You are aware that you could throw out a CFL after you're done using it, right into a landfill, and you've still put less mercury into the environment than you would lighting an incandescent bulb powered by a coal factory, correct?
So if a properly forged letter showed up at the country recorder's office, and they removed the lien from your your property, you own it out right? Looks like someone hasn't though their authentication method all the way through.
Replace "sneakernet" with VPN tunnels to a central datacenter location. Us IT folks are a fairly resourceful bunch. VPN tunnels can be explained away as work connections. Why so much traffic? I do graphics/video design work for a living sir!
We host applications and infrastructure for large/extremely large US and European businesses, as well as the federal government. You'd be shocked how much equipment we purchase, configure, and distribute to data centers on 3 continents.
As I said before, "Which only works against people with stuff to take." If you have nothing, and don't plan on every making anything, you're fairly judgment-proof. Also, if you don't intend on continuing to live in the US, there are a host of countries out there that are pleasant to live in that won't honor a US civil judgment.
Comcast has been moving to their own national iBone network to push traffic around the country, presumably to lower their bandwidth costs to Tier1/Tier2 networks.
Did go with the business package (no total transfer caps with the business package). $199/month. I don't have a need for the static IPs, as I VPN back to datacenter space I have at Equinix.
I'm sure Tesla Motors would be surprised to learn that they have many tens of billions of dollars coming to them to rebuild the grid. And why are you bringing up federal loans earmarked to make up for shortfalls in the private industry when it comes to the advancement of technology to defend private industry anyways?
I'm simply saying that the Department of Energy is more than interested in not only vehicle electrification, but also intelligent electrical infrastructure and a diversified renewable energy portfolio. So, if they're going to folk out $400M to Tesla, I'm sure they can scrap together a grant or loan for an individual or small business to work on technology/protocols/etc. for building intelligence into the national electrical transmission/distribution system.
Who do I turn to in order to loan me the tens of billions of dollars needed to make it a success?
The Department of Energy will give you a long-term low-interest loan to do that I believe. They're giving Tesla Motors just that very kind of loan in the next 2-6 months.
We could find out Obama has some sort of underground lab where he works on armor powered by an implanted reactor of some sort. Yes, we can definitely get more awesome.
Let me use an example. The Chicago suburbs (one of which I live in). Public transportation from the 'burbs to downtown is easy. Anyone can do a hub and spoke light rail system (called Metra in our area). But how do you get around using public transportation from suburb to suburb? Bus? Doesn't happen. You can't cover hundreds of square miles with public transportation, becasue public transportation is built specifically for high density areas (for our purposes, I exclude things like Amtrak, the bullet train in Japan, and other long haul public transportation options).
Public transportation doesn't work in the suburbs nor in rural areas, which a lot of the US is composed of (although public transportation should be used in heavily urban areas). And don't even say "burn down the suburbs" or some bullshit like that, because it ain't going to happen. You'll see an electrification of transportation over the next decade, which gives you the benefit of being able to use renewable energy to power your vehicle while having a level of mobility unattainable with public transportation.
Which is exactly why people will pay $150 extra to get XP with a new PC/laptop instead of getting Vista? And why Microsoft is full steam ahead on Windows 7 because no one will use the dog shiat that is Vista?

Go into Walmart. Buy three different CFLs made by different companies. Take them home and test them. Return the ones you don't like. Profit.

So will SSDs eventually be replaced with battery-backed RAM-based drives? SSD is fast, but DRAM is faster.

The cake is a lie?
Apparently someone can't document their code worth shiat then.

7Mb/s up. Not horrible, but it's no FIOS.
This is the part where I tell you I have a 50Mb/s down connection from Comcast that gets close to that, and you come search me out with an ice pick.

Only $500 million a year? That's what one shuttle launch costs. It appears our DoE could use a bit of a budget boost.

You here that? That's the noise hell makes as it flash freezes.
I'd rather hear, "Stand back! I'm performing science!"

Except driving a less safe car doesn't stop the asshole whose going to run into you from running into you.

Thanks for the info. Just added the documentary to my Netflix Watch It Now queue.
