I live in Switzerland and I can tell you the real reason for this. If you're waiting at a red light you are actually supposed to turn off the motor in order to avoid burning useless fuel (it's your money, of course, but the (clean) air is everybody's, and the noise isn't nice either). When the yellow turns on then you can not start (the red's on, too, remember). But you have time to turn on your motor. Especially when you're not the first in line then the time's really enough to start in time.
Right, and raising the voltage on DC is much more difficult than on AC. That's one of the reasons why our current AC grid is much a better idea than a DC one would be.
Hey, this was rated as "Flamebait". Way off. It is "Interesting" if not "Insightful". Spending time with the kids is not important, it's essential. In any respect, not only to know if they are viewing Teletubbies or Playboy on the net.
I once asked a friend "Do you sing songs with your kids?" He answered: "No. I can't sing. But I'm there when they sing." The point here is having or not having a relationship with the children.
(While I say that I think back to my own young days. My father really could not sing at all. He sang anyway. We found it great.)

Strange that nobody had this simple explanation: Beagle looked for water, didn't it? And what if it indeed did find water, and just drowned?
That would be a huge success, wouldn't it? Well, unfortunately there are no Journalists to tell us this...
Cowards.
Edison? Wasn't that Tesla who found this? And Edison was against it? Don't remember...

I always thought that PHP is perl harbor...
Oh, did they include "improbability" also? Or do you have to express it as (1-"probabilty") in the whole code? What a mess...
