All i can say is that in germany those guys get pretty high fines because they break the law with their system 
*In Germany you need several documents and a specific insurance to drive a cab, they don't have any of that.

Same in Poland - regular taxi drivers need to have licenses.
Only positive is that Uber tracks and records the route, so you can apply for refund if driver took unnecessary long route.

You get free credit when you sign up, which has saved me a few quid on a night out. You can also use your account to order cabs for other people and pay for them, for example if your partner is on a night out and loses her purse.

UBER is an example of a disruptive technology moving someone's cheese. More coming. In Atlanta, we just had a big fight in the government over this. Honestly, most of the cabs stink, the drivers stink, and it's just an all unpleasant experience. The city doesn't like it because they lose revenue (taxi licenses), but the competition is good.
And please don't give me the crap about "we have to regulate" to make sure you're safe.
Recently, Uber added a new policy - no weapons in their vehicles. So, if you've a concealed carry permit, you'd violate their rules. I've always wondered how a driver would know

I was going to report it, but then I thought screw it let them explain the bodies in the trunk!

You should report it anyway. That way hopefully the police will find the car with them still in it, then they are more likely to be suspects to the bodies.
If you don't report and they find the bodies, they will just ditch the car. Eventually the police will find it, trace it back to you, and then you wont be able to try and wriggle out of it with the stolen car excuse because they will ask why you didn't report it stolen.
I think the fact you have overlooked this basic logic means you lack the smarts to get away with this, I recommend coming clean and hoping for a reduced sentence.

Engineer? You sound more like a manager. "I just replaced a light bulb"
It was broke, so I fixed it.

... which sounds like a setup for "How many mechanical engineers does it take to screw in a light bulb?"

If the light bulb is sufficiently large (or the mechanical engineers are really small!) then "two" is the minimum.

If you just replaced a lightbulb you obviously are maintenance-crew
Want to see panic? Have a software-engineer hold a screwdriver, climb on his desk and threaten to replace a lightbulb.

Doubtful. A mechanical engineer would have fixed the bulb rather than just replace it.

A week or two ago, I seem to have installed a windows 8.1 update I shouldn't have.
Ever since that, I get a "Performance Option" dialog[^] EVERY FLUCKING time I start up Windows.
Sorry, in Swedish. For the minority of you who don't speak Swedish, here's a translation:
Performance options
Procesor scheduling
Choose how processor resources should be allocated
Prioritize performance for:
Programs / Background services
It doesn't seem to remember the option I chose the last time it came up (and why it has to come up at all when it hasn't been a problem before, I can't imagine) 
Also, at random intervals, but at least 4 or 5 times a day, another dialog pops up that says that windows has to close some programs because it's short on memory (and I don't have THAT much open). I normally say no and close the programs I want to close, but it's REALLY annoying.
And all of this happened just recently! Presumably after last MS Patch Tuesday Does anybody else have the same problem?
