Because the MP3 players and phones typically aren't intended for eyes-free operation. On a properly designed car, all typical functions (Radio, HVAC, etc. exceptions would be setting the clock and other such not-supposed-to-be-done-while-driving tasks) should be easily controlled without needing to look at them.
Pfft. It is not difficult to find faults in underground cables. Just equip the linesmen with reflectometers and you'll have the fault isolated to within centimeters.
And yes, digging to get at the cable is not trivial, but playing around with 25+ foot logs is not exactly quick and easy either.
Justices. There are 7 of them and they're elected for 6 year terms. If someone leaves in the middle of a term (The justices are required to retire at 70), the governor appoints a replacement for the remainder of the term.
Currently, 3 of the judges have been appointed and not faced election. They were all with the majority. The 4th guy was appointed in 1994 and was last reelected in 2009.
Great! Now the management can layoff the computer science instructors and park maintenance employees in favor of getting free workers paid by the government and put the money saved towards more worthy pursuits like their performance bonuses!
That will do wonderful things for the unemployment rate.
Communism works fine. Hutterite colonies all around here operate on communal ownership and have for decades.
What communism does not do is scale up worth a damn. Seemingly, once the population goes past Dunbar's number, it breaks down. A non-homogenous population probably would knock that limit down further.
Because if I did, my doctor would run the tests and tell me, you've got whatchamacolis and hyperwheesis, I'm dialing up for you drugs X, Y, and Z. Don't worry, your plan should cover almost all of it.
At which point the question becomes "Why is this man still your doctor?"
The solution is a market solution, but this will not be allowed.
A "market solution" will not function unless the established players are either removed or restricted.
Either AT&T and the other monopolistic/ogliopogist telcoms need to be chopped up finely (and prevented from T-1000ing like AT&T has) or we go back to forced line leasing as it was between 1996 and 2005.
Not really. A tree can easily be far larger (have you *seen* a California Redwood?), and those things fall into rivers, which lead to the ocean, which leads to...
Waterlogged trees sinking to the bottom of the ocean and rotting a short distance from where they entered it.
a big damn sock made of treated wood that won't absorb water, and therefore won't sink or rot, and will happily float across an ocean with passengers is something entirely different.
I sure hope no one tries to intervene and prevent this from happening. This is not a man made occurrence, but an entirely natural one.
Right. Pressure-treated wood that doesn't become waterlogged, sink, and rot is completely natural.
Stick a natural log in a tank of water for a couple months. It will absorb water, sink to the bottom of the tank, and then start to rot. It would drift maybe a couple hundred miles in an ocean before that happens. It's not going to be crossing an ocean.

As opposed the guy with the over-tall load (like said backhoe) knocking down an overhead line.
6 vs. half-dozen. You're not going to protect against stupid. At least the underground line is better protected against weather.

but the environmental cost of leaks is nothing to sneer at.
It is when you won't be paying for it.
CNN must've though they were the Chicago Tribune.

Local water temperature (also salinity, etc.) has effects on water levels (e.g. warmer water,=less dense water=higher local water level).
Large coastal cities and their attendant infrastructure (e.g. power plants) do a pretty good job of dumping extra heat into said water.
What exactly are you sticking that stick in that isn't going to be moved or reshaped by the water flow over a few years?
Water temperature and salinity variations, among other things, between areas will result in differences in sea level rise between places.
What about asking some astrologers too?
Nancy Regan did. That alone should get Republicans on board with it.
Go into options and set "comment post mode" to "plain old text". Otherwise you need to do the formatting manually with line break tags and such.

That's not a bug, it's a feature.
Welcome to neoconservativism.
No, has to be Bud Light.

And his bomb also walked to the vault where the backup tapes are hold?
Because restoring stuff from tape takes no time at all and every company regularly tests their backups to ensure they actually work.

At which point the question becomes "Why is this man still your doctor?"
For one person, sure. Share it across 2, 3, or 4 people using VOIP/netflix/etc. and it takes considerably less effort to blow past.

Uh huh. Telus : They use animals in their commercials because they can't find a human willing to advertise for them.
Saskatchewan seems to be a bright spot with FTTP being rolled out.
In reality it SHOULD be different getting something from a local network verses a more remote store.
Great, so if I set my torrent client to vastly prefer peers on Comcast IP ranges, there'll be no cap?
Nope, it's only uncapped for their specially ordained traffic.
Grab a chunk of natural, untreated wood and leave it in water for a few months.
Like the driftwood that continually washes up on the beach?
Driftwood isn't going to be from the other side of the planet. It will be from much closer and will make landfall before it fully waterlogs.
It's not going to be carrying passengers across an ocean, unlike treated everything-proof wood you'd use on a ship or a dock.
Would those passengers be likely to tolerate the CCA or other treatments over the trans-ocean journey?
If the wood is just being used as a substrate and not as a nutrition source, quite likely.
Not really. A tree can easily be far larger (have you *seen* a California Redwood?), and those things fall into rivers, which lead to the ocean, which leads to...
Waterlogged trees sinking to the bottom of the ocean and rotting a short distance from where they entered it.
a big damn sock made of treated wood that won't absorb water, and therefore won't sink or rot, and will happily float across an ocean with passengers is something entirely different.
Untreated wood will absorb water, sink, and then rot without getting far.
Treated wood will not absorb water, won't sink, won't rot and will float across the ocean with passengers.
I sure hope no one tries to intervene and prevent this from happening. This is not a man made occurrence, but an entirely natural one.
