Of course it will. The worst bit is that it won't be just your audio system not working either, but some critical part. Cruise control malfunctions can be relatively benign or they can be the equivalent of someone stomping on the accelerato

djgpp ftw. This was a fun read, and what is scary is how much of this memory is fresh as newly plucked fruits with uncounted boxes full of APIs that have long gone to dust sitting besides it. Maybe one day it will come in handy again. In ca

People drop out of school and out of university for all the wrong reasons. Laziness, unable to look past the next test to the larger picture of what being educated is all about. The people that drop out for the right reasons may have such m

A university level computer games development course? How does that follow, wouldn't it be much more practical to do a general cs curriculum and then to specialize in visualization and/or interaction rather than something so narrow as games

When Soviet Russia imploded in the former USSR and in lots of satellite states huge amounts of state owned real estate and means of production changed hands for peanuts. It was probably the largest theft in our lifetime and whether you call

You forgot about Santos-Dumont, and many others besides. Europe definitely didn't believe it was a hoax, in fact there were lots of people working at attempting powered flight. That does not diminish the accomplishments of the Wright brothe

I have a simple trick for that: I know the consumption of my car on a level road in 5th gear at 90 km/h, so when I'm in doubt about whether or not I'm going up, down or level I look at the fuel consumption indicator. If it is higher than 6.

Criminals routinely invest lots of money in losing enterprises. This is called money laundering. They'll take a hit from 30 to 70% or even worse just to be able to get their money back in a way that they can spend it legitimately. They may
