To me this seems like it only works for those who are so hopeless at finding a job they have to take any chance they can get, or people who do this only for fun and have no need for income. I know some folks in that latter camp and I doubt this company is exciting enough for them.
Oh wow, because I don't have children I should not be pointing out bad parenting?
Next you will say I should tolerate your screaming kids out in public. I was a kid, I know what my parents did and how that worked. I can then see when your parenting is not working.
I can get 150/150 on FIOS if I want to pay for it. That kills cable.
You sound like you are getting old, being a manager and all, you don't use as much data as younger folks like myself. I bet far more than 1% uses more data than you. Why sync a thumb drive when I can pull the data right off one of the machines at my house? With 25Mb up and 4G all around town, that is nice and fast.
I do run one computer 24x7 it is hidden away and no one can see or hear it. The $5 a month in electricity is well worth it. I do turn if off if I am going on vacation for more than a couple days or out of the country.
Seems like google could have made a little extra scratch by letting them pay it off monthly for $40 for a year and probably gotten more folks singing up. $300 is a large chunk of change for some folks.
10x1mb seems slow, why would you not want to go faster?
Do you never access data from your home computers while somewhere else?
Here is what drives it: Skype and other HD video chat, Steam and Desura and the like, Hosting your own data by yourself, legal p2p, illegal p2p, and the whole host of things that will be created to take advantage of it.
Good point. I more meant to imply that the moon a satellite of the earth and as such launches from there still have to overcome the gravity of the earth vs say a launch from mars which would not be impacted measurably by the gravity of the earth.
QR codes may not be popular for long, but they are easy enough to build a program to read. Do you really think future humans will be carrying around weaker computers than we are now?
The company being around is not that important considering you can store ~2KB in a QR code.

Yes, but tossing out weight and density for civilian needs is extremely silly.
Because something has not been done it cannot be done?
Just because the poor will always exist is no reason to let people starve while wasting money on this stuff.
Also valid.

Do they get script to spend at the company store too?
If this is how they treat you during the interview expect to be treated even worse once you get hired.
Not if you want the best candidates it is not. Often those types already have jobs.
I am not sure.
I have driven across the border to fly out of Toronto before. The Canadian security was way more pleasant to deal with.
At least Mars has some of the stuff you might need. The moon seems pretty limited as far as food, water and air go.
Some people live in apartments, or just do not have garages.
Several months to a years worth of food takes up considerable space.
I do it with less tinned stuff and more staples, but some people like it.
You must be a lot of fun at parties.
Lighten up, francis.
So civilians have unlimited storage and unlimited carrying capacity?
You might want to let the military know, they would be interested in that kind of tech.
Not everyone has that option.
Half my family is across and ocean. I wonder if no-fly means no-boat either.

Anything on the Moon had to get there from Earth. It would have been cheaper to use a direct course.
Tears fiber apart?

Do they have to pay that all at once?
Seems like google could have made a little extra scratch by letting them pay it off monthly for $40 for a year and probably gotten more folks singing up. $300 is a large chunk of change for some folks.
I have 25/25 and am considering going faster.

How would you discredit an argument appealing to mythology without someone calling it an ad hominem?
I guess appeal to authority could be pointed out.
How is this advancing technology?
They could buy launches and know how from many companies already doing them.
This is just nationalist waste.

You are mixing up cause and effect. Poor people do not set out to get pregnant, that is how they end up poor.
Also the majority of welfare recipients are white, so I highly doubt they are blaming whitey.
How would the moon help with that?
It is not even outside the earths gravity well. So not like you get a cheap launch to the next location.
Sounds like more space-nutter talk.
Try blaming google less and consider it a cheap reminder to not let the tablet babysit your children.
If you really don't want to spend the time watching them setup a PIN for inapp purchases.

A poster with a QR code ruins the look?
White people problems.

Have the QR code be a link to your own website. Have a trust handle the hosting costs and provider.
