Imagine a glove like this that would talk to your car via bluetooth so you could manipulate anything on the dashboard, from radio to GPS nav system without taking eyes off the road and hands off the wheel. You've been listening to The Doors again, haven't you.
The customers pay for an individual license to listen to tracks on a well-defined set of devices.
Really? Show me how that's true.
I have paid for a plastic disc with digital information on it. As long as I don't redistribute that information in violation of the law (note, Fair Use is part of the law), I am free to do whatever I want with that disc and that information.
I remember when I bought my first AT class box... I told the shop to low-level format the harddrive with the case standing on its side, since I would be using the box in a tower configuration.
Heck, leave your hard drive with an innocuous Windows install, and boot -- AND RUN -- from a large flash drive. You can get them in 16 or even 32GB flavors now.
I don't think there's a supersonic tanker, much less one that can do refueling ops supersonic. That dangling probe *has* to fuck up any supersonic aerodynamics.
The B1-B also is a supersonic bomber -- I don't know if the Russkies have a supersonic bomber or not (and I'm too lazy to go check Jane's or FAS).
I saw one at the Van Nuys air show. There was not a single straight line or flat surface on that plane.
Anyone remember when that B1-B coming into Texas had a landing gear failure, and they diverted to Edwards to land on the lake bed? It was on all the broadcast news stations at the time.
It's appropriate here
There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years , the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped,or turned back, for their private benefit.
That was in reply to "Which "densely populated regions" have slow internet? Every major city I have examined in my area (Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, D.C.) is getting wired with 20 megabit cable or FiOs"
I don't have FIOS. I'm 18000 feet from the CO at Topanga and Vanowen, so I can't get better than 1.5Nbps (actually 768K) DSL. I could get 3-5 with Time Warner.
But... I don't know anyplace in the Valley that could get 20Mbps short of a T-whatever line.
I went through this debate as a CS student 25 years ago (UCSC). The professors were teaching theory. We wanted more "practical" classes. To wit: VAX Assembly.
A few years after graduation, I realized the profs were right, and parent post has the exact correct reason. It may sound boring, but go with the more theoretical program, you'll be much better off.

Not to mention that scoped_ptr and shared_ptr are in the next iteration of the Standard (well, shared_ptr for sure, can't remember about scoped_ptr).
Mod parent up. Financial types *LOVE* the NonStops.

You forgot Imperial Assloads under your weight measurements, as well as VWs.
Except that the Judge appears ready to sanction the shyster. If you can't RTFA, at least RTFS.
Damn. You beat me to it. That was my first thought as well.
We are... MARSHALL!!!!!

I heard it was Wordpad. Something to do with lost source.
But can you trust the compiler?

How many VW's in an imperial assload?
Seriously, though, that's a fairly nice analysis.

Correction to my immediately previous post...
OK. Why the heck are you carrying 2 iPods and 2 laptops onto the plane? I could understand one of each, but....

That's a well known PC oxymoron -- "Microsoft Works"
I'm just waiting for the next 8.0 plus quake in that area.
That's true, I once posted that I'd kill for the VC6 IDE with the VC7.1 compiler.
I guess I've just gotten used to the VC7+ IDE now.

And VC6 is 10 years old, 3 versions old, and predates ISO/IEC 14882:1998(and 14882:2003).
Nobody should be using VC6 anymore.
