Not a farmer myself, but live in the country and am in close contact with some of them - they sell on the local market, we discuss...

You use satellite-based information to decide when to sow your crops, when to irrigate (if necessary), and when to harvest. When exteme weather events are likely, you go check your fields more regularly. You need finer-grained information than just the national weather for this, you want to know your local circumstances. And yes, with this information, you can improve yields, limit risk of harvest loss, and ultimately keep food prices at a reasonable level.

Why would the US want to get rid of valuable information for their farmers is beyond me - in the rest of the world, we are not dependent on your stuff, so well, have it your way...

And how does that make you feel?

Well, what if you scale it up? Harness a large number of peacocks, and aim them somehow at a target? You could build the first environment-friendly laser CIWS, also mostly maintenance-free. Imagine a ballistic missile worth hundred of millions of dollars shot by [insert rogue dictatorship here], downed by a cluster of peacocks. The face that [insert rogue dictatorship leader here] would make upon hearing the news. The heads of the generals rolling. Why didn't my missile destroy [insert valuable objective here]? What do you mean, *peacocks*? Is that some kind of joke, Herr General? You know we don't like joking much around here, hmm? And as an added bonus, in times of peace, you can eat your laser defense.

It's peacocks all the way down!

We don't need to try listening to the distorted sound of the early universe to suggest we are living in a giant void, turning on the TV does the trick.

Another one bites the dust!

Using the same word for everything is very Smurf-like. So I guess that's where the Smurfs work in the real world - marketing?

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of apes (and rocks) hurtling down the highway!

Oh, I did not spot that... So, they name all their software after legacy unrelated applications and file formats. ARC then, now Dia (the Diagram Editor)...This is not a coincidence. It must be some marketing ploy for... Something? Maybe? I don't know, I'm not a marketer. What do they gain from this?
