No, wealth can be created from labor and resources.
Look at it this way: Where did money come from? If the supply is always finite and unchanging, then there can be no money now, because orignally there was none. It had to come from somewhere. If you say there can be no more money created, how was the second dollar (pound, peso, whatever) created after the first? And the second million or billion?
Funny how we had internet before porn. The internet existed first (pure text), and porn didn't join the party until the mid-90s when the graphical web was taking off.
Ah, you poor, poor deluded soul.
You sound like someone who never downloaded ascii porn in the 1980's.
I actually suggested this project at my company. Put a couple dozen hardened flash backup devices at various points in the collection stream, scattered throughout the plane structure. The project wasn't approved, but I still think it's a great idea.
Also, because of the forced near slave relationship with our teachers (Do everything you are told, you must satisfy me and only my feelings matter. And the diametrically opposed student situation where you have no say in what happens in the classroom, your satisfaction is unimportant and how you feel about any subject matter is irrelevant now sit down and do your work.) predictably our only form of self-empowerment was trough passive aggressive acts.
You'd be amazed to know that none of the above has anything to do with teachers but everything to do with clueless school administrators, idiotic legislation and lawyer-happy parents.
A real teacher wants to teach you any way they can and have you learn any way you can.
I used to be a high school teacher. You'd be amazed at how stupid the students think you are, and how amazed they are when they find out you have an actual life outside of school.
Also, they think you can't hear or see 3 feet beyond the teacher's desk.
My wife bought her brand new 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid in Dec. 2006 for $24K. The non-hybrid model was about $20K. She averages about 32 MPG in it, about 12 MPG over the conventional model.
At 22,000 miles/year, she saves about $1144/year at $2.77/gal. Plus we got the $1500 tax break. The "hybrid premium" was paid off sometime in late 2008. She now saves over $1100/year over the non-hybrid.

I believe we owe each other a drink.
How many typewritten pages or Libraries of Congresses is that?

Try Econ 201. They go into more depth.
Now just teach them how to back-sass and not clean their rooms and no one will need to have kids any more!

At 300 baud.
"Howdy Partener!"
I spent the first 35 years of my life NOT drinking. Just a personal choice.
Then I started drinking, and seriously, my life got better.

Your foam ball idea is a great addition to this.
I'll give him +1 for honesty, but -10 for jackassery.
It's true, today's computers ARE too fast for students.
Kids today don't know the joy of being able to slack off for 5 to 10 minutes in class while their screen says "Compiling..."
You do know that at least 20% of the folks on /. do this with our daily and weekly reports to the boss anyway, right?
Don't give away ALL our secrets!
Kids today all think that their phones are basically just for text messages, not voice calls.
Now they'll think e-mail is for voice calls, not text messages.
What's next? Using the refrigerator to cook food and the microwave to store it?
Just make sure to CC your boss's boss when you do this.
THEN your ass is covered!
Loop of Sanford and Son theme, dammit.
Well, now it's stuck in YOUR head, too.

No wonder my crops failed and there was a rain of toads on the farm after I downloaded "Superman III".
Don't forget the forced gay sex and idol worship.
That all starts with riding a bike, kids.
We DO live in the country, so we both drive a lot. 22,000 miles is probably a LOW average for either of us.
But honestly, except for people who telecommute, I know very few people who drive less than 16,000 miles/year, even city folk.
Then again, this is Texas.
It says the Ford Escape Hybrid costs $35k?

I want to see some methodology on this study.
Bigger computers!
What we've been working toward all these decades!
Damn you!
Yeah, it would redefine "Thrown under the bus."
RAISE THE FLAGS OF ALL NATIONS!
That's my favorite quote from one of the funniest, stupidest movies ever.
Does this mean I have to get rid of my Female Body Inspector T-shirt?
But it WORKS, man! Some chicks actually believe it!
Stupid cockblocking FBI.
