can anyone give some tips that worked on gaining weight ?

compound lifts (look up Starting Strength), and eat everything in sight all day. 3000+ kcal.

I'm up 18 lbs in 4 months.

I don't know why C++ is much hated when all the big applications at amazon, google, microsoft, adobe, apple are written in C++. I think it's the best practical language for good scalable applications.

That's debatable. It is, however, the most widely known language (besides maybe java?) that you can write the types of applications that C++ is used for in.

Someday you may think of working there..then this kind of post will haunt you ;)

We need someone like Linus Torvalds for mobile os.

It's terrible , cannot even compare to the iphone !!

any business books which are pleasure to read.

You can see my comment below for a short list. Art of the Start is a great place to begin. It covers everything with a very pragmatic approach and is very easy to read. "The Power of Unfair Advantage" is a great book that I don't often hear people talking about. I just don't think it's that well known. I highly recommend it.

Thanks!

Thanks PG, Can you name some of the books which you found more useful ?

I think he automated a script to do interesting submissions and amazing comments ;)

They spend millions on free food..can't they spend few more k's for good engineers ..strange ?

It is, I don't understand what's going on. Maybe a reflection of the times there.
