That short post was less than a kilobyte, but lets say that a KB is the smallest unit. That works out to $209.72 US per gigibyte There would be very few people prepared to pay that these days.
"No, the problem is women simply don't make as good of soldiers as men. They are smaller and have less strength, speed, and endurance."
That was true in ancient time when they carried pikes, swords and bronze armour. With an assault rifle though size and strength are not such a big deal.
" thousands of tourists go to Antarctica. money to burn."
Thousands of tourists used to get sightseeing flights to Antarctica back in the late 70's Air New Zealand stopped that when one of the DC10s hit Mt Erebus
"The real issue is fire danger - anything combustible might spontaneously catch fire, so all materials in such environment would have to be fire-resistant."
Most cars are only carrying the driver, and doing speeds of less than 120 kilometres per hour. In the rest of the world you don't need a multiton SUV for those uses. A 1 litre normally aspirated 4 cylinder should be enough.
You can also get more MPG by using proper size gallons. (4.54 litres)

"As far as I know we still accept Columbus as the discoverer of America"
No we don't.
I was taught in school that Lief Ericson did.
The good doctor passed away in 1992
So what happens at night?
How long has it been unconscious?
I haven't worn a wrist watch for a couple of decades - why should I start now?

And in related news, an earthquake was reported in Sri Lanka
(A.C. Clarke turning in his grave)
So this satellite only orbits above India?
That must be a tricky orbit.
You could have one sitting above Sri Lanka (well a little bit to the south) 25,000 miles up.
"Please oh please may that term die a quick painless death."
Well then you could call that sort of device a "tane"
(and have it rhyme with Dane so we don't get it confused with the god of the forest)
Just put the datacenter, and the solar panels in orbit.
"most electricity is needed at the start of the day, home and businesses powering and heating up to start the workday,"
Why are you using electricity for heating? Heating is the most efficient use of natural gas.
And datacenters don't need heating.
And when any transaction (through a bank) over ten grand has to be reported (by the bank to the authorities) theres not much point in $1000 bills

Someone called "Leaked Credentials" says dropbox wasn't hacked
No that still doesnt work
Maybe there is supposed to be a full stop after Leaked.
Well its either the World Health Organization or Peter Capaldi.
Why else would they need to bring it back
Something to do with solid state hard drives
and a downhill course
It wasn't my fault officer, the car say the highway sign and thought that I-95 meant 95mph

Aew we sure that it was art by Homo Sapiens?
Wasn't there an island in Indonesia that had Hobbits?
