I think your math is off a bit. Even with 0% investment, $900,000/240 months = 3750/month. With 5% returns it's closer to $2250/month. That's still implies an income well above average, but not quite as bad as you list.
Umm.. yes it would be a lot harder, and take a lot more fuel to stay up for longer. They are only hitting 65mi AGL. That's technically in space, but just barely (either 62 or 50 miles depending on who's counting). To stay up for an hour or so, they would have to reach something near Low Earth Orbit (LEO). For reference, the ISS is in LEO, and it takes ~90 minutes to complete one orbit. It's orbiting at an altitude of 190mi. Besides, weightless is a rather misleading term. Gravity is still pulling them down at nearly the same rate as it is on the ground (minus a percent or so). They are just falling (decelerating) at the same rate as the craft, and hence have no apparent weight,
But, if someone is tailgating you, and you stop for the red and rear ended, that's their fault, and their insurance can pay. I'd rather go that route than risk running the light. (In which case damages would be my fault)
Wait a damn second here. You are against warning people about tsunamis because some might use it as a chance for looting? Personally, if there is a giant wall of watery death heading my way, I'd like to know about it. If some moron decides to stay behind to grab my stuff, I'll the aforementioned wall of watery death deal with him, wash away all evidence, including the moron himself.
But people have 'known' that most cars made by the big 3 sucked for decades. All of the various imports have been trumpeting their safety and reliability as a major selling point. (And importantly people accepted it as true). When a car manufacturer in that position starts have issues people are more likely to notice.
Well, that would only be true if "greedy" also implied "traffic cop". I mean, calling something a "cat" implies that it is a "mammal". The opposite is not true. (Even if one of my coworkers disagrees)
I'm always confused as to how people can consider the isthmus of Panama to not be enough to separate the Americas into two continents, but at the same time the Suez isthmus is twice as wide, but yet makes Africa a separate continent.

How does this provide any security? All the fake site needs to do is get the picture from the BoA site. (Heck a well written script could cause your machine to do it for them.) Once that happens you are no better off than you were before, and likely worse (Since you are training people to assume that "picture means legit", instead of other more secure methods.
I hear Mars might become a substitute for Earth in the future. That could really impact the value of your Earth and depreciate the assets in your non-diversified Earth portfolio.
So, the only logical response that I can see is blow up Mars. It will also teach that damn Marvin a lesson. "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be a mars-shattering kaboom!"
What I'd really like is for drivers to be taught how to deal with distractions. Distractions should actually be part of the training (once the basics are mastered) and part of the driving test.
Forget testing about dealing with distractions, the US needs to start testing basic driving ability.
If participants or protestors won't shut up and keep disrupting the event, they should get kicked out by security.
Why don't you read what actually happened instead of making up your own version and commenting about it?
From what I can tell, all the protestors did was put up flyers and banners. The Novell reps then told the organizers that the organizers would not be getting their sponsor money if the banners and flyers remained up. The organizers then demanded that the protestors take them down; the protestors refused. The organizers then decided to call the cops and forcibly remove the protestors, the banners, and any visual documentation of their actions.
So, basically the protesters disrupted the event and got the cops called when they refused to stop?

Hey, it's not like there's other places in the world where people live quite safely below sea level. Of course that does involve these big lumps of sand and rocks to keep the water out, and those take taxes(hiss, spit!) to build.
Most cars do at least 40MPG with many going above that.
Which gallons though? 40MPG(imperial) is only 33 MPG(US), which isn't that that impressive. There are plenty of US cars that do that as well. It's just that many people in the US didn't see the need up till now, compared to Europe. I would say that's largely due to the very low gasoline taxes in the US.
Actually, the logic behind those questions is a fair bit more straight forward. If you answer yes, they don't let you in. If you lie and say no, and they find out, they have cause (perjury) to lock you up(and deport you when they get around to it).
Why wouldn't Google use Google Apps for their internal webmail?
The only reasons I've seen listed in the discussion for other companies not to use google apps are privacy and unprofessional. Privacy: Oh no! Google is can read Google's email! Unprofessional: Oh no! Google email coming from google servers.
Now individual people might dislike the webmail interface, but as a I'm pretty sure the people in charge of Google do like it.
Dreamhost didn't host the mail before. It's run through SquirrelMail. I write this not because I'm some sort of pontificating intarwebs expert with illogical expectations and notions... Not only are you not an expert, but you don't even know what you are talking about. Squirrel Mail is a web based mail app, not a mail host. Saying Squirrel Mail is an email host is like saying that Thunderbird is an email host.

So, as long as the casino always gives you a penny, or even a just shiny rock back on each bet, it's not gambling?

Building the space elevator out of human bodies. I'm intrigued.

What, the .1% of the US land mass that is west of the fault? How is that even comparable?
