I remember reading an article recently where a woman bought a new ipod and gave her old one to her daughter. The daughter got mad looking at the big, ugly, old ipod and told her mother she was ruining her life.
Anyone know what the best way to complain? I have TWC, and I've already emailed them to say I will cancel when this comes to my area. I seriously doubt that will have much of an effect, though.
Can you explain this a little more for a non-electrical engineer? What exact is apparent power? How does is affect the utility company and not me?
Thanks.
Sure, if you gave them a nice hint like that ("name an airliner"). I didn't say "name an airliner." I said, "what kind of plane is used as Air Force One." I work in avionics, and I don't believe a lot of my colleagues know the answer.
Whether or not a 747 itself is recognizable, I won't argue, and isn't my point. Walk up to random person on the street and ask them what kind of plane is used as Air Force One, and I doubt many of them will know the answer.
Again, I know that. Now you're just nitpicking. Besides, try telling Lockheed UK that they aren't a European company. LMSI in Owego, NY is the prime, but LM an International corporation.
I know that. My point is AgustaWestland is a European company, and is a subcontractor to LM (the prime). People raised a stink because of it, but LM still won the contract.
I was going to feel sorry for her, but she whined in the article it would take her TWO years to recouple her loses. Just two years to earn back 1/2 a million.
It was the presenter that stated this, not the comments. It was something they didn't allow in their 5 second boot up. The comments were just, well, commenting on this.
Also, you are confused about GCC. It does not agree with you. It warns you if you USE NULL in an expression. It does not have an issue with it BEING a integer expression. compiler this in gcc:
int main()
{
void* p = 1 - 1;
return 0;
}
That is a valid C program according to the standard AND GCC.
Yes, and an integral constant expression resolving to 0 is a null pointer constant. What is your point? 0 is a null pointer constant, as is (1-1) and ((void*)0).
Sorry, but you are confused. The C standard requires that NULL be an expression that resolved to either a null void pointer or an integer expression that resolves to 0. The C++ standard (which the article is about) requires that NULL be an integer expression that resolves to 0. Because of the stronger typing in C++, NULL cannot be a void pointer. C++ does not allow an implicit cast from a void* (only to a void*).

How do you know? It maybe not be that they were lying, but nut-job crazy. Besides, you think no one has every gone to their grave hiding the truth?
I don't know, why don't you ask the "Heaven's Gate" cult members.

Oh God, yes.

How did they get it to sync with the music?

Not completely. The fuselage and blades are built in the UK. Other components are built in Italy.

I would argue that the average American does not know or care what kind of plane it is.
What does the prime contractor have to do with it? Marine One is contracted to an American company, but the Aircraft is built by a European company.
You're wrong. The helicopter replacing Marine One is European. Why wouldn't they do the same for Air Force One?

No, no, no. Dylan Thomas, not Bob Dylan!

comp.lang.std.c++ is dead. Has been for a while.

My dad was an electrician in a union shop. He would get called in to work a lot to change a light bulb, because no one else was allowed to.
Well, I respect your opinions, but we will have to agree to disagree.

Your opinion on the C++ standard is irrelevant.
