If you are interested in cross-platform UIs, you might have a look at XUL and XULRunner. You can drive them using at least C/C++, Java, Python, Ruby or Perl.
Yes, but since this ramp is not meant to be uncomfortable when driving over, you would not be inclined to slow down, which is the intent of a speed bump.
Therefore, installing such a device in front of a speed bump would indeed be useful, but not replacing the speed bump by this. Except you design an uncomfortable speed bump with such a ramp installed on top of it.
Although it's useful in places where you have to slow down (e.g. BEFORE a speed bump), but it's not a replacement for speed bumps themselves. Speed bumps are used to make driving over them at higher speeds uncomfortable, so you have to slow down before them, but speed bumps themselves are not meant as a physical braking device. I don't know how you drive, but I brake in front of the bump, and not let my car be slowed down by the ramp itself.
That's the crux of the discussion: you think he's trying to make a point, and I think he meant what he said. A literal interpretation would support my position. I don't see any evidence to support yours, but I'm willing to consider your reasoning if you'd detail it.
Well, Linus does not gain anything if he would force other people to move to KDE. He may be telling other people to use KDE instead of Gnome, but this is not the same as forcing somebody to use KDE. It's simply an expression of his opinion, namely that Gnome got too much tailored toward users which don't want to spend time customising the DE to their personal needs, but instead use the given defaults.
Just because Linus says publicly that he dislikes Gnome and advises others to use KDE, nobody will make the switch. Linus knows that, and everyone else knows that. Even more, he does not want anyone to switch, because this does not provide him any personal advantage whatsoever. But saying so is a way of expressing criticism and reincforcing his opinion.
The utmost which could happen is that some people will reconsider using KDE (out of the reasoning that, if Linus says so, it can't be too bad), having refused so until today out of various reasons. But they are not going to jump ship like vanes.
Linus doesn't give a fsck if other users use KDE or Gnome. He said "switch to KDE" to make it clear to Gnome developers that Gnome got useless to him, and to reinforce this point, he hyperbolised his opinion by that very sentence.
This is an old trick from Rhetorics 101. He does not really care what others use.
No, he did not want to switch users to KDE. His sentence was solely of rhetoric nature, to show Gnome developers how useless Gnome got during the last releases. Instead of shutting down Gnome, he'd like the development path to take a turn, toward a more configurable desktop.
Because * *Beatles-Beatles is a link-farmer and uses the high page rank of slashdot to increase the page rank of the links he's farming on his website.
Looks like ScuttleMoney^H^Hkey still doesn't get. Interesting thing is, ScittleMonkey seems to use some standard template for * *Beatles-Beatles submissions, since ALL of them start by: "* * Beatles-Beatles writes to tell us...".
Our reciprocal links page. These links are useful for website promotion, link trades, and generating traffic to your site. There are many sites with useful products, services, programs, business opportunities, information, and free stuff.

Looking at the link list (just a small excerpt):

Well, you could e.g. in Firefox do File -> Save Page As..., choose format "Web Page, complete", and save it to your disk. Then copy & paste that content to OOWriter, and the media links will point to files local to your computer.
Well, TFA claims that the space for "Erik's Diner" for example in iTunes was permanently taken by the second feed (which went defunct), and it wasn't easily possible for him to get the correct feed into the system. Further more, as the secondary stream was taken down, people were under the impression that this particular podcast was discontinued, and therefore there was no cause for looking for "another source" of that podcast.
What I do know is that Postscript files retain hyperlinks. But as it would be a converter linked to printer output, all the information might already be stripped away because, heck, what should a printer do with hyperlinks.
So, what should basically be done is to deliver a document to a printer framework like e.g. CUPS carrying as much information and meta-information as possible. On the other hand, this would require a quite flexible intermediate format, because you never know what else apart from PDF converters and normal printers you would like to connect to the framework in the future.
Hmmmm. I use OOo version 2.0 as well. You may alternatively try Insert -> Object -> Video... . In Tools -> Options..., have you activated the "Show inactive menu items" under OpenOffice.org - View? Maybe it isn't enabled somehow in your build.

So, if I may ask, since when exactly is Emacs considered crap? Since when is gcc not up to the task?
Better have some answers before calling ME a troll!

I hope this made my views a bit clearer.
Because it was a rhetoric trick. Full stop.
Because that's the essence of reading: identifying sarcasm, irony, rhetorics, etc.

So, let me repost some earlier post of mine:
Ok, let's have a look at his george-harrison.info website. Aha, maybe the links at the bottom of the page? Yes, I see: http://george-harrison.info/reciprocal-links.html.
Sooo, what may be on that page? Quoting:
