And no funky UI changes that keep tweaking the way stuff acts.
Funny, because that's exactly why I ditched Chrome and went back to FF. They changed and removed functionality several times in the year I used it exclusively. And extensions couldn't access the relevant data to replace the lost functionality. Finally grew tired of this and the lack of cache settings, and I've been using FF again since.
And what would you do, then? It's not like it can magically decide which of the two companies you want to see when you input the URL.
I'd do what Wikipedia does, turn it into a disambiguation page, listing all relevant pages.
And yet Steam has that USD=Euro conversion
This is entirely up to the publisher.
For example most, if not all, games from Codemaster uses a reasonable conversion. F1 2011 costs $37.50 or 29.90 euro, depending on if you're in the US or EU. Ok so it's not perfect but it's at least reasonably close.
I saw the episode when it first aired. He said "[we wanted to do some more shots] but look what happened" in the VO that showed the car being pushed into the garage by hand
I saw the episode when it originally aired as well, and I quite distinctly recall mentioning to my buddy that it was silly to estimate the range by the usage on a race track, since nobody would, or should, drive like that on public roads.
I think you're mixing it up with the part that comes a bit later, where he says
And it appears you don't get much in the way of reliability either.
[Shot of Tesla driving slowly along track] Oh I don't believe this, the motor's overheating and I got reduced power.
[Exterior shot] While it cooled down we went to get the silver car out again.
[Shot of silver Tesla in garage with doors open] Only to find that while it was being charged it's breaks had broken. So then, with the lights fading, we had no cars at all.
I haven't followed the case closely, I have no idea how this specific segment holds up.
He also said some downright false things, for example that it had run totally flat and had to be pushed back into the garage by the crew to be recharged [...]
He said no such thing, at least in the episode I watched. What he did say was
This car then really was shaping up to be something wonderful. But then... [cuts to shot of the Tesla losing power followed by the car being pushed into the garage] Although Tesla says it does 200 miles, we worked out that it would run out after just 55 miles.
Emphasis and errors are mine.
So yeah, the images were overly dramatic which makes the whole thing seem bigger than it is, but that's not really that uncommon in the news world now is it.

I'm thinking that wouldn't be such a bad thing...
Sure it could keep us from making stupid mistakes, but it could also lead to abuse of the system.

However, there is one thing I am confused about with the muon: it can decay??
I thought fundamental particles are the smallest that small can get, as in, you can't get anything from "splitting" it, there is no substructure within?
Yes, the muon decays. Just because it's a "fundamental" particle doesn't protect it from E = mc^2, so to speak. Since the muon is a heavier version of the electron, it is also more energetic, and thus the tendency is for it to decay to the less massive/energetic electron.
I can't imagine that you're going to be making the most of the hardware somehow.
Depends on what you do with it. Consider this article about PCI-Express scaling on a 5780... A lot of games get 75% FPS or above using only a 1x PCIe port compared to a 16x. Keep in mind that the 5870 is a high-end card, and the 520 is a low end, so I don't think the performance hit will be that bad.
Which would be why you should teach algebra, not math.
Where I come from, algebra is considered part of math.
