What if a "sucker" has a more enjoyable life than a cynic? What if this is true even if his passion for his work is exploited for "profit"?

It's always possible that they can't cut the mustard when their errors could kill themselves, instead of other people.
Personally, I prefer to use the bus and catch up my reading when I go into town. Otherwise, I walk to the shops and back.
You are right about the rain that falls on the ocean but I don't see how you're right when the rain falls on the land.
There is a lot more (About 3 times) area of ocean as there is land. And, as pointed out elsewhere, bunker oil is normally not burned until you're well out to sea, for precisely this reason. It's a perfectly good reason. Which is already covered.

I'd vaguely got the idea that these things were about health-Nazi-ism. Thanks for confirming that.

It should be the car that is disabled
That was pretty much my thought too. There should be fewer problems with coupling an app on a phone to a particular car - say by the same sort of link as used in BlueTooth - and if the phone comes out of screen-saver, then the engine drops through the gears, puts on the hazard lights and horn, and then shuts down. Once the phone is back in screen-lock state, then the car's engine can be re-started.
It'd still be vulnerable to a driver who wants to text using a passenger's phone. But that's going to be a comparatively small problem, largely because it requires two idiotic self-centred narcissistic morons to be in the same car at the same time.
May be able to adjust it IF you've got laws allowing use of a hands-free mobile as a speech phone to put that as another engine-allowed state.

Romero is right. Good quality entertaining FPS have been thin on the ground lately.

My copy is still working.

I've forgotten what signature I'm using. Is it still the birds ARE one?
Evidently, yes. Appropriate. I haven't changed it for several years.
It's like asking if Ronald Reagan is more closely related to Emperor Hirohito, Osama bin Laden, Otzi the Iceman, or Barak Obama.
I suppose I should add an Australian Aborigine and an Amerindian to that list, just to even out the range supplied. Let's say Montezuma (he of the Revenge, for the Amerind) and Ernie Dingo (an Australian Aboriginal TV character, according to my Australian colleague).
If more sequences have been published since 2007, then perhaps we could get a better idea of which modern bird T-rex is most closely related to,
On skeletal structure grounds, T.rex has been considered a sister group to all birds since the 1960s or so. On the basis of it's forearm structure, T.rex is a theropod dinosaur, but probably not a maniraptorinan theropod dinosaur. All birds however are considered maniraptorian theropod dinosaurs.
We don't have a good understanding of the initial evolutionary radiation of the birds, between approximately the early Late Jurassic and mid-Late Cretaceous, when we find evidence of the early roots of some modern bird groups such as the ratites. There's no particular reason to think that any modern bird is more closely related to T.rex than any other. There probably is one such, but we don't have (and are very unlikely to ever get) enough evidence to really be sure of the family tree to that degree of accuracy. It's like asking if Ronald Reagan is more closely related to Emperor Hirohito, Osama bin Laden, Otzi the Iceman, or Barak Obama.

I think that you mean dumping it into an active subduction zone. But you'd need to put it several kilometres down into the subduction zone (that's drilling technology ; we sell introductory courses to drilling - about $2000/week excluding your accommodation costs. Or our instructor's accommodation costs if you've got a class of 4 or more.) unless you're willing to underwrite the security of your storage equipment for around 10 million years (to get natural subduction to a similar depth).
