They're that family that had a Gunfight at the OK Corral. There was Wyatt ERP, Virgil ERP and Morgan ERP....

In the UK there is still no private copying exemption from the Digital Economy Act and other related copyright law, despite recommendations to do so.

One would hope that the UK government, having little else to do in its final year of office, would sort this out. Instead, they'd rather get tough on migrants and the causes of migrants....

What did Apache expect when their code was written by Cowboys?

Why aren't aircraft covered in them? 10% is a big difference in the aviation industry.

The claimed 0-60 time for a Tesla S is 4.2 seconds, which compares better or at least favourably with many supercars. The Roadster was even better at 3.7 seconds.
Max speed is electronically limited at around 125/130mph,

Similar the apocryphal Bill Gates quote, I could say that no one would want to go faster, but having experienced 165mph on roads, I know different....

I refer you to the answer I gave earlier

I second that "best money I ever spent" (well there was this night in a Hilton Hotel that came close...) opinion. I was -10.25/-9.75 and spent lots of money on high quality glass lenses and contact lenses, both of which I hated.

Unfortunately my halo effect (in low light conditions) has never disappeared, but that's a minor inconvenience.

I needed some artificial tear solution occasionally for about a year afterward, but compared to the agravation of contact lens solutions and the area of irritated skin on my nose caused by glasses this was a minor inconvenience. I can read and focus on distant objects more than 15 years after the operation.

I had mine done around 2000, and at -10.25/-9.75 was on the limits of what could be achieved back then. The cost did mean I didn't have to wear glasses, so represented good value for money. My eyes do have a faint ghost image in low light conditions, which means whilst I can drive at night, I do have to make sure I'm alert. As I'm now 50, I'm investigating whether I can have a second minor correction.

Some avian packets will be flash fried.

Engineering is the application of science to the real world. Colliders had already been built before, so it was not a scientific task to build/research a new one. There were undoubtedly a few problems to be overcome, but they were not really scientific ones.

Of course once it had been built, it was science to find the Higgs and other particles by firing it up and seeing what happened.

Similarly, the Manhatten Project was again largely engineering; they largely knew an atomic bomb was theoretically possible. The main problem was to work out how to build a bomb such that a reasonable bang would occur with a robustly engineered device. i.e. that the energy budget would not be lost in the tolerances that they were capable of at the time.

A million pigeons cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Yes.

This just goes to show how obesity has become a real problem for the American military.

The first thing that came to mind was bubble-wrap.
