This is a good question, and a normal thing for the network. You would have a temporary chain fork, and the branch that gets the next block first, wins. If the second blocks on two chains also happen at the same time, the third block will be the decider, and so on. That's why it's standard to wait 6 blocks before accepting the transaction.
So, the longer chain always wins, because, there is a very high probability that more processing power went into it.
And who's going to be the one who says what has value and what does not?
A new book on a subject where 100 books already exist. Does that book provide value? Probably not.
Watching a basketball game? No value at all for spectators.
So, you are proposing banning books and sports. Your comment not only provides zero value, but in fact has negative value. If you propose to make things of zero value illegal, what do you propose to do with people who provide negative value. Shoot them on site?

Block chain size grows linearly with each transaction.
There are 10**10 people on earth, a terabyte drive has 10**12 bytes, and costs $100.

What does the * stand for in Go*ro?

"They view inflation as stealing that money away from them..."
And they view it correctly.
It does not. It only looks that way due to the reactions with electrons.
You must also think that light travels in a straight line?
This is not a case of science fiction predicting the future.
This is a case of humor predicting the future.
So, thousands people buy songs, and only one unlucky sucker gets charged.
Do both. Waste 1% of phone number space, which has basically no cost. Problem solved.

"So, while making it easier to buy might bring the price down a bit,"
Errr, what?
Making it easier to buy makes the demand increase. Increased demand causes prices to go up, not down.
What you wanted to say is "making it easier to sell might bring the price down".
"Part of the price at the moment is because they are difficult to buy, so there is a premium. If it becomes easier, then the price may fall."
Wait, what?
"But a company that makes machines for making money would only need a place on a shelf and a little electric power. That is always available."
Except that it is not "a little power". It can get you in trouble. Then you need cooling as well.
So basically what you are saying is that market has decided something that you do not like, therefore "market" is wrong.
"L1 is the point between Earth and the Moon. "
Ok, moon pulls in one direction, Earth in another. Total gravity zero.
"L2 is the point behind the moon."
Both Earth and Moon pull you in the same direction. Total: Not zero. Something is wrong with your explanation.
Does anybody know where you can see the actual pictures? My slide show ends with the dust storm,

Looks like they already knew the result they wanted, then they changed the algorithm until they got that result.
How come there is no video of that race?
Then, what exactly is the difference between real photons and those virtual photons mentioned in the gp?
So does this mean that when you are looking at a star, your eye is repulsed or attracted by the star via photons?
That depends on how much money you can spend on bribes for politicians.
Oh boy they would get so many more participants if the site actually worked.
It just wants to open some .pls file. WTF is a .pls file.
"no one that ever used a device with CE would not touch it again with a ten-foot-pole..."
So, you are saying that all those that used it at least once, would, for sure, touch it once more with a long stick.
You mean like...

Cable Television, a subscription to HBO, care about a particular TV show, and at least one working eye.
