If they really cared about dangerous behavior on the road, they wouldn't give these assholes such light sentences. It's just like with driving drunk. Why should you ever *EVER* get your license back after you've been driving drunk? At the most lenient, you should get one chance.
Well, then the definition of drunk driving comes into play. If I had two glasses of wine on a night out, am I legally drunk? I've seen enough cars flipped over with corpses inside at night due to exhaustion/lack of sleep of the driver to firmly believe that regardless of drunkenness a lot less people should be driving than there already are. (If anybody mistakes this for me being on favour of the utter moronic and destructive practice of drunk driving, you should try and understand what I'm talking about, and not what I am not.)
Drive very dangerously (...) having sex (...)
I wouldn't want to be the one braking when getting head. Ouch!
Why we give lazy, careless, dangerous people continued access to dangerous hunks of speeding metal that can repeatedly put the rest of the public in significant danger is fucking beyond me.
You really should try both side by side. I use Yahoo (I like the UI better) and Google and frankly lately Google doeth sucketh the big wet titty on certain searches. Reviews? you end up with a dozen shopping sites that have stuck the word "review" in their page. With Yahoo I actually find a review for what I'm looking for within the top three searches.
Looking for something a little old, like say info about some part that landed in your lap?
I see comparable results. Do you have a specific search query that shows Google being significantly worse than Bing?
The problem with Google is two fold. One they favor their own sites whenever possible, which means they are more likely to give you crap from their sites than something useful from a potential competitor.
So you stick with Google if that is what makes you happy and works for you, but using both I'd say the Yahoo/Bing searches at least for the stuff i'm searching for is better.
Doesn't matter which you choose, why?, because the one that will search the best for you is the one you use the most, as your queries will start getting optimized for it and the site you use will customize the search results according to your extensive search history, a luxury that a search engine you barely use won't have.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1:
Dimensions: 256.6 x 172.9 x 8.6 mm
Size: 800 x 1280 pixels, 10.1 inches
Battery: around 10 hours
Price: $499
So for the same price, and the expectation that the software catalog is going to expand, you get a better hardware, with an OS designed from the ground up for tablets, with tablet-only semantics. Personally, as a dev, I can't wait to get my hand in one of these.
This is not about power generation but rather power distribution. Try this: take a common wire, open it up and separate a single copper hair. Use that to bridge an AA battery. It will get hot quickly, as the battery is discharging at its top speed. Now shortcircuit an electrical plug without protections. The hair will melt away quickly. That's what might happen to the grid.
Re:Best Distro to try this new KDE with?

The best distros for KDE are either the ones that modify it the least, or the ones that customize it with such attention to detail that it's great. In my opinion, the best so far are:
ArchLinux
Slackware
SuSE

You see that is what many FOSS devs (specially Linux Desktop devs (specially KDE devs)) don't seem to get.
You seem to think that FOSS devs are out to get users, when in fact they are out to make the best software they can, regardless of time to release and user base uptake. For people that want timed releases or that want its pet peeve solved/implemented without the will to do it or pay to get it done, that is undesirable, for people that are willing to either use "old", proved versions or follow along with experimental code for software that strives for excellence, this is great. To each its own.

Did they return the multiple desktop and individual backgrounds? Locking Apps to specific Desktops?
Others have already explained how to do the first, and as for the second:
Go to the title bar of the application you want to restrict to a desktop
Advanced
Special Application Settings
Geometry
Check Desktop, Force, Desktop
While you are at it, you'll see that you can set any attribute of that application's windows from here, even some that you most likely didn't even know existed.
No they haven't and they're still pushing Dolphin as the File manager instead of sticking with Konq, which worked quite well for that and browsing the web. Hell I found it quite useful when accessing an ftp site that I had write privs as it allowed me to simply copy files from the system to the server.
Is FTP access possible? Dolphin uses the KIO slaves like Konqueror and hence can access all common protocols like ftp:// home:/, file:/, system:/, media:/, remote:/, applications:/, sftp:/, fish:/ and smb:/.
As a 3.5 user, I would have preferred them to simply bug fix and transition 3.5 over to QT4. Some of the restructuring was needed but the complete change to the UI was totally unneeded. Instead they had to copy MS and Vista and loose the one feature that made KDE stand out for me, which was the configurable desktops, background images and locking apps to specific desktops.
All those things still exist, and they are also some of the reasons I use it too.
Have you seen any evidence that Google skews its ranking system in favor of clients that use other Google services? The most I've seen is ads being placed on top, clearly marked as ads. It is in Google's best interest to keep search excellent, regardless of any money that someone could throw at them. After all, they seem to be doing great without the need to sell out on search, don't they?
That is assuming that Open Source developers work on things because they are told to, and that because of that somebody working on the boot sub-system means less resources are allocated to those other sub-systems. Volunteers work on the projects they have an interest on, or they don't at all.
That article is talking about Samsung's first attempt at a tablet, the Galaxy Tab, which is completely different to the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which apparently has been selling quite well.
If you go to the only menu on Chrome, Tools, View Source, you'll see the shortcut too. Anyone who can't find it won't have much use to see the HTML source of any given webpage.

I find Google a little better, but you might be getting different results. Notice how the second result (at least for me, third on Incognito window) shows a review with its corresponding stars and a relevant summary. Bing is giving me mostly video reviews on youtube from whiny kids.

You say that as if they where being evil, but sometimes their services are the most relevant. I do find kind of funny that neither show Office 365 for that query, and if you go looking for it, only Google shows the official service's site first.
So you stick with Google if that is what makes you happy and works for you, but using both I'd say the Yahoo/Bing searches at least for the stuff i'm searching for is better.
