It's probably all down to the user-befuddling issue of charsets (also known as character sets, character codes, encoding etc.). In this case it's probably the fault of Microsoft and understandably ignorant Microsoft users.
So tell me again which Microsoft program slashdot uses to write these articles?
Hopefully divergent incompatible charsets (even the more modern ISO-8859-15) will die out as the world standardises on ASCII, ISO-8859-1 and Unicode according to their need

Corporate owned McDonalds resturants are cleaned to a degree that you won't find in any other food-service establishment.
McDonalds is *built* on that. In the era of the greasy spoons, mothers knew that they would find clean restrooms at McDonalds, and asked fathers to stop there.
A couple (few?) years ago Union 76 (or Unocal, or whatever they're called now) ran a massive clean bathrooms advertising campaign.
The OP was suggesting pulling people over based on signs that would not be exhibted by someone with the level of impairment the study suggests is present.

I tried an A&W hamburger with my daughter a couple of weekends ago. My conclusion is that they exist by secret support by McDonalds, who wants to avoid the stigma of the dullest and most flavorless burger on the market.
And in front of me at the drive in window was a Domino delivery car. Now, I knew their pizza was horrible, having learned that jaw muscles could feel pain last time I ate it over fifteen years ago. But so bad that he would buy a meal at A&W? Wow.

I am a lawyer, but this is not legal advice. If you get legal advice on the web, you're not fit to drive with or without a cellphone.
The phrasing of the results suggested that the impairment is only slightly more than a.08 BAL.
While I was handling DUI cases, the BAL was.10. Very few of the people that were near that level were initially pulled over for the DUI, but instead for other offenses--the intoxication is noted due to attitude, slow response, fumbling for the registration, and the like.
The weavers that are pulled over for DUI are in the.20 range, suggesting that the officers wouldn't have the cues to pull these folks over in the first place.
It's also hard to sell a machine to businesses when part of standard maintenance on it was to lift it two inches from the desk and drop it--especially when that suggestion came from the manufacturor (it caused the RAM chips to reseat).

And as for all of the other bits and pieces, rather than putting in several other posts:
1) There are several conflicting explanations as to whether or how to do this in C. They're all related to various useful functions; I'm not knocking them. However, Fortran just does it.

Keeping the test in two places would have meant adjusting both while testing and solving the problem, while the function would have added overhead (it was at the bottom level of a loop at the core of the algorithm).

Actually, it's very possible that they are using the word "likely" to refer to the probabilistic nature of the data they have.
I'd go so far as to say that that's likely what they did.

In some states (e.g., Iowa), there is a restricted license available that only allows the driver to operate at 35 and below.

That's 35MPH, not 35F (though it would only make a difference a couple of months a year
