Ahh yes, accordion freeway heading inland for miles. I love it. Will be going to the outer banks this weekend, and look forward to it on the way back.

It does if you can just summon a car with an app, and it is reused for other later trips. Even more so if the trips are shared with 2 or more passengers.

Submission + - Sourceforge staff takes over a user's account and wraps their software installer (arstechnica.com) 11

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday May 28, 2015 @03:45PM

An anonymous reader writes: Sourceforge staff took over the account of the GIMP-for-Windows maintainer claiming it was abandoned and used this opportunity to wrap the installer in crapware. Quoting Ars:

SourceForge, the code repository site owned by Slashdot Media, has apparently seized control of the account hosting GIMP for Windows on the service, according to e-mails and discussions amongst members of the GIMP community—locking out GIMP's lead Windows developer. And now anyone downloading the Windows version of the open source image editing tool from SourceForge gets the software wrapped in an installer replete with advertisements.

Ah yes, demeaning people and calling them peasant garbage to elevate your position. How very "rational" of you.

The only thing compiled here is a smug sense of superiority and possibly entitlement.

Please do not execute with the --verbose argument any more.

This is not what he wants. He does not need to know 'an infinite number of points around the south pole. he other interviews check for mathematical competency and such. The answer, as is proper for any good brainteaser is in the question itself, "earth". Why, because that is your starting point, and you never went UP. It is not a technical answer he wants I'll wager.
