Lines without service in the USA by law have tone and will dial 911 or let you order service. If you dial any other number it tells you that you do not have service and asks if you would like to get it.
Because any longer than that and you can pretty much bet modern civilization totally failed. Two weeks is just a little longer than it should take to get power back to pretty much anywhere. You try 5 or 6 days without food in the middle of winter with no heat and let me know how it works out for you.
The last time we had a real ice storm in my area Power and phone failed at the same time. When big trees break and take the lines right off the poles that happens. Cell phones were working again before land lines in many areas. Phones are not security in bad weather.
Let me clarify, West Seneca. Which might not get that cold, but colder than right on the lake. Those weeks it only got down to single digits at night. I have also gone camping in the Alaska winter, that was double digits negative. Both seem to have not killed me.
You can dial 911 on any land line without service. If your shit hits the fan scenario is to call 911 you are screwed. Lots of other folks will be calling at the same time.
How much stamina does it take to go get some blankets out of the closet? An old widow should certainly have gotten those out when the storm started.
If you don't have an alternative method of cooking with fuel for two weeks, the same amount of shelf stable food, and some basic sleeping bags and blankets you are asking for a miserable death next time the power fails in a large area.
Not one is pretending it is factual. Besides I can say anything I want about anyone, they then must prove I should not be allowed to say it, via slander or other laws.
Cock-Cola you probably could get away with, since it is another word. Trademarking your name does not protect you from parody or being in the new. For instance I can say Sarah Palin is a moron who should perhaps see if she can get her own daughter to keep her legs shut before suggesting that as a solution to teen pregnancy.
Which does not change that fact that it is too long. If you guarantee someone a paycheck for their own life + 50 you are already reducing their need to produce further works. No amount of future protection will make JRR Tolkien rise from his grave and write more novels.
False dichotomy. No reason we could not drill on land, use nuclear power, or any number of things that would have prevented this. Hell, we could just require the proper safety measures be used and hang the CEO if they fail to do that. I bet a couple Execs with broken necks would sort this shit right out.
These records are from the same fucking doctor. I end up showing it to them in the record they are holding. Apparently flipping a couple pages is too hard for some Drs.
You cannot buy the license they need, nothing about ethics it just is not sold. You cannot buy a license for all the folks that get the source forever and ever into the future.
I do not believe that is the case, they seem to worship a similar sky wizard. Just he is in a worse mood. I merely meant to imply that asking any fictional creature for assistance is unlikely to be useful.
Why not? If other people do not like what they are saying they are not being forced to listen. They are on public property, they can do as they like so long as they do not make a public disturbance or some sort of noise issue.

If the issue is snow, you melt that and drink it. Yes this means you need to have more fuel. You can crap in the tub if need be.
You can dial 911 without service. By law all phones connected to the network must be capable of dialing 911.

Try it.

I lived for two weeks in the buffalo winter without heat when i first moved in. With some blankets and a sleeping bag you can do fine.

What makes you think you have the right to control what I put in my fictional works?
Just then Lincoln shot big bird with his ray gun and all the children were covered in a shower of feathers and candy.
Why should I not be allowed to write the above?
Why not?
He is dead, he cannot be harmed by your actions.

Then increasing costs surely would make alternatives look attractive. Still no absolute need to go drilling in very deep water.

This individual is no more, he cannot protect this right anymore than he can rise from the grave and eat brains.
Sounds just like the DEA, they ban drugs all by themselves. Seems the republicans like that one just fine though.

Then it ceases to be FREE software. What would be the fucking point of it even existing?

You don't know that unicorns are fictional.
The default is that something does not exist.

I thought they were just in it for the lawsuits anyway.
