That's a bad way of doing things, not eating all day slows your metabolism, during the day your body will break down your muscle mass to feed itself. Then when you eat in the evening it will all be converted to fat.
Batteries are big, run out quickly and take hours to charge up. Solar panels are inefficient and expensive. Electricity storage technology isn't very mature.
I don't know.. maybe because they sell a whole bunch of vehicles that are not hybrids and they don't want to kill their entire product line by selling something that obsoletes it.
Yeah, that's why car manufacturers never make new models, they don't want to obsolete their old ones...
Face it, hybrid cars are expensive and impractical. They take too long to charge up, and they don't last long enough. For people without garages/driveways, there is no way to charge them up either.
No misunderstand the program. It isn't end-consumers who pay the $0.42/KWh, its the Province of Ontario
Paid for by the tax-payers. So frugal users who keep their electricity usage down are subsidising the bills of wasteful people who leave all their lights on 24/7.
A better way to encourage renewable energy sources would be a tax on electricity based on its environmental damage. If would make renewable energy more viable and force people into using less electricity. But this wouldn't involve as many opportunities for back-handers.
As the article says, a far simpler solution to the badwidth issues of freeview would be to ditch the huge number of junk channels and use the bandwidth to provide a HD signal for the ones that people actually watch.
And who decides what the 'junk' channels are? Not everyone wants to watch mainstream reality-TV and soaps. If I was watching some obscure sci-fi programme or documentary I wouldn't want it cancelled so they could show Washed-Up Celebrities Dancing and Singing Badly on Ice in HD.
Those stats are for just fatalities. Most car accidents don't end in death. There are many near missed caused by mobile phones that wouldn't have happened otherwise, maybe you don't think this is a bad thing.
And people can drive safely when drunk, experienced drunk drivers are especially slow and careful so they don't get stopped.
Why don't you tell us what these 'X's are. How much are other CEOs earning compared to Steve Jobs? What makes you think they all get the same amount of options?
Or blame Dr/Lawyer workers who think that their service is such a rare, special skill that they're more important than plumbers or car mechanics.
They are, that's why they get paid more.
Like it or not, good IT people are as hard to find as a good Dr or Lawyer. Likewise, a good IT person has often worked long, long hours at crap pay to do jobs that the majority of people in the country can't do.
If they were that good, and that rare, they'd be able to charge much more for their services. If you think you're being paid below your worth, but you're unable to get a higher paying job, then you're simply not as good as you think you are.
dont blame education blame multi-millionaire executives (and shareholders who pay their wages) who think their workers are worth less than the person that paints their house or fixes their car, why would anybody bother ?
Or blame IT workers who think that computer programming is such a rare, special skill that they're more important than plumbers or car mechanics.
Sometimes there are advantages in living in a country with voter apathy. In the last General Election I didn't have to queue at all before spoiling my paper.
The more powerful the computer, the more you can do. I can remember a time when it took minutes just to open a simple word processor or web browser. Now if it takes two seconds I get impatient.
Or would you rather go back to the days of 100Mhz processors?
But at the end of the day, the tunnel is financially viable by itself, the only problems were the funding. If this Alaskan tunnel has the money behind it, there's no reason it can't be a success. Especially as it doesn't have as much competition as the channel tunnel.

No, the body uses up muscle more readily it uses fat, especially with inactivity.

Why do they need concrete barriers? What's wrong with normal metal rails?
Won't kids dread having to dance in front of the rest of the class?

This is a very simple concept, I don't see why you can't understand it.
If he's getting those six-figures in stock rather than cash then he's not being paid less.
So if a politician is elected, he should be able to go round and shoot his constituents? The EU isn't even elected.

If your 1 and 4 were only measured accurate to 1sf, then yes.
You're joking right? Most speed limits are set nationally anyway, and the government is controller by car-hating lefties.
Why? The speed limits are stupidly low. You have a duty to break stupid laws. If the speed limit was 5mph, would you follow it?

It'd only take you forty minutes, not long enough to get bored.
