  5. Of course I tell the police where a bank robber was otherwise he might rob my house next. But why not just ask the NSA clearly most criminals are too dumb to turn the phone off and very few murders or premeditated So therefore they also have the phone on. And once they're in jail since it costs more than college anyway force them to take a 4 year "MOOK" class "college class online" "Massive open online course" on @Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Well I couldn't get a hold of a tesla power wall so I bought 4 Trojan re batteries made for solar $1600. a wonderful learning experience . clearly batteries are the future with Solar if all homes have batteries and most Will soon, at least in the form of electric car then there will be very little transmission line infrastructure to build out maybe only to tear down. I can see a future were appliances are all sold with 24 hours worth of battery built in, the TV the refrigerator have a battery enough to run them through the night from the solar they store during the day and the grid will basically be a backup generator The only way power goes out at my house as if the grid goes down and it's cloudy for four days and that's because I don't own a generator Batteries and solar are awesome!

    Why would anybody buy a spinning hard drive today so slow and solid-state drives are so cheap . I have a terabyte SSD drive in the new MacBook has read and write speeds close to a gigabyte a sec I have an eight-year-old MacBook, that before I swapped the hard drives for ssd had a 22 MB a second read write speed.
