So essentially, mountains are the problem. I say level (some of) them. Use the rock to elevate the valleys, so you end up with huge (slightly curved, higher altitude) basins that will be fertile and won't wash away. Of course, you shouldn't be doing this to all mountains, because we like the fact that clean water runs down them and we can use the potential energy of high-up water for the generation of electricity.
Doesn't high frequency trading abolish the market makers ? I mean, when you buy a shitload of stock at a certain price, you take that volume out of the order book. Since you usually buy low (or start picking at the low end of the order book), the higher offers to sell in the order book remain. That drives the average price up (logical, since you've just set the 'demand' side to high), and will force market makers to inject a certain amount of that security as an offer in the order book at the (now inflated) price. However, a split-second later the order to sell the same amount at the (now accepted) higher price is back in the order book by the buying party, forcing the market maker to either withdraw their bid, or accept the price of the seller. That is not profitable to them.
Pray tell, what kind of conversation would we be having if this was 1859-1870 ? And don't forget to mention how that would all fit into the context of, for example, the internet we have today and how it was developed. Or modern medicine. Or modern education even. As if you can just rewind history, copy one little piece, wind forward, and paste. What a load of bollocks.
It's a very clever scheme in which they're trying to lower the cost of education in the long run. High quality textbooks cost more money than low quality textbooks. Dumb people don't need no high quality textbooks. And yes, I know that's a double negative.
If you think that locally, people should have the right to be morons, then you should also think that locally, people should have the right not to have any education at all ? Why produce textbooks if they are inferior textbooks ?
You could propose that the freedom of a platform (represented by a number), multiplied by the number of its user base, averaged out for all platforms, represents another number. The addition of another platform may expand the amount of users or steal users from other platforms, but that doesn't really matter. The freedom-number of the new platform may in- or decrease the freedom-number of the total.
Or you go the slightly less dramatic route and say: countries will only allow container-ships whose cargo has been completely cleared by the sending party (whom you trust) and has had its itinerary checked throughout its journey. Which is relatively easy, even given today's standards of technology.
In other words: if you own a wall and someone scribbles 'whoever reads this, sucks' on it, you're liable. I can see that, but it's not how, at the moment, most of the western world is put together. Walls would have to be extremely clean, for example.
Not to mention that countries around large sand deserts must experience continuous layers of dust-clouds of silicate all the time. And although the reputation of airliners around, for example, the Sahara is not super, it isn't all that bad either, in most cases.
"do you mean force it to be deleted on the grounds that the data was obtained unethically?"
Eh yes. Otherwise, doing unethical research or not, would just be an accountant's puzzle to solve: does the outcome of the research weigh up against the fine we're going to have to pay.
Maybe. I just don't see how your body is going to put the 5 Volt on it, though. Or, more importantly, how your body is going to cope with the Amperage if some device down the line short-circuits it.
Sorry, the mind just boggles. If you are the overactive twentyfive year working for Network Solutions and you want to host a blog and you're reading this - go do it somewhere else !
So you build a session with an unpredictable consequence of identifiers passed on by each page, the first one of which can only be acquired by the paywall entry.
The landscape is changing. Web is a done deal - there's php, java, perl (yes), ruby, asp. What's growing is 'embedded' which I put in quotes because they're actually mini-PC's on small boards. And they're going everywhere, because they cost nothing anymore. And if you have any sense, you program C on them. C is the new assembly.

All of this is /observed/ or /theorized/ behaviour ?
Graphical browsers were first open source, as were web servers. Those are pretty big projects.
No, candlelight ! There's nothing more romantic than candlelight ! Fucking your own mom is only a close second.

You forgot to end your post with 'Discuss !'.
... you are just required to send your child to a school and you might not be able to afford a private school.
FTFY.

What about economies of scale then ? One of the tenets of capitalism. It is that which creates the supply side of school textbooks in this case.
Tracking down bits is probably always easier is you have intimate knowledge of a system.
Why does everyone always want to bone furries ? And in the office no less !

They're originally telco's. They're not used to being dumb pipes because only a decade or so ago, they mostly weren't.

Great, now that we've just put Joe Sixpack on the moon, we've also begun arming him with frikkin' laser beams !
