The reason I ask is that here in the UK the official speed limit on motorways is 70mph, but police can't pull you unless you're doing 10% + 2mph over the limit, so 79mph on a 70mph limit road.
This is not true. The 10% + 2 rule is a discretionary guideline that the police tend to use. In principle they can prosecute at any speed over the speed limit.

Section 9 is the relevant part.
That was an idiot driver in Belgium moving into a lane where he had no visibility.
and judging by the fact that the video was taken from a lorry and the vehicle in front was a lorry and the car wasn't travelling much faster, it is unlikely that anybody was doing much more than 65mph
Objective-C is a preprocessor, not a real language,
From which we can deduce you know very little about Objective-C.
I'd agree with you if it weren't for the fact that measures put in place to combat terrorism have been abused before.
OS X is no more heavily controlled than any Linux in the sense of putting what software you like on it. The only downside to it is that you have to buy your hardware from Apple.
ESA is mainly a French driven organisation. In France, 75% of electricity is generated by nuclear power stations.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good stereotype.
I wouldn't have thought there was enough light that far out even without the shadows.
Could you post your calculations that lead you to that conclusion. Do you think that the engineers who designed the space craft forgot to make the same calculation?
Sure it's an assumption but it's not baseless,
Yes it is unless you did the calculations to show that there is not enough energy out there for the specific solar cells on this craft.
previous deep space probes such as Cassini, pioneer, and voyager are all nuclear powered.
They were all designed to go much further than Rosetta.
147 terrible reviews, I think the £100 charge must be part of their business model.
You can create an interface in C. Just typedef a struct with a bunch of function pointers. People implement the interface by creating an instance of the struct and filling in the function pointers.
It's actually a fairly common pattern. For example there are several described here
You're overthinking it.
I'm heterosexual. I cannot choose to be sexually attracted to other men, I'm just not attracted to them. Whether this is caused by psychological reasons, the chemical environment in my mother's womb, or genetic factors is irrelevant. I cannot choose.
It should be pointed out that the choice thing is really a red herring. If homosexuality were a choice, that would still be no reason to persecute gay people.
Ha! Rather than merely point out that you have confused the names "Columbia" and "Challenger" everybody has decided you needed a new arsehole tearing.
It would be a pain if it were true. Most of the shops in my part of the UK stay open till six and often later.
Perhaps someone else has something to add?
7/ systemd doesn't run on it.
If space planes made it easier to get into orbit, that is the way we'd be doing it now. No space plane has ever put cargo into orbit. Giant fireworks do it routinely (almost).
I know in aviation one of the Wright brothers died during a test flight.
One died of typhoid in 1912 and the other of a heart attack in 1948.
