This could have frigtening implications for the future. Are we getting dumber? After all, everyone knows that C++ programmers are smarter than everybody else.
With the choice of high speed providers for most people being limited to 2 or 3 at best, we will see an oligopolistic pricing model much like that in cellular service where all providers passively collude in a price structure that maintains high profits.
"It's also a proof that the entire class of SW radios that could also possibly converge CDMA, GSM and various other radio networks for opportunistic handoffs by a single device, a 'universal radio' that could converge all wireless device types into a single device that can use content formerly locked into a single radio type."
1) The above is not a sentence. You haven't bothered to say what it proves even as it converges.
2) "SW" radio means short wave. That acronym is already taken.

The mere existence of hail belies your ignorance. Add the additional drag induced by the remnants of his tattered chute and it becomes obvious your 9th grade general science curriculum needs a bit of updating.
Ever hear of convective overshoot? No? You mean you just jump from low altitudes on calm days?
I think I'll just stick to the first-hand account of a jet pilot with thousands of hours of flight time along with the corroborations by the US Navy and NOAA.

You don't know what you are talking about as you obviously have no clue about the intensity of winds aloft.

It was not a physics thought experiment!!! He was caught in the wild air currents of a major storm moving along the jet stream:

In 1960 William Rankin ejected from his F8U Crusader jet at 48,000 feet and his parachute was ripped away in the jet stream. He traveled 150 miles and didn't come down for an hour.
There are more stories like it here:

Solar panels convert to electricity pnly a very small fraction of the photons that hit them. The rest are either absorbed as heat or reflected back into space. I doubt they absorb more energy than dark sand or the ocean.
It is a closed system. Just a lot more complex than you think. Most tsunami energy is refracted around islands but those that visibly hit beaches are reflected back. The wave is less coherent but is still there.
The major cause of loss of energy in large open ocean waves is the friction of water and air molecules.
No you are wrong. Most of the waves energy is reflected back into the ocean and can be readily observed as various rip currents. BTW. it is side shore rip currents that do most of the erosion at sandy beaches.

You didn't make a point. You only reported data.
If you are paying your sysadmins more than your senior DBA's then you are in serious trouble.

What it is, is OS/360.
Has anyone actually read the entire article? No wonder they can't get any dates!
"internet = series of tubes" I like that simile! BTW, who is Ted Stevens?

Don't hold your breath waiting for the Democrat congress to cut back on farm subsidies.
Did he mean something to you?

Running 400 boxes 24/7 is hardly a trivial expense.
The non-profit is still going to have to make money. Crawling the web and returning results to queries is quite hardware and energy intensive.
