Have you seen this list of some of the few alternatives?

I did a little looking around to find out how much atmospheric moisture there is at 20km altitude, and it doesn't look like there's very much, especially away from the tropics.

I don't think Tim O'Reilly cares.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but Cheney's ties to Halliburton make a difference. Even as an adult understands the reason why a stove element glows red, anyone experienced in politics knows there needs to be a bidding process that will stand up to an ethics audit if you're thinking of giving a contract to an outfit that used to employ you in a management position. If they didn't have time for the bidding, one of the other two or three companies should have been picked.

I have it on good authority that a monopoly exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity. Google does not have a monopoly. Title Seven, Article 102 of the Lisbon Treaty addresses "a dominant position within the internal market or in a substantial part of it." A company doesn't have to have a monopoly to be subject to special extra regulation by the EU, just the largest percentage of market share.

That wouldn't be the way to go. Rather, CyanogenMMod would be a parallel product with extended features and a faster update cycle. After a year and a half of the two running in parallel, they release the message "We've regretfully decided to stop future development of the original flavor CyanogenMod after the next update as the vast majority of our users prefer CyanogenMMod, so we're concentrating our efforts there. We have the greatest regard for our original flavor CyanogenMod users and will leave the last update available for download until it is utterly obsolete."

Valve might be better off aiming their Linux gaming resources in the Iris Pro direction. Intel is nicer to Linux, and the rate at which their graphics hardware is improving is fast enough (and getting enough synergy in the thermal and power requirements) that they'll be overbearing Nvidia's revenue stream at the bottom end before long and quickly catching up from there.

and the only advertisement was for adwords. Then, I searched for 'adwords competitors' and found competitors to adwords among the search results, but still no advertisements from competitors to adwords. This seems like the sort of thing they're complaining about. But, while I use Google search as if it were a utility, I don't think search is considered to be a public utility at this time. When I think about an analogy other than common carrier requirements, what comes to mind is requiring the Parcelforce logo and phone number be painted onto a corner of DHL vehicles so that people might consider the alternative service.

I agree. I'd much rather see a large drone release a little drone that homes in on one guy and shoots him than I would see that same drone release an explosive missile that blows up the guy and the seven people standing next to him. If we're going to kill people with drones (and, I'm not saying we should, but it sure looks like that's going to be happening), we should use all the technology we can to reduce collateral damage as much as possible.

A drone that only carries a camera can weigh a lot less than a package delivery drone, so the FAA may be a little bit less concerned about what happens if one falls on you (until someone gets seriously injured by that, at least).

9.3% state income tax + 7.5% sales tax + drought might have something to do with that.

The observable behavior of the anti-net neutrality companies speaks very clearly for the reason to have net neutrality rules.

According to http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/adjustment-status that same form is used for "Adjustment of status." They say

and also

After that, you apparently file form I-485 for yourself.

I think employers helping their existing H1-B's to obtain permanent resident status would show that they're not interested in the extra negotiating power the employee's non-resident status gives the employer. OTOH if they're not willing to help their current H1-B employees obtain permanent resident status, but they still petition for more H1-B's, this shows legislators clearly that they consider lack of residence as desirable in an employee.

If they really have a problem with the cap, couldn't they file form I-140 for their current crop of H1-B's and get them green cards, thus reducing the number of H1-B's below the cap?

Hell yes, I can complain about it. There's always a huge list of deserving but unfunded Federal projects that would actually work that could have been paid for with that money. The problem isn't trying something that didn't work out. The problem is putting this kind of money into something when the reasons why it didn't work out are simple and obvious enough to fit into short paragraphs in that article. It's not just 20-20 hindsight. It's people telling those who saw these problems on day one "you may be right, but lets just build it and find out" when they're the ones getting paid to do the building. For less than half a billion dollars you could hire a lot of incredibly smart people who could explain with simple diagrams and small words why a given project is conceptually doomed and throwing a couple billion dollars at it can't be classified as anything other than pork. Then, the people thinking up these projects could keep trying until they come up with something that, should it fail, will do so for reasons that are actually complex and unforeseen.
