We raise hell because they are butchers about it, at least in south jersey (PSE&G). Have a 300 year old tree near the lines? Let's cut down 80% of it so we dont have to come back and trim again in the next 20 years.

That's just HR Drones looking for their beloved checklist items. Someday they will learn, I hope.

If I have a copy of software on a floppy diskette, and I run a magnet by it, is it not at least somewhat ruined? What if that was the only location where that software existed? Isn't it "lost" or degraded? Software is not magically ported or retained. The electrons _can_ get screwed up, even on "good" media. This happens to all kinds of media, and when transferring to/from. Time will claim all copies.

The media the code lives on is physical, and does suffer from degradation.

Jim Beam is the worst bourbon. Get some Old Granddad 100 or Buffalo Trace.

All these comments and not one single reference to The FIfth Element's bartender in the ship port. ... YOU WANT SOME MORE?

The data plans are what is limited and expensive. Free/unlimited SMS comes with most of the basic packages.
