That marginal rate is half of California's. And unlike Seattle, Silicon Valley has pleasant weather. All of a sudden Seattle is going to look a little less attractive, and a little less competitive a location to do business.
Right. Because California would *never* considering raising taxes while running a deficit that rivals the Grand Canyon.
The AdWords system was initially implemented on top of the MySQL database engine. After the system had been launched, management decided to use a commercial database (Oracle) instead. The system became much slower, so eventually it was returned to MySQL [3]. The interface has also been revamped to offer better work flow with additional new features, such as Spreadsheet Editing, Search Query Reports, and better conversion metrics.
I own a small hosting company. We have operations in the US, Europe, and Asia. Each operation is owned by a seperate corporate entity. Chance favors the prepared.
USPS contracts priority, express, and even some first class mail to Fedex. Sending something priority more than a couple hundred miles? It's flying a Fedex cargo plane to get across the country (express mail too). Also, DHL is mostly dead in the US.
As with most open source projects, no, not yet. Nor do said tools exist yet with OpenStack (which, luckily, you can shamelessly use without having to pay Rackspace). But there was a point where PostgreSQL wasn't running the.ORG root, and look where we are now. I've seen how money gets wasted on Oracle, Microsoft, etc implementations, at both private companies and the federal government. It'd be nice for money to be used for progress, not Larry Ellison's personal fighter jet toy.
Or an extremely sensitive receiver near the volcano edge. Perhaps using extremely low frequency signals to get through the dense molten/solid rock? Slow as hell bitrate though =(
Video. I was at the Metro (concert venue in Chicago) last night, and took some pretty awesome video from the side of the stage while the band was playing, and uploaded it from my Nexus One. Trivial? Perhaps. But that's what I'm paying T-Mobile for unlimited data for (+1 for 3G in Chicago; had 2.5Mb/s up).
Depends. The original UAVs, the Predator and Global Hawk UAVs were not originally carrying anything except surveillance gear. Now, both the Predator and it's big brother the Reaper [http://www.google.com/search?q=Reaper+UAV] carry Hellfire missiles in day-to-day operations. I don't believe the Global Hawk does this though (although they are *great* for long range/loiter operations compared to the Predator/Reaper).
I live roughly 80 miles east of there. Does it appear to be in anyone's backyard? For this argument, I don't consider a corn field or other parcel of land used for food production to be a backyard.
Unless the oil companies own the uranium mine that is fueling the Northern Illinois Excelon reactors that power my Tesla Roadster, than no, they're not going to be fueling the power plants I use.
I have, in the past, also lived less than a mile from a coal power plant. That didn't bother me either. The plant was almost entirely unnoticeable except on rare occasion when they had to unload a hopper, which resulted in a rather loud whoosh as all the coal dumped out.
You're aware you were breathing in large amounts of heavy metals and radioactive materials which were former residence of the millions of pounds of coal burned every minute, correct? Yes, I can want first world standards without demanding coal be the way the power for that lifestyle is maintained.
First, I'd be happy to have any of that infrastructure in my backyard. Second, the whole point of an electric vehicle infrastructure across the country is that you can push power from where it's generated to where it's needed, so *you don't have to have infrastructure in your backyard*.
Will you be the first to volunteer to have a new power plant of any sort in your back yard?
Yes. I'd be happy to live near any sort of nuclear reactor. Hell, I'd live on the god damn property. They put out less radiation each year than *a fucking coal plant* (due to the uranium in the coal being burned).
The upfront cost *does* make sense over the life of the vehicle though. Also, resale value holds up better, and as long as interest rates are lower, you pay a smaller interest penalty for that hybrid premium.

Just sayin'.

So, Fedex and UPS, with the USPS picking up the last mile for first class mail.

THIS. Want a private "cloud"? http://forum.eucalyptus.com/
Free. API-compliant with EC2 (and somewhat with S3). Deployable on your own hardware.
* Guinness Guys Commercial Voice* BRILLIANT!

Clearly just the ugly ones. No sense in throwing the easy-on-the-eyes ones into a volcano, eh?
I was able to see the Centurion in a live fire operation. It is a formidable opponent.

No, no they won't be hard to shoot. Fight science....with SCIENCE!

Not faster than a Phalanx with Lockheed Martin's new laser system mounted on it.

So, until they're faster than light, I'm not concerned =)
Cheap or free right-of-ways. Not everyone backhauls with microwave unless you're in the boondocks.

Then what? Not going to fly? Good luck getting across an ocean via boat in a reasonable amount of time.
This is where the Byron nuclear power plant is that powers my home and my electric vehicle:

In almost all states, three wheel vehicles are regulated and licensed as motorcycles, not "cars".
