I don't have enough information to know if this is true or not, but I would expect it would be more cost effective to service the east coast than it is to service Canada. And Pittsburgh->Cleveland->Detroit->Chicago->Minneapolis for that matter (this is roughly equivalent to the population of Canada).
Getting fat pipes to the entire U.S. is an enormous challenge, but running fat pipes to places with a lot of people isn't that big a deal.
No doubt those implementing such a scheme would wait until the very last ship was built and would then press the "Run for 50 years" button, rather than testing the first few dozen for a few months at a time. No doubt whatsoever.
What is the population density of your neighborhood? I ask because Alaska doesn't really make it harder to service you (nor do Texas, Arizona, Nevada,...).
It is prepaid, not on credit. If you have $5,000 in your phone account, you will get a big surprise, but if you have $15 in your phone account, you get a $15 surprise and then it stops working.
That would seem to be a much larger issue for members of her party than most other people. (or so it seems to me, perhaps people that have strong beliefs about the importance of a marriage to a family are not as overwhelmingly Republican as I think).
Personally, I don't find it simpler to believe that the wizard popped into existence and then created the universe, it seems simpler to believe that the universe just popped into existence (or at least similarly complex...).

The Navy isn't comparing the costs of those computers to computers in a data center somewhere on land.
I think the relative cost of labor also has something to do with the shift back to the U.S. (i.e., the cost of labor of a certain skill has gone up in China and down in the U.S.). If I had to bet $5 on it, I would bet on labor costs over shipping costs (fuel has only increased by a factor of about 3, I'm pretty sure that the relative cost of labor has shifted much more than that).
It takes more fuel to truck something from LA to Chicago than it does to ship it from China to LA. No doubt trains improve on trucks quite a bit, but fuel costs aren't particularly onerous for objects that regularly retail for $100/pound (maybe worry about it when you see bananas go for $5 a pound instead of $0.70).
I just received a hard drive from newegg that appears to be DOA (I have only tried it with 1 interface which is also brand new, so it could be the interface...). It was reasonably well packaged, wrapped in bubble wrap and packed in peanuts. The box has some slight deformation, but it looks more like it was wedged into a space or crushed than it looks like it was dropped.
I don't go through enough drives to have an opinion, but if the replacement doesn't work, things don't look so good.

It's a laptop, so that probably isn't an option.
My CPU is usually idle, but I don't like listening to the fan when it is running full tilt.
If you take care of your health, you can drink more later.

I don't understand what you are getting at.
They have been broadcasting notices here for the past, oh, I don't know, several months.
7. I am quite sure of this.
My options are modem, ISDN and satellite. Because the other two are hilariously expensive, I use a modem.
There are maybe 20 residences on the 2 miles of road between here and the nearest telephone hut.

Of course, all of the tourists to date have gone up on Russian launches, so nothing will have changed.
You mean the people that you would be calling your friends.
Are you one of these bad-ass uber hackers?

Also, it simply doesn't work in Canada:

They are getting better. Virgin mobile has unlimited voice (data plans, not so much) for $80:

Some guy says that he created the files on the disk and then deleted/overwrote them. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't.
If you are a busy data recovery company, this guy doesn't have enough of a reputation for the publicity to be worth the risk that he didn't.

"The many" doesn't include any credible scientists or philosophers.
(see what I did there, you used 'the many' and I used 'credible'. Fun stuff!)
