Again, I dont have stats, but how many men go to jail is sweeden every year for doing a woman (or in this case 2 women) bareback.
Sweden has some very weird laws regarding consent. Anything which might cause her to do what the USA calls the "walk of shame" the next day can be rape. Even a particularly clever chat up line which lowered her defenses can theoretically get you charged with rape.
Don't even think of buying a girl a drink if you ever go over there. You could be doing prison time if she wakes up thinking it wasn't worth it.
Personally I think half the reason he doesn't want to is because he's afraid he won't get yanked out to the United States. That would really damage his whole martyr/conspiracy victim image. Without that he's a seriously underwhelming and unprepossessing figure. He'll get prosecuted, he'll be freed, or he might serve some jail time, and in a few months or a few years he'll come out, not having been assassinated. But by then everyone will have forgotten about him.
Riiiight. And the fact that the US Secretary of State visited Sweden (the first official in 34 years) a few days before he was due to be extradited from the UK was a total coincidence? I think you underestimate the number of votes 'bringing him to justice' in the USA would gain.
Yeah. I'm not a fan of C++, though the compiler spends so little time running that this shouldn't pose much of a problem with bloat and clunk. On the other hand, loading C++ stuff is an abomination that takes eternity due to massive mangling (a problem Michael Meeks has spent a lot of time trying to marginalize with Bdirect linking, faster hash algorithms, etc), and the compiler gets run repeatedly.
I'm not sure mangling is really as much of a problem people make it out to be. It *did* cause problems trying to mix binaries from different compilers but I don't think it was ever really a performance problem. If linking is slower it's because the programs are larger.
OTOH name mangling is a massive benefit to programmers. Writing big programs is a huge pain in the butt if every single function/variable has to have a unique name. Namespaces are one of the reasons C++ programs scale so much better then C programs.
I dunno. I don't see what business non-C++ programmers have working on a C++ compiler. One of the problems might be that they're still using malloc() and strdup().
What if I need to rotate the car's wheels in a hurry, while the steering wheel happens to be rotated ? Suppose I hit/release the button that engages the wheels back to the steering wheel - should they just snap into the rotate position, treat the current position as zero, or ignore the steering wheel until it's back in the default position ?
If the wheel is disconnected you just reconnect it in whatever position it's in. There's no fixed relationship between the steering wheel and the steering. You can (eg.) disconnect, turn it 90 degrees, then reconnect again and the car's front wheels don't turn.
Ultimately, the car is likely headed to a system where there are multiple dumb screens networked into a single "smartphone"-like compute platform for the vehicle. The screens provide independent interfaces but can display common shared applications being run by the compute platform
What about blind people? They have no problem using real buttons, how will they be able to use the new 'smart' system?
turn steering wheel to the left => reduce stereo volume
turn steering wheel to the right => increase stereo volume
can't get much more tactile than that:)
With a few changes, that might work: Treat the steering wheel as a rotary encoder and have a button that momentarily disconnects it from the wheels. On a straight piece of road it wouldn't be a problem to disconnect the steering for a few seconds.
You obviously wouldn't want it to activate in a corner so as a safety feature you could make it only work when the steering wheel is straight. Apart from that you have the perfect input device for analog settings like music volume, seat adjustment, cup holder temperature, etc.

Only the conspiracy nutjobs thinks it was a US plot to execute him.
We'll see what happens tomorrow. Want to bet if you'll be eating those words or not?
Tus papeles por favor = Your papers please
Wouldn't they say "Sus papeles..." in Ecuador?
Weren't they the ones who helped defeat the MAFIAA by wearing Guy Fawkes masks in parliament? We could do with a few more countries like that.

$5 per month is no longer in the realm of "nickel& dime", it's bare-faced robbery.
Yep. Surely this makes it far, far easier to block these sites at the ISP level.
Then again, maybe we're expecting politicians to understand technology.

going to C++ may not help.

Listen more carefully. All the C diehards are screaming in rage.
Linus must be screaming inside.
Death in 100% N2 would be via hypoxia - rather pleasant....
Maybe they teach LOGO. That can be learned in a day...
Reading the review, it sounds like the Model M is still going to be superior.
...and cheaper.
You can get a new one for $79 on pckeyboard.com.
...as opposed to spending ten minutes trying to get voice control to work for every simple function that used to take two seconds to complete.
Driving angry is bad. Bad for safety. Bad for fuel consumption.
Whoosh! What sort of humorless sloths are moderating this 'insightful'?
The "WHOOOOSH" generated by this post is louder than an old PowerMac G5 with a bad thermo-sensor.
I used to own a twin-tower Silicon Graphics VGX. I'll put the whoosh of one of those up against ANY Mac, broken sensor or otherwise.
Temporarily deactivate the steering wheel? You're kidding right?
Yes, I was....please press disconnect and turn the wheel to the right to raise your humor setting a bit.

I think the primary input has to be voice.
The day I have to go around shouting at all my household devices to get them to do anything is the day I no longer want to live on planet earth.

Got it.
Was it really necessary to explain the SI unit 'pico' on Slashdot...?
1) Fast
2) Cheap
3) Large capacity.
Pick two.
