"Sales tax is based on where the service or goods are provided or delivered."
This can be a little fuzzier than that, although the government would like it to be that way. The reality is that it is not practical for every merchant to be a registered tax collector for every location where they deliver goods. If you have an office, you have to register as a tax collector. If you don't, you don't. If you're not registered as a reseller, it's kind of hard to collect sales tax.
Photovoltaics are normally done that way, but once you have a turbine to spin up, I think it makes sense to keep it going at some optimum speed, making storage almost a necessity. Yes I suppose it could be done without storage.
Maybe you are thinking of the cost of complete systems. The panels themselves are easy to find in the $4.50/W range. $4.00/W is more of a wholesale price but certainly obtainable.
There is a huge difference because the solar energy needs to be banked for nighttime and the passage of clouds, so you have tanks of molten salt or something.
On the other hand, I believe the cost of coal-generated electricity from a new plant is generally vastly understated and based on old data.

With Direcway's basic plan, the service actually shuts down for practical purposes after a couple hours of 192k streaming music. Even if you only do that once a week. In other words, it sucks. Bad. On purpose. Maybe other providers are better.
It is, however, better than nothing and relatively reliable.
yes the Scalix vs Zimbra question is a tough one. They are both missing important things and I agree with what you say about Scalix. Still, for a small company, especially that doesn't want a web-based client, Zimbra's licensing structure is basically saying they don't want my business. I would like to say that Scalix has so far not lost any data for us, and does work. knock on wood.
maybe, but I don't recall uninstalling 98 so I could buy and run 95. I don't recall uninstalling XP so I could pay for and run 98...
I'm quietly confident that in 5 years time I will have more Linux machines than I do now. As far as I am concerned, they've already failed. As for the rest of the world, you're almost certainly right. They'll do fine.
My system is battery based so I don't qualify for your program.
I think I spent about $16000 for parts 5 years ago, and I live on about 5kWh per day in case you're interested. Offgrid systems have an entirely different economic scenario and it paid for itself the day I put it in, vs bringing in power.
If it were a grid tied system, it's unlikely I could sell it due the usual contracts involved, unless I did it with no rebates.
Regardless, it still remains to be seen what exactly the company is doing and if the company can make a go of it.
I'm not jumping to any conclusions. I never said it won't work or is being done incorrectly or in bad faith. Yes it makes sense to presell anything you can. There are already many solar module plants operating at capacity. I think the news is a company promising to do something they have yet to prove they can do, and you promoting it as a done deal.

wouldn't it make more sense to go to a pdf if you're printing something? vs dictating browser? sincerely curious.
That sounds pretty cool actually...
Where is the promise that this will be commercialized in a few years and we can paint our houses with it? What kind of solar article is this?
Wouldn't it be the IT staff who's responsible?

I think you mean "grammatically correct with few or no spelling errors", and I agree.
To your list, I would add HTML.
Cheers
I hope you're right.
I don't think tar sands or especially oil shale represent a solution. Shell is already backpedalling on their promises for oil shale.

"None of us would accept "but it's a complicated technology and there are so many parts" as an excuse for a plane crash."
Actually, I would accept that.
depends on the definition of "exists". A concept "exists", but only as a concept. Lots of things "exist" in people's minds.
There is no god.
There. Now you know one.
"It's time to thin the heard"
no, it's time to develop a decent groupware solution.
expensive and annoying, yes. Unstable, no.
Then I'm sure you don't mind if I rummage through your possessions and help myself to anything I like. After all what's yours is mine, right?

I hope they both continue to improve.

I can see you forgot to do some basic research before posting. There's no batteries with these systems.
In Soviet Russia broadband gets you.
