Great for areas of the earth that have the climate to support it.

My natural gas costs a fraction of what my electric bill is. Neighbors who went with electric heat have a bill that is 5-10 times my natural gas and electric bill combine. Also heat pumps stop really working when it is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, so other forms of heating are required. BTW: for me -20 degrees Fahrenheit would be a warm winter day, I get ~100 days a year below that -20 Fahrenheit.

And to top it off my electric comes from a coal power - so using more electricity is good in what way for everyone? I think for us humans, we need to a far better solution that burning fossil fuels for energy. Especially for people who live in the Northern areas.

Round is a shape. A good shape right?

Only 403 EV cars registered in Saskatchewan @ $150 extra will come to $60,450 in revenue. I bet they will hire a new employee and support staff to support the collection and management of this extra tax to 'save' money.
Not a fan of a flat tax. It should be a usage 'mileage' based like the current gas model. Bigger vehicles could be harder on roads and also consume more gas and as a result pay more gas tax. If it has to be taxed to cover road cost then it should be at the charge stations. But the tax should be done later, once the market matures.

With out solid performance requirement before federal payments can occur the big business will just funnel the money into executive bonuses and nothing else will occur.
We already know from the trickle down economic plan does not just work - it rich horded the money and just increased their savings without spending the money. The same will occur here unless there are serious conditions that MUST be achieved to get the funding.

Not only the students. Many teachers are not skilled at online teaching or using the tools to effectively teach online.

The vast spectrum of teaching online was apparent right from the start of Covid. Some teachers from the same school used zoom, other teams, or skype, or... various others. Some teachers held daily check-ins while other actually taught a class like they normally would and leveraged tech tools. The worst was the teacher that just sent out an email every Monday exactly at 8 AM that literally said "read the next chapter and do the questions at the end of the chapter (no need to hand in)" - also same teacher unresponsive to any emails from students.

Remote learning still requires a good Remote learning teacher, willing students who want to really learn, and good support structures (including software).

Would they be Self Serve 'Gas' Station or would it include full service?

Can they be mounted on Sharks?

The HP TC1100 has similar specs (in some cases better) than the iPad.

It came out in 2003 and it ran XP:

Apple took proven existing technology (from ~2003) polished the OS up and made it largely idiot proof and then marketed the shit out of. Obviously a very successfully. Absolutely brilliant to be able to polish a terd and then convince people to buy it - it helps they did a very good job polishing it.

HA HA HA.
The prison guard tell them what to do all the time - the whole system is just a big gang.

I think the same can be said about the government. After all the US President is tasked with giving directions and his fellow gang members try to achieve the goals. Although there are two gangs running the country both are just legitimized organized criminal gangs. Pay your protection money, I mean taxes!

When I read the title I thought it would use your location in the part to valid you. IE: your IP indicates you are attempting to log-in from Europe and yet 1 hour ago you where logged in at your home in California. I have seen a website already do something similar to to... when I was using a proxy server and hit my account it knew my access was not from my regular IP address and prompted me for a some more security questions for validations - the secret question I wrote for the extra level of security (and it sent me a email that my account was accessed from non-typical IP address and supplied the IP address and time).

Nice to see. But click on a map seems a little to easy to hack or shoulder read.

He is a spectacular stage actor.

I had seen him long ago and remember how good his was then.

His talent was opening door for him long before Star Trek. But TV series launched him as a very recognizable actor. I am sure he would have been noticed with out Star Trek but it did help is Career and maybe got him knight a few years early.

There are Archive quality DVDs....

TDK states their metal-stabilized Cyanine is also stable for 70 years.

Mitsubishi went in a different direction and produced what is called a Metal Azo dye, that they claim is stable for around 100 years.

Then there is Matsui?

Duplicated the data on 5+ disks (like in a RAID structure - maybe even RAID 10 if cost is no object). Supply the whole system to read the data and then have back up hardware in triple redundancy.

The cheaper solution would be to make a bit torrent of it and have various museum's host the entire bit torrent.

If I want it secure I have to create a VPN back to my home computer and establish a secure connection that way but it even gets slower then. For me to really buy into a free WiFi network they really need to demonstrate security.

How many IT staff would go mad in the sea of network wires?

At the point of 100,000+ ports I would rather invest heavily in research to make a wireless switch that can handle 100,000+ connections at Gigabit speeds (and of course a corresponding wireless devices interface for each rack).
