That would be terrible. ODB2 is based on CAN which was designed specifically for cars. Replacing CAN with a less rugged, higher latency, master/slave layer like USB would be dumb.
Perhaps you could put some more smarts into each car talking to the components under the hood via CAN and then have it spit out a detailed message over USB or even print it on an LCD. But then your adding cost and have to decide how much it's really worth.
You, whenever you compile C++ code, as it is compiled to C before machine code (unless you are using an exotic compiler such as the Compaq AXP C++ compiler for TRU64)
GCC parses C++ to it's tree IR; there is no translation to C.
Furthermore, what's wrong with sleeping around, anyway?
Sleeping around spreads disease with AID being probably the deadliest. It's a damn shame that people like your mother could be exposed to the disease through no fault of their own, but when some people engage in behavior that's likely to spread AIDS, the risks to health care workers/hemophiliacs/pretty women increase as well. That's the funny thing about infectious diseases; it's not just your own life you have in your hands.
You said it took like 20 minutes to start them all up. I hope that was an exaggeration.
No exaggeration. I don't have that system booted now, but I think it was just running the stock Ubuntu kernel. The machine I'm on now shows similar delays and has `uname -a' of "Linux virjay 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 #2 PREEMPT Sat Jul 7 15:43:34 EDT 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux". I don't have any significant experience with pthreads, so I'm not sure why it seems so slow. The business section of the code is:
More significantly, I have *never* seen a truly convincing argument or explanation as to why Europe and Asia are (or were ever) considered separate continents
Well, I had always assumed they were different tectonic plates separated by the Urals, but apparently that's not the case.
I'd love to hear a report from how Linux does running the equivalent.
For an unbenchark, running 32K threads of while(1); on linux-2.6.20 on a pentium 3 gave Gnome fits, but the console remains mostly usable. It took about 20 minutes to start all the threads. Occasionally forking a new process takes about a minute and there's sometimes a delay echoing input. Other than that, it seems ok.
So pick a different one. Unlike the monopoly status of telecoms and utilities, there's healthy competition in the financial industry. If your a customer with a few neurons to rub together, you should do just fine.
I use Vim with the Steel-Bank Common Lisp compiler.
If you don't use SLIME, then you're really missing out. I switched from vim to emacs a year or two ago for this reason. Using viper-mode in emacs gives you VI keybindings, so you still have a real editor.
Along those same lines, please explain to me the justification behind ATM transaction fees.
You have an account with Bank A. You pay no fees to use Bank A's ATMs because bank A earns money to cover the cost of operating the ATM by loaning out your deposit. You do not have an account with bank B. When you use bank B's ATM, they must somehow cover the cost of using the ATM. That is what the ATM fee is for. Of course, the fee is based more on the demand for the service/convenience than on the actual cost of operation.
All US banks are legally obligated to disclose any fees they charge (Truth-in-Savings act, I think). Usually, you can just go to their website and look at their fee schedule. It's up to you to do your homework before you open an account.
Explain me double fees (I get charged twice the fee, once by the ATM owner, and once by my bank).
Your bank sucks, really. There are some banks (ufb, gmac, among others) that, in addition to not charging foreign atm fees, will even refund you the fees that the other bank charges.
Both DNS and Usenet have a hierarchal organization. My point was that the granularity of namespaces provided by DNS is less than the granularity provided by trademarks.
Also, Usenet is neither behind nor in front of the Web. They are different applications, and both are still quite useful.
There's also Remy the auto parts manufacturer and Remy the cognac producer, if you want another example. Both companies were named after a couple of the Remy brothers several generations ago. Should we just use made-up words to name companies? Seems like that could get impractical and ridiculous pretty quickly.
It might make more sense to have per industry TLD's or subdomains of com. in the same way companies in different industries can trademark the same name, ie previously Apple Records vs. Apple Computers becomes apple.mus.com and apple.comp.com or something like that.
doesnt count? This sounds illegal if not unconstitutional. If a group can reelect themselves without the need for citizens voting we're in serious trouble.
This is the (private) party. They're not technically part of the government, which I guess means they can do whatever the hell they want so long as they don't tick off enough people to lose the next election.
How long till Congress decides, we dont need to have a vote, we'll choose who is best for president.

