This is technically correct, but the Crown Prosecution Service would ordinarily consider the victims wishes when making the decision to pursue charges. The significant publicity of this case changes the landscape of course.

It seems that he just missed the designated landing area by dropping a few seconds later than his troop.

Not so in the UK

I'm surprised Tesla hasn't just unlocked the software limit on the few 40kWh cars out there - it'd be good (and likely nearly free) PR for them...

I think you mean Tesla...

I'm pretty sure NYC will have put a warrant out for him - in this day and age, aren't those warrants enforced by all states in the union? (I'm Canadian, so I defer to someone with better knowledge of the US legal and penal system)

For a Canadian, being barred from the US is a serious pain-in-the-ass. Remember that 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the Canada/US border. Flying internationally can be difficult and/or costly, since many routes have stopovers in US cities. Also, many well-paying Canadian jobs require travel to the US for…

Another reason this won't work anymore - Canada and the US agreed to track not only entry but also exit at their shared borders and make this information available to both countries' law enforcement. In the past, you could have some story about having a Canadian car temporarily in the US, but soon that will be…

I won't suggest a brand, but discovering silicone lube a few years ago was an epiphany - anal sex stopped being a 'meh' and started being a 'yay!' for her... she really enjoys it now.

The use of this railgun for anti-aircraft use brings up a secondary concern for targeting: the backdrop behind the target where the massive slug will eventually land.. hitting an aircraft certainly wouldn't impede the projectile too much (hundreds of pounds travelling at multi-mach speeds)...

But that's exactly my point - Tesla shouldn't be in that game (voice recognition server farms) but rather leverage the smartphone's existing infrastructure around voice by partnering closely with the mobile OS companies. You send your voice command via handsfree to your phone where it gets transcribed (as you point…

They're likely smaller than other 5000lb cars, but the regen creates some resistance as well, aiding braking.

I know I'm not the first to say this, but in this area Tesla should partner with both Apple and Google to add value. As you point out, smartphones seem to have figured out voice control pretty well and they also house a collection of apps tailored to each user's tastes and needs.

I have no interest in offending anyone, but Travis Smiley himself tried to cool the outrage by tweeting: "Those who saw Benedict Cumberbatch on @PBS, know he feels persons of color are underrepresented in #Hollywood."

If you're close enough to throw a jersey on the ice, you're paying a hell of a lot more than $110 a seat!

I agree, and I think that's my point. Someone in Sony has designed the system to say 'I'm ok with a couple of days lost to a DDoS attack if it only costs me $XXXX in lost revenue'

They've figured (correctly I'd guess) that the public has come to tolerate this kind of outage and won't penalize them for it.

I agree to a point - there certainly are platforms and methods that can mitigate even the most ardent of DDOS attacks - the question any business has with these technologies is the cost/benefit of employing them. Sony likely could have spent more to make PSN more robust, but it would have reduced their profitability.

I just read the story on the CBC and there seems to be some discrepancies in the CBC's reporting to how the accident scene is described above - this passage especially:

Sorry - meant to say 'why would the show's premise require that they buy/sell in each country?'
