I think there may be a couple large companies that provide Internet satellite views and maps that may be willing to compete for paying for the output of such a device.
When I was young I had a crappy dentist who did lots of terrible work on my mouth. When I was just out of college and unemployed all the crappy dental work started to fall apart.
A dental school gave me free dental work (I only had to pay for certain materials) fixed my teeth and I provided excellent training for several future dentists. All supervised by experienced dental professors. My current dentist tells me the work is excellent, and I paid nearly nothing for it.
So deriding the system of dental schools providing free/cheap work for the poor is really a non-starter. Even the work done by real dentists can be utter crap if they are alcoholic shitbags like my childhood dentist. But of course we "had" to go to him because he was the one dentist who went to our church. (Which may explain part of my hatred of organized religion as well.) At least the dental students are supervised.
Thats nothing. How about £9,936 for a 2.5 meter HDMI cable! - http://goo.gl/VMECV - Now that is pushing the envelope to the maximum. Sadly there will always be idiots with too much money in their pockets who buy this stuff. Everyone should do Digital Electronics 101.
Well, I WOULD pay good money for a list of their customers' e-mail addresses.
Actually, you can get fairly cheap 3rd party power supply bricks for most notebooks. I replaced my Asus netbook power supply for $5.95 for a 3rd party adapter with all proper certifications. Asus had it for $39.95.
Unless they patent their connector (and some do) anyone can make a replacement power supply.
Almost all of my original media (CDs and LPs) for about 60% of my collection were lost in a fire several years ago.
Re-ripping isn't an option. RIAA says if I download a new copy, it is illegal and I have to buy new media, which RIAA claims is only a license to have one copy, which I already bought. Sort of like if I lost the title to my car I couldn't get a new title without buying a new car.
So fuck them. Just upload the music you have. If you bought more than 30% of it you're probably better than most.
In English we have the "Vowel-Consonant-Vowel" general rule for pronunciation. It's not 100% followed, but maybe 90%.
If you see a pattern of vowel-consonant-vowel, you pronounce the first vowel as long. So Iraq and Iran have a long "i" sound, which in English is "eye." (Or "aye" for pirate English.)
Why would anyone want an account on Facebook? More importantly, how on earth is Facebook going to make any money? Ever? Who are the idiots investing in this garbage?
That's what a lot of people were saying a few years back.

You have nothing to fear from the authorities!
Right? Right? Helloooo?
Yeah, just like that stupid anti-competitive Apple has been doing with steep student discounts on their products since 1984!
Microsoft is getting a clue and going after their future market, just like Apple has always done.
But could it measure a Library of Congress of Volkswagens full of ping-pong balls on an aircraft carrier?
Has anyone developed an open protocol for social networks yet?
I've been thinking about doing such a thing, but life keeps getting in the way.

I'm afraid I don't understand your banter.
Could you say it slower?
At least three times in the past year I have found USB sticks on the walkway into my building at work.
Three times I have picked them up and immediately turned them over to the security desk.
Now, that does NOT preclude someone from security being an idiot...

I put all my important records on clay tablets and store them in a cave by my house.

Why is a car reading RSS feeds?
I can cook a meal, change TV channels, adjust the AC, let the dog out and turn on the porch light all while sitting on the couch!
I never have to move! This is truly the most wonderful thing. Standing up and walking around is so pre-21st century!
Wha?

Yep. Some pilots are so good they say "Watch this" when you're a mile from the landing zone and they shut off their engines.
Then they gently pilot the craft to the landing while everyone else inside pisses themselves.
Been there, done that.
I've been saying this for years. And living it.
I have been using computers since the 286 days and I have yet to get a virus of any kind on any of my personal machines
Obviously you don't surf the web while drunk.
Not that I ever...uh...er...
I've always thought a flywheel like this at the base of each windmill would be an awesome way to level out wind power fluctuations.
They're right you know.
My arms are getting really sore.
Well, the missing mass was being held by the Space Pope...
Let's get rid of all typing! Just click on pretty pictures for everything! No one actually needs a keyboard.
Stop being a pussy and just say it. People who don't ask, don't get.
Say: "I believe I have been important to this company and will continue to do so. I would like some stock options."
The worse that can happen is that they can say no.
