I think your calculation is off. By my count, fully 10% of drivers AT ANY GIVEN TIME are talking on a cell phone and should therefore be classified as distracted.
GP has provided government statistics. You've provided "my count." All things being equal I'm going to go with GP on this one.
We do this already. Not the fertilizer thing (at least, not primarily, but I'm all for being buried in a cardboard box and turning into mulch), but the organ transplant thing. Now we've got a hack to bypass biological DRM. Better not let the MPAA hear about it.
"Intel has released its first version of Parp, an open-source Parp run-time and Parp back-end for Linux that uses Parp/Parp and is compatible with Ivy Bridge processors. Right now there's partial support for Parp 1.0 and 1.1 along with other basic functionality."
This is not using Parp, and at least Some Guy thinks it should not be a par.p project because it duplicates functionality already present in Parp.
external screen that does nothing except show you what is on the TV
...or anything else the system wants to show, and is also an input device.
I was going to get one until I realized it offered nothing at all over the Wii.
It may not offer enough for you, but it's just being churlish to suggest that that equates to "nothing." You sound like Grandpa Simpson when he said that a fax machine is nothing but a waffle iron with a phone attached.
Tip: other people are different to you and enjoy different things. The classy thing is just to let them get on with it rather than sneer at them in public in attempt to look superior.
Of course here on Slashdot we have this wonderful moderation system which lets you get a whiff of public opinion, which, while not an objective measurement, would seem to suggest that on this occasion I am, in fact, funny. Unfortunately there's no "-1 condescending snob" option, so we may never know what the world thinks of HornWumpus.
Die Hard 2 wasn't exactly meant to make you think "what if...?". Films that strictly depict real life possibilities tend to be either very worthy or very very dull (and sometimes both).

Not provide as much coverage out of a sense of good taste?
And the ones that are public service organisations feel they have an obligation to "keep up" with the rest.
Because it goes up to 11.
Officials also announced a twist in the probe: Suspicious packages that were detonated out of precaution were not explosive devices after all.
That's not a twist, it's just a thing. A twist is if it turns out to have been Richard Simmons.
I watched a BBC documentary this past year
Let me guess - BBC Three?
The price of bacon may also go down, win win.
Not for the pig.

I am still trying to get gapless playback out of VLC.
Of what?
I live in a shack and steal wi-fi from the neighbours, you insensitive clod!
Do you also not own a TV?
Eric Schmidt: Regulate Civilian Drones Now...
which means the number of places you could see this will be limited
Just because it's being shot on film, that doesn't mean it won't be a digital end product.
You do realize* the Wii U is simply a Wii
With an updated CPU and GPU and a lot more RAM.

Seriously though: aren't we actually the same species anyway?
They didn't buy that down at Monkey World and they're not going to buy it here.
Stupid sexy monkeys...

I've got a [sarcasm] sign, but I didn't think I'd ever need a [pedantry for comic effect] sign.
The trip is captured on film
ORLY?

Ultimately, yes.
Ohh, speeeed holes!
You must've hated Airplane.
