So they want to force farmers into constantly buying new seeds every growing season? Doesn't quite sound like the smartest move, considering the agricultre sector in Canada isn't doing so hot, as far as I can tell from the protests when they drive their bloody tractors down the highway at 7AM.
So, sure, the almighty dollar swims in it's pool of gold coins for now, but what happens when farmers realize they can no longer afford to re-invest in an entire season's worth of crops anymore?
I've been waiting for something like this for a couple years now, since I've started working as a draftsman. The amount of paper that companies use for mailing out proposals/revisions/mark-ups is ridiculous. Now they can e-mail a drawing package to whomever, and they can then view at least Arch D drawings (24"x36") easily, and could even use a "red pen" to mark up drawings, and then e-mail the revised drawing package back.
At that point, you could even re-introduce the "drafting table" with integrated AutoCAD or similar. I would love to see this sort of thing as mandatory as a plotter.
I don't know about other universities, but at mine you have to take a C programming course in first-year engineering(regardless of discipline), and pass it in order to go into second-year studies. I found it interesting, and actually looked forward to writing the assignments/exam.

Is it wrong to want to create a transparent/translucent non-newtonian fluid, and substitute that into a high dive pool?
Or even drop the cornstarch solution from one of those airplanes used for forest fires?
