    Actually, a scientific study was done that found the reflective aspects of contrails are more than offset by the IR reflective qualities of the water vapor. This means your solution of more jets will cause more warming, not less.

    Should we also add labels "may contain dihydrogen monoxyde"? That has about as valid a use as adding GMO labels.

    In all honesty, if you want GMO labels, you might as well add them to ever piece of food grown, as there isn't a food plant that hasn't been genetically modified in some way. Or are you trying to say that gene splicing done before the genetics revolution is somehow not the same?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

    Do you refuse to drink French wine because they used genetic modification techniques to fight the wine blight?

    Food packaging is designed to inform about possible issues (may contain nuts), not the latest idiocy (GMO). Demanding that food makers add GMO labeling makes no sense without some kind of scientific study proving harm, or government intervention. So if you want to be anti science, you can petition your representative to make a law requiring GMO labels on all food, but it will be just as silly as it is in Europe.

    Adding TV service to my already existing Internet service with Verizon cost just the rental fee for the cablebox/cablecard. That surprised me, but their bundling makes it all work. It would cost the same again if I added phone service as well. I am not sure why this is the case, but it appears to just be the way it works for them.

    That's why the food industry resists GMO labeling

    Perhaps that is because all of the GMO labeling is an attempt at scare tactics as there is no scientific evidence of harm. When you can produce any kind of indication of a possible harm from GMO, rather than the equivalent of anti-vax arguments, perhaps there will be a reason to have markings on packaging. Until then, you are just trying to put scare quotes on food packaging for no reason at all.

    Which is what this report is. The EPA went out and tested water, tested fracking wells, but apparently, it is not good enough for the OP. It seems that the OP will trust no evidence that there is no issue, and just wants fracking to end at all costs (including $4 a gallon gas).

    Upgrades are pretty much brain dead simple now. Throw in a new hard drive and off you go. You can also add USB or eSATA hard drives, which is as simple as it can be.

    Don't add FUD.

    A Tivo can have up to 16 TB of storage. Sure you can get more into a computer, but this is still huge.

    Recordings are not trapped in the Tivo, Tivo Desktop is a free piece of software that pulls them off, and they can then easily be converted to MPeg, or just us kmttg. This process is just as complicated as MCE with MCEBuddy. I would like to go to MP4 like MCEBuddy, instead of MPEG with kmttg.

    You do realize that multimode fiber is good past 40Gbit right? This is what is used to run high speed connections, no modifications needed. Why would you rerun the fiber at all when all you need to do is upgrade the transceivers?

    I agreed with putting in conduits, I am also suggesting things to put into those conduits which ARE future proof. Multimode fiber is the high bandwidth stuff. Single mode fiber is the long range stuff. Multimode is good for a very long time, and would not be a mistake. The cat 7 might need to be replaced in the future, but unlikely the fiber would ever have to be replaced.
