Yes, if it's safe to assume that a man who already has a mistress wouldn't pay for the site, registering for Ashley Madison is pretty good evidence that a mad did not actually cheat on his wife. There were 39 million men registered, and only perhaps about 12,000 women using the site.

Wouldn't getting 100% of the energy out violate the second law of thermodynamics? I will note that I'm neither a chemist nor a physicist

Mussolini took credit for making the trains run on time. I'm going to hazard a guess that German trains were running on time all along.

Perhaps we need a forum for this.

Maybe we should call it politics.slashdot.org? Seriously, if you want to exclude politics stories, you can do that from Options, but you are presently in the forum you describe.

Did I just read that the government is not bound by the statute of limitations? ..and here I thought the statute of limitations was specifically there to bind the government.

Actually, TFA says the Federal government is not bound by state statutes of limitation. I imagine that's to, say, prevent Texas from setting a 30 second limitations period on federal claims, thereby allowing all federal property within the state to be confiscated.

Apps designed to be used behind the wheel shouldn't be made.

I heard a SF official interviewed about this, and the official position is that the intention is that you would check overall parking availability before you leave wherever it is that you were.

Cairo dates back to the 1st century, so it's not really a contender for the oldest city on the planet. On the other hand, you could try to bridge in the history of Memphis, which was only 12 miles away.

The name "Hamburger" is trademark to McDonalds too, and corresponds to the simplest hamburger sandwich.

Thanks for spreading some FUD. Not that I'm a fan of McDonalds, but they actually have a trademark on the phrase "McDonalds Hamburgers". Note the disclaimer: Applicant disclaims the right to the exclusive use of the word "Hamburgers" apart from the mark as shown..

OK, sure, it's not enough to switch it on. According to FA, you then have to drive past the airport on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Once phones were being switched automatically there was slightly more privacy than when Gladys was connecting Bob to Mary across town, and Gladys just happened to mention it to Bob's wife one day when she ran into her at the market.

If you're going to go back as far as the switchboard, most people would have been using party lines, which pretty much guaranteed that your neighbors were all up in your business.

A man mysteriously appears and jumps into the river to save your child. When he gets out of the water, you recognize him as an escaped convict from the news. Do you tell the authorities?

Inspector Javert says "You betcha," with an outrageous French accent of course.
