The US Government sold all of its GM stock.

My TV (2010 Samsung) has the episode guide and schedule of the channels, but the software is glitchy and the UI get really slow the more it's used (until the TV is rebooted).

But illegal handguns were at one time legal.

People thinking about public opinion and their legacy?

But illegal handguns don't magically appear out of thin air...

It's worth noting that not all LEDs provide good light output. I tested a bunch of them that my parents were trying out and some friends, including a few "natural light" varieties, and only a couple of them turned out to be similar to sunlight. Used a homemade spectrometer (chunk of DVD in a box with a webcam) to see the breakdown in light - most have a huge spike in the blue range, the best were nice and even across all the colors.

The alternatives actually work out cheaper because they last longer and save electricity. It's a larger up front investment, but cheaper over a few years.

It's better in that it stays out of the way a bit more - it updates with Windows Update and doesn't require registration.

That's a dubious map - where is the data from? It's not like we have regular IQ tests for citizens. Usually they're based on student test scores.

They have them at home, but carrying them is highly restricted and ammo is well regulated. The Swiss aren't carrying around handguns like in the US.

You wouldn't expect the violent crime to drop off instantly unless they had a large gun recovery program to get them out of the hands of criminals. The guns were already out there. Looking a bit farther than 5 years (there was a large spike in crime 5 years after), the crime rate dropped to a 40 year low.

How do you know it doesn't? The numbers touted for the federal exchange have included it, so this probably does too. But still, it's basically just been finished so people can actually use it. No one would reasonably say Windows 8 only had 40 users in the month of November if they download link was wrong.

But it wasn't for 40 people - the website will still be running for years to come and hundreds of thousands or millions will use it now that it's operational.

Why is Google a "high risk situation"? They've been around for quite a while.

Why bother have them be vehicles? Just plant a trailer full of batteries somewhere. If the power connection to provide the power is good enough to feed the power from the trucks, it should be enough to recharge them slowly overnight. Making them into trucks just changes the distribution from a relatively cheap wire to an expensive machine that causes wear on the roads

The problem with batteries in this case is that they are expensive. They needed 6 cars worth of batteries for the load balancing that saved them less than $5k. Pumped storage is much cheaper - even flywheels would probably provide better capacity for the price at that size.
