1. If the car has 2 way communications it can use a central database for those 37 CDs of data. So map updates would not be a problem. It'll also be useful for Big Brother to keep track of your movements... So, it's a win-win in the Gov' eyes;)
2. Cars don't normally hyperjump from one road to another, so once the current road has been located then it's NOT impossible (I didn't say easy) to figure out which road you are on. EVEN in the merge from one on/offramp to another! YES, Because regular old shitty GPS will give you accurate bearing info to less than a degree if you're moving more than about 5 mph. The bearing info is incredibly useful.
just add zero to everyone's current number. it's easy to remember.
it's easier than "remembering" that area codes are not 3 digits - but actually 4 digits, like 1-800 (or for those insane people 0-800).
And it'll have the added bonus of just increasing phone numbers by 1 digit.
of course the bozos with 1 800 free call will be a litle upset.
Also, security by obscurity doesn't work. The only way anyone can trust a cryptographic algorithm is if it is made public and lots of well-known crypto people have analysed it and tried to break or weaken it.

Almost exactly one half of the American population is, of course, below average intelligence. Thus, making the cuts could potentially increase sales by a large $ value.
On the other hand, almost exactly half of the British population is above average intelligence.
Obviously, the American publishers belong to the former group and the British publishers are in the latter.
C++ is one of those portable languages. This means that programmers spend a lot of time porting the code from one machine or Operating System or IDE to another.
I think your entry level C++ class should concentrate on the language first and save the advanced problems of why Jimmy's code won't compile on Tom's computer for another class.
So, that means in an enrty level class you all have to be using the same machine, OS,IDE, Service Pack, Screen Saver, etc..
As it so happens, the unofficial Perl conference named yapc::America (Yet Another Perl Conference) costs $75 for three full days of talks and whatnot. The idea isn't to fleece people to death, but instead provide an interesting medium for discusssion about Perl.
A European YAPC (yapc::Europe) is also being planned, but as it'll be in London accomodation will cost way more than the conference fees:-(
Note that Inktomi say the "number of reachable Web sites" is 4,217,324, while Netcraft found 9,560,866 last month. Isn't this a bit poor for a company that's trying to index the web? Even Netcraft reckons it isn't finding the whole web...
You state that the profits from the IPO will help you move into European markets. This would allow me to get a VA Linux box, so I'm all for it. What kind of timescale do you see this happening in? What countries will be first? And will you set up a research lab in Europe similar to what you currently have in the states?
You've got it all wrong. Netcraft finds new hosts by walking the DNS (amongst other methods). So just putting a website out there with a proper domain name makes it available.

Oh, and a quick way to find out about Perl Monger Chapters in your neck of the woods is the fairly-up-to-date and quite-underpublicised Bath.pm Perl Monger World Map.

Do you really see TCL as being wieldy enough for large-scale website construction?

Because it's the "Comprehensive *Perl* Archive Network"! You're welcome to go for "CCAN", though ;-)
