A great "Art" film. The story would have come across better if Kubrick had not removed the narration nine weeks before the film's release. There is so much more to the story that is in the book. For my money the special effects still stand up well. 2010 was a straight up action sequel which I also enjoyed.

Hi,
Today i gave an assessment for asp.net and Sql Server for some recruiter on ikmnet.com and overall my assessment went up and down but the final result was quite impressive not what i was expecting it was in 90 percentile overall.
What i saw was the questions were quite tricky and one could learn deep about the concept or feature of language being asked.
I didn't recorded my session that way i could had questions to review later, but i avoided that as it didn't looked ethically right and second reason was i might be disqualified from the test.
So i am looking for forums like ikmnet where we can have mock assessments to practice and improve our concepts and knowledge about different topics in software development, and more specifically asp.net and c# specifics and SQL Server stuff. Can anybody here aware of any thing like this?

mcsa mcsd - Google Search[^]; all depends what you want to learn. But passing an online quiz is not the same as a face to face interview with an interviewer who knows the subject.

It's not about just passing online quiz, the questions were quite interesting and can conclude how deeply one knows the subject, so I was looking for that kind of platforms where we can practice with Mock tests to improve our knowledge

You would probably learn more from the articles here on CodeProject.

What a selfish nut-job! 
Good thinking by the cops though, too risky to continue the chase + high risk of causing other accidents.

Before anyone suggests that it was my car, keep in mind that a) I live in Texas, b) my car is white, and c) my car is much faster.

The funny (or perhaps sad) bit is that the article author decided to make it a sort of advertisement for the Mustang.

In the style of a TV commercial: "Tired of getting speeding tickets? Tired of all those flashing lights in the mirror when you just want a peaceful drive in the dark after a heavy night of drinking? Well then I've got the car for you! It's slick, stylish, and fast - a Mustang! Announce to everyone else on the road - move over pansies! A real man is coming through. Get yours today!"

Non-professional use of this car may result in unsatisfactory results including, but not limited to, speeding tickets, DUIs, death, vehicular assault, vehicular homicide, reckless driving, and destruction of property.

Yeah, I'll bet he hit 150 going downhill and yours could do it uphill, right?

You forgot:
d) I usually chase the police, not the opposite.

Are you sure? Maybe the white car IS your other car[^]

Is it time to consider arming the police with these?

As long as the "average" citizen can also be so armed!

Have you ever hit anything with one of these? 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

My only experience with weapons is using an M-1 carbine on a firing range (in the civil guard in Israel). Even there, my score was terrible.

It may have been some time since I last practiced with such a weapon, but believe me, hitting a fast car would be a stroke of luck.

Not at all. Granted the window of opportunity would be open for much less time, but a skilled marksman could easily hit anything that big. Hitting the driver himself would be harder, but still possible.
