you forgot the massive image resolution required for a movie to be sharp on a cinema screen, wich would warp the textures and geometry data by a factor of 100, if you did your (very nice) spacecraft shot with a dvd, dvb or mpeg4 target in mind.
This is great as a complementary solution. The problem is that the solar energy could only be affordable on countries like mine (Spain), with loads of solar light every year but what about nordic countries? Wind harvesting is great, but you need huge amounts of terrain to do that (think about Holland). My hope is on hydrogen fussion, but I think that we're not specially near of using it on a regular basis. And I fear the huge amounts of energy we could launch to the planet with such a (supposed) cheap energy source... we're not kind enough to avoid soiling our own environment.
In Asia, nearly 54 percent of software programs were pirated. Reducing the rate 10 points to 44 percent by 2006 could create 1.1 million new jobs, increase economic growth by US$170 billion, and generate another US$15 billion in tax revenues.
Yeah. But that money should come from somewhere. And "somewhere" is obviously the pockets of the ppl that cannot afford even a Winrar license. So that is a fake logic: you cannot make US$170B of reducing pirated software just because ppl pirate, among other things, because they cannot pay the licenses.

the question is not "why", is always "why not".
Cave canem!.
