What you're looking for is one of the LTS versions of Ubuntu. Supported for up to three years. If you can't be bothered to install one of those, or want the new shinies of the new version, that's up to you, but that "I have to upgrade every 6 months" talk is bullshit.
I'm sorry, no. Try doing something as simple as drawing a black box or triangle in GIMP. Why the hell do you have to use paths to draw simple geometric shapes?
Not really. RuntimeException and its subclasses don't need to be, and often aren't, declared in the function's interface. Still, exceptions are useful and I think a modern language should support them, unless they're going for the embedded space.
In my country, it's a hierarchichal thing. You're supposed to follow traffic officer's directions, variable message signs, traffic lights, road signs, road markings and general traffic rules, in that order. If one doesn't exist, you just follow the next. Though yeah, in practice, it doesn't count for much.
Jesus, I DO keep a safe distance and mostly avoid braking on the freeway. That's not the point! Is it that hard to envision that not everybody does, thus making that braking dangerous behavior? Plus, even with a safe distance, even a small distraction can have consequences in that case.
P.S.: I live in Europe too, but I don't think that's relevant to this discussion.
Man, this was always about the guys behind you braking safely, not you. If you slam the brakes out of the blue because your radar detector went off, you have people who didn't expect you to on your tail. What's safer? Braking out of the blue, or keeping at 100 mph?
If you brake for a hidden radar that only you know about, in the best case nothing happens. Typically, it creates a traffic jam. In the worst case, with someone distracted/tailgating, you get rear-ended at 75 to 100 mph. But hey, you saved the money from the ticket, so that's okay, right? RIGHT?
Having just come from two weeks on vacation with no internet, pretty well, in my experience. The only problem I recall having is with achievements not getting counted even after going online.
As for the price, I just mentioned it since it's easier to justify an "indefinite rental" rather than a purchase if the price for the former is lower.

I'd rather have a numpad and na Fn key, thanks. Especially like in my laptop, where Fn+Arrows is Page Up/Page Down/Home/End. It's rather nice.
Don't you mean "Rap on"? ;)
Was it Intrepid?
For less than $1000, it's a steal! I'd buy it even for $2000, if it had a better looking frame.

Yes, and it applies to this case, too.
Actually, I wonder what's the efficiency of a car engine in winter, when the heat is also used to heat the passenger cabin.
Though it blue-screened almost constantly when I started using it, ext2fsd is pretty stable, these days.
How is that related to what I said?

Duh! Come on, man, everybody knows that the Internet is not something that you just dump something on!

Is it that way all across the US?

Completely offtopic, but if you can lock your keys in your car without going to great lengths to do it, your car's designer should be fired.
Usually the answer is "because you don't want to spend time customising it to your needs", but people's mileage may vary.
Maybe they could... sell international ads? *shock*
You must really like people talking trash about the work you do, to hang around here.

A radar gun pointed at you is hardly "an emergency situation".
...and that braking maneuver out of the blue is actually more dangerous than merely going 100 mph with road conditions that allow it.
