I've never seen a Japanese fancy-toilet that wouldn't work in a power outage. Are you sure the water basin was filled, and the water turned on in the flat?
Actually, it seems they would fall under the definition of planets in the new system. However, they can still be called moons because they orbit a planet, not the sun. The only ambiguous objects are those that are borderline-round/somewhat lumpy (apparently a quite rare condition for a heavenly object), or that have an orbit that somehow go from star to planet, and back to the star (wouldn't last very long in an n-body system). 'Moon' is thus a modifier for 'planet', and overrides the name. Now, whether an asteroid can be called a 'moon' is a different thing...
Unless the car has a GPS, it's probably not easy to determine where the car has been (though you could do some magic with speed/turnings). And if you don't know for certain where the car has been, you can't know what the speed limit was in the first place. Even if the rental lot is in the middle of a city, the customer might have towed the car to a highway, or something. Without GPS: no go on speeding tickets.
The distro maker usually does not have permission to change other people's licenses, only the authors themselves. The distro itself can be GPLv3 of course (install scripts, tweaks), but that's not the same as the bundled software. Any patches to bundled software needs to follow the software's own license, of course.
I find the beads on my abacus overheat to the point of spontaneous combustion when it gets slashdotted. That, is why not. OTOH the beads were threaded on CAT5, so didn't need any wireless. $existingTech FTW!
Yes, but a goldfish is a much larger creature than an ant. I'm thinking specifically of finding back to where the food was, finding your offspring, and other tasks that require memorization, and won't work with a scent trail like ants do.
Are you talking about a permanent station at Earth's L4/5?? Wouldn't we run into the same problems as with a Mars trip then? Ditto for the Moon's L4/5. Putting your first manned station with it's ass hanging in the (solar) wind doesn't seem sane to me.
I've had a PSU make a chirping bird-like noise every time I moved my mouse. On Windows, I had to kill explorer.exe about twice a month because the start menu was completely black and unusable, which I just recently found out is because of Logitech's monstrous webcam drivers (wtf?).
Might be. But the phone I had was shiny ferrari-red, pretty flat, easy to use with all the snazzy functions, never crashed, hinged camera, and had an awesome 480x640 screen. 4 years ago. I'd kill a cow to be able to use that phone in Europe, I still can't buy anything like it here.
The problem is that a scroll-wheel takes up a lot of space
No it doesn't. See, a scroll-wheel doesn't have to be a flat, round rubber disc, it can be a cylinder! I'm really, really dissappointed that so few are using this type, because it was positively awesome on a Sony-Ericsson I used to have in Japan.
To be precise: the wheel was a cylinder right where the 4-way keys usually are (clamshell phone), about 1,5cm wide and maybe 8mm in diameter, in a horizontal direction. You could roll it and click it just like a mouse wheel, and had two extra buttons on either side for left-right clicking. It also had just the right feel, not too tight, but not too loose either, so you wouldn't accidentally misclick like you do with some cheap mice. Scrolling along lists was never easier.
Or, if you have made a better free translator, then you haven't publicized it well enough, because I've never heard of it.
Google is the most blindingly obvious other general translator, but there are many other ones for specific languages, that work a million times better.

Double-knobs are harder to control temperature-wise. It doesn't remember the last temperature setting, so you need to tweak it every time.

Braking by wire? Would that be as in a physically disconnected brake pedal? That doesn't sound very sane, or useful.
Holy smokes, a portable KDE? I must've missed a meeting, how does that work? Can I replace the windows shell with it? (explorer.exe)
*)Though obviously not if surrounding traffic is going 30kmh over the limit. Then you should get the hell out from that madhouse.

You'll be singing a different tune when someone smashes into your car.

No, the user will have the option to follow either version. Nobody is being forced into anything.

Just think for a moment: how long would any animal with only a 3-second memory survive? How long would you survive?

Some shots
I'm sure Microsoft has received a lot of sudden inspiration over the years..

But the kid wasn't lost, he was just checking out the action. If he doesn't realize he's lost, he won't go to the meeting spot. Then what?
