Comment Is there spot market pricing in UK? (Score 1) 151

Around one third to half of all housholds in Finland purchase their electricity with pricing tied to spot market prices, and this may be most of the consumer electricity usage. This has been available for more than a decade. So there is clear and easy incentive to shift loads here. Are there similar products available in UK?

Difference between police officers and members of the public in shooting situations is that officers are required to take action and actively seek solution to the threat to other people. Non officers only have to consider protecting themselves, and they must not actively go after bad guys. It is far easier, as it is easy to identify if someone is trying to shoot you, even with zero training.

This is why we have never seen friendly fire from CCW carriers.

Yes for intercal. But COME FROM was a later addition, so it may not be accepted by purists. Very useful statement though. Any additions to INTERCAL are useful, as there is not much useful in it.

America's Army Games Cost $33 Million Over 10 Years 192

Responding to a Freedom Of Information Act request, the US government has revealed the operating costs of the America's Army game series over the past decade. The total bill comes to $32.8 million, with yearly costs varying from $1.3 million to $5.6 million. "While operating America's Army 3 does involve ongoing expenses, paying the game's original development team isn't one of them. Days after the game launched in June, representatives with the Army confirmed that ties were severed with the Emeryville, California-based team behind the project, and future development efforts were being consolidated at the America's Army program office at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. A decade after its initial foray into the world of gaming, the Army doesn't appear to be withdrawing from the industry anytime soon. In denying other aspects of the FOIA request, the Army stated 'disclosure of this information is likely to cause substantial harm to the Department of the Army's competitive position in the gaming industry.'"
