Let's see: many workstations connected to a central server that contains all of the data storage and applications. All controlled by a central IT department. Where have I heard of this before?
I hear the echo of someone behind a glass wall asking me why I need anything more than punchcards and green bar paper..
2000 years for the light, so any matter would take much longer.
As for effect of the light, 2000 LY is 126,000,000 AU, so if a supernova is 5 B times as bright as the sun, then it will appear to be 5e9 / 1.26e8 ^ 2 = 3e-7 as bright as the sun from Earth.
SAN storage is like the internet 20 years ago, wide open. Storage folks are starting to realize that when you have a lot of computers connected to a single RAID box, you need better protection of the data. Look for encrypted storage protocols to be built in at the hardware level. This will pave the way for running iSCSI over the internet to do remote copy and backup, for example.
So, given the American system, a third party is limited in how it can form.
It can generate funding by having a billionaire as candidate - Steve Forbes or Ross Perot.
It can push the agenda as I suggested above, example Jesse Jackson.
Or it can work in the grass roots as you suggested, school boards and town councils. This seems to be where the right wing succeeds, creationists and right-to-life advocates. The National Front in France only has 16%, but they have some control because they know how to use popular issues like immigration and language. I think the Republican leadership must be studying them.
Given that America doesn't reward fringe parties with a coalition government, none of these strategies seems likely to succeed in the sense of your definition, creating national political power. Perhaps what needs to happen is force more openness into the earlier stages of the election cycle and allow more participation by the voters.
Success doesn't have to be measured by winning elections.
A popular single issue candidate can force the two main party candidates to change their positions. This may be sufficient. The Pirate Party in Sweden is not likely to gain a majority in Parliament, but it may get the candidates to make statements protective of people's IP rights.
In a big company, lack of communication can be a bigger obstacle to getting your job done than ability. The ones hanging around the bubbler might learn more about what's going on, and know who to call when they have a problem or need information. The ones grinding away in their cube just send stuff up the chain of command. And I know how weak the links can be in those chains.
I think the window of your own lifetime is affecting your judgement. When North America was first invaded by the Europeans, they were "free" to kill the native inhabitants, take and settle any land, build or take whatever they needed. As population density increases, the need for law increases, and the restrictions on individuals increase proportionately. Everyone remembers a less restrictive time and always has. The cattlemen of the Wild West complained about farmers fencing in the "free" range. Now that every square foot is owned, managed, and fenced the restrictions are becoming more abstract: threatening speech, gang colors, terrorist blogs.
There isn't much evidence that people have changed. Studies of teen violence, for example, show about the same levels today as in the 1950s. People follow the requirements of the culture in which they live, and break the rules when doing so is in their interest. There are just many more rules today. The idea of having to come to a stop on a deserted street in the middle of the night because a light is a particular color has always seemed ridiculous to me. I try to imagine Jeremiah Johnson's reaction. I think the traffic light would fare badly.
Feingold opposes the Iraq war, the death penalty, the Patriot Act, NSA wiretaps and No Child Left Behind. So far I think he's a decent candidate, certainly miles ahead of Hillary. Hope he runs in 2008.
Perhaps you should research your analogy a little. Zambia banned GM food partly because if it contaminates their native crop, then they will no longer be able to export to Europe. Since Europe requires labelling GM food, there is no market; people won't buy it. Second, look up "starlink" which is the corn that was being distributed in Zambia. It had not been approved for human consumption in the US at the time of the ban. There are two sides to every story.
Please turn over the identity of the poster with the initials "AC". He or she is implicated in over 10,000 threats against the government and Microsoft.
Stephen Jay Gould attacked the mainstream continuous evolution theory and wrote a paper on punctuated equilibrium in 1972. Look how it ended his career.
Also, all road signs only tell you nearby towns like: Peabody right or Gloucester left. Never the highway name. Its all part of the plan to confound foreign terrorists trying to drive here. That and rotaries.

It's a BIOS setting. You have to turn it on at conception.

What thief?
It looks to me like the guy left his phone on the train and somebody picked it up and is using it. He wasn't robbed at gunpoint, he's just a loser.

What units are on the two axes of this spiral? Why isn't it nested tetrahedrons?
Most software which is small has a really good library behind it.
The problem with their theory is that there seems to be a great deal of prior art for "negative know-how".
EMC getting away from storage would be nuts.

It measures two things:

1) How many people will stay interested enough to finish the quiz.
2) Free focus group when article is posted on
