The system previewed in BMW Magazine a few months ago. As you drive by the parking space, it measures how big the space is and lets you know if the car will fit. If you tell it to park, it will take over the steering and acceleration. You retain control of the brakes so that you can stop it if necessary. I believe the article said that it would be available in the 6 series in a couple of years.
I don't believe they recommended that you got out of the car before the parking manuever was completed.
Actually, it makes more sense to me to have a wider display. I use 2 21" monitors side-by-side so that I can have reference material available while I work on the code without having to move windows around. With a wide display, I could do the same with only one monitor. I don't understand why they don't make them swivel though. They have CRTs that can swivel from landscape to portrait mode. Why not flat panels? It seems like it would be easier to do with the lighter, thinner displays.
I thought this post looked awfully familiar. This same post has appeared, almost verbatim, on slashdot and other sites. The only thing that ever changes is whether the poster is complaining about OS X, FreeBSD or a Linux distribution. Some of the posts date back to 1998.
I don't see why they shouldn't have sounds in space. After all the physics of the Star Trek universe seem to have only the most superficial resemblance to the physics of this universe.
Maybe there was a massive inverse verteron pulse which allows sound waves to travel through space. Betcha never though of that! Did you?:-)
No, C++ most certainly does not have: resizeable arrays, arrays of bits, built-in strings, array bounds checking, associative arrays, complex and imaginary numbers.
That's why the STL and other libraries were created: because these features do not exist the language itself.
I wouldn't think they would need it. There's a tiny little recessed button on the back on my linksys unit. Hold it in for 10 seconds and presto! the unit is back to the factory configuration. Passwords and all.
No excuse for a master password. Mind you, I'm not saying there isn't one, just that there is no need for one.
Contrary to what it says in "The Bible Code" these kind of results can be, and have been easily replicated in any book in any language.
This is especially true when you consider the technique used. They started with a target phrase (i.e. a phrase they were hoping was "hidden" in the text) consisting of words that are located reasonably close to each other in the bible. Then they start looking at every other word, then every third word, and all sorts of other patterns until the words "lined up" and they declared they found a match.
It would be almost impossible to NOT find whatever "hidden message" you are looking for using this method.

Not really. Windows 2000, XP, NT & 9x have nearly identical APIs. However, Aqua & X are so different that they might as well be different operating systems. Command line tools are one thing, but GUI apps are a whole different story.
I would see this as an opportunity to have a little fun. Chances are that the process is either automated or that they just do a lot of cutting and pasting to do it.
I would try to isolate the ip addresses they use to grab my content. Once I've verified their address, perhaps by making subtle changes that only get fed to ip addresses I suspect are theirs, then the fun would begin.
Since I would, at that point, be able to feed them customized content, I would give them special versions of the content. Just think of the possibilities! I would insert material that was blatantly false, slander their sponsors, insult their readers...the possibilites are endless!
if (var = CONSTANT) will trigger a warning or error
the standard way to express this is:
if ((var = CONSTANT)) however some compilers don't implement this correctly
personally, I prefer:
if ((var = CONSTANT) != 0)
which makes the assignment and test explicit.
The reason I said twenty years is because I distinctly remember Turbo C/C++ 1.0 did this by default. Visual C++ can do this kind of checking too. The warning generated is C4706, but it is off by default. The first I do when working on any project is to turn it, along with some other warnings on. I have never been tripped by this error since.

maybe it can be used to generate enough heat to fry your opponents?

Doh! I have both the navigation system and the cd changer. I wouldn't mind dumping the cd changer, but the navigation system is priceless.
It's all silence with a brief

I call it "pants"

Well, if it takes the heat death of the Universe (or the Big Crunch) to finally kill me off...I can live with that. ;-)
who's going to watch a full length feature film with no audio?
Death cues? ...so does that mean horror films will generate a better 3D effect?

When I first saw the alien probe in Star Trek IV, the first thing that popped into my mind was "That's Rama!".

Read the message a little more carefully, especially the parts that say "moved away from swords" and "are using projectile weapons".
That was the point of the message. Claymores are a type of sword.
Which army are you in that is still using claymores? Most armies have moved away from swords and are using projectile weapons these days.

Did any of them, by any chance, experience dramatic increases in strength when they got really angry?
If the correct compiler switches are used:
if (var = CONSTANT) will trigger a warning or error
the standard way to express this is:
if ((var = CONSTANT)) however some compilers don't implement this correctly
personally, I prefer:
if ((var = CONSTANT) != 0)

Maybe that should read: Beer, pizza, gnu, porn
Just what is gnu porn?
