Were these *real* race-o-saurs, or were they just crappy street legal dinosaurs that were all hopped up to look like race-o-saurs? In either case, I'd hate to be near when they opened the exhaust on one of these 4-bangers (or 2-bangers, in the case of the bipedes).
If my calculations are correct...

"...the electronics necessary for exploiting scatterers with wide-band time-reversal antennas at cell phone frequencies simply don't yet exist."
Perhaps if someone would fall and hit their head on the toilet, then they would come up with the means for time-reversal. Tell me future boy, why do we need screen savers on our mobile phone LCD screens?
Programming Languages become one and the same as Operating Systems. Then Microsoft will come out with "FrontPane," the WYSIWYG OS editor that allows everybody and their brother to create shitty OS interfaces inside of an editor, while writing autrocious code "behing the scenes."
People who use this line are worried that their peers see them as slackers. They make an extra effort to let everyone know just how busy they are. You all know who you are. Now, I'm going to go spend some more of the extra time on my hands replying to/. posts.

Of course there is the right tool for every job, and Java, while being correct for some tasks, is not the best tool for others. You, on the other hand, can rest assured that no matter what job you are doing, you will always be a tool.
"Clicky-clicky-drag" does not mean that you're not developing apps the proper way. A key idea (ideal?) in software engineering is code reuse and rapid development. If you have to write 34 methods to accomplish a text box for every app you write, then you're just wasting time. Sure C is great for mathematically intense stuff like DSP, and it's great fun for memory mis-management, but I wouldn't use it for a frontend. Use a good platform independent front-ending language, like java, to provide an interface to your powerful computational engine written in C or Lisp or Perl.

Have you actually used it lately? Speed has been the biggest improvement. Sure, it used to be slow as hell, I concur, but with Java 2 (1.4) it is wicked quick. And for windows apps, it's far better than VB in at least one aspect - grids. Java has a grid object that works the way you'd want it to, resizeable, sortable, column-rearrangeable... And for data drive apps, this is a major thorn out of my side.
Man, if only I could witnoss those puppies erupting! It would be a marvelous, exciting phonomenon to watch... over the course of 3000 years.
One time I was watching Speed 3, you know, the one where that guy from Flashback with Keefer Sutherland strapped a bomb to a glacier. He was all, "There's a bomb on the ice river. If it drops below one ince per year the bomb's gonna blow!" It was wicked-awesome.
If I ever worked at Radio Shack, I surely wouldn't admit it.
You've got questions, we've got assholes. And quality Compaq PC's with MSN internet service.
But seriously, I walked into radio shack asking for a product that allowed audio to be sent through the house via the already installed phone lines. Great if you live in an apt. and can't run cable. A coworker has this - he bought it at Radio Shaft. He runs audio out from his flat-imac to the line in on his stereo and it sounds fine. When I described it, they looked at me as if I had lobsters crawling out of my ears. After a pause and something that might have been a thought, the guy said, "We never made anything like that. If we did, I'm sure it would sound awful. Can I interest you in a Motorola cell phone?" Well, the other guy tried to sell me a mobile phone plan, but that doesn't really matter here. The important thing was that I had an onion tied around my belt, which was the style at the time.
Nah. I was just trying to show off my smarts that 10^3 is roughly the same as 2^10. Four years of engineering school, and all I have to show for it is a crummy t-shirt, trite knowledge, and/. karma.
Actually, it couldn't have been the StoneCutters. I can't get to the site due to an unexpectedly high volume of traffic, but I'm sure that if I could read the specs, it would describe how it dispenses ingredients measured in mililiters, as they're easier to compute than empiracle weights and measures, what being based in 10 and all. But, if you'll recall, it was the StoneCutters who kept the metric system down.
I just can't wait for the days when things are $1/TB.
And at the same time, our storage needs are 2^10 times as large due to 10^3 more data, 10^3 more illicit mp3's, 10^3 more pr0n, 10^3 more overhead in a microsoft binary document format, etc., etc., etc.
Though this guy is rather crass, I do agree with what he says. No matter what you put into your car, be sure not to take over and make it YOUR car. Remember, this is your son's project. Have fun helping him, but don't do it yourself and then use the guise of "my son's racer."
Just add to your racer a huge freakin' spoiler, lowered front and rear bumpers, low profile tires, and open the exhaust. Then give it a multi-color paint job, preferably using at least one neon color. Finally, write something in chinese or using a kung-fu font across the top of the windshield. It may not win, and it may scrape it's bottom on the ground, but it will surely impress everyone who sees it. I know I'm impressed when I see those fast 'n furious four-bangers that sound like big go-karts zooming from McDonalds to Dairy Queen and Back.
I'm sorry. I was trying to make a stupid joke but it was just that - stupid. I know to many IT/HelpDesk people who get real comments like "I just got a new computer and I can't find my J drive." It's kind of like "the internet's broken," or "the T1 is down," or "my AGP printer is busted."
I knew what you were tyring to say, just trying to make a dumb joke.

I wonder if this involved a roll of duct tape, a buffalo, live or stuffed, preferably stuffed, for safety reasons, and $240 worth of puddin?

Go ahead and sign it. From then on, with every decision you make, ask yourself, "Is this good for the company?"

I could win this contest hands down - 0% utilization. Just watch me not use the CPU. As for free beer, I homebrew now! Make it an ingredients kit.
