You'll need a wideband O2 and a good A/F meter or DSO. If you got a couple buddies who are really into car modifying, getting a wideband won't be too bad (they're about $400US, so splitting the cost among like 3-4 people is sometimes what people do, since you only use it to tune).
I'm such a nice guy. I assume you have a Toyota Pickup or 4Runner? Check this out:

Why not reflash the ROM and mess with it that way, instead of playing games with the myriad sensors and tricking the computer into doing what you want? It's MUCH safer to tune on a dyno with a pro. If you trim too much you will be buying new pistons.
Happens all the time, though. There was a pretty high profile case in Milwaukee this last year where they basically dumped raw shit into Lake Michigan because it rained so much the plants had to basically just dump everything into the lake. I have a buddy who lives about a block from the lake near a Coast Guard facility, and it was the worst smell I have ever been around. The 794 bridge that passes near and over the treatment plant USUALLY smells like asphault, but during that time all I could smell was sewage. Nasty.
I don't think it's bad. You have to remember that he wrote that a long time ago, he didn't have tons of processor time to blow on making pretty code. Some of the crazy ass tricks programmers had to use to get the most out of their 4MHz machines would make most current programmers flee in terror. Pussies:p
Had a S/390 Assembler professor at the university I breifly attended. He was an old, crotchety bastard and I'm a stubborn asshole when I want to be. This didn't turn out well.
So, I get my third programming assignment back: 37%! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm a pretty good programmer, and me getting a 37% on a programming assignment was unheard of until then.
After I examined the assignment, I noticed that he fucking took off points for every line I didn't comment! Now, he said, in class, "You must comment every line of code." That's all well and good, and I did comment every line of CODE. The lines I didn't comment were DATA for the print output. I forget how ASSIST liked data to be defined, but in x86 assembler (MASM) it would look like this:
print_line: db "Initial price" db 10 dup(32) db "Tax" db 10 dup(32) db "Total price"
I'd like to mention here that slashcode reformatted my ecode text.
63% of my assignment wasted because I didn't comment text... That pissed me the fuck off. So I started being a dickhead and CTRL+V'ing "This is a printline" for every line like that. What's sad is that it actually placated him. The long and short of the rest of this story is that he threw my papers at me and I no longer attend that university (by my own will, I didn't fail out, but I will not pay money to deal with shit like that). Lesson learned: College is simply an expensive highschool, unless you get good professors.
Agree 100%. If you can properly modularize a program, and the function/variable names you select are self-documenting, then your only real hassle is documenting the prototype (in C at least), or perhaps a REALLY in-depth control structure that can't be broken down (and I can really only think of one example of one, and it was specifically crafted that way for speed. If anyone remembers, it was a switch statement that some guy coded at ILM that was used to OUT bytes to a custom device, and he had to craft it a specific way to make it fast enough to work, it is really sorta neat and ingenious).
And then detrimental again because both processes share the L1 cache... I don't know if Intel fixed that problem yet, but the cache sharing actually decreased performance compared to a processor with HT disabled while running high-demand single-threaded applications (games).
People are still partaking in drugs all around you. People are getting better at hiding it, and better at handling it, possibly because of the quality or perhaps because of the repercussions of being caught. Who knows, but thinking the current "war on drugs" is doing anything more than making drug production more streamlined and more prevalent is a folly.
The only remnant of our civilization would be a syringe.
You have to know that's wrong. If you were given the option to take drugs tomorrow, totally legally, would you? Does everyone smoke and drink and use legal drugs to the point of failure? No? Amazing we haven't fucked up society with all this crazy nicotine and alcohol...
Look, you make it illegal to operate a motor vehicle under the influence (already a law), you make it illegal to do it on public property (already a law), and tax the hell out of it. Win/Win. Pull the false economy away from the drugs you've created and drug-related crime will drop like a rock. Some people will do it more, some will do it less, some will do it the same. Oh well.
We run Novell at work and you can access all these things using LDAP. The problem I personally noticed is that it's a pain in the ass to find the ConsoleOne snap-in for Unix Administration and Management (UAM).
Once you get that, however, it becomes pretty easy to connect the Novell SuSE desktop with any Netware server that runs LDAP services. I haven't yet seen how you can administrate the boxes you decide to install Novell Linux on, possibly they will release a ZfD for Linux in the future, but I haven't seen it yet.
Fireproof insulation, to be exact. It works great so long as it isn't disturbed, but once it gets pushed on or touched, asbestos fibers get in the air and tend to not leave your lungs.
Hmm, this seems to be one of those "say what you mean, rather than "mean what you say" moments...
Those things I tossed out were the first things that came to mind, you will certainly learn more difficult subject matter in any Data Structures and Algos course. And don't underestimate their complexity. A lot of people can't wrap their head around algebra, let alone linking schemes or big-O notation, etc...
You can certainly learn anything you want outside of a college. I hate colleges, in fact. However, as an anecdotal example, a friend of mine is getting his Masters in CS right now and learning Bayesian network algorithms, deep tree searches, efficient methods of traversing graphs (OSPF, basically) etc. When will you have time to screw around with that in the real world, with real hard deadlines?
Also, a lot of what I learned in college is very relevant to programming today. Who cares if I didn't learn how to use "delivery technologies"? That crap is dead simple compared to writing hard code. So your statement, "the kind of computer programming learned at most colleges is *exactly* the sort of thing that is outdated" stuck me as misinformed.
And what I meant by the HR monkies comment is that they seem to care what languages you know vs what concepts you know, when any real programmer should be able to jump from language to language quickly.
Naw. Languages change, but concepts remain. If you know what a heap sort is or a linked list is, but you don't know java, you're in a better standing that someone who doesn't know the concepts but knows the language. Of course, the HR monkies wouldn't know that.
Yeah, the square button is not directly above the sensor/microswitch or whatever is down there. It has a little standoff and you can feel it when you push on the edge of the button; it has a sort of 'flex' to it that the other buttons don't have.
The formatting wasn't so bad as getting the syntax right to set up VSAM. Also, if you used a TAB character in ASCII and it did not transfer to EBCDIC as spaces, and didn't know any better, it seriously wasted a full day to figure out why MVS was rejecting your job.
Oh yeah, I remember that. Thanks for the correction, too. It's been a few years since I wrote any COBOL. I also remember having to be in the right column or the IBM compiler/interpreter (I forget how they implement COBOL on MVS on the new z390's) would yell. Then JCL.... Oh god, two of the worst technologies, side by side.

I actually still have a functional AMD 386 clone. Was 40MHz, about half-ish the price fo the Intel 386DX and was faster.
The AC that replied to you is right. Eventually, some type of anomaly will occur and your program will not execute the way you intended.
Happens all the time, though. There was a pretty high profile case in Milwaukee this last year where they basically dumped raw shit into Lake Michigan because it rained so much the plants had to basically just dump everything into the lake.

Get a BS in CS and an MBA. Not too difficult to figure out that you will then be a desirable candidate on paper.
I witnessed a girl run out of his office crying. Tenure is really a bad system, it virtually promotes being a dickhead.

When someone asks you if you're a god you say "YES!"

Um, he doesn't say the word "Windows" in his comment. I don't think you read his comment.
