That's rather oversimplified. Some mutations have good and bad sides - sickle cell anaemia, for example; others will kill after 20 years, by which time you can quite easily have four or five children - moderate forms of Marfan's syndrome, for example.
The EU is dragging us kicking and screaming into the metric system, but we still use Imperial for some things - speed limits, quantities of drink in bars, etc.
I tend to use the person who sent me the file as a converter, but for reading files in cases where that's not possible I use fastpdf.com, which I think scripts Word to do the conversion.
The UK has it: Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003. Since the regs are based on an EC directive, I expect most of the EU will have something similar.
One thing I'll give the British over the U.S. they make their Prime Minister stand up in front of the opposition and take a grilling.
"Grilling" implies that the PM actually had to answer the questions he was asked. I used to watch PMQ every week, and now I generally read the transcript in Hansard, and I don't recall him once giving a straight answer to a question Michael Howard asked him.
I'd find it useful - there are some signs in my home town, particularly on corners, that I never see because I'm looking at the road. I just know they're there and adjust my speed automatically - but when I was learning the local road layout it would have been very helpful to have the car tell me about them.
Central control is a Bad Idea TM - you have a single point of failure. Much more sensible to distribute the workload among the cars - after all, humans drive based on local rather than global information. Of course, you still have the problem that if a computer fails you need to switch to manual control, and the human driver won't be alert if they don't expect to need to be.

India's third world: China's second world.
McDonalds certainly seems to think that Mc constitutes a brand - they sue all kinds of companies named after founders whose name started Mc.
I haven't yet found a bar which won't sell me a pint of lemonade.

"Information theory". If you get too many random pages with that, throw "Shannon" in as well.

Shouldn't that be "If you want alcohol with your caffeine"?
Is mixing a stimulant and a depressant really a good idea?
Of course, being good at CS doesn't necessarily make you a good developer.
You can't see the link between violas and weapons? Clearly you never had a sibling learn to play a stringed instrument.
If you get spam, other people using IE hurts you.
You missed "0. Land", as well as "5. ???" and "6. Profit!"
You can get away with it if you're a bunny.
What's your phone number doing in your credit card record?

Not everyone has a phone number. Would they understand a reply of "Mu"?
What's the second one?
The thing I've never understood is why the UN wants Israel to give back territory it captured in a war it didn't start.
