an interesting experiment would be too see how much hardware is needed to make Firefox reasonably fast on Win 2k, vs. how much to make it run as fast on Win 7.
There are many things to get this worked up about. That is not one of them. It helps put things in perspective if you imagine walking up to someone in the street and saying this to their face.
GP said $2000 a month, and with the big deal you were making about it, I'll assume that's what you meant instead of $2000 a year.
For the sake of argument, lets assume that one in 100 people have a terrible condition that costs them $2000 per month. Are you too cheap to spend $20 per month so that someone can afford to, you know, not die? Would it change your mind if that someone was you? Or your son?
I don't think you understood. If / when you sell your home, you would pay taxes on the $800,000 - $250,000 = $550,000 that you did make. Actually, it should be adjusted for inflation, so the difference would be closer to $450k.
an old battery that isn't good enough for a car any more still has some life left, even if it has reduced capacity and power. PG&E has already committed to buying old BEV batteries for load levelling purposes. this would be especially important for intermittent energy sources like wind and solar.
Current lithium ion cells aren't economical to recycle because it costs more to collect and sort them than you get. this would be much different if they were larger, mostly similar, and all in one place.
that's 2 months from the time you turn it on to the time it's ready to use. after that you leave it on, and throw as much stuff up there as you like.
Launch rate capacity of a launch loop is ultimately limited by the temperature and cooling rate of the rotor to 80 per hour, but that would require a 17 GW power station; a more modest 500 MW power station is sufficient for 35 launches per day.
does anyone know if there are any near Earth asteroids or comets that are close/small/slow enough to drag into earth orbit? that could be the beginnings of industry in space, possibly used to construct a space colony.
Mars' crust is very rich in iron, the red colour is from the rust. It's atmosphere is about 1% of Earth's, for the purposes of stepping outside, it's not much different from space.
The Apollo program and the Minuteman missile are responsible for reducing the cost of integrated circuits to that affordable by mere mortals. If it weren't for them, we would have probably pursued cheaper discrete electronics for much longer. If microcomputers were even invented by now, you would probably be using something equivalent to a Commodore 64.
the Tsar Bomba was originally supposed to have been 100Mt, but it was determined that any aircraft large enough to carry it would have been unable to fly high or fast enough to avoid being destroyed by it.

So I should spend 700 to 1000 dollars on a new computer that can run windows 7 and office 2007 because they're as good as XP and 2000?
Will modern web browsers run on Win2k?
Yes.

So you'd have no problem posting all your transaction records here then?
It's the largest number that will fit in a double.
France: 843
Russia: 860
Norway: 872
United Kingdom: 927
Iceland: 930
Poland: 960
Denmark: 980
Spain: 1492
United States: 1776
I'd list more but I got bored.
yes, because water-boarding is actually a type of spa treatment.
Yeah! Greedy taxpayers, build your own roads!

good luck getting Nintendo to sign your modded game.
Germany is doing nothing of the sort. One German lawyer is.
Your mention of the FCC is a bit off topic (this story is about Canadian law).

Iran had an "external interfering force" alright. The United States.
