We booked with Delta on the way down and US Air on the way back. It takes a little more work because you're shopping for plane tickets twice, but I'd bet in most cases, it's worth it.
I booked a flight to Greece and a separate return from Albania. That flight back from Albania was cancelled a few days before. I was refunded, but I had to book another flight (with a different airline) quite close to the date, so it cost me ~£150 more than the original flight.
European regulations mean that if I'd booked it as a round trip (even if it's A to B, C to A) the airline would have to get me home at no extra expense, and compensate me if there's a significant delay.
That probably affects the British recommendation -- it's permanently damp here. (amateur data in London, but the official data is only available as a download).
It's 3C outside now (17:09), with 86% humidity, changing to 0C and fog overnight.
Fahrenheit is still used (unofficially) in UK, along with pounds, stones (and hundredweight); inches, feet, yards, chains, furlongs and miles; Gas Marks; guineas etc.
Fahrenheit is used much less than pounds/stones or inches/feet/yards/miles, including unofficially. Many -- very possibly most -- old people use Celsius, and the BBC weather forecast (on TV) hasn't given temperatures in Fahrenheit for many years.
62F = 16.5C. Below 16C the World Health Organisation says vulnerable people are at risk of respiritory infection, they recommend at least 21C for such people.
In the living room I've got the windows closed, no heater yet, and it's 65. In the bedroom the window is open and it's in the 40s. I love snuggling under my pile of blankets, and sleep much better that way than I do in the summer when it's 80 in the bedroom.
British Government health advice is that living rooms should be heated to temperatures of 21C (70F) and the rest of the house to 18C (64F).
The World Health Organisation says "vulnerable people" are at risk of respiritory infection below 16C (61F).
Getting used to cool temperature works even better when you're not wearing clothes at all in house. It's 64F in my living room, I'm nude and perfectly comfortable (even sweating a little). Thursday afternoon it's time for the annual new-year's dip in the 45F Northsea, going back to the beach-club in the 38F (predicted) air temperature should be an "interesting" experience.
Why did you bother to convert that to Farenheit? Now I have to convert it back to Celsius...
64F = 18C
45F = 7C
38F = 3C
18C is a reasonable temperature, and the British government recommended temperature for the "rest of the house". They recommend 20C for the living room. I think my house's thermostat is set to 17 or 18C.
Rum comes in all qualities. This one: http://m.tesco.com/h5/grocerie... is mass produced, though that didn't stop an American I met last summer buying everyone at the bar a drink of something "illegal".
If you're only used in big cities you're better off just going pure electric. The efficiency is much greater, the vehicle cost is lower and it's far more convenient to charge up at night than to have to wait in line at a hydrogen filling station.
The bus depot will have it's own diesel (or hydrogen) pump, so it's probably only a small saving. In a major city with a significant electric night bus service they'd probably need rapid charging points instead.
London has six electric buses on various trials. I saw a video clip about them -- there were so many batteries they'd taken up the whole back of the bus, and obscured the read windscreen. That might not be the newest ones though.
Trolley buses are a cheap solution, still used widely in the ex-Soviet Union, China, Pyongyang etc. The buses are light as well, so there's much less damage to the road surface. A small battery could add the flexibility to make minor route changes away from the wires.
Why not? Why should the creator not be able to impose any restrictions they damn please? As long as they aren't in a position to prevent you from rejecting their entire creation, they ought to be able to attach whatever strings they want.
Many countries have laws preventing unreasonable contracts, and judges that will often side with the consumer when a contract is intentionally misleading etc. These terms would need to be made very clear, and the price reduced too.
FT2ndArticle: "We have a fleet of rail-head treatment trains which clean the rails using water jets and then apply a sand-based gel to help trains gain adhesion."
Another page says there are 55 treatment trains. There are something like 4000 "trains", so maybe the point of this system is it can be attached to normal trains, rather than requiring a special train.
While you can argue that out in the boondocks high speed internet is harder to do, what is happening in markets like NYC makes the US look like a joke in comparison with other countries with cities of a similar density.
The population density of the Outer Hebrides is 9/km^2, about the same as the Scottish Highlands. The Inner Hebrides have 4-5/km^2. I'm pretty sure that will be the least densely populated place in the whole UK.
(However, I live in an out-of-the-way bit of London, and get about 2Mbit/s. That's very unusual though, so unusual that I didn't think to check before renting there.)
Let's see.. things that won't be digitized anytime soon:
- gym card
Thumbprint, perhaps?
- subway / bus card
Since September you can pay for transport in London with a contactless credit or debit card. (There's no need to pre-register or anything, but foreigners should check their bank won't charge an unreasonable fee on a £1.45 transaction). They claimed to be first to set this up, including some new special kinds of keep-people-moving-and-deal-with-the-fraud-later transaction, so I expect it will catch on elsewhere in the next year or two.
Data structures are tools. I don't really have affection for any particular one. It depends on what I need them for.
And does the job require implementing one (assuming you are using that word the way I think that you are)? Or does it involve using them, in service of business goals?
It's an interview, so I'd take "favourite" to mean "interesting".
And if someone can tell me how to implement a linked list that's a good start. Even better if they can use that to tell me when using a linked list is worse than using an array list, and vice-versa.
In Britain, if your house is connected by an above-ground electricity cable I'd estimate less than 20 families live in the settlement.
(No evidence for that, but it's only tiny places that have above ground electricity. Above-ground telephone is more common, that could be small or old.)
Comparing the U.S. the little toy countries in Europe is silly. They are about the size of one of our states. It is much easier given their pop. density to keep their little toy grids up and running.
The European countries have connections between them -- mine (UK) imports/exports power from Ireland, France and the Netherlands. There are plans to connect to Norway and Iceland (not in the EU).
Something like a railway cable trough, typically concrete, is common in Britain at the side of most railway track.
But it's a criminal offence to trespass on the railway.
Better example: buried cables along canals in London. Only pedestrians and cyclists (and horses) can use that path, could it stand up to cars and lorries?
(I'm pretty sure the electricity company will use boats and barges to maintain the cables, which is probably a lot easier than having to divert road traffic etc, and earns them eco-points.)

