Just wait for a future civilization to dig up all that crap and assume that we either lived in the coldest parts of Earth or Earth rotated and killed us off.
We get tired of the competition between Ohio and North Carolina for the origin vs. actually flying the first plane so we have to look elsewhere to pick fights.
You could arguably achieve the same feat using message passing, no? Or some type of event dispatch and listening singleton. A few locks for sanity and you could have all your windows communicating like they do currently.
I run 64-bit Linux and ALWAYS experienced crashes with the 32-bit player and the wrapper workaround. After manually installing the 64-bit Flash player, it's stable. I really have no complaints now.
One would argue that it's a sort of natural selection effect. You'd have less crappy books out there from young authors who want a simple "cash in" solution to paying the bills by throwing any garbage out there and having it published. Only those truly dedicated to the craft would succeed. You would of course have fewer books, but of better calibre.
Well, it does have "cool effects" (readable) and "was rewritten from the ground up to be fast and light" (supposedly short) while maintaining the normal Windows work flow (innocent.)/sarcasm
I know I'm reaching at straws here, but lets say one way is obstructed view. If this way is also covered in snow and the person does stop, doesn't see anyone coming and another person who can't see them until they are in the intersection (likely covered in snow and possibly ice) has a green light to go through. If they can't stop in time, there will be an incident.
In the above case, it's probably the fault of the person going through the green too fast, but for the person pulling up to an obscured light, with an obscured view, they have much more to account for than someone just obeying the signal.
We have metal hoods over them here as well, but the problem in the posted image is that the snow gets under the hood and sticks to the light. I was always told the hoods were to prevent indirect sunlight from reflecting on the internal reflector and lighting up the light.
Job creation is one thing... if it's needed. Creating a job or maintaining a job that can be automated or eliminated is just idiotic. That person could be doing another job to better benefit elsewhere.
I do use Linux, except for the cases where my work demands I use Windows... since I like to keep my hard drives clean, having a folder full of MSI files in/WINNT/ is not my in bag of nuts.
Not to mention, usually only one side is obscured, so how are you to know when it's your turn to go if the light it completely covered? Sometimes the intersection is clear because the light cycles through a side that has no cars so it may appear that it's your turn.
Sure, problem solved, but the summary points out why that's not happening:
We can remove the snow with heat, but the cost of doing that in terms of energy use has not brought any enthusiasm from cities and states that buy these signals,' said the CEO of an LED traffic-signal manufacturer.

I thought of this, but in the snow cover situation, only one side thinks it's a four way stop. You'd have to have a "snow sensor" and shut down all 4 sides of the light for that to work.
Maybe the lights need to take on a new form? What kind of problems would arise from coating each LED's sides with black paint (to replicate the duty of the indirect sun shades) and spacing the LEDs out so snow can pass through them? Or possibly shaping the LED or a cover as a cone shape so that it's harder to cover with snow?
What a single person can do is learn the broad outlines, and look up detailed information as needed.
So the legislation should come with cliff notes? Our driving license examinations should just cover the gist of the laws and we should look the details up after we get out on the road?
This is a red, yellow and green signal. [1] You can find out what they mean by following the link if you are really interested in the details. For now, you just need to know you'll see one of these while driving.

Maybe we should just kind of assume the legality of self defence: shoot first and ask questions later.
The more legislation and complexity there is, the less people will know and the more ignorant we will be.

Well it's no wonder it couldn't fly. You'd be better off with a lead balloon given the density and weight of gold!

If it was written in C, wouldn't the boxes in A and B overwrite it?

The same thing that the color black is good for. Selling stuff to people.
Just the messenger here...

Yep, Midwest snow isn't powdery. It's a very wet snow that sticks to things.

if you look at a cone straight on, it's still a circle. There are also several square LED traffic lights that's I've seen around.
These are the same senses that dictate to them their importance in a merge as well.
It's apparently not an exclusive right of the US of A.

Glass? Does this glass differ from the type of glass found on cars because I can assure you that snow sticks to glass.
