you are right when you say realize the future is outcome based education
We all know people who got lousy GPA's or failed out and have gone on to do great things. Additionally, we all know people who have graduated with honors, who never really got their act together.
This world needs scientist, engineers, linguists, humaniteers(?) and all other types. The luck few of us are the ones who find our talents early and get an education that we can expand to a profession/career/business.
Isn't it strange that we are looking at mechanical systems as an analogy to living systems. Why not look to modern animals for inspiration.
What we have here is a well thought out work based entirely on a sophmoric premise.
For example, birds and squarrels can climb all over trees, and when they are climbing trees they either don't have wings or are not using them. They are using their claws (a feature they share with the dinosaurs in question).
We all know of the ground effect, where lift generated close to the ground a bit more efficent. My understanding is the it effects airplanes and helicopters.
We also know that if you reduce some weight when running or biking, you will accelerate faster with less effort, and you will use less energy so you can go further. This increases a weight to power ratio.
Now, if you were in a large area where there were few obsturction, and you wanted to run faster and farther than the preditor comming up, would it not make as much sense to us the claws for traction, the wings to reduce weight (and use the ground effect), and hense, increase you weight to power ratio?
Is it just me or does this make more sence the what the pseudo scientist have come up with or beliveing in rael?
Actually, To run fast uphill or up a tree, I would want really large and strong claws like squarrels use.
1) it probably is more efficient
a) don't need the extra muscel mass to flap wings.
b) don't need the extra muscel mass to counteract the downward force of the wings.
2) its harder to negotiate around branches if you actaully had wings
All in all, this is a silly hypothesis. Ever see woodpeckers, flapping their wings to counteract the force that they are pecking the tree with. Just in case you haven't seen a woodpecker, they will hang on to any portion of the tree with their claws, and peck (without flapping their wings:).
Now that I have stated my opions with my observations, do you know of any modern animals that have evolved to use a spoiler.
Do you see many american chestnuts tree on the east cost today?
Just consider, chestnut trees were considered junk wood - there are entire barns made of chestnut. I have a desk made by an apprentice that I believe is chestnut. The wood matches the chestnut in my sister's house.
Now consider bananas, if a decease like blight hit them, we probably would not be able to buy banana in the store.
HF can easily penatrate rubber gloves becuase of its size. And you're right, F has a huge affinity to replace Ca in your bones. This can lead to catastrophic failure of the bone under normal loading (your muscle twitches).
Now, doesn't this make toothpaste sound scary (most tooth paste has NaF (sodium Fluride).
Digital's relational database (RDB) was sold to oracle hence Oracle RDB. It is different in some relatively major ways.
I don't believe that oracle is activly working on developing Oracle RDB, and I don't believe there is a port in progress to run the latest version of oracle on VMS.
If you really want to see how well oracle supports Oracle RDB, try to find it in oracle's technet (http://technet.oracle.com).
Forget about doing any software development at home -- you won't be given the keys to sign it.
Additionaly, forget about running your older software. Since it is unsigned, you won't be able to run it.
I sence a boon at microsoft. This could make it possible to kill all of the small software businesses.
In part agree with you.
All of the modifications to the debugger discussed in this tread, help in specific cases but don't really help you understand the code in the big picture.
I know when I am debugging, and when others are debugging, we build these large diagrams that show parts of the system in varying levels of detail. I don't know of any modeling tool that is tightly intergrated with the development enviroment, as in, if you change the model, the code changes and, more importantly, if you change the code, the model changes.
Do you know of any products that do this (and can be used with C), or if this would be helpful for you?
They have to be. With all of the bugs within Windoze, noone would be able to get any work done.
I don't know about VB personally (and by the way, VB wasn't developed by MS, they bought it), but ever look at all of the crap that MS-VC++ generates for you when you create anything involving COM?
They know its a bad thing, we know its a bad thing, however they probably have miles of 1.5 inch plastic pipe, that they need to sell. If it overheats your computer, then it is your fault for not installing the pipe(s) correctly.
Come to think of it I have several 1.5 pipes, any buyers???

Heat travels from hot areas to cold areas.
This won't work for the same reason why you can't make an airconditioner with only an inside unit (you need the outside unit as the heat sink).
Now, if your computer room/home office is in a basement, geothermal cooling could work.
I bet the scripting tools that you use or develop are simular in syntax to C. If this is the case it sounds like you are alreading doing what Kunta Kinte is saying -- you are specializing in C.
Now, I would be very impressed if your scripting languages that you use aren't

Gimpel Software produced C-Terp before borland came out with turbo C. I wonder if they still use c-terp to develop PC-Lint?
