In Sweden you by law have at least five weeks of paid vacation per year. You're guaranteed to be allowed four consecutive weeks in the summer, but other than that it's up to you and your employer to decide when you take the rest of the days

If it increases the risk of cancer it might be infeasible for species with a long generation cycle. With a short generation cycle the cancers might not kill off too many individuals before they regenerate?

If you're only logging the info provided in the GET request you only have less than 20 "bits of identifying information". They also use some Javascript to collect additional information, which increases the available information quite a bit

Then why not just have a global speed limit? (Or no limit, for that matter) It seems obvious to me that different speed limits are indicators of road conditions, and that it should be safe to travel at that speed in a normal car in normal w

They have created 11,000,000 kilowatts so far. Are they saying that they've generated 11GWh, or that they've produced cells that continuously generate 11GW?

because people feel they have to stick close to the limit even where it's not a smart thing to do. If it's unsafe to drive at an allowed speed, then it obviously needs to be lowered. Even if unlimited speeds were to be allowed, it would s

If someone wants to say something about something you've written, they can say it on their own blog or on Twitter. That sounds like an idea for yet another Twitter app: make a widget that displays a Twitter search for a blog post specific

You'd still need to re-implement a significant part of each and every Flash app/game. Many of them would require a totally new UI and interaction model.

That depends on how much power the rest of the system uses. If the CPU is a small enough part of total system power, using four cores to cut time in half might be worth it.

The best use of the "per 100g" version is that you can compare different brands of the same kind of food. If you're buying breakfast cereal the interesting question is which cereal suits you best, not if it contains more energy per 100g tha
