She can interview and talk with whomever she wants, in whatever way she wants. Take it or leave it. --- Quote from: Circuiteromalaguito on May 31, 2015, 01:25:17 am ---Pink hair, cool place, collecting AoE editions, interrupting him in the interview all time... Is it a way to hide their lack of background? Does she want so much attention? --- End quote --- Your comment says more about yourself then about her. --- End quote --- I have nothing to hide! I accept negative feedback like in electronics. So shoot me! ;) I'm a total newbie, lack of style, with some mental illness, poor and still unable to get job. But I'm tired of people that have too much style or proffessional ass lickers and gets all the credit or even appropiated others' work, I suffered that in many stuff I did and it's one of the reasons I abandoned many interests. And often times the nerdy people are really hard working on it or even the people struggling at it and having difficulties with the topics but nobody cares of them. Of course I envy their money and resources, who's not in my position! |

I have tried working on the radio and just don't like the sound of my own voice. So in my case I just found that I wanted to hear what he had to say in his words rather than Limor cutting him off. |

I don't know if anybody noticed at the last second of the video (after it went already black) Horowitz saying "There it was more than 5 minutes...". :o |

My favourite part of the interview: "The third edition manuscript was due in December... of 1994, according to our original contract. So we delivered it 20 years late." I wonder how many other people can get away with missing a deadline by 20 years :-DD |

--- Quote from: con-f-use on May 31, 2015, 08:44:12 am ---Another thing, I'd like to read your opinion on: It was the first time I ever saw Horrowitz and heard him talking. You could see how much of an old school scientist he is, his knowledge just oozing out. However, call me a heretic, but for some reason I didn't like him personally. I can't put my finger on it, but I wouldn't want to work for him or take one of his classes. It just seems like he has a vicious side. Its like he tried to come across nice, when he really isn't. --- End quote --- I took Physics 123 from Paul Horowitz many years ago. At least from the perspective of a student, I can say that he really is a very nice guy. He is an excellent teacher. I remember he was very approachable, patient, happy to answer questions, and he exuded an infectious enthusiasm for electronics (and physics). |
