I really didn't mean to imply that VOIP would work well over satellite.
Looking at a map, I expect Tuscola has among the worst coverage for miles, as it is (roughly) equidistant from m-46, 83 and 15; I get fairly reasonable coverage in the rural part of Michigan that I live in (but I'm probably close enough to the freeway to benefit from that coverage, a few miles).
Basically anyone who receives POTS because of government mandate (there are lots of low density areas where the Telcos have not bothered to put in the infrastructure to handle DSL).
Wireless is a choice for phone there, but VOIP isn't going to be real awesome over satellite (which is the high speed 'option' (it is pretty expensive)).
They 'retrofitted secret military space shuttles', so really (in the context of the movie), the mission was so important that they didn't take (the time to pull) them out.
If you are going to criticize the inconsistencies present in sci-pablum, it makes a lot more sense to criticize the internal inconsistencies, not the inconsistencies with your expectations.
Of course, short term traders provide liquidity for long term holders to sell into; I wouldn't be surprised if the tax scheme you proposed simply ended up shifting many transactions such that the trader got more of the advantage, approximately correlated with the expected tax rate of the investor.
Blah blah blah whatever, LED+heater is still going to use less energy and be more visible than incandescent, this is a failure to perfectly anticipate installation conditions, not some green boondoggle.
It actually looks like it is a bigger problem in warmer weather, as the snow has a chance to melt a bit as it strikes the light and then freeze on, rather than just sliding off (which is what would happen if the light and snow are both below freezing).
I'm not sure that is what is happening, just pointing out the potential for it.
There are still more people on the planet that do not own computers than there are people that do own computers. And they already pretty much sell corporate support (rather than simple licensing).
A simple thermostat wouldn't be enough to limit the heating to 5 or 6 days. At least not if it were set to activate at 32 F (it might work out of it were designed to activate at a lower temperature and then maintain a bit more than 32 F for some set period of time).

It sure does, but I was replying to the comment above mine, not to whatever you are imagining.
You can buy it for a good deal less than a politician, so I'm not sure you want to read it all that badly:

All the people that blithely put up with it deserve an equal share of the blame.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the scalable UI is going to involve at least some effort above a fixed layout, which is exactly a compromise.

It's near non emergence (that is, have you seen one you don't own in the wild?) sort of cuts down on how influential it is.
Yes, as the history of mankind shows, things only always get worse.

What about "Yo, Dude!"?
I mean, I haven't recognized the crown yet, so I'm not sure why I should worry about the things the Queen says and does.

That isn't really an answer to the notion of testing on a slightly less exciting asteroid.
Last year's inch is next year's mile.
Probably. The question is really whether you feel like pissing away your money or not.
Take up shoplifting.
Worry when they start trying to control tens of thousands of square miles, not a few dozen.
Do you have a good source for reading level statistics?
(I realize I can search for such a thing, but perhaps you know of one that is well organized and such)

Or maybe markets would still be highly liquid.
I wonder when they are going to see saturation for the market of people who are willing to pay $20-$30 a month for 'unlimited' data?
I'm sure I would get some use out of having the internet in my pocket, but my interest isn't such that I can justify putting it in my budget.
Because you can add a heater, still use less energy, and also save piles of money on bulb replacements (bulbs, labor, etc)?
The atmosphere also receives a good bit of direct solar heating, not just the solar heat that strikes the surface of the planet.
Blah blah blah whatever, LED+heater is still going to use less energy and be more visible than incandescent, this is a failure to perfectly anticipate installation conditions, not some green boondoggle.
Maybe in 10 years when the fixtures need replacing, but no way would a retrofit save money over paying for energy.
