I think this has a lot in common with the saying "The USA spent millions developing a pen that could write in zero G for space missions; the Russions just used a pencil."
What you need is a set of 4 75-Ohm unbalanced to 100-Ohm balance transformers (aka baluns). But as you have found those are pricey. You could instead try a set of these:
The author is confusing "free-thinking" with democratic values.
In my experience, creativity usually flows from primarily 1 person. Either that person is alone (like an artist in their studio) or a dictatorial over-lord calling the shots (eg. a stage or movie director, or a music conductor or producer).
So, "free-thinking" should not really imply an open, democratic environment. If you think of it this way, these "free-thinking" artists are not all that unlike Apple after all.
At many advanced institutes of higher learning, especially at the graduate level, is it not uncommon for there to be NO BOOK. The professor's weekly scrawlings on the blackboard are all you get.
They run a credit check to get your credit score. The higher the credit score, the more marketers will be willing to pay the grocer to get their hands on records of your buying habits.
Here's a thought.... Rather than converting the light to RF and beaming that down to the surface, why not just reflect the light down to the surface and put your solar panels there? That way, you can take advantage of advances in solar panel efficiency without the cost of launching a new satellite?

Umm. Then what do you call this?

Unless that's "research".
Cute story. #9 is my favorite. 2 obvious omissions are the emergency stop buttons on elevators and escalators.
I'm already thinking someone needs to follow this up with the top 10 *on* switches. My vote would be for the one in Jurassic park (the 1st one), where Laura Dern has to pump the thing and then press the button to fire the knife switch.
I was working for a small start-up around 1995. We had a PC running in a remote facility. We administered it remotely using Norton's PC Anywhere. Problem is, the machine usually crashed after a few days of uptime. The only way to recover it was to physically hit the reset switch.
I hacked around this by putting together a small circuit card that connected to the phone line and the reset line inside the PC case, with a simple Z80 microcontroller in-between. What it did was simply count the number of rings within a 30 second span. If the count reached 4, it would strobe the reset. Since we had PC Anywhere set to answer after 2 rings, whenever we dialed into the machine, it would either answer (because it was up-and-running) or it would reboot (because it had crashed, and PC Anywhere no longer answered the phone).

I recently contributed a package, x2x, which may do what you're looking for. Look for it in the XFree86 section inside Cygwin Setup. To figure out how to use it, do a "man x2x" from the Cygwin bash prompt.

Use them in pairs at each end of the coax. Connect the F connector end to the coax and the screw terminals to the appropriate pins of an RJ45 jack.

I second that. Try Adobe FrameMaker (although it, too, seems a little dated, but at least it's WYSIWYG).
