I think that you can use the usual 'system call interface' paradigm. All 
data is private to a set of subroutines, which form an object. There is 
a single entry point and you select the function (method) using a 
parameter. Inheritance is by forwarding calls to an inherited object.

The Autostadt is kinder to the cars than leaving them outside. I
remember Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear saying once that the
outdoor carpark at Mercedes is so big that it affects the weather
in the area. In that area are vineyards, which are helped when
more tarmac is exposed. So the conclusion was if you wanted
to see less good German wine on the market, don't buy a Merc

[EE]: Distance and height measurement.

Hi all,

I'm tinkering with an idea, but I think it is beyond me - I'm not sure tho. 
Basically, it's a height at a given distance determination.

I was thinking of using 2 sensors one angled down and one angled up, using 
the angle between them, and the distance calculated from the sensors to 
determine the height.

This worked out pretty good until I found that only short range sensors are 
cheap :)  I'd like to figure out something that would read say a hundred 
feet ahead.  The idea would be to measure the height from an overhang or 
bridge or opening to ground from a distance.

I was then thinking of some sort of camera system to capture an image, say 2 
per second, but then came the problem of determining automatically what is 
above and where "ground level" is to that above area.

So, if you can imagine - in my rather lame ascii art....

Yes, that was bad. But ever since I upgraded to solid state hardware, I
never had an XP crash again.

[OT] Homebrew fountain help

I'd like to make some fountains for my home, and I'm wondering
if anyone has any input.

In particular, I'm wondering about an equation describing the
behavior of a stream of water emerging from a hole in a
reservoir.  Google search terms are proving elusive.  It seems to
me that the equation should be pretty simple, based on depth
of water and size of hole.  The result should be a half-parabola.

Anyone have any ideas?

Mike H.
