Well, I can't speak for the GP, but assuming you reside in the United States, have you ever been in an auto accident with an individual who is not a legal resident?
I actually searched for this yesterday... kind of eerie. Anyhow, I was unable to find a wing stress test video for the 7E7/787/Dreamliner. Supposedly, the wings of the 787 are able to touch above the plane without breaking.
Eclipse will show the most relevant method or property during code completion. If there's not enough information, it will falls back to alpha sort. I guess I don't see why "last used" is such a good paradigm; I can't foresee a reason I would want to continue accessing the same method or property, aside from using poorly crafted APIs.
One caveat, if you're doing something you definitely do not want your name associated with, you probably don't want to be sending email to a domain you purchased, unless you falsified the WHOIS record for your domain.
I'll put my money where my mouth is. If there were an escrow that linux gamers could shell out the estimated game cost, preproduction, into, only payable to Blizzard upon delivery of a fully operational Linux version of SC2, I'd gladly put $50-$60 in. If enough money were generated, it'd be proof that Linux is a viable market for games. If not, then so be it. I may even stop being a lazy ass and see if Blizzard would be amicable to an arrangement like that.
Personally, I just went through installing WinXP to play some older games and I never want to do that again. I'm at home in Linux now, so I'd rather go without than install Windows, but I'd rather be able to play the game than not also.
I'll give it a shot. I just upgraded to Kubuntu 7.04 last week, and the shutdown menu says Suspend... I'm just really gunshy about it since I've tried various forms of suspend since Win95 and they've always just crashed the machine and I've had to reboot anyhow...
I use linux as my desktop OS on my laptop. I shut it off all the time, so startup time does matter to me. I realize I'm an exception, but it does matter.
Assuming the stock engine, would replacing the driveline with motors at the hubs be a net gain over normal driveline losses? I'm nearly certain you'd come out ahead with a diesel engine.
Well, you lose quite a bit of power from transmission to driveshaft to differential to axles. I know, as an extreme example, the Ford AOD takes something near or over 20% of the engine's output to drive. Differentials eat a few %, and the rotational masses involved are not very light, and take a nontrivial amount of power to accelerate.
With an electronic/electric system, you'd have easier acceleration, because the only rotational masses would be the axles and tires, and there would be no gears to drive or fluid to cause parasitic losses. You can also regain power by using regenerative brakes, which helps overall system efficiency, where no such thing exists in a purely mechanical vehicle (I'm aware that some hybrids use regenerative braking systems). Also, you have a computer system to keep the engine at it's torque peak, thereby keeping it at or near its most efficient speed at all times. Intake runners can be easily tuned to accommodate a desired target RPM, and the computer can control air intake charge volume and fuel flow like is currently done with CVT vehicles.
Also, with so much electrical power on tap, a lot of accessories that are currently belt-driven could become electrically powered, like the AC system. I *believe* the parasitic loss of the AC pulley on the engine (especially at full throttle, even with the clutch disengaged) is greater than what an electric AC unit would be. Also, with an electric AC, there are less moving parts, and therefore a simpler system, which tends to be more efficient.
All that said, it would require a largeish battery system, and those are neither light nor energy-efficient to manufacture. I don't have a solution for that, honestly. I can only hope battery technology ramps up in the near future; storing electrical charge for later use without having to rely on mechanics would be a huge boost for both efficiency and longevity. I still believe it would be more efficient in the long run, though.
I've posted this before, but for a very long time I've wanted to take an inline 6-cyl diesel, turbo it, and jam in into a regular RWD vehicle like a Supra. Then I'd replace the transmission with a large alternator, and have motors all the wheels, or if I can't make the fronts work, just the rears. I'd have to write some custom software to keep the engine running at an efficient speed for the alternator and electrical load, instead of trying to meet perceived fuel flow for mass air, throttle position and exhaust richness. Alternators can achieve 94% efficiency, with some hitting 98% (but that's in a lab, I'm sure it's not that good in reality), and turbo diesels are the most efficient HC engines that I'm aware of at that scale. I wonder if anyone has ever tried this.
When I was a little kid, my dad bought a TI99/4a. I can distinctly remember him showing me how to play Hunt the Wumpus and trying to explain to me how the curved arrows and curved caves work. It's one of my best childhood memories.
If RPGs are classified like grenade launchers, then they are considered "Destructive Devices" in the eyes of the Federal Government. If you live in a state and a municipality that allows citizens to own such items, and you want a DD, you'd need to register it with the BATFE (which is a big pain in the ass, involving a long amount of time and from what I can remember, at least a signature from the Chief of Police or Sheriff of the jurisdiction the weapon will reside in; however, from some simple reading, it looks like corporations are not required to obtain the signature, odd...) and pay an excise tax (for either manufacturing or transferring) of $200 on the weapon, and then the same tax on each piece of ammunition. It becomes rather expensive to fire the weapon since you have to pay that tax on each individual round.
I love the bigger delete key. I thought I'd hate it, but I always use CTRL+C/CTRL+V or vi anyhow, and I delete a lot more than I need to toggle "insert/overwrite". That said, you're right about the caps lock, they should have moved that one off to la-la land.
A bit OT in regards to the "web design major" comment -- I used to make fun of web programmers, a lot... But now that I am one (thank you, karma), I realize it's actually a lot harder than I used to think. Obviously, just setting up a stupid blog or whatever is easy, but running full a ecommerce engine with all sorts of data mining and search capabilities and all the bells and whistles along with it... it's definitely on par with writing an embedded driver that has to fit in 1k of RAM.
This is why you tailor your cover letter point for point to the qualifications they are asking for. It makes it easy on the drone who has to look at 200 resumes for the position to take a ruler and go "yup, yup, yup, yup, ok looks good."

I'd rather it work right than be released before Christmas.

What? In no place in my comment did I say or suggest dual boot as an option. How you got modded up on this is beyond me.

I'm curious, why did you give your contracts identifiers? Are they treated as first-class objects or am I missing something?

Suffice to say, it's legal and possible, just a real severe pain in the ass.
Do you have a link for a discussion of that? I don't pay too much attention to the JCP stuff because I find it hard to follow.
