Time to hit the internets for some basics. Use the same search terms as you've just typed in and use the homework-helper sites for high school and college. Some professors (and good HS teachers) know their students need more than just lecture in class. Also, visit Tube-U (youtube) and watch actual science experiments in progress. Go to Wiki places for dry descriptions and SOURCES you can actually look up at your local public library. Specifics? chemistry.about.com, chem1.com, google... Don't be afraid to take notes; if you have a question the (course/video/text) doesn't answer you will be able to look it up later. Lay in a good supply of baking soda, vinegar and don't forget to notify the DHS you're interested in becoming a Mad Scientist.
We lived in rural (I could see the nearest town 7 miles away on the plains) Colorado in 1996. For me, a 25 mile commute to a tech firm for support work. I had all the internet I could eat (then still almost fresh).
For the wife, life on the farm, make the best of what technology we had was the rule. We had party-line telephone access. No personal calls allowed to my work, so she'd dial up my company's server on the old 286 we had, login as me, use shell to run mail, send me a message, then logoff. If a neighbor had to make a phone call... we learned more about NO CARRIER than we cared. On that system it took her a few minutes to send me a message, where today she uses sms on a cell phone to ask the same questions: what time home for dinner? But it's me asking as she's the primary earner now.
The punch line here is that in 1996 the telco was laying fiber to our doorstep. Fiber, and we were listening for a distinctive ring!
When I was in the first grade (1968ish), we had a Sears and Roebuck television set with whatever special warranty for service. This was a big deal, because it went past the "mechanical massage" stage of repair, so dad called the Sears Television Repairman to the house. All I remember of this is: 1. the nice man sticking a screwdriver into the back of the set 2. a loud POOF 3. tiny bits of foil floating amid all the smoke in the living room and 4. the nice man says "yup, this is going into the shop"
The same cost analysis applies to coal plants as well if you consider regulating and capturing coal's pollutants in the same manner as we do nuclear contaminants. The same ground-chemical pollution from a nuclear plant simply does not exist as it does for a coal plant. Additionally, nuclear fuel has a greater ability to be recycled than does used coal, we just have to DO it.
You're correct that it ain't cheap, but the costs probably run pretty equally in the long run.
You buy a car to drive it, and figure out how to adjust the seats. You tell your mechanic to change the oil because most of us couldn't be bothered to do it ourselves, or we know enough to recycle the used oil and don't dump it on the ground.
People gonna buy computers and drive them whether or not they care about AV. They figure out how to use basic software unless they have aptitudes approaching what most./ers claim. My clients' computers might have an antivirus program or not, but most rely on my instruction to update the signatures manually or to set the program to update itself.
And in other news, Click and Clack, also known as the Tappet Brothers, have started a PC repair service in addition to their regularly scheduled car show. Expect great things from the Car Guys as they venture into the world of IT.
Hey, it's got wires and fans right? Shouldn't be any trouble fixing them at all. Coupla whacks and you're good. But if it starts clicking when you take a turn you'd better back up and rebuild it.
But your analogy isn't complete. It would be like me going up to you, you have a shirt on that says "Caution: You will be sucker-punched" and me saying, "OK, sucker punch me."
My shirt has a clause stating "you may opt-out of the sucker-punch by hitting me first".
In the late 90s and into the early 00s a few MS components and some legitimate DLLs were identified as virus laden. I solved the problem on my work machine by formatting the HD and installing RH-7, then VMWare for the only windows-dependent executable I couldn't get to run on wine. I had the fastest software package in-house and it made a kick-ass Quake server.
Make sure they're protected well from the elements.
If you pack them in salt, the cured drives could last for several years. A little spice, and the data will have just the right flavor when the drives are finally used.
The ancient Egyptians used ceremonial drives prepared in special enbalming fluids to accompany their kings on the journey to the afterlife. Little wooden server rooms on the ceremonial boats gave hope to the SysAdmin^H^H^H^H^H^HScribes of everlasting employment. If the drive wieghed more than a feather upon the king's judgement, he would be required to spend time slaving for the BOFH before ascension.
I did the same thing for my parents, without the benefit of a carousel-scanner adapter. I have an Olympus ES-10, parallel/SCSI. I used parallel, Win98 to drive it, had no problem other than it was slow. Does slides and negatives with adapter/holder, nice scanner, okay software.
I was bummed 'cuz I didn't know enough about Linux at the time to make it work on my own machine, I had to use my kid's old game box. yech.

If you're going to read Einstein, pick up his 1916 treatise "Relativity: The Special and The General Theory." Ripping good friction.

More like getting retreads.

We DO say Nintendos, LEGOs and Barbies. We's all American!
oh, btw, it's Hot Wheels without the extra -es in our favorite vernacular.
kthxbye.

First thing I thought of when I saw the title. Nearly made me flip the big red switch!
Finally some wiseacre from Hoboken gets his turn on stage.
He looks at the crowd with trepidation, and speaks slowly into the mic, "902,187."
The crowd stares blankly at him, then erupts into riotous laughter.
The young comiedian quizzes his mentor, "what was that about?"
The older comic, wiping a tear from his eye, replied, "We haven't heard that one before!"
