Play your games with units all you want, but once you understand them you'll know that one cannot determine the energy contained in any random battery from only its voltage.
"Because as a collective whole, tax payers can afford to pay for college for everyone."
You say that as if it's true. It isn't. The federal government is already running a budget deficit without taking on any additional burdens. You have a strange definition of "afford."
Voltage is a unit of potential, not energy. A 1.5 V AA alkaline cell might have the same energy capacity (watt-hours = 3600 Joules) as a 1.2 V AA NiMH one. A 1.5 V AA cell has less energy than a 1.5 V D cell.
Batteries are commonly rated with a "capacity," (often in milliAmp-hours, mAh) which is neither voltage nor energy, but a measure which assumes a constant current draw, with varying power delivery. That doesn't apply in this situation, since the draw on the battery would increase as the voltage drops.
So, if you own company "joesguitarstore.com" and want to use your work email, you're screwed? Sounds like a company to not do business with, because they're obviously customer hostile.
Uh, education is available to all. It's called public school in the US. It gets you enough (if you trying in even a minimal way) to get by in life - math to balance a checkbook, the ability to read the mail you received.
You seem to be claiming that higher, specialized education should be a free for all. That's significantly different. Should government pay for law/medical school? As many degrees as I might wish to achieve? Can one be a permanent, lifelong student in your world?
Using the same logic, the world would be a wonderful place if everyone were wealthy. Why don't we just have the government give everyone $1,000,000 per year?

It is 4G, which stands for 4th Generation. In the US, 1G=AMPS, 2G=TDMA/CDMA, 3G=EDGE/CDMA2000, 4G=LTE. Throw a bunch of other acronyms in there as you will, because there were incremental improvements, but those are the basic generational changes.
I understand your point, but just because some industry organization wants to redefine the terminology for marketing reasons to be based on speed instead of generations of technology, doesn't make it so.

Well, there's the fact of evolution, which is that it does occur. We've observed it.
But, there's also the theory of evolution, which tries to determine the evolutionary path taken to get to present lifeforms.
So, there is a large part of "evolution" which shouldn't be presented as fact, or you end up with another Piltdown Man.
The government in 1984 seemed pretty competent at what they did. I think reality is more like Brazil.

Why not Kim Dotcodotnz?
"should be available to everyone for as cheaply as possible."
They don't have libraries in your town?

Please document the statistics on the number of people with Ph.Bs who would not be self supporting without one.
"why not just make it free and stop squeezing students?"
TANSTAAFL. Why start squeezing the taxpayers?

Well, then, they just need to fuck you.
Yep. And notably absent are Colossal Cave Adventure and Star Trek.

There's more, which is left as an exercise for the reader.
Why don't you offer an example of this legal abuse, and a cite for "its intended function"?
Someone should invent something and call it "virtual memory."
"If you can't test a hypothesis by experiment, then it's nothing more than speculation."
Now, apply that to climate "science."

Now move 10 feet to the left and see if you still have a signal.
You're either wrong, or ignorant. Probably just stupid.
Conversely, all analog circuits are digital, just different levels of quanta.
WTF do you consider "digital wifi"? It's RF. It's analog, modulated to carry digital information.
