most auto ticket things dont take into acount time ware you have no choice but to run a red light, for example if your sitting in the middle of an intersection tring to turn and the light turns red you have to turn or else your holding up trafic,
AFAIK, the camera takes two or more pictures a second or two apart, to establish that you are moving and not just sitting in the middle of the intersection. In your example, you do leave the intersection through the red light, but there won't be a picture of your car entering the intersection on red, so no action will be taken.
I'd go and take classes in whatever interested me. Possibly become a doctor of something. Then dedicate my life to helping others.
That's exactly what I'm doing. I've spent too long as a commercial programmer, so in my "retirement" I'm going to university for the first time in my life, and I'm working on a science degree which I hope to steer towards nanotechnology.
I don't have the free money as yet, so I'm doing the university part time while working full time, and at some point I'll cut the work hours and increase the university hours. In the meantime, it's the learning which keeps me sane.
I'm surprised at this. I can open almost any Word document with OpenOffice 6, and at worst I see a few formatting glitches. Even documents with lots of equations mostly convert well. Going in the other direction, I see more problems, mainly font ones.
I use Word 2000 (when I have to, since I find it more buggy than OpenOffice for those types of WP applications I have, which aren't really mainstream). Maybe the support for Word 97 isn't as good. Try saving your Word 97 documents in RTF format, although this won't help people who are sent.DOC files and don't have Word.
I only wish OpenOffice supported Excel spreadsheets as well as it did Word files. I'm almost in your position there - I have yet to see an Excel spreadsheet containing charts that OpenOffice can do even a mediocre job with. I haven't tried truly trivial cases as you mention.
And why do you think WordPerfect is less compatible with Microsoft Office than StarOffice is?
I haven't used WP since version 8 for Linux, but it was more capable of reading and saving MS Word documents then than other Linux word processors. I know the other word processors have improved a lot since then, but I assume that so has WP.
Yes, it would be nice if HP went with StarOffice, but I'm happy to see some diversity in the office software used.
Yes, it almost certainly was written by someone in their own private language. The alternative is to assume that it was written by aliens, or something like that.
The analyses of the text show that it seem to indicate that it is a real language, not just gibberish, since there is a detectable grammar (just not one we know) and vocabulary. There are more different words than one might expect from the languages of the time.
I'd be surprised if there weren't at least a few spelling mistakes, since it was after all handwritten. The writing isn't always very readable either, but other than the language being unknown, it isn't deliberately encrypted.
It seems unlikely to be a hoax, there's far too much work gone into it. It's probably the work of some unknown genius (or idiot savant).
If we could translate it, it might have fascinating insights into the world of the time, novel mathematical and scientific ideas, or it might just contain his/her daily record of bowel movements.
New Scientist had a feature on it a few months ago.
You could try a google search for "roller coaster deaths".
The problem isn't that people die from the g forces, the problem is that badly designed or badly maintained roller coasters break. People are killed by falling from the (broken) track, or by sudden stops of the roller coaster, or kids are killed by climbing out of inadequate restraints during the ride.
Singlefile is an easy-to-use web-based service that helps you organize the books you own, the books you are reading, the books you've read and the books you want to read.
You can use it to keep track of the books you've loaned to friends, or books you haven't bought/read yet, or to find out how many non-fiction paperbacks with 275 pages you own, etc. Singlefile is also great for keeping a record of your books for insurance purposes. And, in affiliation with Amazon.com, you can discover and buy new books you might enjoy based on the authors in your collection!
I think a free service is what is wanted by the original poster!
If their results are based on how much the site pays, then under what circumstances would they produce more accurate hits than almost any other algorithm for ranking sites?
If no one uses them for searches, then why would web sites pay them money for listing?
I can't see how their business model would work, except if they can make money by suing others.
This is the third launch of this series of spacecraft, not China's third launch. The "Shenzhou" craft started in 1999, but China first launched a satellite in 1970 and has launched dozens to date.
That means there isn't much the company can do. I suspect it means that they can embed it into their own proprietary products if they want; if they own it, they can add other licences besides GPL to it. They can't stop the existing code from being freely used and further developed.
Yes, C++ is mostly a superset of C. That's why it's quite easy to provide a set of C language bindings for a C++ library, but if you write the library in C in the first place, a C++ application has to give up some of its richness to make use of it. For example, it can't derive classes from the base classes in a C library because the C library doesn't have classes.
Ideally, I'd like to see as many applications as possible running under both environments. With most Linux distributions currently, the libraries for both environments are supplied. I'd like to see this become standard, and I'd also like to see an interface library developed in collaboration which will translate calls to either gnome or kde, depending on which is running. This library would have to be primarily written in C++ to suit the existing QT/KDE application base, but would also need to have C and other language bindings.

Does the parent of this comment know something I don't? I see his iso names are different to mine - does he have a re-issue of the iso files?
Maxis produce exactly what you're looking for.

I was a (potential) moderator in this discussion, but posting this will lose me that right.
I keep seeing the offer of crack for moderators.
Where do I go to get mine?
during a code review, that using 32-bit integers to store the number of sectors on the hard disk would be fine.
Perhaps I should revisit that piece of code....
Sorry, this is getting a little bit off topic.

I seem to recall that Turbo Pascal 5.5 was the first version to include object orientation. That was in 1991, or possibly late 1990.
It has been ported to Linux. See http://www.rhide.com/
Just you.
Mozilla RC2 on Mandrake Linux was fine.

That's a pay service costing US$20 per year.
