was legal.

You may have made the world's best movies but that does not allow you the right to rape children. The man needs to come back, serve his sentence and put this behind him, he should have done that a long long time ago.

In my opinion nail that SOB and get him to his deserved place, PRISON.

Share the petition stated in the previous post if you agree with me.

Ciao

P.S. Big fan of his movies but not him as a person.

Cities

In the last six months I have lived in four different cities Syracuse, Redlands, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara in chronological order, visited another five Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Las Vegas. It feels like I am on some kinda City steroid regime.

All my life I have been on the move since my father had a transferable job but that was like a move once every 3-4 years, never in my life did I have such a streak of moving around and constantly getting to see new places. Even though all this moving has been part of the job-hunt process, in some ways I feel great that I have seen so much of the world at just 25 years of age.

Some cities I want to live in future are

New York, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney, London and a few more, given the current trends I think I can complete this list by the time I am 35 ;). Lucky I would be if I can achieve that.


Ciao

P.S. I have not counted the cities I saw on my cross-country drive from New York to California in April :D.

You call yourself a programmer ??

If yes then try to explain this statement to your brain

some really efficient, extensible,abstract templatized interface ,templatized on the function pointer to some creational policy , possessing user-friendly traits ,providing the client a beautiful mechanism to create the base class pointers to derived classes through createinstance() ,having overloaded operator paran "functor" to hold the previously created function state obtained by parsing a newly dequed XML -serialized message class object , received by a client socket from a remote server thread .............................eventually producing output

Funniest Job Interview

Very recently a gaming company contacted me back regarding a job opening they had. Well as always the first step is a phone interview so I agreed to it and sent them a schedule of my availability (on Tuesday) that I am available on Thursday and Friday.

The fun starts here:


I get a call on 'Wednesday', the dude asks me these questions in 10 minutes,

1.Do u play MMO games?
2.What kind of games do you play?
3.Are you familiar with C++?
4.What is a constructor?
5.What is the difference between a constructor and a method?
6.Have you ever worked for a gaming company? (Only No I said in the whole process)
7.Have you worked in a build and release environment?
8.Are you familiar with perforce?
9.Did you make integrations in Perforce?

And within 20 minutes I get a letter of rejection. What could have he possible concluded about my technical abilities specially when I did not make a single mistake. Well there was nothing to make a mistake, the questions were so damn simple.
If he wanted gaming industry experience then it was already evident in my resume that I dint have any of that.

Well if you are out there just to kill time then please do not kill mine :P. I am more than happy to interview as apart from getting the job I stand a very good chance of realizing my weaknesses and areas where I need to work harder, but please do not play around.

Ciao
