Provided they have the capital, can find appropriate unsigned talent, negotiate around any contracts put into force with the backing of monopoly power on other bussiness that support the industry, and survive the assult on all fronts by the incumbant.

It is important to note that base pay for that major is probably less then half of their total monetary compensation, and a large portion of that compensation is tax-free. BAH could be several thousand a month all by it's self.

A quick google search showed average compensation is about $101K/year

I feel the 0-4 is certainly worth it, in many respects.

Because you can employ that million dollars to receive a larger return.

There is a diffrence to having speech and having the right to free speech. There is no fundemental reason that a coorporation should have "rights" as they are regarded and defined in the Constitution. That doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to exercise the same functions, which they obviously do. What it does mean is that law can be constructed to limit their exercise of the same function.

For example, a corporation doesn't have the right to own a handgun.
The Government hasn't made a law restricting a corporation from owning a handgun.
The Corporation may buy and possess a handgun, should it's officers decide to do so.

This is the line of thinking that citizens united over turned.

In the above mentioned example, modified to refelect the personhood of a corporation:
A corporation has the right to own a handgun.
The Government may not restrict a corporation from to own a handgun.
The Corporation may decided to possess any number of handguns, should it decided to do so.

If you replace all mentions of people/citizens with corporation in the Amendments it is pretty scary. I was going to post it here, but after doing the 9th I couldn't go on.

Sounds really workable. Good thinking.

There is also the high pressure that the fracking soulutions are placed under, and impropper containment.

I looked for it too, and was unable to find it. I was however frightened by the TSA Blog page about kids traveling, where they so gleefully talk about how much fun getting searched, probed and poked is going to be.

They are 6 and 9. It is in the summary and the article.

Easier, cheaper and a larger return, but it doesn't fail safe.

Does Mars have ferrous in it's core? Wikipedia (I know, grain of salt) says Current models of the planet's interior imply a core region about 1,794 km ± 65 km (1,115 mi ± 40 mi) in radius, consisting primarily of iron and nickel with about 16–17% sulfur.

How much energy would need to be directed to Mars to melt the core, and would it naturally create a magnetic feild strong enough to protect the atmosphere?

Commets might be a bit of a blunt instrument for such an endevor, and certainly wouldn't work to keep the core liquid unless we added a lot of mass. I don't beleive there is a way we can accomplish the reheating the core, while still preserving the planet in a fashion that we could terraform. There has to be some wacky idea to do it.

Why wouldn't you be able to opt-out? They want to compete with, not ban the other Telco's.

But they have seen it. That's why they started creating their own content. They aren't going to be able to buy all the IP out there, and they can't lease what isn't up for grabs. However, if they can get into quality content generation, they have cost savings from vertical integration, and enough of a unique draw that they can put up with any IP owner that would deny access to their content. Granted, they aren't very prolific yet. They described it as being the HBO of the Internet before HBO can be the HBO of Internet.

The point being that the capital depreciation can be offset making the TCO lower. It is an important factor in the math. You want to compare TCO of your current kit vs. TCO of optional kit, and a 4K swing might change the winner.

Or have a closed loop exchange heat with an open loop, depending on the relative tempratures. If you have a liquid that significantly exceeds the boiling point of water in the closed loop there should be enough room to operate. Your going to loose effiency, there is a ton of Sun and open area in many dry places.

This should have been the first and only post. Very well done, clean concise facts.
