Nope, he means 70 mph (113 km/h), and yes, you just gotta pull out of a T junction and go; no merging lane, no on-ramp. That's a dual carriageway, characterised by two lanes and a central barrier (single carriageways are usually national speed limit, i.e. 60 mph). Bear in mind that as with everywhere else, most people are travelling 10 - 20 mph over the indicated speed limit (and thus probably travelling around 75-80 real mph). Underpowered automatics are death traps.
That said I drive a BMW 330D (straight 6 3L diesel) manual, which probably would be fine as an automatic.
The idea of offloading software functions onto custom hardware built around a TTA is interesting - 5 years ago I used to work for Critical Blue who were writing software to design and build those custom processors and optimise an ISA for them. Worth a look.
www.privoxy.org - slightly more trouble to set up, but it rules on Windows and Linux. I usually set it up on a shared linux box and make it the proxy for my whole subnet.
After you have it running and tell your browser to use it (via network settings / proxies) you can configure it from the browser by hitting config.privoxy.org.
You will need to whitelist some sites (and specifically some edge caches for things like BBC streaming video to work), but it's usually not too hard. You can always bypass privoxy completely from the browser proxy settings, and it works for ANY browser (and things that aren't browsers but use IE for web access, like advert-loaded download "accelerators" should you be unfortunate enough to need to use one.
Lafferty finds a fairly strong correlation ( r2 of 0.38 )...
Only in the social "sciences". Anywhere else, an r2 less than 0.95 is considered unimpressive, and 0.38 would definitely be "poor".

How unfortunate. I just plugged my new camera in and XP immediately offered up a Scanner and Camera wizard to transfer the images, with an Advanced option to just open an explorer window onto the camera as a filesystem. No drivers, no hassle, zero-click.
Mind you, this is a reasonably expensive camera (Canon Powershot 3IS). Perhaps proper USB support in the peripheral makes more difference than the OS??
As a LAMP developer I was recently offered a position with the opportunity to grow into.NET development. Gee thanks. What is the bonus package like? Kick in the nuts? (SWITCH-NO-SNARK)A salary?
Not really. VAT exempt is not the same as zero-rated for VAT as any book keeper knows. The difference is whether you can claim VAT back on purchases which you subsequently supply as exempt.
Yeah, right. Rails is SO robust and handles database problems SO well. Just look at this, and the 10 month old bug report.. And don't give me that crap about needing to use native DB drivers. Rails is buggy, immature and not ready for the prime time. If I was feeling malicious, I'd also add that it's the over-hyped darling from the same stable of over-hyped "technologies" as eXtreme Programming.
...login password. Which, as other posters have pointed out, can be cracked in a matter of minutes using a precomputed hash table
Only if LANMAN hashes are available, which hasn't been necessary for about 4 years. Also, syskey allows encryption of the master EFS key with a further encryption key which can be stored on removeable media. It's still possible to brute force, but that's not exactly a matter of minutes.
No, wrong chemistry. I think you're thinking of calcium carbide, which reacts with water to produce acetylene. This was commonly used in lamps, carriage headlight etc. before bulb & battery lights became widespread.
CO2 is an odd substance; if you try to liquify it at normal pressures, it simply freezes. To make liquid CO2 you need to pressurize it. At the triple point you'd need 5 atm. of pressure, at -56 deg. C. Colder, you get solid "dry ice". Warmer, you need more pressure (equals increased wall thickness, cost, safety risk...). I think the can would end up being made of heavy grade aluminium for safety reasons.
Ever hear of professional negligence? I'm an engineer; we have a professional standard for competance, something which I would have hoped would be understood by the IEEE of all people. If I give bad advice to a client, I'm liable for that advice!
Well, thanks for following up to correct yourself; more than many bother to do. Enjoy the holiday weekend, I'm in the UK so no parties here (unless you count the G8 protests in Edinburgh...)
Yeah, and the Fourier theorem says that any signal can be decomposed into a set of orthogonal functions (sin and cos form an orthogonal set) of different frequencies, so by definition it works; you've decomposed your signal into sine waves and only require 2 points to reconstruct the highest frequency of relevance.
If this stuff didn't work, how the hell do you think MP3 manages to THROW AWAY 90% of the information in a file and still sound even vaguely close. Same principles...
This article is basically an advert for LC Audio (whose own stuff doesn't look anything special - look at the ringing on the scope trace of their wunderkind clock oscillator), mixed in with the usual audiophile crap (where's the blind A/B comparison?) with a healthy dose of stupidity; anyone advocating replacing safety-rated components on the mains side with unrated "audiophile" grade parts deserves to be sued by the first idiot who burns his house to the ground. The mains is a hostile environment, those components are designed to fail open-circuit for a REASON!
Shift-right click on control panel applets gives you a runas menu item for most of them (except networks, infuriatingly enough, which appears to have its own set of ACLS).
Yes, it's rougly equal to US HDTV in terms of resolution - good, but significantly worse than film when projected several metres across. The vertical line spacing is going to be approximately 3mm...
So, does the Eclipse support still suck? Since the last time I looked, there at least seems to be a 100% Java SVN interface which replaces the hell that was JNI, but it doesn't seem to support all features...
Easy answer - Microsoft Action Pack (server platforms + multiple client licenses) costs about £200. Go to the partner program website for details. For developer tools as other people have said you want the MSDN.
I think you'll find that the java.nio classes are actually non-blocking IO, not native IO.
I believe some parts of the java.nio classes are handled natively - the memory mapped byte buffers, for example, are not a pure Java implementation. The details of the implementation are deliberately concealed by the API with enough wiggle room to use mmap() or the Win32 equivalent.
