They also pay an arm and a leg for malpractice insurance, that would become obsolete with a single payer system. I have an uncle that's an OBGYN, and he pays roughly 400k a year in malpractice insurance.

An authenticator in this day and age makes sense to connect to SSNs.

How trite. A Faux News watcher that hasn't heard how backwards and blatantly untrue this sentiment is.

Await the long foretold coming of out robot servants! Who of course then become our overlords, but can't have everything.

The older stories I read talked about it being over John Carmack, and though that was BS.

If the last line is correct, I think they have every right to sue.

Might be why MS is trying to get a subscription model for Windows going. You get your unchanging software, and they get to make money.

Möbius strip resume?

Become bug zapper repairmen. Also, rodent and creeping bug removers.

Actually, no. I dissent all the time.

Do I incite riots? Nope.

Is there any way to avoid such a thing short of cutting my net connection?

Generally I am not too worried about the NSA. I think it is BS what they do as far as invasion of privacy. But I personally have nothing to hide.

But this has completely changed the small amount of reluctance I had in becoming a "ZOMG da sky iz fallinz!" type.

Burn these fuckers.

Anything to incite civil unrest against a group of people(no, the government doesn't count) and lies to discredit people.

Those should be disallowed.

Anything else should be free game.

Hmm, I though a tetrahedron was the proper shape.

You got that too huh?

I didn't take any of the religion courses, but they did indeed shoot themselves in the foot many times.

Too bad I didn't take the hints more to heart sooner. Lost many years of my life to BS.

Except that UTOPIA is basically publicly owned. They only build out when they get a contract with a city, and so far the cities more or less own the networks when they are finished.

Citation: I am a UTOPIA user, and have been an avid follower of their plans for over 10 years.

Assuming my townhouse has a roof that is optimal to get full coverage from an optimally angled 100% efficient photovoltaic cell that is 16 square meters in size, on a clear day my solar array would produce on December 21st a bit over 10.6 kWh on average. So 254.4 kW per day on the worst day of the year.

The Tesla S uses 85 kW/h. I could drive 3 hours a day, assuming no household use and perfect transference/storage.

Or more realistically, 1 hour a day, and that leaves 269.4 kW for household use. Since the average household in the US of 1500 sq.ft. uses 864 kWh per month, I'd have an excess part way through the third day to "sell" to others.

So even at 50% efficiency, I'd have plenty of power, assuming clear skies, and the worst day of the year to gather every day.
