If covering 0.01% of the surface area of the US could supply 7.5% of the electricity, covering 100% of the US would supply 75000% of our power needs (under the unrealistic most optimal conditions you state). A billion square meters is only ~33km*33km, which wouldn't even take up a fraction of one of our major southwestern deserts.
There are 311 million residents, why would you only put down 3 square meters per person? The average middle class home roof is approximately 200 square meters and there's a good deal more roof space for businesses. Obviously there are many constraints and other costs preventing that, but it seems like the most optimal conditions would allow for more than 7.5% in roof space alone. You can fit a billion
What else would you expect from a subsidiary of a media company that hires nearly every candidate as a consultant and donates millions of dollars to a particular party?
Give him a breakdown of licensing and support costs for the next 5 years. Windows Server gets pretty expensive when you start adding the client acces licenses in for all of the different products.
If you've got a small enough organization, you can probably get by with gmail tied to your domain and either dropbox or serverless CIFS for sharing files.
They could be printed with food safe UV ink on the foods themselves. I've wondered why microwaves don't do this. I realize that cook times vary, but you could store the kWh to cook the food along with power levels and timing in the QR code.
I can second this. I only use my AppleTV for Plex (an XBMC fork) and sometimes Netflix. The rest of the content channels are useless to me. I'm debating buying one or more raspberry Pis for applications that won't have them hooked up to a TV.
I don't want the government to tell me what I can and can't do, but it should at least make sure I am able to get the correct information to make that choice. I've met people who still think that smoking doesn't cause cancer, and I agree that they should be allowed to smoke because at this point in time they have enough information to make their own decisions. Companies are allowed to use advertising to distort the truth which makes it difficult to make your own decisions. The tobacco companies were allowed to advertise that cigarettes were not harmful: http://devilintheflesh.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/36-chesterfield-cigarettes-are-good-for-you-ad1.jpg The media used be so corrupt that it would have been cheap to place an article on the health benefits of cigarettes in a popular newspaper. Without access to good information, does the "personal responsibility" approach expect every citizen to conduct their own 50 year study before they start smoking?
I may be making bad assumptions here, my TCP and UDP knowledge is pretty rusty. It seems like if the algorithm wasn't smart enough to keep track of the full connection state, you could spoof a protocol appropriate TCP or UDP packet from the remote IP and port to avoid a block. Alternately, you might be able to avoid detection by using a common port like 53 for your UDP VPN and spoofing valid DNS response packets. If that caused problems for your VPN client, you could set a flag on them that causes them to be dropped or allows you to drop them before they confuse the client such as the fragment bit or the evil bit.

Is your town Manhattan? Miles of stop and go traffic is a bit different from a mid-sized city or smaller.
Sci-Fi sometimes inspires current or future scientists.
Solution: mirrored roads

Apple has only recently started paying dividends and it doesn't look like they're giving away that much cash at all.
It's a better business plan than some dot-coms. At least you have some sort of revenue model.

I do agree with you, but most people that buy Dacor appliances seem to be the type to be remodeling their kitchens every 5 years anyways.
The oven uses dual P4 chips for heating elements.

In the US, a "2 by 4" isn't even 2" by 4" any more. It's 1-1/2" x 3-1/2".
Sadly, many companies can not afford to re-engineer their products and buy all new tooling.
You're right, it's only useful for the people who have to measure things frequently. Scientists, engineers, construction workers, cooks, etc.
The fuel could be launched from the asteroid and dock with the moving mars craft.

Do you support publicly funded research? Without it, we'd have to rely on the tobacco companies to tell us whether or not their products cause cancer.

You might be able to use this to simulate encrypted traffic to something legitimate and cause it to be blocked.
An onsite generator is not passive safety.
They need to be located near a large river or lake, too
The server will be spending 50% of its life rebooting to apply minor updates and install software, reducing the risk of a security breach.
So when will they start firing rockets into Egypt and Jordan? They also share borders with the territories.
