Well, I am. And we've been through this before. http://www.head-fi.org/t/41536... What Neil Young "discovered": Basically, don't run your music through crappy mixing boards, filter the good parts out, or compress the shit out of it, or use lossy compression,and it will sound better. You don't need gold plated cables or vacuum tubes.
They could move to Detroit (pronounced DEE- troit by hillbillies) where there's lots of roads, rail lines, empty factories and houses, and build wind turbines and solar panels.
Sure beats going into a hole in the ground to dig coal.
... has mountains, trees, and cows. My commute is 13 minutes through rural country. I cross country ski out my back door. Housing costs a quarter of what it is in Seattle. As for fresh water, I have 8 inches of it on my driveway right now, you can have all you want, just have to melt it first before drinking.
I toured Hawai'i in January (and enjoyed Molokai for a week), and yes it's a nice place to visit. I think the worst part of living there would be the isolation from the rest of the world. Honolulu gave me claustrophobia.
Microwave transmission has been proposed for many years, ever since magnetrons were invented, but never gets past the proof of concept stage, if it even gets past the back of the envelope calculation stage. The inefficiencies are too high.

Get the reusable filter, and fill it with your own grind. Sometimes I make half-caf, chocolate, tea, or make a second cup with the used grinds and put in a little instant for the caffeine.
I got a little keurig from my dad, who said the packaged k-cups were too strong (I made 2 cups from each!). When this one fries I'll go back to my Mr. Coffee. the machine is terribly complicated; I took one apart and never did figure out what was wrong with it. Mine will occasionally refuse to brew, requiring a cold reboot (not sure what OS it uses).
Actually, Linux is better than Windows for the granny market, and especially if you are providing IT services pro bono. If you're selling your time, Windows will keep you employed.
I dunno about you, but I get address labels every freaking day from a wide range of charities. Apparently recent research has shown it ups their take if they send you this stuff (along with a note pad, nickel, cards...). Unless you send out a lot of snail mail (more than one a month, for me), what else are they good for?
Slashdot Mirror
copy.com (https://copy.com?r=Zv8zHi) and ubuntuone have clients that integrate with Linux file managers too.
I keep a few Linux ISOs at Microsoft's cloud, just for fun. Sky drive, or whatever they call it now.

You could pay the greenies picketing your plants the $2B and maybe they'd go home.
You park UNDER them. And your car stays cool.
I still have one of those punches. Doesn't get a lot of use any more. Kids nowadays don't appreciate ....what was I talking about?
"....all the products of technology get cheaper every year except cars?"
And internet service. And phone service. Cable service.
Hmmm, protected monopolies.
My Mint menu has a start button (well, right now it says, "What is thy bidding, Master?"), and the menu is less confusing.

I'm Green and Conservative, because there are things worth conserving. Don't lump me in with Tea Partiers.
>>It is not possible to check every application to see if it is harmless or not. Nobody has those kinds of resources.
Well, Canonical does. Google can't afford it?
Too bad Ballmer didn't continue as CEO, right until the bankruptcy.
That was $99 a year.
Has Keurig also gone to an embedded windows OS? Maybe it will have a touch screen with colored blocks.
Can't imagine what functionality they will include, besides making coffee at high cost.

You could set the update time to anything your little heart desired, if you had enough mental capacity.
I do enjoy the glitches and bugs of openSuSE 13.1.... what are they, again??
Then they laugh at you (Scroogled)
Then they fight you (free Windows)
Then you win.

They could keep all that other stuff and get rid of that one totally batshit expensive system. Well, a carrier or two also.

Paint pens work well too. Better than sharpies.
Even if Honda gave you a car for free?
