It was higher than that in the UK, not sure now with the increased cost of crude oil.
The brilliant thing about petrol taxes, in the UK at least, is that they calculate the VAT (sales tax) after adding the excise duty, so you have to pay tax on your tax.
I have never been asked for my transcripts. Heck, I've never been asked for my degree. And if a company asked me for either my transcript or my degree at this point, I'd probably laugh and leave unless the offer was really good.
I too have never been asked for my degree certificates but there are good reasons for them to do so.
I wonder if there's a reason why Opera doesn't reveal these numbers....
Without also having an accurate count of how may people are using IE and how many are using Firefox these figures wouldn't be very useful for determining market share.
Online gaming sites do not use software random number generators (well maybe the stupid, soon-to-be-bankrupt ones do). They use hardware random number generators that use things like thermal noise to generate a sequence of bits. Good luck predicting that sequence.
It's also not allowed in most casinos outside of North America (definitely in the UK and Australia anyway), as dealers are not allowed to accept any form of tip/gift from customers so that their honesty is not called into question.
The problem with the old symbols is that you would get one symbol for the whole of Kent, which is one of the reasons weather forecasts are perceived as being inaccurate. The new system, whilst not without some problems, can at least show that it is dry in Dover when it's raining 15 miles away in Canterbury.
Reading through the complaints on the BBC website it seems the single biggest issue the public had was the colour of the map. After all, England is supposed to be a "green and pleasant land". This is something the BBC could change easily but they have said they are sticking with the desert tones because the information doesn't show up so well on a green background.
I too am a fan of IntelliJ, but it's not always easy to convince the boss to stump up for a licence when the other Java guys are happy with Eclipse.
IntelliJ is kind of like Opera to Eclipse's FireFox. It's the commercial innovator with the smaller market share competing against a free alternative that is backed by big players in the IT arena. There's an interesting parallel in the way these applications have been developed. In both cases the open source projects have gone for a flexible platform enhanced by a huge array of plugins whereas the commercial players have opted for a more integrated approach with everything you need bundled and presented nicely out-of-the-box.
Fair enough, but I don't think the Netbeans people are even trying to compete with Eclipse on support for other languages (I may be wrong), so I think it's fairer to judge the two on their Java features.
Annecdotal blog evidence (which is only slightly more reliable than pulling numbers out of my rear end) suggests that there is a recent trend of Java developers switching from Eclipse to Netbeans (since the 4.0 version was released).
As I've mentioned elsewhere, I don't think either can compete with IDEA in terms of the combination of functionality and usability, but they certainly beat it on price.

Netbeans 4.1 Released
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Apparently the latest Eclipse milestone is much improved in this regard (so I'm told, I don't use it myself).
My problem with Netbeans is that the built-in editor is severely lacking in functionality when compared to both Eclispe and IntelliJ IDEA. I really want to like Netbeans, because I found it much easier to jump in and get started with it than Eclipse and it's much cheaper (i.e. free) than IDEA. But I gave up on it because it doesn't have things like IDEA's intentions (I believe there is something similar in Eclipse), automatic generation of getters, setters and constructors from fields, that thing where you press control and click on a class name in the source to go to that file, and several other niceties. Its refactoring support is also lacking when compared to that of its rivals.
To be fair most, if not all, of the issues I've mentioned are planned for future releases according to their website, but it's not there yet.
I think you meant Apollo 10 - Apollo 8 had ballast in place of a lander. Apollo 10 had a lander that descended to about 80 miles above the surface before redocking without landing.
And it should be pointed out that there is not, and unlikely ever to be, any British representation in football ("soccer") at the Olympics for precisely this reason. The relevant football associations would rather not compete than set a precedent of a combined UK team competing in international competitions. Such a precedent could be used by FIFA/UEFA as an argument against allowing the four home nations to compete separately in the World Cup and European Championships.
I seem to remember from an article on here a few weeks ago that of 64 developers working regularly on Open Office, 50 are on Sun's pay-roll, 10 are employed by Novell and only 4 are volunteers.
I also find that once I get going, I end up throwing away or heavily refactoring a lot of legacy code anyway. So if I had written tests, I'd be throwing them out, too.
If you are heavily refactoring, it's probably worth putting in the effort to write the tests beforehand. Otherwise how can you be confident that your refactoring hasn't broken anything?
Personally, I find using Emacs typing only with my nose and having the monitor switched off a better way to code in Java than using Eclipse - but I seem to be in a minority.
IntelliJ IDEA, both hands and a well adjusted LCD display are even better.
Psychology can also be useful if you're into AI. Bioinformatics is another possibility.
I did BSc(Hons) computer science, worked for four years and then went to Australia to do my masters. I did computer science again but just did stuff that interested me (evolutionary computation, neural nets, etc) rather than what would get me a job ("enterprise" stuff). The whole being in another country and not thinking about my career was great. When I went back to work I was refreshed and had a new perspective on things.
Earning shitloads of money is great, but not if you're miserable doing it, so pick something you will enjoy.
And finally, the toolbar has a translate button which uses the google translator for converting webpages into english (and other languages) with one click. With opera, you have to manually give the url to google (or altavista) for translation.
Opera has right-click translation. Highlight some text, right-click and you have whole load of options including dictionary, encyclopedia, and translation (all powered by Lycos).

That's just disirresponsible.Pluto's diameter is 2,274 km whereas the Moon's diameter is 3,476 km.

All of these things are being investigated at the ISS, and the MIR as well I presume.
Probably not.

He still owns the airline and the train company I believe (or at least sizeable chunks of them).

I'm sure if you try you can come up with better criteria for evaluating Netbeans (a Java development platform) than its level of support for PHP.

I wasn't talking about harbour/harbor, he refers to it as Perl Harbo(u)r.
Interesting spelling of Pearl Harbour in that article. All that free software fanaticism is affecting his ability for rational thought.
Try SmartCVS, it's the best CVS client I've used by some distance.
