All you have to do is realize that the train from LA travels twice as far as the one from San Francisco (since 50 mph is twice 25 mph). Therefore, they meet 1/3 of the way from San Francisco, which is 133.333333... miles.
This is really funny, because there's an episode in the Dilbert TV show about this. The PHB suggests putting billboards in space and they wind up destroying modern civiliation (think Y2K). Fortunately Dilbert fixes it.
If you also distribute binaries, that is not okay unless you also sell the binaries for a million bucks (according to the FSF). This situation is effectively equivalent to not distributing anything at all.
Yes, what you describe is okay. In that case, probably nobody will buy your software, so you might not want to do that. Remember that the point of the GPL is to allow, not compel, third parties to distribute the software.
There is no requirement in GPL to give source at no charge.
I am a Christian, and I am just horrified that people would assert that fossils etc., were deliberately placed in the Earth by God to test our faith. While God does test Christians, this claim essentially says that God is trying to trick us.
It also demands that we can't trust any evidence we find about anything, because maybe that evidence is a trick too. In the past we didn't have this made up "science vs. religion" conflict.
I'm still not certain about the exact nature of the act of Creation, though I am dubious about the fossil evidence. The essential point is that God created the Universe and created all life on Earth. That's not to say how he did it is unimportant or that we shouldn't discuss such issues, just not as important to the Christian faith. (I might add that "faith" does not imply believing something without any evidence or in the face of contrary evidence).
Uh, no it is 'gigawatts', even in Back to the Future. In fact, my dictionary tells me the pronunciation in that movie is an acceptable way to pronounce the word, so there's no call to make up a new (incorrect) spelling for it.
What silliness. My point was that the standard arithmetic operations do not depend on any base. The base is just a property of the notation used to describe a particular number. If you change the base, you're changing your notation.
Crazy religious fanatics... When will they learn that their 'truth' is only one of the many 'truths' out there.
I'm confused. Are you saying that all different religions are true? They contradict one another, so they can't be. Or are you saying that the multiplicity of beliefs means none of them are really true? Since truth does not depend on what people think, that does not make sense.
Why is it that some people can not accept that there are other beliefs out there? Why do they have to try any discredit anyone that disagrees?
If they are indeed trying to argue, then they are acknowledging that there are other beliefs, which makes your complaint that they do not odd.
In this sense, the GPL is viral. If you use any GPL code -- even a line -- in your program, you must GPL all the code in your program.
This statement isn't totally accurate. Copying a single line of code constitutes fair use, which the GPL has no authority over (since it only licenses, and doesn't restrict). Thus, you can copy a single line of code without being compelled to GPL your work. (And of course virality only applies if you distribute it.)
...is making the help interface an animated paperclip.
What's even more ridiculous is that you can actually choose from among several "Office Assistants", including the infamous paperclip, a bouncy ball, a robot, Shakespeare, and quite a few others. If Microsoft wouldn't spend so much time on useless things like that, they could design better products and fix more bugs. ("Why haven't you fixed the bugs?" "Well, we we updating the bouncy ball animations.")
1) No alt tags - you've used images to number your list, yet no alternative text for blind users (or those with images off), this is a very well established as bad usability
Not only that, but the alt attribute is actually required by the HTML specs for images. The doctype for this page claims HTML 4.0 Transitional but the page fails miserably at living up to that. Not only missing alt, but it tries to use non-existent tags like <csimport> and <noedit>.
The eleventh design flaw is definately "Web pages with horrid broken HTML".

Actually, there have been computer vs. computer competitions for many many years.
Er, J. R. R. Tolkien never published "The Silmarilion". That was edited and published posthumously.

That's the longest sentence fragment I've ever seen.
Well, actually the origin of w00t is not known for sure. Wikipedia gives a number of ideas on where w00t came from.
See the Wikipedia article.

From the very text you quoted: "This system is also known as trinary."
Is the idea we're just brains in jars scientifically falsifiable? I don't think so, anyway.

And how many locations were incorrect? If there is only 1 correct to 1000 incorrect then that is not a very reliable method.
Spelling Nazi...
That sould have been "burned" not "burnt".
And that should have been "should", not "sould". Thanks for playing.

What should be "banned" is people like you who want to tell everybody else how to behave.
So much for free speech.
But the quotation mark is supposed to come before the question mark.
Okay: 1, 11. Satisfied?

Deep Thought never mentioned base 13. Therefore base 10. And arithmetic calculations never depend on the base of your number system.
And what's so good about the health and safety of individuals? Ultimately, these laws are still based on morality.
Actually, the Hobbits' calender did have seven days in a week.
