No, they aren't. They're obligated to only provide a way to get the source, not necessarily make it downloadable:
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be

Looking straight-on isn't a 3D perspective? Or do you really want to try using a 2D input device to dick with an isometric desktop view? Whoop-de-doo, you have a 3D-ish view into what is still a 2D interface. Unless the input devices change to make 3d navigation easier) and the displays change to display real 3D rather than a window to 3D, what we have now is about as efficient as you get.
What other kinds of effects would you expect? There's no way for it to cause any kind of ionizing effects at the intensity and frequencies we're talking, which really only leaves heating effects.
Try a desk fan instead of the AC fan. It'll keep you from having to bring in cold air from outside, and then pay the heating bills from warming it back up later.
Which is why we want to watch the whole thing. Don't forget that Mars' gravity is less than that of Earth, and things will fall slower, and fly further (especially with the much thinner atmosphere).
It's a bitch to deal with two players, feeding two sets of cables, two different inputs, etc. Keeps you from being able to plug in another device in the worst case. I do agree with you on Blu-Ray, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna deal with the DRM bullshit of it.
I can afford to take a chance on a format. I'm just not going to patronize a business that's consumer-hostile. I have self respect, and if they don't want to provide a product that will allow me to use it as *I* see fit, rather than under "license" as they see fit, fuck 'em. I'll spend my money elsewhere.
Brain bleach? Is that what that 2 girls 1 cup thing is? I've been wary of it since I thought it was some kind of "shock" site similar to goatse, but now that I know that, I'm gonna go look. Thanks!
Driving lane and passing lane is how I've been taught;) You drive in the driving lane, and pass in the passing lane. If you aren't passing, and you're just driving, you better get your ass back over to the right.
Dude, it's totally dumb that we can't fly, too. Stupidest thing you can do is to not fly.
Nintendo would love to have the consoles to sell, but it would cost too much to get another production line building the things for the projected sales. They've been running full-tilt in production for a long time.
And what exactly does your car look like? License plate number? I need to know which one to pop all the tires on, as well as smash any glass components. Thanks!
Some people do use SUV's, though. They're really nice in mountain states in the snow and such, if you know how to drive them. My Corolla won't go anywhere near as many places as my old Blazer did, and they are places I want to go from time to time. The fix is to get cops to target imbeciles driving vehicles too large for their skill level, and make it expensive to drive them badly, rather than more expensive to just drive them. It's already a lot more expensive in fuel costs and additional taxes.
And external influences would be cell phone calls to talk to their fucking poodle. Or Weimaraner. Whatever's hip these days, and allows them to redirect their already low cognitive capabilities even further away from the task at hand, which is being a competent driver.
Interesting. I see crap like that anyway, though. Seems people don't think they should go highway speed when merging onto a highway, be it HOV lane or not. They don't accelerate until they're actually on the highway, which causes all kinds of merging issues.
Weaving, no. But I will take the opportunity to pass someone on the right if they've left a half a mile between them and the guy in front of them, and are just yakking on their cell phone. There's a difference between effective lane changing and weaving through traffic;)
Oh, I agree. I drive up to Estes Park from Denver fairly often... I'll find myself taking highway 7 because there's just less traffic, even if it's a bit longer. I can actually pass people going slow on 7, since they don't have 15 cars backed up behind them, and yet the jackass still refuses to pull over...
And, I have an automatic transmission. You can do the same kind of engine braking in an automatic as with a manual. I downshift out of overdrive and even into 2nd quite often in my Corolla. It's just stupidity that keeps people riding their brakes, not some inherent superiority of manual transmissions.
I've found it's often cell phones, not that they have too big of a vehicle. I'd guess that probably 10% of the people I pass on my daily commute are holding phones up to their ears, and not paying attention because of it. I can't count the number of times I've been cut off without someone signaling or had some moron creating a "Polish road block" (as my Polish fiancee calls it) in the passing lane because they're chatting with someone. No cars in front of them for a mile, but they just have to match speed with someone beside them, forcing people who want to go faster queue up behind them... ignorant twits.
Apparently, a lot of people think that their vehicles only have "stop" and "go" modes, without multiple different levels of coasting and slowing down without the brakes for those minor adjustments. I'll take my car out of overdrive quite often to adjust just a bit, rather than hitting the brakes needlessly. That way when I hit my brakes, I actually mean it. Brake lights = slowing down non-trivially. I wish more people did that.
Human reaction times, on the other hand, have remained pretty much constant. And even gone down, with the number of morons who talk on their phones while driving... I'm glad they slow down to drive more safely, but do it in the driving lane damnit, not the passing lane!
Drive as far ahead of you as you can see. If the lane's ending, get over BEFORE it ends. It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who speed right up to where the lane ends and then expect to be let in, especially big trucks. I'll let people over if they signal at all beforehand that they understand the lane is ending and they want over. But if they drive right up to the end? Fuck 'em. They can pull off on the shoulder and wait or get pulled over when they try to pass everyone on the shoulder. I've seen it happen... made me happy:)
That's why I've always followed the 2 second rule. When the back bumper of the car in front of you passes a fixed point (bridge pylon, mile marker, shoe on the side of the rode, whatever), it should be 2 seconds before your front bumper passes that same point. That will give you a better estimate than the 1 car length/10MPH, and it will give you enough time to react to sudden braking or whatever, given normal human reaction times. Of course this changes if you have a larger vehicle that has a longer stopping distance, but not much.

I think he responds faster if you call him "Captain", rather than "Capitan"

You should rephrase that. They THINK they own you. Now what are you going to do about that?
Wish granted. Do I get a cookie? ;)
I get to go first!
