OK, for the sake of stereotypes I could imagine agreeing that we "often" give up, but not that we give up living.

Holy crap! Fines that large should be against the law.

In the US, fines so high are reserved for truly heinous crimes. Such as downloading a couple of songs off the internet.

Yeah, and in one of the cases the record company demanded more money than the industry had made since Edison invented the gramophone.

Magistrates' fines rarely get near the maximum as it stands, this won't really make any difference, although it's good for headline writers.

Always wanted this question answering in the UK.
We use the national speedway sign on a road because the speed is different for different types of vehicle. So for example. Dual Carriage way is 70MPH for a car...60 MPH for a transit VAN.
So I am in a Car... and get camera'd at 69...But a transit VAN is doing 59...We are both technically speeding by as much. (In fact the VAN as a percentage is worse). But he doesn't get a ticket.
Does this mean that as a Car driver I am being personally targeted...Isn't this unfair discrimination.
Also just to make this really complicated some MPVs actually have a transit chassis, and as such should be doing 60 in this zone.
I would love this argument to be brought up in court one day. You can imagine the police officer looking a bit dumbfounded

Recent claims by the Conservative party that Michael Gove has passed the Turing test and is therefore a real human being have turned out to be ‘inaccurate’.

So Michael Gove tried, and failed, to pass himself off as a 13 year old boy?
Interesting

...trying to sort out why a list was in the wrong order.
The data comes from a DataGridView, and it's SelectedRows property, and I use Linq methods to process this (eventually) into a comma separated string (ready for a columns list in an SQL statement).
And no matter what I did, it was always backwards: last selected column name first. Now, I know that SelectedRows is returned in "last first" order, that's what I want. So I use Reverse..and nothing changes.
Pull hair, puzzle, change, run, check MSDN, run, puzzle, repeat...realize that's the wrong damn method, that one gets the table names...
Oh...swear words.

Indeed. There tend to be more "?" in the comments section then in the actual question.