That was actually the original intention. Something about ignorant farmers not being able to pick the best candidate. Ah, how times have changed...
I believe a large part of window's problems are the fact that since MS wants it on every computer in the world, so they have to make it appealing to everyone. They want geeks to like it, but they also want John Q. Public to like it as well. Therefore, windows is a compromise of power, customizability, and ease of use that no one really likes, they just deal with it.
Some people seem to think MacOSX gracefully combines power and ease of use. It sure does seem to be popular with the CS professors. Ubuntu on the linux side is also getting easier with every release while still being Debian at heart. While making an OS with broad appeal may be difficult, Microsoft's competitors are doing it, which just makes its own incompetence all the more astounding.
Do bank employee salaries come out of your account too?
Why, yes, sort of. Why do you think brick-and-mortar banks stuffed full of tellers offer below 1% on deposits while online banks with more machines than tellers offer above 5%? Anything that raises banks operating costs will reduce the amount they can potentially pay for deposits, and given the pretty good competition in the financial industry, the amount a bank can pay for deposits should be pretty close to the amount they will pay.
You couldn't find a prosecutor in this country who would prosecute either of us for lying about a BJ unless there were some ulterior motive behind it. And you wouldn't find an honest judge who would entertain such arguments.
Clinton's shenanigans aside, the magic word is "Sexual Harassment," and the common man would assuredly at least be fired.
A bunch of lower division math courses do not a math degree make.
Who said lower division? You take out "Advanced C Programming" and replace it with "Advanced Algorithms" or some such. There's more to math than Calculus.
I don't know where you go to school
Purdue
CS - programming = a few lower division math and science courses. I went to the University of California, and the highest math class CS majors had to take was the lowest upper division math class offered, a "bridge course" on proof techniques and set theory (which, when I took it, most of the CS majors managed to fail).
Students here take through some level of calculus (I don't know the exact requirement. I'm also engineering and they require more calc than CS) and Linear Algebra. They also take a discrete math and and an algorithms course. FA's are covered in Compilers. "Theory of Computation" (FA, PDA's, Turing machines, more proofs) is an elective.
CS may have grown out of the math departments at Stanford and Berkeley, but these days (lamentably) a CS degree appears to be equivalent to a vocational programming degree from a technical school like DeVry. Seriously, it doesn't take much to learn Java, C++, assembly or whatever.
Agreed. Some of the stuff that passes for CS is pathetic (Ball State is an example close to home).
The abstract algorithm development stuff with proofs and rigour that used to be the core of a CS degree is mainly taught in graduate school these days.
But that's all that's left when you take out the programming. You can make a strong argument that CS is just a branch of discrete mathematics, and if you believe Djikstra, computers are only incidental to CS. My point was that a CS degree is a combination of discrete math and it's application (programming). If some schools want to separate the two, fine, but maybe it would be better off putting the math in the math department rather than doing something just to get women into computers.

Somebody better get crackin' on those positronic brains then. You try teaching silicon what "harm" means.
That would be terrible. ODB2 is based on CAN which was designed specifically for cars. Replacing CAN with a less rugged, higher latency, master/slave layer like USB would be dumb.
Perhaps you could put some more smarts into each car talking to the components under the hood via CAN and then have it spit out a detailed message over USB or even print it on an LCD. But then your adding cost and have to decide how much it's really worth.

I'm quite sure that some of the brightest minds would not want to spend time to juggle with any word processor. They have better research to do.
Seriously though, for anything longer than 3 pages, LaTeX is easier. You just write the content and let it figure out the formatting.

CS without programming is just a math degree, right? Why not call it that and be done?
Also, 28%?! It's more like 8% here.
