Does the US manufacture a significant amount of solar panels, or will much of this money go overseas?

Does XM Satellite radio count? It maxes out at 64kbps.
Okay, I withdraw my statement and shame myself because I didn't RTFA. The article says:
Electricity sockets on Overground trains are clearly marked with the words: “cleaners use only and not for public use”.
the guy was using a socket clearly marked not for public use
What the heck does "clearly not marked for public use" mean? I've never seen a socket marked either way. In the US, people do this all the time in airports and convention centers. It is common to see a cluster of people hanging out in an otherwise unused area of a convention center or airport, huddled around some power outlets.
I like your zoology analogy. I would like to add that naming things is useful and important.
Years ago, I presented a 5-10 page design for a software component to my manager and the company architect. I had a nice document with diagrams and all that. After about 10 minutes in the meeting of presenting some stuff, the architect patiently said something like "So you plan on using a builder pattern, using chain of responsibility to dispatch the events. Sounds good, go for it!" He called for the meeting to be over and, slightly stunned, that ended the meeting.
This was a really good experience. Had I known the design patterns for what I was putting together, I could have simplified my document into a few paragraphs and saved a lot of time. Having a common vocabulary makes it easier and faster to communicate.
Anyone who has designed with multiple teams with different backgrounds will have similar experiences with vocabulary. One person says "queue" but they really meant "signal" and 45 minutes of arguing happens before the parties realize they meant the same thing but didn't know the word. (P.S. Microsoft loves to confuse terminology by naming their products after industry acronyms. Their development platform is "Dot Net" their SQL server is "SQL Server" and their web framework is "MVC")

I don't know about other OSs, but with Windows, the OS actually already knows some of this information. The appdata\roaming folder is important stuff that should go with you. The appdata\local can be lost, and just stays with the machine. appdata\locallow is even less important. The folders above appdata are user's files and are extremely important. Also, there are hints in the Windows CreateFile API where you can specify access patterns, including one which means "delete upon close."
Unfortunately, most apps don't use these features correctly. But if they did, they could be useful hints to the drive as to how to allocate things.
Are you familiar with the recent judgement against Time Warner Cable over a very similar matter?
we are assured that her social security number is not being used and that they will clear her name and email address out of their system. Yet a few weeks later we get another email.
Then they are not clearing it out: they are either incompetent or lying. Consider having a lawyer draft a letter referencing this recent judgement. That might help.
As a discussion grows longer, doesn't the probably of every topic increase?

I think weilawei really meant to say: "Provide a technical argument for why Node.js is gaining so much popularity." I am not sure if your post does that.
The features you listed are in pretty much every other major language. The book you referenced is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at how to use the good parts of a bad language. The conclusion I reach from those points is "yeah, it's bad, but see how people took the good parts and made it useful." Which doesn't really support the argument for why it is gaining popularity on the server-side.
The rebalancing is why a historical comparison is valid. If they didn't rebalance, it would have even fewer companies, and become even less representative of the economy.
