Recently I came across some old LEGO bricks that I never even knew existed (the 4 types of "macaroni" bricks). Now there may be another, but I don't have more than a diagram on a box. Has anyone ever heard of the following bricks: a 2x12 and a 2x14 (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

Also, the lack of rounding made it hard to pry the pieces apart. (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Dear ?: First off, your program contains an infinite loop; statement return(0); will never be reached. Also you told it that main does not return a value, yet you used e return in the end. This will generate a compiler error for sure. I belief the (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
