If you stopped building your homes out of match sticks and built homes that where able to withstand tornadoes (and yes this is perfectly possible) then the clean up would be a *LOT* simpler.
Other sensible measures would be putting electric and telecoms under ground as well.
Both those measures are expensive. Do you have any idea how many thousands of miles of telecom/electric cables are in Oklahoma? If they just have one mile of wire per square mile, that's 69,898 miles of wire. I think the figure is many times that.
Same with housing. Building with concrete or steel is expensive, and will turn your house into an E-Z Bake Oven as well. That would increase electricity needs for running AC, which would lead to more pollution, which would cause more deaths.
I really hope they don't put up ever more cameras. We don't need them. Crime has been falling since 1988 and the US murder rate is around 5.4 / 100,000 people. And that is close to its all time low. And terrorism is rare and unlikely to kill or hurt anyone. When can we start rolling out policy based on data and evidence not on fear?
As far as cameras looking at police officers. We need a lot more of that. Police routinely 'beat people up' and conduct illegal searches. They need to be put on a short leash.
You provided the per-capita murder rate. Can you also provide the per-capita for people beat up by police and for illegal searches?
I would think that shutting down cell towers wouldn't be particularly effective, given that the same mechanism that would allow one to trigger a bomb with a cell phone is also present in other RF devices such as baby monitors and walkie-talkies.
They could also set the bomb to trigger if it loses reception.
Really? I bought Monkey Island 1 and 2 on Steam in 2012. The updated graphics and sound are great, but you can switch it back to the original very easily.
What if to brake safely you come to a stop over the line? (large truck behind you or someone riding your ass, speeding etc?)
If someone rear-ends you, then that's their fault. 100% of the time. They were following you too close or not paying attention. You can only control one thing when you are driving--yourself. Stop staring in your rearview mirror when you are driving. You only need to look into it when you are going to make a lane change, or if you hear sirens. I rearended someone myself--going 50mph--because I was looking in my rearview mirror too long while doing a lane change, and they were stopped dead on the highway.
On the other hand, stop lights should have the timing set correctly--that is, they should stay yellow long enough for someone going the speed limit to either make it through the intersection, or to stop prior to the intersection. But the article is not about red light cameras, it's about speed cameras.
I want interoperability between Social network Providers!

Subject: Attack North Korea
Hey Ray,
I want to make that Nobel Peace Prize committee look like an even bigger bunch of fools. And, I'm tired of the Democrat party being called 'weak' on national security. The North Korean missile threat is the last straw--let's send in the Marines!
I'm guessing people, like yourself, that download 208 GBs a month are not the target market. Any other products you'd like to declare dead just because you personally wouldn't use it?
Yes, I declare the following are dead: tampons, hang gliders, skirts, tofu, turkey burgers, yachts, and nuclear missiles.
A corporation is nothing more than an organized group of people. Since individuals have a right to free speech, then you can't remove their right to free speech simply because they want to use a different name (the corporate name) instead of their own.
"Lethargic"? Try "unconstitutional" or "illegal", per the Sixth Amendment:
"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial..."
How are you certain that Bradley asked for to use that right? You are certain that the defendant (or his lawyer) wasn't the one who stalled in order to present a more vigorous defense, track down other witnesses, gather evidences of PTSD or insanity or brainwashing or wahtever?
And, how do you define speedy? He had 22 charges against him; that means the government had about 6 weeks to prepare to prosecute each of those charges. 6 weeks isn't a whole lot of time.
In common usage here in the US, women's breasts are tits, not teats. Teats are generally attached to cows, goats, etc. It's been that way since the 1960s that I'm aware of.
So...is the government a woman or a goat? I suppose that will determine the correct word.
It has always been my experience that universities' IT departments are almost universally clueless. In fact, their level of cluelessness rivals and outstrips that of many banks. My (maybe just slightly cynical) assumption is that these colleges only employ their own graduates...
I read about this very thing in the news 15 years ago!
I half expect now, to learn that some surgeon in the 1700's was already using it experimentally.
Get off your ass, medical science!
Right, because testing theories on unborn children is the scientific way!
If you don't have service pack 1 installed you are an idiot anyway to run a non-updated system.
There was almost zero benefits in SP1 for the average home user. Users can install all the needed security updates separately; in fact, this is often recommended, to reduce the size of the service pack download. Win7 received SP1 because Server 2008R2 needed the contents of the service pack.Here's what's in it for Win7:
Additional support for communication with third-party federation services (those supporting the WS-Federation passive profile protocol)
Improved HDMI audio device performance
Corrected behavior when printing mixed-orientation XPS documents
Change to behavior of “Restore previous folders at logon” functionality
Enhanced support for additional identities in RRAS and IPsec
Support for Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX)
Improved Support for Advanced Format (512e) Storage Devices (devices with 4kb physical sectors)
But on average they benefit less than if these special tax deals were not offered all. It is a version of the prisoners dilemma. You can only "win" if you defect while everyone else cooperates. But if everyone defects, we all lose.
Personally, I think these tax breaks are unconstitutional, because they violate the equal protection clause. Why should one business get a special exemption, when others (including their competitors) do not?
I think you're the only person on the planet who thinks that "Equal protection" should mean "equal taxes". Do you want your taxes to equal what [Teresa Heinz/Mitt Romney/other-rich-person] has to pay? Or, should their taxes be equal to yours? That would be "equal", wouldn't it?
Now, I don't think that there should be equal taxes, and I don't think that there should be tax breaks for certain businesses. But you're going to need to find a different reason to legally prevent such tax breaks. For example, you could try and get a constitutional amendment passed.
Even the top levels of the US government recommend being prepared for a Zombie Apocalypse. I mean, this is the same group of folks that wants you to get a flu shot.
And just where do you think zombies come from, hmm? You don't really think its from hell being full now, do you?
Still, considering that's just the *extraction process* for natural gas, and it's second to coal power, before that NG is even burned...that's REALLY fucking bad.
It's not cost-effective to frack for natural gas. Fracking is done to get oil out of the ground. The natural gas is just an additional benefit.
A *POSSIBLE* ancestor that a study suggests *MIGHT* be what they thing. Maybe. Possibly.
In other words, the headline is, as usual, misleading.
"We have no actual evidence or fossils, but because we desperately want the fossil record to agree with our (non)religious belief system, this is the creature that we want to find.
It's more like if France had a law against giving people the finger and you stood in France and gave the finger to someone in Switzerland and then the person in Switzerland sued you with France's law even though there is no such law in Switzerland.
You're still breaking the law in France. It doesn't matter if someone in another country saw you commit the crime--If I'm on the US side of the border, and shoot someone who is also in the US, and a Mexican (or Canadian, depending) sees the crime and calls the police, I'm still guilty of shooting someone in the US.
Why in the world is a company listening to a foreign company on a DMCA complaint?!?!?
I mean, this is a US law...so, it should be able to be used by a foreign company should it?
I mean, if DMCA, which has often been brought to light on this list and not affecting foreign countres....why is it able to be used by THEM to put forth claims on the US and US companies?
So if I murder a foreigner while they are visiting the US, the US murder laws shouldn't apply?
The real problem we should be focusing on is the "takedown first, ask questions later" approach.
