I use Discover's Secure Online Account Numbers all over the place. They are only good for the first merchant to charge them, and that merchant can charge indefinitely. You can cancel a single number any time. Charges go to your regular Discover account.
I found them to be a problem on Amazon, because regular purchases come from a "different" merchant than the one that MP3 downloads do and will get declined. So I just have two virtual cards on file and choose the appropriate one.
That is old information. Lithium ion polymer (LiPo) is now the preferred choice for electric RC. These are, by the way, "plastic" batteries themselves.
If you read the article, you'll see that this is the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) in.NET Framework. This isn't for general purpose DLL's as you and I know them, but for.NET assemblies.
...because engineering and mathematics problems are almost certain to need deeply-nested loops eventually. Alas, memory allocators (for C++, anyway) are still painfully slow, and because of this, the speed of your program will be inversely proportional to the level of granularity to which you OO-ify your problem. We all know how slow simple algorithms can be if you have an object for an 'integer'...that gets new'd and deleted a zillion times all over the program.
It's one thing to make an environment where it's easy to plug in new functionality. It's quite another to write good software *in* those modules. Let us not try to get away from the fact that, at whatever level, you can still write good and bad code.
A great framework (like EJB, for instance) is a wonderful, necessary thing, but you still have to know what you're doing to write well to it.
Emulators are good in a SQE environment where you can set up a test scenario where a failure occurs, then snapshot the whole damn machine, send it to the developer, and say, "look, press enter and see the crash for yourself!".
You'll get barraged with calls. While this may sound like a good thing, it's not. Recruiters are mostly non-techs who just see you as a piece of meat. They're salespeople, and it shows. Your name and phone number are a very valuable asset to them, and if they hire you, it could mean 10K-80K *cash* for them. So how hard do you think they'll try to find a *good* fit for you?
The upshot is that it makes you become an a-hole just to get the bottom-feeders to lay off while you find the precious few that actually know the difference between "C" and Java. You end up having to be rude to a lot of people, and this results in less peace for you. So just be prepared to tell the recruiters to piss off, and you'll be fine.

You wrote, "It is a 3rd year course, so students...". That should be either, "...course, and so..." or "...course; so...".

Case-insensitive subword buffer switching.

They're difficult to master for the library developer, for sure, but they provide unprecedented ease for the library user.
The idea has definitely caught on with other languages, too.
who made the CAD system.
I was wondering whether the CAD system happened to be PTC.

33 dB soft foam earplugs. I never leave home without them.
...or some such ridiculous term for rendezvous-ing where you're not wanted.
...which would shoot down any non-MS programs, too.
I concur. Were you going through puberty just when it came out? I know I was, because Jessica 6 was the holy grail at that time.
Later on, though, BrainStorm became my fave.

depends on how you define 'flash'

The latest Opera browser freaks out when you click on a picture, drawing two infinitely-refreshing frames that never show anything.
