Microsoft Interview Question Software Engineer in Tests
1. when the device is built by MSFT because it has "windows"
2. or when george bush is in charge of the device because he's high
That was a really stupid comment. If you're going to bash Microsoft at least try to be funny.
it is funny and smart at the same time. cause windows has takes more time to bootup compared to OSX and Ubuntu/ Linux
Funny and smart at the same time? Wow no shit!? Both at the same time. You're easily amused.
wow...looks like Just Another Microsoft Employee (JAMiE) p*ssed at ppl who dont like microsoft products. as usual
Adding to the Anonymous reply. If the teleportation happens at speed of light or beyond. Then, you may end up traveling to the past. Which implies that you will go back to the state where you were getting ready to leave to office, every time you start off on your teleportation machine.
Yes, if the teleportation is via tachyons (faster than light particles), and the reference frame of the world within which you're being transported is moving with respect to the teleportation device, you can show that depending on the speed of the tachyons and the reference frame, that there are cases where the tachyons will be traveling backward in time. You can show this easily using a light cone diagram and coordinate axes for the two reference frames.
When you ask the teleportation device "Are we there yet!", "Are we there yet!", "Are we there yet!"...
When the physical distance takes less time to walk than to transport. Transporter completes the cycle in 7 seconds, so walking across a room can take less time. The 7s is just for the transport cycle. There's time necessary to input the coordinates, verify they're not inside a mountain or moving vehicle, etc., getting on and off the pad (and people who take their time doing so), safety check of the buffer and energizing coils, and a host of other things between each transport. So what if there's a long line for the transporter? It's safe to assume not everyone can afford one, so there would be a transporter station like a bus stop. If you're in a city, and it takes you 10 minutes to walk a couple blocks to your destination, but the transporter station at your street corner has 30 people waiting for it, it's possible that you'll get there faster by walking.
Another situation is when there's a power outage that affects the transporter.
