Your right in the basic point but you also missed the space based 100% on time if place at a correct spot.
This allows it to be a possible base load power generator. I don't think it make's up for your other points but it is an advantage.
Nope don't think that correct.
If Greenland melts: 7m
If Greenland and Antarctic melt: 67m
That will take a long time even with the worst warming estimates but the time predicted keeps getting smaller as scientist work on it.

Yup agree unfortunately/fortunately the simple option is to allow them on the planes.
Well the really simple option is to force everyone to get onto planes naked. Thus I'm sure you haven't got anything that might catch fire, be it nano or that lighter that you got past the security check. This will ensure everything is safe from anything you bring onto the plane and we can fly the luggage in another plane which doesn't have any people on so has a flame retardant atmosphere.
Not that is obviously a straw man argument but does highlight that we are currently taking small risks everytime we fly and adding another very small risk isn't going to be a issue. I'm more worried about one pilot suffering from a heart attack and the other having a stroke.
I'll happily take that challenge. I know the internet is much much better for searching but come on. That short of thing will be very easy to find I'll just look for pictures of walks the in yourkshire dales, millions of sheep in those.
Fair enough points but you are basically talking about selecting for the masses the best and brightest to teach. This selection process is an issue for both countries... For all the American 'ghetto's and trailer parks' the Chinese have 'rice paddy villages and rural backwaters'.
Doesn't mean the Chinese aren't trying harder to fix that though.
I recently had the experience of using a car with a rfid key. It was the most annoying thing to use. Basically when you left the car you couldn't test if the car was locked because you had the key that meant it would automatically unlock. Thus someone else had to test to see if you'd locked it.
If this is fitted to a house then you have the same problems.
Does everyone who uses the house have to have this e.g. the house lock is fully automated. What happens when you have guests and you want just to leave the door open for the kids that are running round your house.
Only thing I've never figured out it why people suggest a headlight... went traveling for 15 months though asia and africa and don't think I ever thought that a headlight would be handy. A light of some sort was occasionally useful but my keyring was easily enough.. maglight a bit better as it light the whole room.
If fact with the correct rock structures its easier to produce energy in none active locations as the cracks which you pump the water are horizontal and not vertical. This means you don't lose the water you pump down.
Then there is this from wiki
"The key characteristic of an EGS (also called a Hot Dry Rock system), is that it reaches at least 10 km down into hard rock. At a typical site two holes would be bored and the deep rock between them fractured. Water would be pumped down one and steam would come up the other. The MIT report estimated that there was enough energy in hard rocks 10 km below the United States to supply all the world's current needs for 30,000 years. There seems no reason why the steam should not feed an existing coal, oil or nuclear fired generating plant."
They suggest 10 times the power by performing the figure of 8's which they have trained computers to do.... seems like a good match if the cables can handle that.
The first thing I though was if I could hack a telephone system out of many what would I do?
Tell everyone I can't and get as many people using that system so that I can listen in onto as many as possible.
I'll go put my tinfoil hat on again now.
As a player of games I'm all for people taking responscibilty for their actions. But there is some fairly sound science backing up the fact that violent video games can have a affect on your mind. Its not possible to run a completely controlled experiment into this (people don't like having their complete lives controlled just for science) but majority of experiments have pointed to an effect. as a small quick search pulls back. http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8449
But they also show that TV has a lesser effect but with more exposure.
Basically what you what/see/interact with will affect your mental state so stopping the general publication of a video nasty game might not be the worst thing in the world.

Agreed on the hard disk naming thing but its been doing that for ages and isn't new to this installer.

Good comments

Meh
Nope due to the judicious use of a 's'.
What it would be like saying is.
'But isn't that like saying you are only years old. Get enough years and you start getting to your real age?'
And that finished this quite pointless post.
Realise its not Saskatchewan but Australia isn't particularly geological active and they've found this:

As a extra bit of information on the figure of 8 kite flying:
