FYI, in usual radio communication, what flies through the air are not electrons but photons. These photons are generated by wiggling a few electrons back and forth at the transmitter, and this in turn wiggles a few electrons back and forth on the receiving end.
There is the new cruiser class, where contestants are judged not on their speed but their practicality by a jury.
Setting clear price requirements is very difficult since man-hours can make up for costs of individual parts, and most of the teams consist of groups of students (10-30 each) working full-time for a year or more on just that one car. Either way, $10,000 is way below what you need for a serious solar car (you can easily spend that kind of money on the solar panels alone).
I have double feelings about having to quote maddox about this, but he put it quite succinctly:
First of all, if you're leading your life in such a way that you never have to do math, congratulations, you are a donkey.
Why is math the only discipline that has to put up with this bullshit? People gladly learn art, music, literature and geography. You'll even nod like a happy idiot when you learn what a haiku is, and you never complain or whine about how you'll never use this in your "life." When is the last time you wrote a haiku, asshole?

The Guardian Weekly is, in my opinion, a great weekly paper with many in-depth articles, most of which from an objective point of view. And even if they are subjective, this is usually clear, and gives another interesting view on the matter. The news is "worldly" (ie. not about Justin Bieber's latest haircut) and the result of a careful selection of the most interesting pieces from various other newspapers.
More importantly, because it is a weekly paper (and on top of that a tabloid), the amount of fillers is seriously reduced, and all articles are newsworthy and readable.

Except there is. In the Netherlands, you are obliged to report serious crime with authorities.
I fail to see how this article is worthy of being on the front page. Sure, the fish itself was an interesting find in 1938, but we have been sequencing DNA for years now - what's so special about this paper?
Could you try to explain what it *is* like?
I think this fails for exactly the reason pointed out in the exert: it only hides the actual code between point and click programming.
Oh sorry, then I take back my swearing
Yes I agree.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
