You know, I don't want things to die. But I'm really fucking sick of the piles of dog shit, the dead circles where the dogs piss, and the dead cat in my own back yard because someone doesn't feel like restraining their 80 lb dogs. I wouldn't care if someone let a chihuahua run free, but funnily enough people always seem to keep those on a tight leash.
No, TiVo still doesn't get on-demand from Comcast. And it still isn't as good of an experience as my old ReplayTV. But it's better than the Comcast box.
Cable0ready does not allow for on-demand. Neither does CableCard. It's really the only weakness of TiVo vs Comcast's box. (And it's totally not worth it to me - my TiVo is just a million times better of a box, and I'll put up with its weaknesses in order to get the stuff it does really well.)
"That was a misinformed representative. He has been replaced. We are sorry for the misunderstanding. It's all quite clearly laid out in our training manuals."
Wait, so she pays for kitty litter, and cleans up after them, while at the same time having a rodent problem? Just let the cats out, man, you'll be rodent-free in no time.
Well, generally, you call the local constabulary before you go shooting that sort of thing. "Hello, officer, it's Rev. Jones. Mr Williams will be hunting badger tonight, no need to worry over a few shots fired. Drop by and help him out if you like." I knew a guy once who had a full-auto license. He made a point of calling the appropriate sheriff's department before firing it in unfamiliar places.
That said, in the US you'd need one for coyotes, wildcats, wild/roaming dogs, etc. Idyllic place indeed if that's never a worry.
What I know about rural England could fit in a thimble, so: is it such a harmless place that not a single parishioner owns a shotgun and is willing to use it?
The WaPo has a lot of ties to the establishment. It's almost certain that they have off-the-record knowledge of the extent of American (and probably other countries') espionage against Iran.
If you're not surrounded by savages, it doesn't take much to secure a property. One or two guys to wander around at night and make sure no drunk kids decide to shoot out/throw rocks at the windows.
On my last non-smart phone, a Moto RAZR, you could press one button to activate voice dialing. Press that, say "Google", let it connect. Talk over hands-free Bluetooth. It was less distracting than changing the radio.
That's great, if you have 1) a cell phone 2) with a texting plan, and 3) you aren't driving. Cell phones don't always get reception, texting a la carte is expensive, and even where it's legal you shouldn't do it on the road.
Construction on the ground instead of in the air is the point. Those cranes lift single beams, not whole floors at a time. It's a lot faster to build six floors at a time and airlift them into place as they are finished rather than assemble each one in situ.
Lots of things that are smart investments if you're building a home from scratch are not so great if you're talking about replacing a working system. Almost nobody will pay more for a house just because it has better efficiency that will save $1000/year on utility bills, so the payback horizon is often much longer than people intend to own the house for.
When you get mugged in another town, it happens within that town's jurisdiction. This is more like asking why I can't get the (less corrupt, more competent) police from another city near me to come investigate when my car gets broken into at home.
The tax would be extremely high if you wanted to cover the whole county; it's 545 sq mi of land (per Wikipedia). I don't know for certain, but I imagine that the town only offers coverage to those areas that are just barely outside the city limits.
In a lot of rural areas, fire coverage is volunteer-only, because a professional, tax-funded department would be prohibitively expensive. Professional firefighting services only really work when the area to be covered is fairly densely populated.

Leash laws are not often enforced upon cats, but that doesn't mean they don't apply.

the smell of her cat's urine

If your pet's drinking antifreeze out of my driveway, you're violating the leash laws. Keep your pet under control and off my property.

that should really be native American, no Native American
It's a pretty useful capitalization. I'm a native American, but I'm not a Native American. How would you prefer to make that distinction?
What I know about rural England could fit in a thimble, so: is it such a harmless place that not a single parishioner owns a shotgun and is willing to use it?
It doesn't include Denmark or the Netherlands, either. Or the Ukraine. And, of course, it leaves off Canada.

You have water problems west of the Mississippi. Those of us in the eastern half of the country are just fine.

In the non-US parts of the world, Oct 20 will be 20/10/2010. Maybe you should hold out for that.

It was a fairly inexpensive way to collect a LOT of voices saying things over and over again. That was the payoff.

We deal with explosive stuff all the time. As long as you're not going to move humans around, though, it's not that big a deal.

Property taxes, which fund local services, don't care how much you earn.
Nothing wrong with VFDs. A great solution, but apparently one they didn't want to try.
