Close. 1200 Mega Amps is actually 1,200,000,000 Amps Please get your nomenclature right, because it makes a big difference.

Careful, 92 square miles and 92 miles square are somewhat different values. That's actually closer to 8,500 square miles required to power the USA. It is still less than 2% of Arizona's land area, but not quite as small of an endeavor.

That's more like the mid-range system I had in 2000. Not a huge difference, but it would be 13 years old at this point. My computer from 2004 that I still use regularly is a P4 2.4 GHz, with 4 gigs of ram. It runs everything I need quite well, with the exception of some of the fanciest new games. Even those would run with reduced graphics if I had to play them on that tower.

Criteria 3 is a FAIL. Just because something may benefit a criminal is no reason to take it away from an innocent person. Cell phones, vehicles, even guns, take your pick. These things all benefit criminals more than innocent people*, and yet no one is calling for them to be taken away en masse. Even the gun lobby just wants to regulate guns, not take them away from every person.

* Take cars for example. Innocent person uses: drive places, haul things, etc. Criminal uses: drive places, haul things, etc, PLUS get away from crime scenes/police, run over enemies, hide drugs, etc. For every 'thing' that can be used by a normal person, a criminal has those same benefits, plus some additional crime-related uses.

I'm going to extrapolate that to relate to laws as well. Even if a right may aid a criminal in some cases, how do you justify taking that right away from innocent people?

Generally if you use a service and they send you email updates, that would not be considered spam. Maybe you don't like the emails, but by maintaining your account, you are agreeing to receive them. The way to 'unsubscribe' would be to cancel the accounts. Since you state that you don't use either account, that shouldn't be a big deal for you. The other option would be to look in the preferences for the accounts. Some services allow you to turn off email notifications of various types.

Not to mention that for the majority of people, if their PC and/or internet aren't working correctly, chat support would be completely useless.

I'm the opposite. I hate carrying around coins. I would rather have a small stack of bills in my wallet than a pocketful of coins, since I have to have the wallet anyway for license, credit card, etc.

That is in one location. The NOAA report is based on average land and ocean surfaces across the whole globe. There will certainly be high and low outliers in any specific place that you wish to look. The point was that overall, the planet has been above the previous average for quite a while.

That would PROVE it true. If the CO2 level is higher this year than in any year past, it is a record. Then if it is even higher the next year, it is again a record, and so on.... presumably every year, until we do something about it or it magically disappears somewhere.

It will have a massive effect. You don't seriously expect auto manufacturers to design and engineer new cars, set up plants to produce all the component parts, and totally retool their assembly lines to build these new models overnight, do you?

Unless someone comes along and repeals the CAFE requirements, which is unlikely, given the political bad-will it would cause, Obama and Congress have made a significant step towards reducing total US emissions.

That is precisely why it is claimed that he is so accurate. Election results will change right up until the day of the election. No one can make a prediction months out that isn't just a wild ass guess.

The fact that he changed Florida to leaning left (based on minor poll movements), and it appears that Florida is indeed leaning left, validates his model quite well. If that changes, and he is wrong on Florida, then maybe his model isn't any better than any of the other sites.

They don't care when life begins, or they would be lobbying for changes to the tax code too, allowing you to claim a dependent the moment a child is conceived. What they really want is control of you and your body when it suits their needs.

Strange, in most of my races, the Republicans are listed first, followed by the Dems, then all the other parties. Maybe it stems from the way your state's ballot information is provided? Who knows.
