You'd have to entrust it to a valet -- which is nasty, or park away from the place you are going, which once again defeats the privilege that having a driver provides.
No, you'll tell the car to go park itself, and call it on your cell phone to tell it to come pick you up when you're ready.
(I picked the one that zeroed out my taxes for the year. I didn't get audited.)
Yet.
The alleged "authority of experts" is questionable marketing bravado. In the last century, a large percentage of their articles were gleaned from popular media sources of the day and the authors were newspaper and magazine contributors.
We have a copy of the 11th edition, from 1915. It's not so great for recent history, but the list of contributors is impressive. A friend at work asked me to bring him the article on capillary action because he'd heard that it was written by J.Willard. Gibbs (if I remember correctly...). I had to tell him that the article wasn't actually by Gibbs -- he only edited it. It was originally written by some guy named James Clerk Maxwell.
"Discover" doesn't have to mean "first to discover". If you discover that your wife is having an affair, does that mean that she didn't know about it already?
I hadn't heard that interpretation before. I'll ask about it. Thanks.

You must be reading that differently than I am, or talking about a different situation. My program is a large app that might benefit from including some GPL code from elsewhere. It's not an "improvement to a GPL program".

I think you have it backwards. It's ok for my code to be used anywhere. The problem is that I can't use other people's GPL'd code in mine, even though mine is being made available even more freely than GPL'd code.

I work for a US government lab (NIST) and the software I write is freely available and not subject to copyright, by law. I would expect the same rule to apply to NASA. The lack of copyright actually causes a problem for us, because the GPL requires that authors copyright their code so that they can apply the GPL to it. That means that we can't apply the GPL and therefore can't use GPL code. I hope this is the sort of issue that this conference is going to iron out.

I used this strategy
>>> import random
>>> random.choice(["rock", "paper", "scissors"])
>>> etc.
and it still beat me 20-10. I didn't have the patience for a statistically significant number of tries, though.
Of course, most digitals that I've seen have a reasonably functional autofocus
Every one that I've used has been a real pain if you want to focus on something other than what the camera wants you to focus on. I've got lots of nice clear pictures of rocks when I wanted a picture of the person standing behind them.
Though I imagine it would be really incredibly difficult to make a DSL camera take a shot that was deliberately just slightly out of focus.
My DSLR lens has a very easy manual focus override. It even works when the autofocus is turned on. I've never seen a non SLR digitial with a manual focus that was at all convenient.
I'm not entirely sure I understand what the advantage of the reflex mechanism is for a digital camera. (for a film camera, yeah, I completely understand. But those reasons mostly don't translate to digial *at all*.)
It's much easier to focus on exactly what you want with an SLR, even a digital one.
