10/4    So I need a haircut, and I decided not to forgive the place I
        usually go for screwing up my last haircut.  What's a place in
        Berkeley that y'all have found satisfactory?  --PeterM
        \_ Narcissus - Ask For Kim.
        \_ Scissors/mirror.  Alternative: female companion/scissors.
           \_ what's wrong w/ a guy cutting a guy's hair?  homophobe...
                \_ OH HELP HELP! I'M A BERKELEY NATIVE AND I'M BEING OPPRESSED!
                   SOMEONE DIDN'T MENTION MY PARTICULAR SEXUAL DEVIANCY AND
                   THUS *MUST* BE A HOMOPHOBE!!!!  QUICK!  SMEAR THEM!!!!  The
                   answer to your pre-biased question is: nothing.  Why don't
                   you suggest it yourself instead of slinging mud?  Or maybe
                   you'd be happier and feel like more of a Victim if I said,
                   "I'd never ask another guy to cut my hair, only faggots cut
                    other guy's hair and I don't want AIDS from some scissor
                    wielding faggot!".  Feel more victimized now?  Happier?
                    \_ I don't care about the race, sex, sexual orientation,
                       or religious creed of my haircutter, so long as
                       they're good at their job, don't charge too much, and
                       don't believe in sacrificing customers to their God.
                       Could someone please recommend a satisfactory
                       haircutter?  --PeterM
                       \_ How'bout that place by $1.11 Chinese food near Un3

10/4    Where can I get a list of interesting interview/thinking/logic
        questions? (i.e. "you have n balls, sort it by...") Thx.
        \_ Try rec.puzzles or alt.brain.teasers
        \_ You're going to throw ranom puzzle questions at interviewees?  What
           are you thiking?  Unless you work at Puzzle Magazine Inc. this is
           a lame idea.  You work for Catbert?
           \_ Maybe it's for self-preparation.
                \_ Oh God... you're applying for the wrong job unless it's at
                   Puzzle Mag.
        \_ Notwithstanding the "wrong job" idea, I've heard of and have been
           asked several puzzle questions.  You have a game.  There are two
           players.  One player places a quarter down on a circular table;
           the next player does the same.  This repeats until someone can't
           put a quarter on the table anymore -- that person loses.  No
           overlapping of quarters, placing it on its side, overlapping the
           edge of the table, etc.  What is your strategy to guarantee a win?
           (Do you want to go first or second?)
           Here's another.  You have a fog-covered bridge and a flashlight.
           You have 4 people, and need to get all over the bridge in minimum
           time.  The bridge can only carry two people at a time.  The people
           all walk at different paces:  10 minutes, 5 minutes, 2 minutes, and
           1 minute.  What's the most efficient solution?

10/4    Where can I find the average salary for a Software engineer who has

        2-3 years of working experience by UC? (BA degree from all UCs)
        \_ You can't.  There's no such thing.  You get what you negotiate for.
           Average salaries are a hiring manager and HR scam.  -hiring mgr

10/5    Does anyone have experience shopping for cameras at
        http://www.photographicphoto.com
        \_ Do yourself a favor and go to http://www.bhphotovideo.com
           They are rude, but cheap, efficient and honest.
           \_ Imagine a world where honesty, value an efficiency in a
              retail sales industry was parallelled by politeness and
              respect for the customer... oh, wait... I must be asking for
              too much. God forbid should anyone be polite. -(fucker)
           \_ I saw the price on http://www.photographicphoto.com is considerably
                lower but if you have or have heard of bad experience with
                it please post it.  Thanks.
                \_ Try Adorama or Smile Photo.  B&H is known to have
                   good stuff, but higher prices.  Never heard of this
                   photographicphoto place, but their prices don't seem that
                   low to me.
           \_ I've always had good experience with mail-ordering at B&H
              and CWO (http://www.cameraworld.com  I think they are not rude,
              but they are not the cheapest either.  If you're buying
              popular items, CWO usually has lower prices than B&H.
              Otherwise it's the other way around.  Haven't tried any
              mail-order stores other than these two because I heard
              most others like to cheat.  -- yuen
           \_ I am the one who said B&H are rude but honest...
              I STRONGLY recommend you look at this informal survey:
