That's not how it usually works. The idea has been around for a while. The systems I've seen have the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels at low speeds to give you a smaller tunring radius. At higher speeds the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels for added stability.
seeing a trend with my brother? Yes, he has good taste:)
I had a 1991 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD (built by Mitsu), and now I drive a rally blue WRX. People ask about it every time I stop to re-fuel.
No, they don't have fast breeder reactors in Canada. The fast breeder never got past the planning stages, they were too dangerous. All Canadian reactors are the CANDU type.
Interesting synchronicity there. I'm not a coffee drinker myself, but my parents said Tully's was much better than the Starbucks behemoth. So if Tully's = Mandrake and Starbucks = Microsoft this might just work.
The end result may be the same, but the distinction is the usage. A library (more specifically, a DLL) runs in the same memory space as the calling program and has the same net effect as if it was compiled as part of the program. This is like taking someone else's source code, compiling it into your program, and not releasing the source.
Perl and gzip, on the other hand, are separate programs onto themselves, are called by your code at the command line level, so they run in separate memory spaces. -----------------
Yeah, all the specs for the machine are there (10 CPUs, 32GB RAM) and 2.1 TB disk and they still call it DASD! I'm having bad flashbacks to allocating cylinders and other IBM doublespeak. -----------------
The problem was IBM had too big a team working on it, and they weren't coordinated. They just threw more bodies at the problem instead of analyzing the problem.
There's a story that at one point, when they were really desparate, the managers were going around to the secretaries and asking them if they'd like to become programmers. -----------------
Yes, you can file lawsuits on software bugs, AECL was sued over the software bug in the THERAC-25 that caused six incidents of injury and/or death. Here's a good write-up.
If the bug causes sufficient damage or harm, and the company was negligent, then that should be grounds for a lawsuit. (Of course, IANAL, but my sister is.) -----------------
Two other interesting points: there was no mention of lawsuits (and you know there's gotta be some brewing somewhere), and the woman in charge of the department now works for the company that administers the SATs. If I was a college-bound senior, I'd be real worried right now. -----------------
I'm in cautious agreement. I've seen some demos on TV of what the 3G DoCoMo stuff can do, and it's pretty incredible. Streaming video on your 3G mobile phone! Too bad they had to postpone the rollout until October because of network problems. -----------------
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is not universal yet, and is competing with firewire. Maybe USB is not that universal.
Nope, sorry, wrong answer. USD and firewire are complementary, not competing, technologies.
USB is designed for relatively low-speed desktop devices, such as keyboards and mice with a maximum speed of 1.3 Mb/sec and can daisy-chain devices.
Firewire, on the other hand, runs at 400 Mb/sec, and isn't designed for daisy-chaining (but someone correct me if I'm wrong on this one.)
Okay, I just found some pics of Dani Minogue on the web, and that boy has some serious problems. Maybe his sex drive is channelled entirely into driving or something.
As for Ant and Dec, how could you tell? -----------------
My digital oven crashed last week, honest. I set the temperature, it started the preheat countdown, and then locked-up at 6 minutes. I hit the Off button and went through the sequence again, and it worked fine.
As long as tbere are human beings involved in the process, there is the potential for error. -----------------
Yes, they did. I checked the replay at the NPR site because so many people had been questioning this I thought I might need my hearing tested. They didn't say anything about how they would use it, though. -----------------
Vladimir Gurrero (baseball player for the Montreal Expos) and his also-ballplaying brother used High Heat Baseball 2001 to 'scout' the pitchers they were going to face in upcoming games. Amazing eh?
More common than you'd think. Jacques Villenuve played the Monte Carlo track on an F1 simulator game before he ever got to the circuit, and it helped him win. Now a lot of the F1 drivers use the computer games to study the courses in advance. -----------------
I don't think Palm is going away anytime soon. There is still a lot of third-party interest in the Palm devices, such as Motorola's new iSketch program.
This a a pretty cool little program for storing, beaming, or emailing free-form hand-written documents.
There still seems to be more buzz about Palm than WinCE. And the next generation of the OS is due out soon. -----------------

Or Lotus. They should use the Esprit V-8 twin turbo in the next movie. With submarine conversion option, of course.

C'mon, you mean no one has considered dumping it on the Moon? It's not like there's going to be any massive explosion or anything.

That's one of the most convulted pieces of double-talk I've read since... yesterday. "Appropriate manner" my ass!
-----------------
And what's wrong with that? I don't remember the Thunderbirds ever missing a take-off!

(Seriously there's a system that could use some testing.)

Does this mean we can't post IANAL anymore? Is there going to to be a new (-1) IANAL moderation setting?
-----------------
Nice site, but I get this wierd deja vu from it. Did he take all the style sheets from The Register when he left?
-----------------
Congrats, I guess. My sister did her law degree there.

I think the OS X release is more relevant that the CRTs being discontinued.
