I assumed since you referred to "the speed limit", you had accounted for the fact that different states have different maximum speed limits and not all roads have the same speed limit, and thus this would be dynamic in some way (also, I have no idea how governors work).
As for getting out of the way of an emergency vehicle, you're supposed to pull over, not speed up. Speeding up instead will get you a ticket.
Didn't get me a ticket when I was driving down a one-way, single-lane road with cars on both sides and an ambulance rounded a turn behind me. I sped up until I could pull into a driveway so that the ambulance wouldn't have to wait on me. I've also ran a red light because of an ambulance in a similar situation. Perhaps you should realize that not all roads have places you can immediately pull over to, and that no single rule can cover all possibilities.
Perhaps you should look at the search before commenting on it. It does not filter results when the slider is at "Min", but filters nearly everything when the slider is at "Max". You don't eliminate the ability to get to some results with it.
Well, there isn't a KDE app similar to the Gimp that I know of, so it is unrelated to your original argument: "Gnome's apps are far more primitive than KDE's".
As you admit, Gaim is better than Kopete, but not by much. IMO, neither is "primitive" in comparison to the other, but I prefer Gaim's feature set to that of Kopete.
Your comparison of Galeon's Gecko and KDE's KHTML points out that there are trade-offs. Neither is hands-down better than the other.
I don't listen to music on my computer or use graphical file managers, so I can't compare those.
I think the differences you mention are merely differences between single application developers, not between the toolkits/environments themselves--some applications are just really good, and some aren't. Changing toolkits probably won't change much.
The talkback servers were hosted by Netscape, then AOL. The Mozilla Foundation does not have access to those servers anymore, but will hopefully have new talkback servers soon.
I wonder...how many people currently bashing the donation would say the same thing if "Linus" gave it instead.
Who's bashing the donation itself? I may not like Microsoft, but Paul Allen has little to do with Microsoft anymore, but I do like SETI, and see no reason to bash anyone for giving money to them. Some may poke fun at the donation, but few hate the fact that Paul Allen gave money to SETI.
The GPL'd code can be used commercially. In fact, it would VIOLATE THE GPL if they said it couldn't be used commercially.
How would it violate the GPL--if Trolltech said it couldn't be used commercially, that's their prerogative. They can even release it under the GPL, with the stipulation that it not be used commercially. This wouldn't make much sense, as there are better licenses for this, but it certainly is possible.
Besides, if they are violating the GPL, are the copyright holders going to sue them? While Trolltech's legal department might like the extra attention, I doubt they're going to sue themselves.
I'm a mentor for a FIRST Robotics team in Dublin, OH. The robot must score points either through grabbing a bar that's 10 feet in the air (the max height of the robot is 5ft), or pushing kickballs into a bin from which human players can pick them up and shoot them. It may not sound as impressive as the robots in the ROBOlympics, but we had six weeks from the time we learned of this year's goal to when our robot had to be done.
If you're interested in the ROBOlympics but for whatever reason can't travel to it, there should be a FIRST Regional Event near you (this weekend there's one in Brentwood, NY, Hartford, CT, Sacramento, CA, Duluth, GA, Annapolis, MD, and Detroit, MI). There's more for the next several weekends as well. There's also a Championship Event in Atlanta from April 15-17.
Yes, and a hummer does look fairly intimidating to the average car, but even looking at that picture, I can tell the hummer probably wouldn't fare well in a collision. And then, I've seen the TerraMax in person.
It depends on what you want. If you only want your code to be free, there are many licenses you can use. If you want your code and its derivative works to be free, there are other license options.
People aren't rewarded for what they do. They may still get that "warm fuzzy" feeling, but that doesn't always motivate people as much as money will. For instance, would someone like Bill Gates have spent so much time pushing forward the PC industry (I don't like the man, but I will give him credit for that) if there hadn't been a financial opportunity for him? Probably not. Also, communism calls for absolution of religion, which I, as well as many Americans, refuse to accept.
If you want me to continue this argument with you don't post as an AC.
Communism is a good thing, unfortunately it appears way too often accompanied by totalitarism which wastes all profit communism could provide, and gives otherwise very good ideals a really bad name.
To help prevent a flame war, I'll say that Communism is not a good thing, but it is infinitely better than the government of the USSR.
Make ESC stop animated GIFs. Just fucking do it already! It's been, what, 5 years now? How long could it possibly take to fix that [mozilla.org] bug [mozilla.org]?
Well, the first bug you refer to is marked as VERIFIED FIXED, so it shouldn't take long to fix it.

Well, I assume the light won't immediately turn green for the crossing direction--it'll just be red for both directions at the same time.

When you appear on too many buddy lists, AOL makes you appear offline to everyone. However, they can still send you messages if they want.
Try opening the pdf in KOffice.
They believe that the CVS and FTP servers (which is where source code would be) are unaffected. Phew!

In Perl, you can replace text that matches a regex in a string with '$string =~ s/regex/replacementText/'.

One of the other competitors is from my university. Looking at the relative sizes, I hope the hummer in the article doesn't get in TerraMax's way.

A real Universal Translator! Now if they can only fix these problems in time.

So at your college, the RIAA/MPAA/whoever can pick random students and remove their internet access? How much proof do you require?
