Except this is the responsibility of the utility. They decided to pay out healthy dividends instead of regular maintenance. When the utilities were regulated back in '92 they were suppose to invest money back into the infrastructure. After deregulation, they don't bother.
Right because they're not paying health dividends instead of paying for regular maintenance....
"...recent Public Service Commission investigation of Pepco found a years-long pattern of shirking such maintenance (curiously, at the same time that the company was paying its stockholders healthy dividends). The commission handed down a $1 million fine, its largest ever, for what it called a pattern of neglect. "
So when then is Microsoft eliminating the GUI from its' server os? It's the freakin' over-head. GUIs eat up resources and are not efficient for admin functions.
You mean like a ribbon that only lists the top used functions and you have search help to find the rest of the functions because they are not listed on the ribbon and then add a button to the button bar for later use.
Hey genius, go look at the price of commodities. Notice when there is a scarcity how prices shoot through the roof. Notice when crop yields are down and the resulting prices. Something like corn has a very WIDE reaching impact. You're seeing that now with the wild fires in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. You're seeing that with the heavy rains in Florida. We are seeing the effects now.
And that's just cost of commodities. Don't forget the costs to help states deal with these disasters. The cost to insurance companies having to pay out on claims and the cost to other policies holders because their premiums went up to pay for the company's losses.
These are very real tangible effects felt by everyone. You don't need to wait a century.
Coming from an anonymous coward....yeah...really carries weight. Scientists versus Anonymous Coward. I'll go with the scientists because if they're wrong, all we did was make the planet more productive. If you're wrong, we're fucked.

When their key UI insight is to remove the Start button from their next OS release, you know they have problems......
as opposed to theist materialism.....

As opposed to to the economic cost of constantly having power outages do to storms. In the long room it would be cheaper.
And you're an ass-wipe. next comment.
Over head lines need more repairs than underground lines. The more damage do to storms makes putting them underground cheaper alternative.

"most heavily regulated industries"
California would disagree.
They over-turned a a Supreme Court decision that stood for 100 years. So think again Potsy.
He's from the Heritage foundation and consequently doesn't know what capitalism is....

Stop while you looked smart because now you look like an ass.
Wow. So you want people to search tru thousands of menus to find that one function they need. Brilliant.

idiot.
Yeah because those ribbons are so intuitive and contain all functions of the program and you never have to consult a help text....oh wait...
Yeah it's really hard type ipconfig.....
Right assuming you can agree upon the terms.
"It looks like two blinking computers."
"I don't see that."
"should ever have"
The key phrase, "should ever have," is the point. Should ever but in the end they will, so no reason not to have it.
"Typing in a few keywords is not CLI. That's just data input in response to a prompt."
What the hell do you think a command line interface is!

Actually the changes necessary to reduce and eliminate the threat of global warming are minor. They only become magnified the longer we put it off.
Yeah because it's no like tobacco industry lied to the public....oh wait....
Yeah like the fires in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and the severe tropical storms in Florida....oh wait....
