the hitchhiker's guide to vivas

how to get outta ur pracs unscathed :

1. Remember, the external is not ur friend.
2. Remember, the external is not ur friend.
3. Never ever say that u read that in Tanenbaum.
4. Defend what you say vociferously, no matter how much offtrack u've gone. Never accept u are wrong, u'll flunk, but u still got ur dignity right ?
5. For the girls, crying on the bench helps. Will some courageous guy please volunteer to try this for our sake ?
6. If ur external has done a Ph.D. in RS 232 , steer 10 miles clear of that topic. I tell from experience.
7. The first batch is always the sacrificial lamb. Again, having the initials AB, I tell from experience.
8. Use floppies, CDs and thumb drives to copy programs generously. Dont be like me and end up being the only fool who actually did the program.
9. Remember, bullshit baffles brains ! But externals have no brains...

FYI : viva comes from the latin, 'viva voce' meaning live voice, and not from that idiotic band.
