I don't have the numbers (thanks to anyone who knows where they are), but I would guess that far more people are injured than killed, and far more money is spent on their medical care. For a severely injured person brought to an ER, they could blow past $27k in hours if not minutes. There would also be the costs of long term care, which could dwarf the initial medical costs.
So, from now on all cell phones in NY are free, not sold or leased, and are not subject to the law as worded.
Of course, cell phone plans will go up to $100 per month/line, but you can get a small discount by selecting a formerly expensive phone, or a larger discount by selecting a formerly cheap phone. Oh, and don't forget more heinous early termination fees...
Maybe it's not actually grease dumping they're watching out for. This is in Seattle, it could be large amounts of used coffee grounds clogging up the sewers.
Maybe they didn't actually do an autopsy and just billed a bunch of hours, then denied the request hoping it would go away, and now they're scrambling to whip up something that looks real?
Mark my words, this never would have happened if Reagan were still president,...
Don't worry, President Trump will build a fence to keep these elements (and the poor metals) out of the U.S.A. on his first day in office. And he'll have the Actinides pay for it!
Which is a great theory, but the reality is that if the speed limit is set very low on a road for no apparent reason then a lot of drivers won't respect it,
Actually the reason is quite obvious. The speed limit is set unreasonably low so the police can pull over anybody they want for speeding. This might be to generate revenue (i.e. a speedtrap), or as a pretext to search the car for other more serious violations (i.e. drugs, cash, whatever). Since they can't legally just stop a car for 'looking suspicious' they just pull them over for speeding since they (and everybody else) are speeding.
How about current customers are given alternate methods to connect. Anyone using the released information from an IP address not previously used is forwarded to that infamous goat-site, and their IP address recorded. If that IP address can later be linked to an identity (i.e. e-mail) that person is auto-subscribed to an array of camel-porn mailing lists (unless they're already on them, in which case they're unsubscribed). Not perfect, but it might have some effect.
It was not immediately clear who destroyed the main electric pylons on Friday and Sunday...
Maybe they were using networking over power lines, and somebody (evil hacker!) arranged a DDOS such that all of the packets arrived at that pylon at the same time, causing that pylon to explode?
Did anyone else have the image of the phrase "You Must Construct Additional Pylons!" (or the local equivalent) being repeated over and over all over Crimea after this happened?
They have to populate all those new "islands" they're building in the middle of the ocean, otherwise they may not have a believable claim on them. Can't have them going around making unsubstantiated claims about them now, can we?
"People are warned to keep a safe distance from the airship and tether as contact with them may present significant danger."
RTFA. The airship was at 16000 feet altitude. It's very dangerous to be at that altitude unless you have an airplane, parachute, or other safety device. To be safe, people should keep about 14000 - 15600* feet away.
(* ground elevation in this area varies from around 400 - 2000 feet, iirc)
This webserver is in Chinese territory and always has been! There is no virus on our webserver! This 'Hague' organization has no claim to this webserver! The virus was put on the webserver as a warning to browsers from other counties to stay at least 12 links away! We advise the 'Hague'. side to think twice before action, not to conduct any rash action, and not to create trouble out of nothing!
Might be awkward (for them) should they call you while you're getting your costume ready for Comic-Con, Ren Fest, or some other 'role playing' activity. This of course would mandate that you stay in character for the duration (I'm thinking 'gimp' at minimum).
Double points if anyone flees/quits while you're there.
Triple points if you do anything that makes them want to burn the keyboard and/or chair you used after you leave.
Of course the app got booted off the Apple app store because Apple wants to be the ones to decide when you have analog emissions.
Nice try, but Apple would never approve this app until the release of the iAnus, complete with a proprietary connection to the colon, requiring special toilet paper from your local Mac store, and featuring the latest wireless Browntooth connection to help you schedule emissions.

south korea: a chipmunk christmas remix of Gangnam Style at every border outpost by tomorrow morning.
Might constitute a war crime (torture, superfluous injury, unnecessary suffering), as technically they're still at war.
south korea: pick up a copy of whatever Biebers got out this year while you're at it...
Yeah, definitely a war crime...

The article does not specifically state that the townspeople weren't speaking from inside iron lungs.
They're going to have a problem using their favorite name, since Ford already came out with a Galaxy model.
Personally, I would wait for the Note SUV anyway...
Neither.

Umm, care to buy a Faraday cage? New model, much lighter than the old one. Not for those sensitive to lanolin.
A metal Faraday cage would be very heavy. You could probably sell these people one made of wool. Tell them the sheep wore magnetic copper bracelets.
I don't usually troll, but when I do all of my posts will end with: SPEED LIMIT 85 MPH
(When in Brazil I will translate to Portuguese/Metric.)

Lie detectors are like homeopathy for law enforcement. They'll keep pushing their magic sugar pills hoping people will believe in them enough to work.
Is this stuff that matters to geeks?
Yes, but only to the extent that if the crocodiles don't work out as well as planned we hope that they will be fitted with lasers.

Not to worry, the warranty on these 'Made in China' island expires in three months, after which the islands will collapse back into the sea.
Inevitable Chinese government response:

Quad points if it's while you're still there.
Label them in large letters 'BACKUPS', and then in small letters underneath 'always make backups!'.
No, that was when Putin was trying to take control of Snapchat.
