Estes is the company that makes the model rockets that a lot of us shot as kids.
They made, later in my youth, model jets powered by "glow" engines, that burned for a few minutes instead of a few seconds. This way, you could fly a model jet around.
I think that they had a Star Trek Enterprise model that took glow engines. I know that they had a model that you could launch off your pad.
I don't know if this is the same model. Probably not, since the guy would get badly burned if he shot glow engines off in his face.
I never owned a model that took glow engines though. I think that most of them piggybacked on more powerful boosters off a launch pad, and then the user remotely fired the glows when he could see the thing clearly enough to control it.
I disagree. Assembly and C++ are also more efficient in the way that they do business.
On a side note, I added you as a friend. I don't generally speak my mind directly about issues such as those addressed by this article, becuase I know that my point of view is unpopular, but I find myself agreeing with quite a bit of what you said.
Aside from that last part. Excellent design can come out of programming in assembly/C/C++.
I would imagine that creators of AP tests are trying to test what a student entering university would test out of. At my alma matter, the first class was basically coding, then data structures, then algorithms and hashing, and so forth.
The language seems unimportant to us because it is unimportant to us, but with no knowledge of any languages, how is a student to learn the rest?
Right, but that LS1 is naturally aspirated. You could turbo/supercharge it too. Camaro enthusiasts routinely go well over 400 HP with forced induction.
Considering that the LS1 engine that came stock on the Z-28 and SS modes pumps 305-320 (and thats underrated, the same engine powers Corvettes, and Chevy understated the output so it wouldn't cut into Corvette sales). Popping a turboed WRX engine in there is hardly an "upgrade."
Slashdot Mirror
Kicking it around. It has a good feature set... but the IR reminds me of my old NES controllers that never really worked right.
This is what I want. Bluetooth. Does it exist?
Ick. Infared.
Wow... finally a topic that has left /. speechless.
Wow, that robot costs $46,000... but when they cost $23,000, they'll be more willing to blow it up.
I love DoD projects.
Darn you posters who don't read the article! It quite clearly says: "OEã1"NSÔÉí½ÁÄ1"ú1ñÈãSY"-OEfZ¦"Âð`FbNé ;B"
Ahh, didn't make out the propeller first time around.

This service lets you use the program to simulate the analytical writing section of the GRE.

Just to fully clarify the espresso vs regular coffee issue.

Yes, the grind is different, but this is a source to clarify against the rumor that espresso has less caffeine (the initial premise of my post!)

Wow, that OS must have a teeny footprint, at a mere 800 Megs for the source code!
...don't let friends run OpenLinux.
What's Pure-Data modular?
Actually, DDoS attacking every site before /. posts it is probably a great idea... Just to make sure ;-)
I just had to make the Gibson reference.
Yeah, about ditto for my school (that I graduated from). Still, you start with programming, and the move onto the more intellectual stuff.

That doesn't really cover "first year" CS though.

Who races on mountain roads? WRX = Rally Car... Camaro = Drag Racer/Formula 1/Nice flat strips. Camaros live on drag strips. Nice and flat.

Remember Netscape?
This could very well be Sun Microsystems assuring that their product line lives after they do.
They scrapped the Sparc V processor, and let Microsoft start marketting the MSVM again.
I don't think that this represents any kind of competition at all.
You can't connect to cams via AIM/Yahoo with gnomemeeting/netmeeting.
It's a different program, with a different aim.
It seems like a lot until you realize that the parking meter application was written in Java.

That's what I started at.
