Why is copyright infringement an issue of homeland security? It is a federal law, it has to be assigned to someone, and The United States district courts has exclusive subject-matter jurisdiction over copyright cases. IMO, you should learn about copyright law and history - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_copyright_law
Let the consumers decide... well, let them decide so long as the government stops subsidizing energy....
Joe Barton (R-Texas), "Voters sent a message in November that it is time for politicians and activists in Washington to stop interfering in Americans’ lives and manipulating the free market. The light bulb ban is a glaring example of that frustration."
"Wilkinson says that just because the plants are genetically modified, doesn't mean they'll be more successful than wild plants. In this particular case, herbicide resistance will provide little edge to plants growing in areas that, almost by definition, don't receive many herbicides. "It's very difficult for either of these transgene types to give much of an advantage, if any, in the habitats that they're in," he says, referring to the genetically modified canola."
I hate Monsanto and GM because of their legal views and actions on DNA patents. I also hate how their products require tons of chemicals to grow and how it gets into the environment. I hate it how it promotes growing "all one type of plant" which turns niche problems and pests into giant clusterfucks because of the lack of biodiversity that would have naturally kept the problem in check. Google "pig weed" which is now ultra resistant to all known herbacides thanks to GM/Monsanto. The list goes on and on.
I just checked 4 of the boxes we have using KillAWatt and they are each 7 to 8 watts while on. I put all 4 together on a power splitter and it totaled 31 watts or 7.5 each on avg.
So if you're using 32 at 8 watts each (256 watts/hr) and lets assume they are left on 24/7/365 (8760 hours*0.256kw/hr = 2242.56 kw/hr a year) and you're paying 7.97 cents per kw/h in Indiana ( As a municipality you probably pay less) ( http://www.eia.doe.gov/electricity/epm/table5_6_b.html ) - that should equal.... 2242.56 * $0.0798 = $178.9116 a year - or about $5.59 each. And then $3 * 32 units * 12 months = $1152 a year. Or about $1330.91 for 32 units each year ($41.59 each per year).
No solution I can think of that will cover the distances you specify will cost less than paying for the units. This is especially true when you factor in the cost of your time and effort and whatever technology you implement will not be replaced for free if it breaks.
I was given the task of overseeing our company's 102 user Verizon phone bill each month back in Oct. 09. Each month I downloaded the new bill Verizon they put up in an XML format and I threw it into my database. I reduced the bill from about $6000 to $5000 in simple waste and no reduction in service - I could easily drop another $750 with minimal impact affecting only the abusers. Anyways, I noticed in April Verizon started to charge about 60% of the users with a new $1.99 for 1MB usage charge. Now I've seen this 1MB usage charge before, but it was always with one of our users that downloaded a ringtone or had access to the mobile web - it was always attached to something they did. When I called Verizon and spoke with their CSR I asked what the 1MB charge and have they changed anything because there were all these new $1.99 fees. I was told there had been no changes and when I gave them specific examples of users with these fees they said it was for this or that. I had at this point almost 6 months of data and I gave counter-examples for each explanation of what these new 1MB charges were for.
The rep was quickly overwhelmed by my examples and they said they would escalate my case to a tier 2 technical representative. Days go by and I finally get the explanation that the 1MB was for connecting to Verizon's Mobile Web - which was total crap because it's blocked and you can't actually connect. When I asked for clarification they said it was for "trying to connect" even though it is blocked on our plan. I was not satisfied because we went from 2 explainable $1.99 1MB charges a month up to 60+ the next and so the representative requested all of my examples. Two weeks go by and I start to get complaints from our users that they can't text even though they personally pay for text plans. I found out that all of my examples were given full data blocks by the CSR. I had to call and make them reverse all their unauthorized changes but we are still up about $120 each month due to these new charges. It pisses me off to no end and I requested to personally meet with our Verizon rep but that was denied by management and I was told to just let the $120/mo go.

While Obama made some overly optimistic promises it's pretty clear that congress and political fear mongering are limiting factors.
Obama is not a genie. He has no magic wand. Real progress takes time.
I'm sorry - but knowing that Firefox just updated from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 via your phone is total nonsense. Instantly knowing the CDC just arbitrarily raised it's threat level from 2 to 3 and then 3 to 4 is of no social value. However, I'll concede that whatever Sarah Palin tweats is usually valued at least a chuckle or/boggle.
I too scoff at the validity of these so called Rorschach tests. Any Phrenologist will tell you the only thing that really matters is the shape of your head. For you see, the form of the cranium represents the form of the brain, and thus reflects the relative development of the brain organs.
Whine all you want about how New York having a cool day means the world isn't getting warmer; when the corn crops start dying from the longer (and hotter) growing season, you'll be more than "a bit thinner".
Eleminate the fan and heatsync on the CPU and replace with a solid state Peltier thermoelectric modual. Then place a large heatsync on the other side to disburse some heat. Uses more electricity to cool the processor than just a fan and heatsync might but will elminate the noise.
17 inch LCD? Bow before my 21 inch CRT. CRT you get better refresh rates and less lag time.
1 gig of ram? Are you kidding me? Any true gamer has 2 gigs or more.
Standard fan cooling? When you say "ultimate" you need water cooling. It's not even that expensive or excessive.
I say wireless keyboards are excessive. You can save $90 by buying a standard no frills keyboard that gets the job done and is reliable. You can even spiffy it up with some electrical tape. Same with the MX700, you only need a 510 or 518.
Because you are such an underdog why should the American public vote for you? It seems to me like it would be throwing a vote away. I would never want Bush back in office and I do not care much for Kerry but if John Kerry has the best chance of taking Bush out why would I vote for you?
As a former CS gamer from a Cal-IM team (Slow in the head) it is my opinion Counter-Strike should be destroyed altogether. I was around since the early beta versions and every version past Steam was more and more nub friendly and more and more system stressing leading to random results while playing. The quick scope awping was ruined and so was the last ounce of skill in that game. Divert your efforts from fixing Counter-Strike and focus it like a laserbeam into releasing HL2 bug and hack free (like thats possible).
They just patented Double Clicking!

BEHOLD, THE POWER OF MICROSOFT
I was on my way to becomming a competative gamer in Counter-Strike. I joined CAL and was undefeated in CAL-O. Counter-Strike requires many hours of time of practice and strats for any person to be sucessful at it. I had to give up many things just to beat the first season I played and ultimatly I decided the sacrafices are not worth it.
Friends become enemies, all spare time is used to hone your craft, and it turns from a fun game into a chore or job with extreme pressure. This is especially true in team based games like Counter-Strike.
I made over $580.00 in one month on Star Wars Galaxies the first month I played. That was fun but became less fun over time.
If you have the ability to sacrafice your friends, time, sanity, family, job, and in many cases education, then you too can be a pro gamer.
Games are targeted at the younger generations. Many students sacrafice their time which would otherwise be spent on more productive activities but instead on games. To be a pro gamer you have to be all in 100%. I have seen my friends even take off a year after high school to get a job and play games instead of going to college.

Steam has also shown if you put the price of your game at a level gamers think is a good deal - you sell like crazy.

That statistic is unfair because everyone knows that people who steal games vs those who buy them are far more successful in achieving a high score.
