Well, there were 19, but one quit so 18. And they specifically chose college undergrads that don't fancy themselves programmers. I think the lesson learned is that Perl is not a beginner's language.
Solar irradiance near Earth is 1.3kW/m^2. Simply plugging in a steam turbine from a modern coal plant needs ((1 - 0.42)*1300kW/m^2) / (5.67e8W/m^2K^4 * 300K^4) = 1.64m^2 of radiator. You could probably do a lot better using exotic materials to raise T(hot). Cost of materials factors less when you're bringing it to space. I don't know what optimal T(cold) is, lower increases efficiency, higher needs smaller radiators. Probably depends on the relative costs of collectors and radiators. Collectors would be pretty cheap, basically a giant silver umbrella-like parabola.
That's already happened, to the tune of $200 billion dollars. You were supposed to get 45Mbits to 86 million homes for that. Instead they just redefined "broadband" to mean 200kbits.
You'd likely also be able to find a way to drag a wire 1 mile without spending tens of thousands of dollars.
You misunderstand GP. He can drag a mile of wire for less than tens of thousands of dollars, but the provider won't provision it. They will only provision it if he pays tens of thousands of dollars for them to pull it.
Which are thought to be Tyrian shekels of 1.38 troy ounces each. At current price of 35 USD per troy ounce, Judas turned in Jesus for less than $1,500.
Which is 50,000 times GP's stated $0.03 per person.
Why are we're supposed to provide your parents with broadband?
They also pounced on me for wanting something subsidized. Except you're not subsidizing me one thin dime. The phone cable is already in the ground. All I need is a DSLAM in the local SAI cabinet, *which I volunteered to purchase myself*.
I notice too that you have fiber (and probably DSL), but aren't willing to pay to have them installed yourself.
I've voluntered to *BUY* them a frickin' VDSL2 DSLAM and give it to them...
I have asked Charter if they could provision single-mode fiber if I pulled it to the road.
I'm not really sure what your position is on it. You say that it's useless except for lynch mobs, but the rest of your post makes it sound like you think this is a good thing. The distinction between "pedophile" and "child molester" is important. A pedophile is "...typically characterized by a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children." The only problem is when the pedophile acts on that interest.
I haven't been able to find a reference to a 514 http status code. What does it mean?
But people don't want good models. They want models that predict massive proffits. Doubly so when they're paid on commision and it's someone else's money.
I'm ignoring you when you say this because otherwise I'm forced to think you are crazy.
that's like trying to find the area of a circle using a single triangle and is never going to work.
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.
Read the bit under "explantion" and then consider that time while moving and in the lower orbit matters because gravity hasn't gone away.
Still don't know what you are saying here. There are only two thrusts in a Hohmann (note spelling) transfer and in the ideal case they are assumed to be instantaneous.
... and instead of going to a lower orbit ending up on the same one.
You're going to do better than this. If you accelerate in any direction you are in a different orbit.
Anyway, maybe from your 1D attempt at considering a 180 change by decellerating back to zero velocity (which by your 1D model would then put the object in the centre of the earth)...
Where did you get this? The relevant line is "If you slowed yourself by 5m/s..."
...you might have got a bit of a rough idea that moving around in the same orbit is not so trivial as a poster suggested a long way above.
That's why it's stupid and no one does it. You transfer to a different orbit and wait for the right phase.
...actually understand what a Holman transfer is instead of just bringing it up as if it's a magical incantation.
I know what a Hohmann transfer is. You can't even spell it. Go read it again. Come back when you get it.
Actually, there's a problem where prosthetic limbs aren't nearly as heavy as the parts they replace. Loosing a 5-10kg arm is pretty bad for your spine.
Until the patent can be overturned, baseball organizations are complying by sitting, breathing, passing gas and scratching the right testicle, which is completely different.

Stars are too hot for compounds to exist in them. The componds are actually synthesized in what TFA calls the circumstellar enviroment.
I can't be thinking in one dimension. Circles and ellipses don't exist in one dimension.
Of course if you ignore time any extra fuel costs due to gravity working on the object over time also get ignored...
There are no "extra fuel costs." Where did you get that idea? Better question: what do you think would happen if I waited forever?

Hate to break it to you but by the standards of the rest of the world US internet sucks. Or is 100Mbits for $60/mo the norm?
That's already happened, to the tune of $200 billion dollars. You were supposed to get 45Mbits to 86 million homes for that. Instead they just redefined "broadband" to mean 200kbits.
Yeah, all those regulated monopolies in Europe have terrible service.
In Europe government regulated monopolies get you 100Mbits for $40/mo.
You'd likely also be able to find a way to drag a wire 1 mile without spending tens of thousands of dollars.

Then the problem is that your grandparents aren't willing to pay for internet service which is more than just "parts and labor".
Your internet service had a ten thousand dollar sign up fee?

You need to work on your reading comprehension.
Please explain the logic that lead you to this conclusion.
Please specify where GP says he wants you to pay for his parent's internet access.

Is this supposed to be sarcastic? Sometimes they shoot you for no reason at all.
Teach your kids Common Sense
You have to know something before you can teach it. Doesn't stop a lot of people from trying of course.

You seem to be confusing "pedophile" with "child molester."
You are still only doing it as 1D

Sometimes the only way to get something fixed is to break it all the way.

Maybe... If other C block bidders could have made more money by charging for inherent features, they could have bid a lot more.
