I may be wrong, but I believe the only data point we have on a space shuttle launch colder than 53 degrees Fahrenheit was a shuttle by the name of Challenger, and it didn't fare so well.
I do know that 53 degrees was the coldest launch data they had prior to Challenger...
You do the marketing and then farm out the tech work to India - that's how it's done these days. Although, people are starting to figure out that they can just cut out the American salesman and go directly to India and save all the American overhead and commissions that just pay for the fancy suits, Exlax watches, and huge CEO salaries.
Exlax watches? Remind me to never ask you what time it is...
Not redundant mods - Cryacin is one of the (apparently few) commenters who got the Spaceballs reference.
I swear, kids these days... no respect for geek traditions and culture... Bah, now get off my lawn! (-- note to the younglings: this is NOT a Gran Torino reference!)
I'm not sure if you were trolling or being serious (haven't had my morning caffeine infusion yet), but here's a real-world example of pigeon-net doing exactly what you describe:
Working system? Did you click the links to Taco's "achievements"?!?! I think Slashdot needs to warn epileptics and others with a tendency towards seizures to NOT do so. The goggles do nothing indeed...

Yeah, I hate not being able to access amazon.com from anywhere in the world...
You know, what they need is some kind of distributed network, with nodes interconnected with one another, kind of like a web. Yeah, a world wide web, that's the ticket!
I kid, I kid... You may have a point with people being unwilling to put up with the delay and uncertainty of dropping their used games in the mail, but I doubt it'll dampen the enthusiasm for Amazon's offering much.
Try online courses for a semester, if your college offers them.
I had a similar experience: gifted/talented/whatever they're calling those programs these days in school. I didn't burn out in high school, but never really had to study to get through classes with flying colors. I burned out shortly into my sophomore year in college. I made it through my degree program, but my GPA was no great shakes. I couldn't understand why I didn't just "get it" they way I did in high school.
A few years ago, I decided to go for a second degree online. Best decision I ever made. When it's all on you, and you've got no alternative but to sit down with the material and decipher it on your own, you might be surprised at your ability to study.
FWIW, I graduated summa cum laude from that second program, 3.975 GPA (one stinking A- away from perfection. Sigh...) Certainly being older and in a different situation (married with a kid, as opposed to single on my own) helped, but I wish that online had been an option when I was first going to college...

...I've not heard of anyone accusing Assange of beheading any opponents.
I keep trying to get that evidence up on Wikileaks, but for some reason they won't take my submission...

Wow, you must be a real hit at parties...
Lighten up, Francis.
