I was not being sarcastic when I said "most people are happy", I meant it, for the reasons that you went on to enumerate. Most people don't want a private contract governing what they can do with their house, because it is a huge pain in the ass compared to the small pain in the ass that is local gub'ment.
I get the sense that GWT is a great way to build an app but a terrible way to add functionality to existing pages (because it wants you to do everything its way...). Is this way off base?
You are making the implicit assumption that the current $115 billion in spending all makes more sense than the vehicle grid. That's why I said California can't finance it, because of current spending. That's different than not being able to afford it.
Because it would cost a lot. See, I thought the goal was to spend money fighting crimes up until the point that it makes sense (because there really isn't any reason to spend millions of dollars making sure that little Jimmy isn't locking himself into the bathroom for illegal reasons).
It might work out where a bunch of stupid laws get repealed and it actually becomes possible to live a crime free life, but I doubt it.
Also, you don't seem to give very much consideration to the notion that 'crime' is almost entirely a societal construct (certainly harm to others is not a construct, but crime is generally harm that society deems unacceptable). If society doesn't agree completely on what is acceptable behavior, 100% enforcement is going to suck for somebody.
There is also generally a clause in the law that limits the effective term of non-competes.
In the U.S., it seems to vary by state (some don't honor them at all, others don't honor them if they are ridiculous, still others don't honor them forever). In Europe, it seems you old employer generally has to keep paying you if they want the non-compete to be in force.
California might not be able to finance a billion dollar project right now, but I'm pretty sure it could afford it, what, with annual revenues around $100 billion, you might be able to find it in the couch.
For workstation type use, as long as the wear-leveling isn't brain dead, it doesn't matter. If you assume that a disk only has 10 gigabytes of free space, 100,000 writes (which may be low by now, I don't keep track) will be able to cope with the better part of a petabyte of writes before issues come up.
Much of the consumption is going to be of water that was very recently urine, so there needs to be some sort of time based mixing factor in there (I would guess that water locked up in glaciers is not being used as urine for long stretches of time, and, I think, there are parts of the oceans that stay pretty isolated for long periods of time). So the number could easily be too high by several orders of magnitude (if water regularly gets locked up for hundreds or thousands of years).
I imagine it is quite hard to take a drink and not have any urine molecules in it, but the estimation makes for a fun game.
As your storage per chip goes up, you can make smaller flash drives by using less chips. Hell, it is probably possible to use chips with major flaws (just have them present as a lower capacity chip).
Hard drives of any size need all of the same precision mechanical components (with some allowance for different numbers of platters), so the fixed costs on the low end will, at some point, give flash the advantage.

It's expensive, dangerous and nearly completely useless.
Party balloons full of gasoline have all the same advantages without being expensive.
If you light him on fire, does he not burn?
Why bother customizing it to the data? Just make something that moves, flashes and changes colors in a random, pleasing fashion.
A "boss screen" for your data center sounds like a good project name.
O.k., since a sauna reaches up to 110C, you should be able to stick your hand in a pot of boiling water with no ill effects.
The mechanism of the heat transfer is just as important as the temperature.

Yeah, that's right.
Most people are happy with the local government being the chief pain in their ass.
Nice troll.
I think it might be more accurate to say if only they had a strategy.
Draconian HOAs suck, but they are easy enough to avoid.
If more people avoided them, they would go away.

You should watch the Lions. The ball gets touched by a foot approximately every 3 plays.
Working out why this is so requires only a rudimentary knowledge of the rules of American football and the Lions record: 0-11.
Your tail is showing.

Nah, first things first.

Perhaps out of the millions of people who clickly-clicky on the internets, there are enough people to fully represent both positions.
If you take surface to mean the top 10 feet, biology has been overwhelming. If you take surface to mean the top 10 miles, not so much.
If you are generally honest, you don't have to spend your life running from the shit you did yesterday.
I know, that sounds completely crazy.

What's an Iawyer?
Do they suck the blood with their teeth, or is their equipment involved?
Gasoline and diesel get along just fine.
Basically, there are enough vehicles to support parallel markets.
