File cache, like Squid proxy can retain commonly downloaded files such as images from the major websites.

So if a person #1 visits yahoo, the images are downloaded, and other simultaneous visitors to that site instead pull the images and flash files from the cache, not long haul over and over.

The 65,000 ft. variety is still in development but would accelerate with some external research stimuli.
Teledesic once planned to cover the world in Low Earth Orbit ( LEO ) satellites, but it fell apart and millions were wasted.
A more practical solution is a remote control balloon that can be flown via simple cheap remote control like RC planes with just a mild booster to get it up over 10 miles high.
It could be landed for repairs, upgrades, etc etc.
Geosync satellites are expensive, and due to their distance out add in latency to the data, 13 miles vs. 22,000 miles does make a difference.
Also at 65,000 ft. there is no wind, so once you make it up there you just hang out in one spot.
It is nice and cold up there so the electronics can be stored in a insulated container, and cool air can cycle thru as needed, or perhaps passive cooling would be fine if done right.
How exactly will you know whether the new job will be better before you've already burned your bridges with the old one?
Through networking with ppl you can often find someone that knows a person that still works there, or used to work there.
You could even even ask around anonymously in local online chatrooms, the ex-workers have little to fear of telling the truth about the place.
You can get an idea of what is like from that person.
If you are a little less honorable, a parabolic mic, or laser audio detector on the break room window should give you sufficient dirt on what is going on from a very respectable range.
Sometimes the truth is important enough to check a place out before you put on the yoke as a sled dog once again.
What I have learned from a distance has saved me lots of money from unscrupulous ppl, and let me know what ppl really think of me instead of the fake plastic faces they show you when your around.

Working class can be ppl that make a decent living, ie. electricians, plumbers, etc.
My house is paid off, and I earned every dollar honestly.
The majority of Americans are working class, so I would be representing the majority.
I also know it takes a good cabinet of honest ppl that know all facets of the position to make it work.
I find it difficult to find yet another accounting or stock loophole for the rich, they have plenty already. John Kerry's taxes the year he ran for president were 11%, so cry me a river.
Let's take the death tax they bemoan, its a misnomer, the first 1 million is tax free for everyone.
I believe in a hand up, not a hand out, if you want welfare you will be stopped from reproducing like rabbits and having everyone else pay for it.
As for me having a shit job at present I am not even working, I am working on my house, looking for the right job, and spending time with friends and family.
I am living off my savings, not unemployment.
I may return overseas as a contractor, most likely Bahrain.
Before you fire off vitriolic short sighted posts, consider the fact that diverse ppl may be on the other end, such as this grey haired Ex-military American Indian.
Might ask yourself how resistant RAID arrays are to 36 firmware updates for the controller, then firmware updates for the drives, and then the SCSI bus deciding its cheaply made parts are going to start spewing noise on the bus.
RAID is not a backup solution, proof of this is that google has moved away from it and just keeps multiple copies of the data.
RAID hardware is more about selling hardware, now SANs are a different ball of cheese as they offer speed as well as some data integrity.
Why does Unreal Tournament, for example, run soooo much faster when I boot my Macbook to windows, than running the native OS/X version.
Because they coded it for windows not MAC, and when they made the made the MAC version they did what is called a "port" of the code.
Doing this is like an after thought and is usually not done in a manner of a bottom up best case design, so you end up with something that is a bit of hack job on often a limited budget with limited number of coders who often know M$ coding better than MAC/unix.
A good example of a reversal of this is World of Warcraft on Cedega ( Transgaming ) runs faster on Linux than Windows.
Which I find absolutely hilarious.
So in regards to UT on the MAC your issue is more with the way it was ported most likely.
I know this sounds crazy but it's really true ( imo, though I'm only 18 so judge for yourself ), without perfect AI I don't think any non shallow male could claim to 'love' his robot. This might just be me...

It has been estimated by scientists that more water flows in and out of the bay of fundy every 12.4 hrs than all the rivers in the world.

We KNOW that converting to nuclear energy would largely solve the global warming problem.

The polar caps on mars are melting, I can't find the SUV's on mars thou.
Solar thermal output is up "drastically", and the upper atmosphere has not warmed as would be indicated if it was greenhouse gas caused global warming.
The rise in CO2 lags the Temp rise, not the other way around as gollum would say Mr. Gore pulled a "tricksey" and made it look like CO2 goes up then Temp goes up, but it is in fact the opposite.
The Phd scientists in the show will confirm that if you watch it.

I personally hope they find them, and if credit card transactions at grocery stores is the big sin used to do it, so be it.
That some whack-o in the government is taking you seriously, or maybe he is not, and he is just looking for a boost in recognition and these little "take over diatribes" as they see them will get you add to the bullshit watch list.
I understand them not wanting to cut it all down, but a few fire breaks in key spots would help them fight the fire, and would slow its spread as well.
A few more water towers in the area on the tops of the hills would help them not have to truck in as much water, and or a list of all ppl with swimming pools in the area.
The firebreaks do need to be fairly wide as the wind was a factor in these, as usual.
Most people outside of your mom's basement just want their stuff to work. They don't care what makes it work, how it works, what technology it came from

Use the new cheap printable solar cells, and for almost infinite
battery life use super capacitors instead.
The super cap would cost more, but they have like a million cycle life.
Assuming 1 cycle per day, It could last in theory, 3,000 yrs.

It is no harder to do that than to simply listen to them.
The real problem would be getting the career politicians

Regardless if it sucks or not, if you can do better, you should do better.
The managers bemoaning retention would jump at a nice new job, with a
pay increase and better hours, etc etc.
Do not feel some job is your 'destiny' even if it sucks.
Even in a bad economy you can find another job that doesn't
suck as bad as the last one, though it may not pay as well.
It is just a job unless your savings lives, minds, hearts, or sanity.
Widget/Service seller/maker ABC-whatever is one of MANY companies.
Leave on good terms if you can, but as always, if your miserable there
it will start to affect your state of mind, health, etc.
