TEN THINGS THAT AN INTERVIEWER LOOKS IN YOU!

TEN THINGS THAT AN INTERVIEWER LOOKS IN YOU!
1. Family Background

2. Education

3. Experience

4. Stability

5. Initiative

6. General Ability

7. Interpersonal Skills

8. Confidence

9. Aptitude

10. Pleasant Looks

How one wished that an interview were a simple meeting of minds and hearts. Just one casual meeting where an employee's future gets sealed. Unfortunately, it's not something as pre-ordained as you would like it to be; it's a pre-meditated exercise which fetches you dividends only if your homework is done right.

Install Picasa 3.8 over the original Picasa 3.0 for Linux.

Install Picasa 3.8 over the original Picasa 3.0 for Linux.



Step 1 (optional): install the latest Wine via PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine


Step 2: Add the Google Testing PPA

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ testing non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list" sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 7FAC5991


Step 3: Install Picasa 3.0

Yes, Picasa 3.0, but we'll update it in the next step:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install picasa


Step 4: Download and install Picasa 3.8 for Windows:

cd && wget http://dl.google.com/picasa/picasa38-setup.exe wine picasa38-setup.exe


Step 5: Now all we have to do is copy the Picasa 3.8 files over 3.0 using the following command:
sudo cp -r ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Google/Picasa3/* /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Google/Picasa3/


Now run Picasa 3.8 from Applications > Graphics > Picasa > Picasa.


Important note: Don't click the "Places" button as it will freeze Picasa 3.8 and it will fail to start again!

Definition of: feature size

Definition of: feature size 

The size of the elements on a chip, which is designated by the "DRAM half pitch." The smallest feature size is generally smaller than the feature size for a technology generation (technology node). For example, the 180 nm technology generation will have gate lengths smaller than 180 nm.

Definition of: DRAM half pitch 

The common measure of the technology generation of a chip. It is half the distance between cells in a dynamic RAM memory chip. For example, in 2002, the DRAM half pitch had been reduced to 130 nm (.13 micron). By 2006, it had shrunk to 65 nm (.065 micron).
