True but heaven for trolls, imagine a group working together...what they could accomplish with this type of tool at our disposal.

Sorry that was a troll. More on topic, kudos to Hawking's....
With his ability through writing help to communicate complex scientific ideas to the masses he has made a significant contribution to science. Is that worthy of an award...yes.
The Copley award? Only his peers can tell and they seem to believe his efforts should be rewarded.
When/. polls...if we need to get off this blue marble my vote will yes.
Sorry for beating a dead horse.
"indifference to objective truth is encouraged by the sealing off of one part of the world from another, which makes it harder and harder to discover what is actually happening.

Orwell's beliefs about the control of the past, including the recent past, also derived from his experiences in the Spanish civil war, where he found that "no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain for the first time I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts."

Just a point on your side...
Let's take it one step or maybe a few leaps further, how about incorporating wind power into your intelligent grasp of surface area. How can we make it just as cool to put up a solar powered Christmas display as a wind powered one, granted the overall footprint of our product needs to be considered?
What I see is possibly...what you are pointing out is that there are many areas not considered in the standard approach to profitability in solar.

This is how it's done.
But my immediate thought was...good. We have freedom beyond belief but some things are not allowed. CP Someone else's PI.

Well said.

I want to say something witty funny or insightful but this is just cool.

Your post prompted me to login and post. Something I haven't done in many years. Thanks for the well thought out commentary.
Thanks...that was brilliant. I think there's story in that line if not a movie.
"...and that the real competition will be to embarrass the other races into suicide with the superiority of your art."
Can I use this line?
Brilliant...Truly. Copyright this idea now and sue the performance artist that makes a mint with world wide downloads of a hit single.
I mod you... +1 insightful.
I may get modded troll, offtopic or informative for this but I'll post it anyway. Haven't you noticed there's a war going on?
After having spent an entire Saturday morning reading every word of every post. I've can only find one conclusion to satisfy my mind. Doublethink...
