Erm, except for the thousands of people who do work every night, maintaining the >100 year old lines. The NY subway can run all night because it has redundant lines for slow/fast trains, so there's no need to close the whole line for repairs.

No, you shouldn't have said that. "Allot" means to distribute or apportion. What you should have said in your first post was: "we should know much more then we do today."
No, you shouldn't have said that either. You should have said "we should know a lot more than we do todday."
You've obviously never been anywhere else in the UK. London's bus fares are very cheap, and saying the routes are 1/4 the length is just FUD - even if you do have to get 4 buses, it won't cost 4x as much, since a daily fare is capped at £3 (i.e. once you've made 3 journeys you don't pay any more that day). If I want the same here in Oxford it would cost me well over £10 ($20)....oh, and why exactly would you *expect* having a complicated mess of privatised companies to be any cheaper than one company which is accountable to the public, not it's shareholders?
Now, if you do something illegal WHILE accessing someones network, then yes you should be held accountable. Surely this is a very good reason for securing your network? IIRC there was a case recently (can't find it just now) which set a precedent in this instance - the WiFi owner was held responsible for illegal activity (by someone piggybacking) on the connection. IANAE, but I imagine it's very hard to trace any activity done over WiFi without the owner's permission, and equally hard for the owner to prove their innocence.
Now why would you assume Microsoft would use the hardware RNG when they have thier own, much better, proprietary RNG available?
After all, they spent so much time perfecting it in Excel 2007!
Actually, a lot of overground routes have third rail electrification - all of the ex-Southern region, i.e. suburban rail south of London and even as far as most of the south coast IIRC (there's a map of rail routes in the UK here, pink=3rd rail, blue=overhead). The presence of a live rail is not such a problem as the GP suggested, since trains will have several pickups, so can easily traverse 10m or more with no 3rd rail, but the low voltage used requires frequent substations and doesn't supply enough power for long distance/high speed routes.
</nitpick>
I would imagine this technology would see more use in buses - after all, surely the cost of power lines is small compared to putting in the tracks for the trams?

Zomg, it's gonna blow!

HTH. HAND.

In other news, 1/3 of the world's population don't have access to clean water and/or enough food. If only they could write about it in their blag.
Ditto for Opera's adblocking, AFAIK.
Huh? I-- I don't know that.
Auuuuuuuugh!
Britain imports around 5% of our electricity from France.
Erm, wouldn't that be the electrostatic force? (Which is itself orders of magnitude weaker than the nuclear forces, IIRC).
How will it harm the car industry? People will still want to buy cars, they may just buy less (middle eastern) oil to put in them.

No, no - they were right the first time. 600 Linux users using 97,600 distros.

Of course, solar panels still have advantages in microgeneration and for portable devices etc.

Dang, I can't remember where I downloaded it to. Oh well, let's try that download again...
