The smart companies will move further south because Detroit is one of the few places in the US where you go south to get to Canada.

And while not every hospital does cancer treatment, a lot of them do, certainly all the bigger ones unless they specialise in something else.

This law says the apps have to be deletable, not that you are not allowed to put them on in the first place. No harm in putting the Apple maps app on there for example, if you can delete it and replace it with the Google Maps one or whichever other one you prefer.

I think it is fair. My claim was that fuel costs about the same per mile/km in Europe as it does in the US, even though per gallon/litre, it costs a lot more.
The majority of cars in Europe are diesel, France for example is 90% diesel, and people who drive more miles tend to choose diesel cars as the additional cost of buying the car is offset by the fuel savings; therefore a very large majority of fuel sales in Europe are for diesel. The choice of diesel is one of the reasons why miles per gallon is much higher in Europe than in the US.

I have copies of my insurance certificates on Dropbox, Google Drive and Sky Drive. They are pretty important, but the NSA will already have a copy of the email the insurer sent to me enclosing them as pdf attachments, and while there is some risk that someone else could use them for a spear phishing attack on me, I figure it is less risk than the risk to me of losing them, and there is a good chance that the circumstances that could cause me to lose them might also be circumstances that cause me to have to make a claim on my insurance.

If I go to Volkswagen US for example, the most fuel efficient car I can find is a Golf with a fuel efficiency of 23mpg in the city, and 30 mpg on the highway - http://www.vw.com/en/models/golf/gallery.html

At Volkswagen UK, the most fuel efficient car I can find is an Up Blue Motion with a fuel efficiency of 56.5 mpg in the city, and 78.5 mpg on the highway - http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/new/up-nf/which-model/engines/overview

Converting the American car to British gallons gives 27.6 mpg city and 36 mpg highway

In the city, the British car is 2.45 x more efficient, and on the highway, the British car is 2.61 x more efficient. Therefore in pence per mile, the British car is slightly cheaper than the American car, even though British petrol is much more expensive.

Petrol costs about £0.54 per litre in the USA vs £1.27 in the UK. Diesel is about £0.61 per litre vs £1.34 in the UK. In both cases just over twice as expensive.

However, per mile, it probably costs about the same in the USA as in Europe as American cars tend to be less fuel efficient. Also, Americans drive more miles as they live in a bigger country and things are more spread out.

Andersen Consulting split off from Arthur Andersen a few years before the Enron scandal.

We have the European Convention of Human Rights - http://conventions.coe.int/treaty/en/Treaties/Html/005.htm
But it doesn't include a right not to incriminate yourself.

Jaywalking isn't a crime in the UK. You can walk pretty much wherever you like, except on motorways, and cars have to get out your way.

Microsoft, Google and Apple all have their European bases in Ireland. Firefox has its European base in the UK, and Opera is based in Norway.

And in any case, such a bill would have to go through the EU parliament, not the Irish one.

Buy halogen bulbs then. They meet the efficiency standards though they are not as efficient as CFL bulbs.

The same way that the police it in Europe. The money is paid using local credit cards, so they can get the money off the bank before it reaches them if needs be.

The MI6 building is outside the congestion charge zone, and always has been. The zone ends on the other side of the bridge in Westminster. All of the roads leading to it on the south side of the bridge are outside the congestion charge zone, and two of the three roads leading to Vauxhall bridge on the north side are outside the zone, so it is very easy to reach the building without entering the zone.

Of course if they want to go spying within the congestion charge zone, they will have to pay the charge, but that is the same regardless of where their offices are located.
