Yeah, looking more into it or talking to people, it was totally a scam. Hell, the DUNS Website has a small business package for 599 dollars about how they'll give you a complete credit makeover and score and accreditation for more jobs.
Now I'm just totally pissed that they made me feel like I'm in danger of failing to meet some requirement. And this woke me from a two hour sleep. So I was completely dehydrated, queasy, and out of it. I did manage to not give them any numbers or my email address, so I escaped without danger. (And if they try to persist, I'll tell them to fuck off.)
Warnings? No-one reads warnings because they assume its stupid bullshit about 'risk of shock' or other stuff that's required for CYA litigation purposes and not something to do with like, you know, not ruining your shit.
Well, he admits that he used to think in a racist way at a time during his youth, and the way it is described it was the result of the racism inflicted upon him.
Somebody being dumb. I mean, you should be able to do that to some degree. But it's, one again, not a test of either your academic computer science knowledge or your ability to write code. It's more of a memory test.
Found out that exams for my programming units require students to write code out by hand rather than on a computer / IDE / text editor. WTF is this.
It's good practice for when you're on a job interview for a programming job. You'll often be tasked with writing code by hand on a whiteboard.
Yeah one of the students a few years ahead of me was employed by the US branch of Google, he was flown the Sydney headquarters and had to write code in a Google Docs file while being observed.
I've been practising for it so far and I keep on making compile errors or forget (especially in Java) what form my output is in (e.g. lang object versus String). I understand it will come to me more easily as I continue to use the language but it gets confusing when learning 2 languages simultaneously.
I found it hilarious when I tried to use Python slicing and list comprehension for a Java problem.
I can't personally say what I think about him, because I don't have an hour to kill, but it has been hilarious to watch some of my conservative friends slowly transition from "Fuck yeah liberal party" to "Oh god what have we done?"

This would explain the Reese's product placement.
Also, scroll down to take a look at the people they're currently targeting as possible 'flavors.' Interesting, grotesque, kind of funny, and possibly even real. I can only imagine who will actually say yes.
And yes, of course!
