I've seen trading platforms in Java (Island) and was surprised at the number if transactions per second. I don't see Java jobs in London that much but lots of C#. Maybe that's UI work. Bloomberg are very C++ orientated and they're known for their trading platform. Lots of Boost in there AFAIK.

Yeah, it's a bit odd here. Temperature in Celsius and distance in miles. People's height in feet & inches and weight in stones & pounds. It's even odder in a supermarket where we use both imperial and metric. You can buy cheese at the deli in either unit. Thank goodness we ditched the old coinage for a metric system. Mind you, it'd be more hip to say we used LSD as a currency :-)

They do a trip to the UK and come by HP Labs in Bristol, conveniently where I work. It's worth attending for a good set of laughs and the award winners take it all in good humour.

I remember actually seeing this via MacsBug back in the early 90s. I also remember we had a few MacPlus' that had engraved signatures on the inside of the box.

Good grief! Taking the drive apart! It's a whole load easier to crack the game. Often a lda #1 and a nop. Skate or Die was hard though - lots of self modifying xor code in loops.

Hopefully it'll not be like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Sq-s7V_qg

What about National Geographic? That's a top US mag and we get it in Europe too - even translated. As for magazines I buy, T3 magazine is my favorite but there are far too many adverts in it. It's also pretty expensive IMO.

I thought it was barrels?

Maybe it's where the beer atom was split?

Develop it? Can't we just use the Stargate under NORAD?

I thought of Dr. Emmet Lloyd, creator of the flux capacitor.

Really... I hope it works out well.

A billion of them jumping and landing at the same time could be a deterrant for the Chinese doing the same. Another arms race?

It's either the brain slug or the hypnotoad that compromised them, IMO.

"ripped from a kids tv show". I thought it *is* a kids tv show?
