You might as well blindfold the drivers in the convoy, because at 50mph their reaction time works out to at least twice the 6 meter interval between cars.
Long story short, there is fuckall they could have done if something went wrong.

In Korea, only old people are very judgemental

I've a suspicion that some of those aren't independent variables. It would be interesting to know how they connect, because then instead of having to get depressed, you'd know why the rest of government was so flawed on such a consistent basis and what was actually needed in the way of reform. Discovery is only depressing if you never do anything with it.

You pay twice. You pay the interest on the loan AND you pay for being in a higher tax bracket. On top of that, since there's two groups collecting these taxes, you're paying double the overhead.

The correct thing would be to determine how much the educational system alters the economy, adjust the higher tax brackets accordingly, abolish loans and re-establish the grant system. You'd end up paying less (since you pay for fewer staff to collect the money), the system becomes simpler (one point of collection, not two) and universities no longer inflate prices to give the illusion of being better (which is a perverse consequence of supply-side economics) but rather would need to charge according to impact.

Constitutionally, the monarch is strictly forbidden from talking about policy in public. The government is legally entitled to kick the monarch out of office for such an offense and has attempted to extend that to Prince Charles any number of times. The monarch also has no right to vote and no right to own personal property (they merely have the right to use the property held in trust for the monarchy), so they definitely have fewer rights.

Yes, Labour changed the holiday, which shows you just how much advance notice Microsoft had and thus the viscosity of the molasses they call management.

Hell, anything at all that is data-driven can be updated at the spur of the moment. In this particular case, though, Microsoft has been forewarned since planning for the jubilee started - which would have been a number of years ago, these things aren't quick to organize - particularly in Britain. In turn, that tells you about the latency in the administration of Microsoft.

Well, yes, but debugging Windows isn't everyone's cup of tea.

No it wouldn't, as most of that data is kept outside of the genome itself.

Uhhh, not true. Genes change, due to retrotranspons moving genes around and retroviruses (there's a lot of them) adding new genes to your DNA. It is now known through sequencing that every brain cell in your brain has a unique genome, for example. Your genome is also radically altered throughout your time as a zygote, it turns out. There comes a time when the DNA stabilizes, but for a while it is prone to all kinds of mutations.

Any human that was not born as a twin likely carries at least two significantly different genomes from the very start. It turns out that humans produce far more twins than expected, but that one of the twins is then fully absorbed into the other - usually as an organ - very early on. When this process starts late or is incomplete, you get "siamese twins".

I am Rassilon! Besides, if prior art isn't a problem for patents.... :)
