Yes there is. It's usually codified in the local planning regulations. Same applies to schools, college, businesses etc, and often depends on how far away they are from public transport. Mind you, one could always charge blue badge holders for parking anyway like they do at some hospitals.
Cars cost quite a bit though. And if they are poor quality, lives are at stake.
Wikipedia is free and any inaccuracies are hardly life threatening - a bit of slanging off at a pub quiz and some rogue statistics in news articles. It's not like Mr Thompson-Smythe, registrar surgeon at St Mary's is going to be hauled before the BMA and offer as a defence "But the Wikipedia article said to make a MEDIAL incision into the lower aorta..."
It's hardly analogous. I know what an analogy is... I looked it up in Wikipedia.
You could have illustrated the point to Steve Jackson thusly...
Page 63. "You have reached the Starship Jupiter's comms cabinet. In front of you are thousands of wires. There are red ones, blue ones and green ones. One of them must control the security grid defences protecting the bridge. Unplug it and you will be able to enter the bridge and regain control of the ship before it hits the planet. Quickly now! Choose a cable, but choose wisely - pick the wrong one and unplugging it will damage the life support system.
If you choose a red cable turn to page 234.
If you choose a blue cable turn to page 137.
If you choose a green cable turn to page 345."
On pages 234, 137 & 345.
"If you chose the left hand half of the bundle turn to page 378 (etc)"
And then just "You follow the cable into the corridor service duct. Turn to page ..." again and again until finally, after 50 pages...
"The cable disappears through a hole in the wall. You open the adjacent door and follow the cable through to the other side. Turn to page 63."
I quite like the idea of combining implanted electrode stimulation of behaviour with Twitter and AngryBirds. For that kind of augmented reality social networking experience that really delivers.
trying to understand the ISPs ads. Especially the crap-laden BT ones which don't make sense from a tech point of view, let alone a financial one.
But I do understand the adverts for GoCompare, CompareTheMeerkat, USwitch, BroadBandChoices etc. They pay people to do the sums and read the small print for me, providing I bear in mind that there could be a bias from all the kickbacks...
Now which one should I use?
Is there a comparison site for comparison sites?
"businesses holding out on Windows XP and Windows 7 on old PCs,"
As a business user, can I just point out that I buy my new hardware with Windows 7 on it. Mainly BECAUSE it has Windows 7 on it. Actually, I may not buy the very latest... Anyway, it clears the slightly older hardware channels of stock, what are you complaining about?!
If against a petrol engined opponent, launches a cloud of air-filter clogging particles.
Against an electrically powered opponent, a web of sticky Kevlar fibres shot into the wheel housings.
Or a stinger-like device that could penetrate the outer shell and fill the interior with expanding builder's foam.
