Where should you stop for a stop light or stop sign?

  1. One ore more car lengths away from the stop line
  2. At the stop line
  3. At the crosswalk
  4. At the curb
  5. Any of the above

Moliner's Answer:

E. Anywhere you like

A. Someone who stops here is usually an older woman. As if she stopped the car when the hood visually “touched” the stop line.

Conventional Answer

Trick question!

E.It could be any of the above, depending on the markings or situation.

  1. If someone is walking in the road, you should stop.
  2. Most intersections have full markings, so the stop line is the normal place.
  3. If there is no stop line, stop before the marked crosswalk.
  4. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the curb.

For a stop sign, you are supposed to stop at the first marked line. If you don’t have adequate vision due to an obstruction, you pull forward until you can see, and then stop again.

Timer

The timer can count up from a time in the past or count down towards a time in the future.

The timer's appearance and the format of the time (and text) is very configurable. You can hide it's border, it's background, set the color and glow effects.

Sound Recorder

This is a simple recorder that records directly to an MP3 file. Recording can be paused and resumed.

The recording window has a compact mode and can be set to stay on top of other windows, so it can be out of the way, yet still visible.

When done recording, you can playback the recording or upload the file to an FTP site.

RocketDock with multiple bars\docks

Submitted by drew on

It seems there is plenty of interest about how to make RocketDock work with two or more docks or bars. Most answers say to use additional docking programs--one for each dock you want. Or use a commercial program that offers multiple docks. I think RocketDock is excellent except I want more than one. I finally figured out how to do it!
