This seems to me to be a thornier (excuse the pun) problem than nuclear waste. At least if waste leaks it only poisons a small area and hopefully doesn't wipe out entire species.
Considering that they state that this galaxy is 13.1 billion light years away, and 600 million years after the Big Bang... I would say that from a rough calculation that the limit you're referring to is about 13.7 billion light years.
We have plenty of water in most places in Australia, however we've just recently started to realise that maybe we shouldn't be wasting so much on things like keeping cars clean and maintaining gardens that are reminiscent of England.
I'm sorry but I go to these stores for books that I wouldn't otherwise find, even online. how does THAT fit into your model of him removing value from brick and mortar stores?
Really... seriously? Paying the fair price asked by someone is "Stealing candy from babies"? I thought that stealing involved taking something without paying? These book sales have set a price that is fair to them and nets them a decent profit, if someone else spots an item that they can re-sell in a distant market that COULD NOT or generally WOULD NOT be accessed by that retailer and profits from the difference between the 2, that's stealing? This guy is performing a service to the rest of the geek community, and charging for it... and that is equated to stealing? I think hyperbole has infected your post, maybe you should have it fumigated.
But surely the hidden gems are the books that WON'T sell at a premium on Amazon. I don't know about you, but if I don't find something online then I go to a 2nd hand bookstore and check there. My mode of shopping for books has changed since the advent of this new fangled techernology stuff.
The bookstores are putting them up for sale at a price which they deem to make a fair profit for them. What's wrong with him buying them and selling them elsewhere if he believes that he can make a profit too?
So wouldn't the correct procedure be to get MORE people to join the Church and lobby internally for change? Now all that's left in there are the hardliners who blocked gay marriage in the first place.
Ever seen "Yes, Minister"? Bureaucracy outlives the elected politicians, and usually has more entrenched power. If you want to make a real change to government you destroy bureaux first.
Personally, I believe that if the people that "own" the money feel like they're going to "lose" the money, they'll do whatever they can to keep it. I may be a fking idiot, but if you believe that the "little guy" will be protected, then you're a bigger idiot than I.
I do agree with you in principal, however it appears that most European economies will crash completely over the next 20 years or so. If an economy can't even sustain itself, how do you expect it to sustain "luxuries" like scientific endeavour?

I hope not... otherwise our ancestors may be sued by zombie lawyers from the 21st century!

And how many of those disorders affect the average school kid?
Wasn't this the incident where the apparatus landed on two old age pensioner's 4WD?
So "NOFOLLOW" is now the equivalent of a "No Junk Mail" sign?
Agreed, I had nightmares about Uwe Boll making another film when I read that.

What excuse do I use now to go and make my morning cup of coffee without looking like a slacker?
Not trying to troll, but it may come across that way... I live in Australia... 45-60k a year???? We earn that easily as an average wage.

Sigh... I wish that people could mod above +5... simply because your post deserves it.
No offense, but you're obviously far too polite. I'd tell them to shift their ass if they did that to me.
Mod parent up insightful, please.
Oh, for mod points to bring the above AC into the reading scope of those who read at 2-3+ only.

Yes, because all of the studies by Pfizer are MUCH more reputable than independent research.
