So two questions: 1. What's the penalty for bail-jumping in the UK? 2. Is Sweden's statue of limitations really written such that an accused can avoid trial by hiding for five years? Do statue of limitations in other countries com

I weight too damn much :-), but I'm still a lot lighter than a four-cylinder engine and transmission.

To clarify, I think hybrids are great and electric cars are great. I think it's wasteful to take a hybrid and mostly use it as an electric car. Specifically, in the linked article they are trumpeting increased electric range in the Vol

The worst of both worlds: (1) If you rarely use the gas engine, you are wasting electrical power hauling around a gas engine and gas tank (2) If you often use the gas engine, you are wasting gas hauling around extra-large batteries.

California doesn't burn coal. It's mostly natural gas and some oil. Natural gas is a very efficient fuel in terms of CO2 output.

I'm mystified by a few things in this article. Specifically, why are scrapyards closing? The first thing the article names as a cause is the currently low price of scrap steel. Ok, but then what happens when a ship gets too old to use

California plans to change to "time-of-use" pricing of electricity [1]. How will that affect the savings currently seen by folks who lease from SolarCity and other providers? [1] http://www.usatoday.com/story/

The problem isn't political, it's economic. Water shipped to farmers is sold at very low cost compared to the cost of desalinated water. As far as I know, which isn't much, the only desal plants in California[1][2] are those

Not mentioned is that much of the tap water in the US tastes much worse than it did 30 years ago due to increased standards which require water districts to add more and more cleaning agents to the water. Cleaner tap water leads to greate

Because a site that is willing to host these kinds of ads may use more than one ad service, and Google may not have detected all the bad ad services. The fault here lies squarely with the websites. They choose to work with scum. Let them fi

Intentionally pissing off people is childish. Using the name of this language in a workplace creates a hostile working environment[1]. That guarantees that no sensible person in the English speaking world will ever use the language at work.

IANAL... Within the US, you are only responsible for paying taxes in the jurisdictions you reside in. It's pretty simple to cover those cases and ignore the rest. For example, a business with offices in California and Nevada must colle

The EU Treaty has rules regarding government debt. Greece violated the treaty by running a bigger deficit than permitted. Additionally, the Treaty does not allow for default on debt. The EU courts will require repayment. Your suggestion tha

Fusion and Fission systems tend to run 24/7, unlike Wind and Solar. There is far less need to store energy when using the former types of generation.

Replacing Wasabi code with the prettified output of Wasabi seems like a terrible idea to me. Is the result similar enough to the original source that it will still make sense? Do comments get preserved? Programmers just love to change good

To me, it's as if a Car Manufacturer proudly announced the inclusion of anti-lock brakes on this year's model. It's nice that they're including this safety feature, but it's embarrassingly late compared to others. W

How could any jury listen to those comments and think they were serious and therefore constituted slander? Then there's this from a juror: "we have to give him something, just to make sure that this doesn’t happen again." Tha

While you are correct that you can nuke a normal SSD in a month, you can buy high-endurance drives which will last much longer. For example, you can buy a p400m with 7.5PB of write endurance [1]. It's just a question of making sure you

True, and I've done it! I accidentally used a consumer grade (Crucial M500) in an application where endurance would be reached in less than a month. In fairness to Micron/Crucial, the drives did not lose any data.... but the wri

That's incorrect. Charge leaks very slowly out of cells. It's not a big issue, but it does happen. Powered-on SSD firmware knows about the problem and will maintain the cells. [1] http://www.anandtech.com/show&#x2F
