The question would be why in America you have forsaken areas of No Man's Land where no local government will accept responsibility for provinding emergency services.
Some locations are just that "No Man's Land" and are very rural. Emergency services response times would be far to great to save some folks/structures.
Too bad there's other drivers on the road, otherwise I'd say "let them text while driving until they're dead".
Driving a car is not a right, it's a privilege. You're supposed to know how to drive safely. I know it would cost a lot but the roads would be safer if everyone was forced to pass a driving test every year or so. Even once a decade would be better than the "pass the test once, drive until you're dead" formula that we have now.
How long have you been licensed to drive? Simply renewing your license every 4 years or so is a freakin' nightmare in some cities.
Imagine what it would be like to have to take a driving test every year?
Speeding is also an obvious risk. People do it anyways.
Going 60 in a 55 mph zone is considered speeding. I don't consider myself to be more at risk in that case. However, if you mean excessive speeding like 75 or 80 in a 55 then I agree.
You also should include those dopes who drive too slow and refuse to speed up and move over so others can get around them . . . they are as much if not more of a risk than so called speeders IMO.
They sure do. but at least you can send out untrained crews across the area and ID where your breaks are exactly, so the next available trained repair crew and come out and attend to it.. repairing utilities in a vault or in a trench isn't as easy.
No, it may not be as easy to identify a break on a buried line versus a high line, but the likelihood of a problem occurring with a buried line aren't as high as they are with a high line (IMO) in my neck of the woods. Sure, a backhoe or trencher may cut a line, but I think in that case the problem area is pretty apparent.
I would also suggest that censoring games, keeping your kids from seeing any violence until they're whatever age, is not exactly my definition of "good parenting."
How so? There are certain things in life that kids under a certain age just should not be exposed to. Period. As a parent it is up to me to make that decision for my daughters. Not Uncle Sam's.
It's harder than that, since you have to communicate with your kid to tell them what it means, and put it in context, know if they are ready even though they might be younger or older than the 16/18 whatever cutoff.
This I can agree with . . . each situation is different. Some kids mature faster than others.
I've known 12 year olds who can handle violence in videogames better than my 20 something downstairs neighbor who has anger management issues
(to be fair, maybe he doesn't have anger management issues, he might just be a racist and have a very bad microphone on his xbox)
But that 12 year-old may be who turns into that 20 year-old some day . . . and does have anger issues due to early exposure to stuff.
The US DOJ and EU Court will soon be knocking on Microsoft's door. Users are supposed to be able to choose their browser, and never need to use IE.
Some parts of SharePoint won't work on anything but IE. Specifically the Project Server 2010 Web App . . . I've tried to use it in Firefox but can't until I switch to IE.

Now that you mention it I guess that's true . . .
So you're not all for the get a free hooker with your exploit ad?
But yes, Altamonte is indeed nice as the GP says. For them balmy days, they could run with the top up, I guess.
Or just open the hatch . . .
Maybe not, but its more common than some folks realize.

If you're not watching the road it doesn't matter how fast you drive.
Yeah, as if only the safety of the driver and passengers of the car mattered.
Where did I even remotely mention anything close to that?
On an interstate the safety of drivers and passengers is pretty much all that matters unless you're driving through a construction zone.
There's a difference between speeding on a main highway versus a school zone or residential area.
I for one wouldn't shed a tear if you were killed or badly injured as a consequence of your antisocial behaviour.
Right back atcha babe . . .

Which means that if they catch you doing it at a stop light, they don't have to wait until you've gone a ways down the road to pull you over.
Wait a second . . . so now we're after people who text while stopped at a stop light?

Aren't most passenger side airbags only active when the weight sensor in the seat is triggered?
That can be remedied by blocking certain USB devices and managing removable media.
Should've added that she was a blonde cheerleader for even greater emphasis.
Very good point . . . forgot about you guys in the "bowl".
They sure do. but at least you can send out untrained crews across the area and ID where your breaks are exactly, so the next available trained repair crew and come out and attend to it.. repairing utilities in a vault or in a trench isn't as easy.

Try maintaining those trenches too.
So trench maintenance is THAT big of a problem? OK.
Tornadoes, high winds and ice storms wreak havoc on power lines . . .
Which is why I urge folks to only use SharePoint as a last resort. I've had more success using Joomla! and folks don't seem to miss SharePoint.

Love the fact that you cite lack of free speech, yet cite burning the flag and protesting as things that you can legally do in this country.
I swear, most Americans don't realize how good we actually have it.
But don't you dare try to burn a copy of the quran . . .
I know there are multiple people involved. I actually figured it would be higher.
57,000 sounds like a lot of sites, but when they more than likely all use a few of the same templates it isn't that difficult to accomplish.
Did anyone know about Rackspace's involvement before they made it public?
They can transfer the risk all they want, but they are still ultimately responsible.
Might be time to start the /. internet militia . . .
