You HAVE to be kidding. "They have a giant death ray on the dark side of the moon, and technology to turn the moon around and aim it at us. We know this from the secret Apollo mission files, and from information stolen from the former Soviet Union by spies. They could use the death ray to vaporize our oceans, covering the entire globe with a deadly hot steam. They could use it to incinerate our cities. They would then be able to take Earth over with ease. We have done many things that upset the Zhti Ti Kofft in the past, but actually landing men on their soil would really provoke them!"
For the record, I live in Orlando and know several NASA employees and ex-employees. Just because they worked at NASA doesn't mean that they are: a)credible b)involved in going to Mars c)intelligent
I also enjoy how these _three_ sources all cite the same person, whose only credentials is that "he used to work at NASA" as if that means something.
So I take it that you would prefer them NOT to switch to solar power?
Seriously, I hate it when someone does something good and the response to it is "they are doing other bad things too".
Shaq is only closer than you are when he is standing closer to it (when the moon is over you, or when you are closer to the moon than Shaq is, then you would be the authority). That being said, he is likely NEVER the closerest person to the moon (the moon is over people only slightly shorter than Shaq most of the time.
That being said, the analogy is still bad, this is a space-based satelite. It is not subject to things like atmosphere and earth-based electromagnetic interference.
This is more like wearing a pair of dark sunglasses, and asking someone without sunglasses to describe the colors.
Rule 0 of simulation: Understand what you are simulating.
We can simulate ocean models quite well, they exist in a well-defined wedium with well-defined equations to govern their reaction to a fairly limited number of situations.
We cannot simulate a brain very well, the current understanding is not well defined. Different brains (read:people) respond to stimulus differently based on past experience (to which an individual person can interpret to themselves a number of ways).
We do not understand why people respond the way that they do to a point where we can simulate it. Yet.

Yes, and the length of the ship would be DIFFERENT depending on the frame of reference it is viewed from. Although in classical physics, the reference frame does not matter, in relativistic physics, different reference frames often yeild different answers (both being correct as each frame would/does observe them).
From TFA, it's desined use is for spacecraft. Yes, it would feel such a force, and use it to move away from the planet (or alter it's orbit the same way that thrusters do).
With relativity, the frame in which you consider something happening MATTERS, always.
For instance, let us take a space ship that is moving close to the speed of light towards earth. From their fram of reference, the space ship is 100 meters long. From our frame of reference, it is 100m/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2) long. This is an effect known as length contraction, and is similiar to the time dilation effect you always hear so much about. The thing is, both observers are 100% correct about the ship length, provided that it is measured in their own reference frame.
The time dilation effect, for those of you that don't read sci-fi, states that less "time" passes for those moving close to the speed of light (ie. someone leaves on a rocket, does a big circle at close-to-light speed and comes back has barely aged, while the people on earth had time pass normally).
Considering things from the photons' reference frame is legitimate, and yes, those other photon would be close to at rest. However, the rest of the world would not be viewed at rest. As seen from the photons' frame, the rest of the world is moving at close-to-light speed, and will experience length contraction, time dilation, and mass adjustment (keep in mind that all of these calculated terms will be correct for the reference frame of the photon).
Just to let you know, momentum is conserved under relativistic conditions, it is just divided by a factor of gamma (the sqaure root of: 1-(u/c)^2 where u the relativistic velocity and c is the speed of light.

Whether or not the conventional media like to admit it, there have been a number of tests to determine if telepathy exists, and it is proven TO EXIST. Not only did they prove that it exists, in other tests (remote viewing comes to mind), they had to rule out the idea that the subject telepathic gleaned information about the target before viewing.
Whether or not there is a significant level of communication over a network where people are interacting is yet to be determined (duh, that's why they are testing it), and I personally beleive that there is.
Beleive what you want, but telepathy is a proven, replicable phenomenon.
Many people seem to think "oh, they are doing stupid things, they will go out of business". This refers not just to Sony, but to any number of companies that make poor decisions.
I have never bought an Apple product (regretfully, if I had the choice again, I would have picked up one of their laptops instead of my accursed HP). In the PC market for many years, they had less than a 25% share. Companies can live on less than 10% of the market, yes the shrink, yes they start shying away to different markets, but they can live on.

Yes, this is worthless if everyone does it. However, so are a number of other operations. For example, a friend of mine had a company that used a formula to do daytrading for him (he made over 1M in high school). This company eventually got larger and made progressively less money because of the amount of the market it was controlling (they took comission, and operated in a small market). The formula worked on a small scale, but not on the larger.
To apply to this example, if EVERYONE (or a number of the largest power consumers) used the above method, the rates would change. However, if your company used this method and the others did not, you would have a significant edge. After the sunk cost of the materials, you would have increased efficiency on the whole, regardless of how many people enter the market. This issue of whether to buy another 5 years later, or repair your existing apparatus is a separate issue.
In the short and medium run, worth it. In the long run, depends on the competitors.

Most companies have the goal that people will buy/use the things that they make; it is called a business model.
