Why would it be hypocritical? Just because I claim I have personal free speech rights doesn't mean I have to put up with you shouting obscenities in my house.
They can absolutely make it work for a few users, on a few games that aren't lag sensitive. But you have to live within about 250 miles of an onlive datacenter (and that's as the wire travels, not as the crow flies).
Yep, I got very lucky with Guidewire (well, to the extent that I knew the people involved were bound to be the 1%, I was wise to hitch my wagon to their star, but basically I got lucky).
Exactly. And we worked all of this out more than a decade ago, back when games were less sensitive and lower resolution. And our solution used cable return, so we didn't have the bandwidth problem.
Nope. Oddly enough, they stopped paying me entirely when I left. I did earn a combination of salary and worthless stock options while I was there, though. My second try with stock options (Guidewire) turned out somewhat better.
Well, in fairness I didn't consider that either. I could well imagine in the more industrial cities that the sign would begin to show up all over the place.
Well, I don't know if it applies here, but CEOs and peons are typically compensated in different classes of shares, which results in the CEO having some protections in the next bankruptcy that don't apply to the peon's shares.

Could you maybe attack it first? I don't see what's wrong. A company that was out of money restructured, letting go half the staff. That's what happens when the money runs out. One of the original investors decided to double-down, but only put in additional funds for a reduced operation.
Interestingly, we were doing something similar, back in 1990 (ICTV). We had computer gaming over remote hardware using cable return path for the display (cheap custom box for keyboard/mouse). We eventually figured out that this was a fundamentally impossible to win game because of the light speed latency issue. OnLive will figure it out too.
I live in California. It's not on any of the buildings I regularly visit. It's on one store out of a hundred in the mall, not a place I shop at. Gas is the one place I commonly see it. The hardware store does tend to have some stuff labeled, but the Home Depot in my area has mostly been able to eliminate it (for example, most of the kitchen sink kits they sold 5 years ago had the label, now it is down to about 1 in 10 or 1 in 20.). It's pretty easy to avoid buying anything with the label.
A giant asteroid can be ruled out because we haven't seen it. Unless you're worrying about invisible giant asteroids that don't perturb gravity, we're in good shape.
There isn't a rock big enough to do the job near enough to worry about. We have decades before anything large enough but too far away becomes a threat, and our technology already suffices to deflect the largest rocks out there, so we'll just be advancing technology that will make the job cheaper between now and then.
Unless the asteroid large enough to destroy civlization is magically invisible, it's not out there, or not close enough to pose a threat until so long after we've identified it that we'll be able to do something about it.
US CO2 emissions are at their lowest level in 20 years, and we are in talks to do the same for the Chinese. How? By frakking natural gas. Which averts peak oil, and replaces it with peak natural gas.

I'm slightly less surprised. Those things are hard to sell in CA, so they tend to get dumped on other markets.

What did you want to have happen?

I very rarely see the material that cause cancer warning, and I've bought only one thing in the last decade that had such a label.
I think the most popular theory going is to paint the surface to change the albedo.
No, they don't move that fast.
Embryos die all the time, even with natural conception. Death is not a synonym for destruction.
An expert by definition isn't wrong. All those people were were scientists. Being proven wrong demonstrates your non-expertise.

Yeah those quotes around the 'experts' are very important. Actual experts have never been wrong.
Asteroid can be ruled out. There's nothing sufficiently large to destroy civilization and also on a near collision path.
There's no sufficiently nearby candidate star to kill us with a gamma ray pulse. Giant asteroid can also be ruled out.
And in addition to my other comment, my UID and comment history will probably suggest that I predate COINTELPRO thinking.
