But the system should make an exception when it senses that there is someone in the passenger seat.
My previous car dissallowed control of the navigation system while driving, even when there was someone in the passenger seat who was perfectly able to safely control the navigation system. Very frustrating at times.
There is no unit 'degree Celsius'. Just like with Kelvin the official unit is without 'degree'!
Do you have a citation for that? Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius#Name_and_symbol_typesetting] seems to disagree.
I agree that much of this is academic and not relevant in everyday speech. But I think even there you are wrong: according to your previous post the "degree" part is optional, but in everyday speech it's the "Celsius" part that's left out (to which I have no objection whatsoever).
The unit is "Kelvin" or "degrees Celsius". Sometimes people add "degrees" to Kelvin, but that's incorrect and I've only ever heard non-sciency people do that. People often do omit Celsius or Fahrenheit, and I think there's nothing wrong with that when talking about the weather or other everyday temperatures.
You're saying the unit is "Celsius" and you can optionally prefix it with "degrees"? I've never heard it explain that way. Seems very weird.
Perhaps instead you should have contacted their marketing department, and asked them to sponsor your kites for a small sum of money. In return for their money you could promise them to put their logo on your kites.
Just a thought on a lazy sunday evening.
This is not about Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot; it is about having to press Ctrl-Alt-Del in Windows if you want to log in. This was implemented IIRC in Windows NT and Windows 2000, and in Windows XP if it was joined in a domain.
If people google for "java download" they get this page: . On that page there is a big red button called "Free Java Download". That's the most straightforward way to download Java, and it gives you an installer with the toolbar (at least on Windows; I don't know on other platformst).
Not only that: even if you install Java from a non-toolbar installer, the automatic updates (if they even work) use the toolbar-version of the installer AFAIK.
That's why people say there's a toolbar in the Java installer.
Asimov was on a TV show where the host asked him about his earlier prediction that the world would only have five computers. Asimov asked that the question be cut, where the confused newscaster pointed out it was a live show. So Asimov walked out of the interview.
Citation needed.
AFAIK Asimov never said that; it was an IBM executive, IIRC.
What I don't get is that there aren't more people complaining about the syntax for functions like range(), where the lower limit is inclusive, but the upper limit is exclusive. Can anyone explain to me how that makes sense?

As far as I understand Sarah's mail, her reaction was not to that sentence, but to Linus' conclusions:
> So Greg, if you want it all to change, create some _real_ threat: be frank

> You may need to learn to shout at people.
Overall I think I agree with Sarah: it is perfectly possible to be frank and clear without swearing and shouting.
I for one had never heard of it before, I'm afraid.
..., but I really don't think the average person enters enough numbers to even bother using the numeric keypad on a computer - it would be interesting to see a study showing if the typical person even uses it at all).
People do in countries that use AZERTY, because on AZERTY keyboards you have to use shift or caps lock to access the digits in the top row. Much easier to use the numeric keypad.
(note: the "Title track" leads off side 2 rather than 1, which is interesting, but it works).
This happens on many albums. Some time ago I read the reason for that, but I forgot what it was. It's not only on vinyl; even on CD the title track is often around track 6-7.
That's exactly what they did. Sadly unsurprisingly the summary got it wrong. See this picture:

All of that is irrelevant, he was asked by the judge to list all previous cases he'd been involved in and he didn't mention this specific one.
Citation please. Can you show exactly where the judge asks that?
As I said, millimeters is exactly the same as liters per square meter.
That does not compute.
