Servo Controller (if you need more than the 8 provided with that particular robot controller): http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1356 - these can be hooked up to the robot controller's serial interface and daisy-chained for a maximum of ~255 servos
Perhaps if you live in a densely populated center with good public transportation or if you can actually afford to live where you work. But for most, this is not an option. It is also not a solution.
The cost of gas and the amount consumed are two different issues. If you need gas to travel to and from work, you have no choice but to spend the money. This is where subsidization comes into play, an amount which is probably enough to maintain a stable economy. Then you have the issue of actual consumption per mile, which is affected by how much oil the US is able to secure and for how long it is able to secure it. There is a finite amount of oil and if the government knows exactly how much oil it has in its reserves, how much oil it consumes and how much oil it can import based on projected geo-political situations in oil producing countries, one factor in reducing dependance is to force car companies to increase fuel efficiency.
Disable work email from my personal devices, redirect unknown phone numbers to voicemail (including "unknown" phone numbers), block news sites by way of adblock on my computers, shut down my computer when not in use (so I think twice about turning it back on), cancel cable service, put my cellphone on vibrate, go for walks, do some physical labor, engage in hobbies that mix what I enjoy with something physical like robotics.
I am more relaxed during my personal time by disconnecting from the outside world and focusing on something outside of my mind (something that is not conceptual or virtual). There is definitely something about balancing personal and interpersonal time and internal and external engagements to create a healthy existence.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of SuperMUCs, or a cluster of clusters which would be semantically reduced to just 'cluster'....so just imagine a beowulf cluster.
FTA: "Most countries with nuclear power stations agree that the solution for dealing with long-lived nuclear waste is to store it deep inside the earth, about 500 meters below the surface."
Nothing new but I still find it disturbing that we do this.

Why launch one into space when you can't even keep up with demand here on Earth?

Great idea but it assumes customers know what they want...
