Exactly. For instance, where I live, the city is offering incentives to switch to low-flow models. They point out the monetary savings and ecological advantages, and then offer a $50 rebate on a bunch of models.
My hometown (Calgary, AB) has a weather site that's built on the 1-Wire set. He's using a Java servlet and a plotting library to present the data from his station, and he's also scraping forecasts and data from other sites.
I thought the same thing, and I was thinking somebody had beaten me to market with my new line of vacuuming, lawn-mowing, and snow-removing attachments for the Segway.
You have to look at the alternate meanings of "\0". It's also referred to as null or nought. Now a creative interpretation could be made that GPL\0 actually means GPL(not). IANAL, but this might actually be a sound argument...
To me, the feature I'd most like to see added is the ability to change the default line ending. If I'm working on a Windows machine, that doesn't mean I want CR/LF line endings in my code. It's should be a simple thing to add to the preferences, but they just haven't done it...
It's actually BOB. Acronym for "Brains On Board". It was a 8086-based autonomous robot that could get you a beer from the fridge (if you had an AndroFridge - also sold by Androbot Inc.)
That doesn't mean they're not reinsuring you though... Insurance companies spread the risk around. One company will reinsure another company's policies.
I think you've come closest yet to spotting the real flaw in the argument, but just missed it. The key is that in bridge-building, or in construction, the engineer is the designer / overseer / authority on the job. He (or she) is NOT the person doing the actual construction.
Somehow in the last decade, programmers have become referred to as "engineers". They're generally not. They're computer programmers. Sure, some (such as myself) may have engineering degrees, but that doesn't make us engineers. Accreditation by a recognized engineering association (which I don't have...), with all the responsibility and accountability of the profession go along with being an engineer. Software has very little in the way of accountability (EULAs anyone?), and as such, it's development would be more rightly considered skilled labour than engineering at least 99 times out of 100.
Just saying eclipse is going to lead to a host of "But Java's too slow" replies. What makes eclipse such a great choice is the SWT components. Not only do you get a great IDE, but you get native speed in the components, with a changeable look & feel. And the "free" part helps too...

Guys c'mon this is getting ridiculous now. This complaint has been posted before on another level of nesting. This is becoming a children's site and NOT something I can trust to read the news.

They have a link on the page to this, with more info (including independent testing of several models).

That's only 1 mile per PSI (and it takes 2 tanks to do it). That was achieved YEARS ago. Not impressed...

They're evil, and they're out to get us. Think of the children!

oops.
This is pretty much an official press release.
If you have some cycles to spare, maybe you can help out these guys. They're working toward the graphical portage, etc. that we all really want...
All you need is about 100 of them, and something to flip them with...

This site is all about car-mounted PCs. I'm pretty sure it's the same guy that sells this DC/DC power supply.

Pong was cool, but Bob was definitely Bushnell's best...
But, you at least get to blow shit up... right?

I thought it was "Services for UniX"

All you need is Sean Young, and an owl on a pedestal, and you've got Tyrell's office...
Hit & miss, but generally pretty good.