Malaysia is the most obese country in Asia.
Malaysia: 44% adult men overweight or obese
USA: 71%
Western Europe: 61% average (e.g. UK 67%)
Thailand: 32%
Thailand's adults are a lot slimmer than the average European, but Thai children have mostly caught up to European children's weight.

Platform edge doors require all your trains to be very similar in design, and have to integrate with a more expensive signaling system.
They're not very common in Europe, except on newer lines.
In European cities is not unusual for a road like that to be blocked for through traffic, but with a gap for bicycles.
"A fening is 1â100 of a Bosnia and Herzegovina convertible mark"
That's cognate with penny.
It probably makes some sense for vehicles that are only used in big cities, since it moves the pollution.
London has had a few hydrogen buses for a few years now, but I don't think there are plans to develop them beyond a trial fleet.
An electric bus (all batteries) Also exists, but isn't yet practical.
And the price needs reduced? Wha?
Using your example:
1. "Aerosmith, standing ticket, $400"
2. "Aerosmith, with backstage pass*, $xxx" (*backstage only for first 10 people to arrive)
3. "Aerosmith, with backstage pass, $600"
The second ticket could be considered misleading, even with the small print, and especially if the price is close to $600 rather than $400.
(IANAL, this is vaguely remembered from a basic law course at university several years ago.)

That's centre left, certainly not far left.
Far left is ending personal property etc. There arenewspapers in Europe with that viewpoint.
In between, firmly left publications like http://socialistworker.co.uk/

Motorways aren't E roads, they are M roads. Scotland and Ireland don't have any E numbered roads.
Ireland and Scotland have E-numbered roads, but in Scotland there aren't road signs with the numbers on (the UK doesn't sign E roads).
