Furthermore, when home solar really works, I'm ditching my gas furnace, and getting a 2nd electric car. I'll still be on the grid long after I stop buying petroleum and natural gas.

Today's it's 75% of my trash. I pulled a whole bunch of Oriental Bittersweet down last weekend. The stuff is taking over my town's woods and killing all the native plants. It's loaded with seeds, so the only proper way to dispose of it is either burning, or the municipal waste stream. (In my case, the municipal waste stream is a trash-burning power plant.)

When you get questions like that, politely end the interview.

In MA, we're so supposed to put invasive species in the trash instead of compost.

This really buggered me, because until the U2 album incident; only items that I added myself showed up in my iTunes library. Apple already has plenty of ways to offer free downloads through the iTunes store; so there's no reason for them to automatically put it in everyone's account.

Schools are in the business of producing degrees and protecting their reputation. They aren't in the "teaching" business. If I knew more about computer science when I was in high school; I'd have applied to very different schools. Unfortunately, I needed a few years in my career to really learn how to judge a school.

There are many parts of the country where speed limits are so ridiculously low that judges routinely throw out tickets. Remember, speed limits aren't determined by safety studies; they're determined by politics and local convention.

I chose to move back to my hometown based on the quality of its services. There's plenty of towns to choose from!

When I finally moved back a few months ago, the technicians who set me up kept raving about how awesome it is to work for my town's municipal broadband. We have municipal electricity, TV, and phone too!

My hometown has municipal broadband, it's had it since 2000. It works much better than Comcast, and they're much easier to work with.

Syncplicity lets enterprises store files on their own servers, with an extra layer of authentication that prevents Syncplicity staff from getting to the files. It still allows for access to these files through a web browser. When enterprises use single-sign-on, users don't even realize that they're authenticating multiple times.

This is a very hard problem to solve for consumers, though. Most people don't have the time to set up their own cloud servers.

Aereo's implementation doesn't feel like watching live TV. It buffers for about 60 seconds; channel surfing is impossible...

What I wonder is how "Aereo-specific" this ruling is? What if I rented a room in Boson and let you mail me a tiny device that I'd plug into a power supply and ethernet port?

Just in! [Major hard drive manufacturer] is now offering [large amount of space] for [small amount of money]. This is amazing because, just [a short period of time] ago, they used to charge [small amount of money] for [almost as large of an amount of space].

The free market didn't build the roads.

Sadly, environmental issues, and limited resources, isn't something that the free market will handle when left to its own devices. I have no sympathy for automakers that need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

Now I want to buy an electric Fiat out of spite!
