vector
-
in biology, a vector is something that delivers something else (ex. something that carries a disease to a new host). so, i get a little giggle every time i type "std::vector" (ie. something that transmits STDs) i'm easily amused -c
To explain Donald Knuth's relevance to computing is like explaining Paul's relevance to the Catholic Church. He isn't God, he isn't the Son of God, but he was sent by God to explain God to the masses.

Aaah... It's time to relax. You know what that means: a glass of beer, your favorite ergo chair... And of course, The Code Project loaded on your Personal Computer System. So go on, and indulge yourself, put your feet up. Lean back and just enjoy the articles. After all, CP sooths even the savage :bob:

So in biology it is the means of transmission, in programming it's an array of items, and in math a vector is a direction. Are there any other overloadings of the word vector? Actually my favourite overloaded word is bank. You can bank your money. (verb) You can put your money in a bank. (noun) You can stand on a river bank. (noun) You can bank a plane. (verb) I think there are some others, but I cant remember them off the top of my head at the moment.

it's also a verb. you can "vector" something to the bank. it means to guide or to control the direction, etc.. www.m-w.com , for all your dictionary needs :) -c

Yeah - sorry about that. Have just been playing around with ways to make it easier for you guys to mess around with HTML in names. I've plugged everything back in now so it should all work. cheers, Chris Maunder

Chris you're working way too hard, sit back and crack open a 4 pack (UK) or 6 pack (US). BTW: our tinnies are bigger in the UK anything between 440 and 500ml. Cheers :beer: Normski. - Professional Windows Programmer
The alcohol by volume is generally higher in Canada than the states. On a business trip in Indiana or Michigan, I bought a bottle of Canadian beer and neither I, nor the people I was with could find the %age anywhere on the label. Not that it mattered though, I didn't want to get drunk with my boss anyway. :) "You don't have to be a political scientist or a history major to see the 'bigger dick foreign policy' at work. It goes something like this: 'What?! They have bigger dicks? Bomb them!' And of course the bombs and the bullets and the rockets are all shaped like dicks. I don't understand that part of it, but it is part of the equation." -George Carlin

I've heared a mp3 once that described all the possible usage of the F word. You can even build a complete sentence of almost only the f word. I just tried to google for it but that's prooved a little to tricky. It assumes I want to F instead :) Rutger

5.5% on Moosehead, the only good beer out there. I tried some American beer a while back... About as alcoholic as water. :-D

Begian beer called Duvel (= Devil) 7.5%, some residue yeast on the bottom of the bottle. It hits like a hammer if you drink it like ordinary beer (esp. on a hot day sitting in the sun ) Reg Rutger
How about Samiclaus - ~18%, but they don't make it any more. :(
