The only way the probability of an event can not have a statistic is if it is not measured. And if fraudulent behaviour by banks isn't measured then the US really is stuffed.
Funnily enough they are extremely inefficient at generating heat. My heater is 99% efficient and your crummy light bulb only does 90% efficient at best!
I do live in a country with strict gun laws. Australia. Violent crime rate? What violent crime rate?
Every single time without fail, when a gun is used to commit a crime, it is mentioned on the news. Imagine doing that in the US. The news networks wouldn't get anything else in!
Arguably it is better to live in a dictatorship in some ways.
At least the lines are pretty clear and you know what not to do. In the US it seems the lines can be wherever they want them to be at a time to guarantee you cross them.
I'm not entirely convinced the segway will help that disability at all. Sure it would help getting around, but it would also help the obesity an awful lot too.

Penn and Teller's Bullshit did a really nice petition basically saying that the USA is #1 at everything.
A depressing number of people signed it instantly without hesitation.
*THAT* is where the problem is.
I think you'd have bigger problems unless your emergency plan is to use your mobile to call for help.
Does your statement make sense to yourself?

I dunno....seems slightly more reliable than getting a mortgage from a US bank.
Let me know when it only uses two colours. Black and Green.
I don't quite get why they are getting fined for something that was allowed by nearly every other browser.
Do the police like using Safari or something?
Its not like the Safari cookie policies are law.
Hardly an exploit. I'd give 'loophole' to you. Not really Google's fault if Safari left a massive gaping hole in their third party cookie code.
They aren't rouge. They are doing *exactly* what the government wants them to do.

So what magical incandescent do you use which approximate a black body spectrum?

Does it count as racist that I'm absolutely *shocked* a western company has been dodging taxes?
Count how many ads you 'see' (i.e. load a page with the ads on) in a month. Then reconsider.
Yeah but that is usually due to custom chips and different architectures.
With everything now on X86 it becomes stupidly easy. Just certain APIs need to be rewritten so they don't need the exact hardware config.
That cable you have isn't the same as what the NBN was doing. It is a hybrid coax.

The fibre is downstream only, not upstream.
My rubbish ADSL beats your upstream by double yet my downstream is 10Mbit.
Hence the massive flaw with HFC.

Give your car an aluminium foil hat?
Bone induction still needs to be sensed by the ears to produce what we call sound.
You can't use it to make deaf people hear.
Nokia S40 phones are no longer being made dude. Its 5/5 phones these days.
Nah a cheap one would work fine.
If the cheap meter explodes *while the car is off* you know you are on the right track.
Even if they didn't know where it was going, you could find out with a cheap multimeter within an hour or two.
Child porn could be kept in a hidden box as well! Better add that to the rap sheet.
Once you define the unit of truth that is. :P

Actually a device is more useful in practical terms for comparing a specific device to an adaptor.
I have a 500 amp 5v USB charger. That means my phone charges in 30 seconds right?
You have to take in to account the device's ability to draw the power.
