Comment smokers cost *less* (Score 1) 978

I've seen it mentioned somewhere, though I have no reference to hand so this may be complete BS, that smokers cost health systems (when retirement is included) *less* on average because although they have more heath problems that results in them dying younger and therefore having substantially less cost during old age.

which if true leads to the slightly paradoxical idea that smokers should pay *less* rather than *more* for their healthcare.

Comment Re:TLD for Financial Transactions (Score 2) 259

.uk has TLD for incorporated companies (which in the UK are suchandsuch Ltd, or blahblah Plc - or their equivalents in at least welsh)

Those are .ltd.uk and .plc.uk. You get one domain that matches up with the registered name of your company.

Those domains basically don't get used. For one, they aren't widely known even to exist. For another the "high street" trading name of a company often doesn't match up with the name under which you're trading - (eg subway would get doctorsassociates.inc - *not* subway.inc)
