The fundamental problem that Linux faces is the hardware platform. Two PCs are alike in the same way as two snowflakes. Accommodating these small differences is what made Windows so bloated and trouble-prone, and the same problem will at some point break any Linux version run on that platform.
Now if only some wealthy company would define one PC configuration as being its standard, with a small number of options for disk and monitor size, and then tailor a Unix to run on this specific hardware...Oh, wait--
But driving there from San Diego would take you through all that cartelista territory (with who knows how many of those rumored ISIS training camps) that grandparent insisted was the big reason to avoid Mexican dentistry.
But the flat-earth lobby has a history of opposing pumped storage projects ("It's electrical, so eeee-vil"). Batteries in individual houses might be a "good enough" alternative to rewiring the whole grid to support fluctuating sources.
Scramming of nuclear reactors is one such process. This is the part of the Japanese system that worked. After the shutdown, you have to keep coolant water circulating through the core for a couple of weeks. This takes area planning considerations like making sure that fire engines can connect their hoses to the power-plant plumbing. Oopsie...
A fluoridation program means managing for a specified level of fluoride in the water. In town with a high natural level, this can mean taking fluoride out of the water on a constant basis.
On planet Earth, systemic fluoride is the most effective kind, because it gets built into tooth structure. If you have to live in a place like Afghanistan or Oregon, topical fluoride (the kind in toothpaste) is better than nothing.
If you're looking to save money on dental care, you don't have to go very far. Drive east on I-8 from San Diego along the border, and you will see a huge hotel at a turnoff marked Algodones. It's not a casino, but a border stay for people who can, in a short walk yo the Mexican side, get quality dental care for a fraction of the US price. It's where you get all those necessary procedures that insurance doesn't cover.
I'm one of those people who has always wanted a free market in medicine. If consumers could buy medical services as freely as they do electronics, from any market in the world, we would be paying a fraction of today's prices. Yes, there would still be a large component of charity and government assistance in medicine because it's not something that poorer people can voluntarily opt to not buy. But of we did have a free medical market, imagine how much farther those government and charity dollars would go.
But US medicine loves the monopoly cartel model the way it is, because being able to dictate how much their customers will pay is so much more lucrative than competing. So I wish Obamacare on them, and the inevitable Son of Obamacare that we will get for those who still can't afford their care. Bend over, doctors and hospitals, for a generation of socialist medicine. Then come back to us and tell us again how much you hate the free market.
Fifty years ago in public high school (Norwalk, CA) we learned the metric system in full detail. The assumption in that pro-science era was that we would be converting to it in some value of momentarily.
Pakistan didn't "secede' from India. The colonial British, knowing that when they left there would be bloody civil war between Muslim and Hindi, so they created Pakistan as a Muslim state in 1947 and herded India's Muslims into it as they departed. The Muslims in India now are a few who were left over.
The E was in there before hipsters were replaced by the Hipstr app, which contains a map of approved neighborhoods near you, then lists of the approved restaurants, hotels and clubs within those neighborhoods.
I don't think the number of off-the-grid users will change much. Fundamentally, a good-enough and cheap-enough battery will improve the grid and smooth out the fluctuations in daily demand - and with small renewables, the new fluctuations in daily generation.
Hubble is a prime example of why we space nutters want to get people out there. When we sent Hubble up into its 375-mile orbit, it was nothing but a paperweight until we were able to send a crew up there to fix it.
Not to mention that it was carried into orbit using Space Shuttle as its "first stage."

Then is he ready to bless our new reactor fleet?

For the reading-impared: fast broadband is pointless if there is a usage cap that prevents you from taking advantage of it for video.

It needs a usage cap that allows us to actually do streaming.
This also explains why LinkedIn, notwithstanding the tonnage of electrons it devotes to spam, keeps spinning its wheels.
I want a universe where Hawaii has legalized pot, which would mean being able to build the Thirty Meter telescope with no opposition.
So now low-llying Swiss watch ads are going to be swooping past my head as I read?
And furthermore, it causes Courier font.

That's also the only problem I have with my iPhone 6: having to turn WiFi off and on to reconnect after a long period of sleep.
Originally he did, but because of Man's imperialist and engineeringist hubris the climate warmed so much that the mercury is liquid today.

I would lose half my residential IT fixit business.
