Even pressing F1 isn't really reasonable
Of course using the provided help isn't reasonable!! Everything should be dead obvious in the interface. Let's call Microsoft and Adobe at once! Let's get those undocumented shortcuts described right there in the UI..</sarcasm>
There is no menu bar in the file open dialog.
No, but every gnome-app has CTRL-L as shortcut to some sort of location-based action. Individual thought is not a crime yet.

In the menu: Go->Location. Pressing F1 before complaining also helps.;-) FYI pressing '/' also brings up the location-bar.
BTW, CTRL-L is also default shortcut for the location-bar in Firefox and it opens the "Open"-dialog in Internet Explorer.
P.S. And before y'all think I'm just having a rant one thing I forgot to mention is how excellent the new keyboardable "Find filestore objects by pressing keys" function is in Nautilus.
The fact it was missing in previous releases was a real usability problem. This new feature, where you can type the letters of a directory/file and the focus will move to the object "whose name starts with the letters you've just typed" is a truly splendid thing.
This is not new in 2.16. My FC5 with Gnome 2.14 already does this.
I'm really tired of people equating PHP with bad programming and amateurish developers. PHP is a language as is Ruby, Python and Visual Basic for that matter. They're tools, nothing more.
Whether or not YOU choose to employ good coding practises or not when you code in PHP that's up to you. I'm sure there's bad Ruby and Python coders out there too. Granted, PHP may encourage inexperienced developers to take the easier, less maintainable way. But it doesn't mean that that's what happens every time.
Don't bash the developer for the language they're using. Just because you seem to become a worse developer because of it doesn't have to mean that it happens to the rest of us.
A lot of the science about twins known and used today was performed by none other than Dr. Mengele. Should we refrain from using that knowledge - because it most likely was obtained in horrific ways - to honor his victims or should we use that knowledge as best we can to honor his victims and ensure they didn't suffer in vain?
Do cars with ABS stop more quickly than cars without? ABS is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle during emergency braking situations, not make the car stop more quickly. ABS may shorten stopping distances on wet or slippery roads and many systems will shorten stopping distances on dry roads. On very soft surfaces, such as loose gravel or unpacked snow, an ABS system may actually lengthen stopping distances. In wet or slippery conditions, you should still make sure you drive carefully, always keep a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of you, and maintain a speed consistent with the road conditions.
I was thinking in "general" driving conditions. I very rarely drive on loose gravel or unpacked snow. When I do my speed is such that my stopping distance is very short anyway. YMMV.
Assuming that ABS does shorten stopping distance and driving thereafter is an accident waiting to happen. But to go so long as to shut it off because "I know how to brake better" - except in extreme conditions as the ones mentioned - is worse. And I think that was the OP's intention.
ABS does shorten stopping distances on wet or snow covered roads, but if the road is dry, the stop time will be much shorter if the wheels lock and you skid.
ABS is not designed to make the car stop faster. ABS is designed to enable the driver to maintain maximum control over the car while breaking. ABS Q&A. If you skid you don't steer. Though I don't think ABS makes the stopping distance longer so I don't see the need for your proposed kill-switch. Please don't use it if driving behind me..
Also take into consideration that the development of ABS just might have improved it in the last 13 years..
I would take my 2005 Skodas ABS, EDS and ESP Electronic Stability Programme over unassisted braking anyday.
Denmark has 8 digits for the subscriber. The NANP uses 7.
You have 10 digits per number, right? 3 digit areacode + 7 digit number..?
What happened was that the old areacode got a permanent place in the phonenumber. This should be theoretically doable in the States too.. Unless you somehow have duplicate numbers in the States?
Had you said that you could keep your number if you moved anywhere in the EU that would have been intersting indeed.
You could use VoIP for that.. There are several VoIP providers in DK providing that kind of service. And it is possible to transfer your landline number to these providers. I could then move anywhere in the world and still keep my danish 8 digit phonenumber provided I had internet-access.
It has been like this here in Denmark for a while now with regular landlines. Areacodes are a thing of the past. Now you get a phonenumber and stick to that whereever you live.
The phonecompanies have been building up to this for the past 15 years or more, making areacodes mandatory even then.
A far, far better paradigm is the gestural paradigm. Click, double-click, click-and-drag. For instance, consider drag and drop. Drag and drop is one of the easiest things to learn.
You have obviously never spent even an hour in either frontline support or as an instructor trying to teach "normal" people to double-click. It might seem natural and easy to you but trust me.. Not all people find it easy.

A valid question, but where to draw the line?

Morality is hard..
You're still sitting still, so you'd get it anyway.. Sneaking out early would probably help though.. ;-)
Mind if I use that for my sig..? Thank you.. ;-)
Ehm.. No.. LEGO is from a contraction of the danish "leg godt" meaning "play well". It has nothing whatsoever to do with Greek.
I think we just slashdotted .au ... :-)

The admin of gearlive.com must be wondering if he can use Google Maps to get out of the slashdotting..
I see..
But hey.. What do I know..?
Are they going to go after daim.fr too?
See the foot? The foot says "It's funny. Laugh.". Not "I have no sense of humour. Whine."...
Funniest thing today. Well done, sir! :o)

And drag-and-drop is even worse.
