Whoah!

Mike Lorrey Intoned: (commenting on Mr. Bradbury's news)
This implies that such macroengineering structures, if equipped with
this technology, would be capable of stealthing themselves entirely
within the cosmic background radiation. Such entities would recycle
their waste heat round and round within the structure, cooling their
black body temperature significantly.

So you are jumping from energy efficiency to Dyson spheres? (whistles)
Let me ask you, do you even think a civilization capable of making a dyson
sphere would consider efficiency to be an issue? I would then imagine the
builders of such a realm, caulking their dyson sphere or perhaps adding pink
fibreglass® insulation to their Sphere. Perhaps we should be searching the
skies for home, fixer-upper, do-it-yerself programs called: This Olde Sphere.
