Drugs, cigarettes, prostitution, software, satellite cards, anything that is regulated and/or taxed to opression or overpriced or has unserved demand due to a monopoly has a black market and as such also has a true free market.
All that participate, do so by choice. They take the risks for the rewards. They pay the costs for the product. All suppliers compete in a totally unregulated fashion and all buyers are free to choose based on price and product.
Believe me, if all you have to offer is what was fed to you at school, you've got a long way to go.
How about how to teach yourself?
Try reading, it works great. You can find these things called books at a place called a library.
In addition to teaching me how to use a library, my parents also bought a big pile of paper called an encyclopedia. The purchase includes yearly updates called yearbooks.
Then there's a yellow skinned magazine to which your parents or grandparents should have subscribed. It is called National Geographic. Issues go way back. Even though it is renowned mainly for its photography and printing quality, you should try reading it.
Be sure to subscribe before you have kids of your own.
I had just pushed it to the server that my friends and I had set up for sharing. I turned around and downloaded it in order to test.

Still don't(never did) share publicly via napster, kazaa, or whatever, but the number of folks authorized to use our private server has grown. Our little co-op is actually making a "profit" with membership dues.;-)
AFAIK, the only "safe" place to place HV electrodes is on the legs. After that, you have to have a resistor in circuit to limit the current. It's not the voltage that kills you. It is the current. When you get zapped by static touching the doorknob, you get a couple of thousand volts DC. 110VAC feels completely different, yet I think that both would do the trick...
I used to have one of those old fashioned flip chart style of digital clocks. One day it jammed. I took it apart and fixed it. I thought it looked cool with all of the working parts exposed so I left the case off.
The alarm switch was on the back of the clock. Normally, when it went off, I'd roll over, slap my hand on the top of the clock, fold my fingers over the back and slide my hand across to switch the alarm off. The trick of the title was discovered by accident. The 110V enters the clock and terminates on two prongs at the top of the clock. Normally they are covered by the case.
The first time I used the alarm after I had "repaired" it, I woke up in the corner of my room across from my bed, shaking, with a sore arm, two red dots in the center of my palm and the alarm still on.
I replaced the cover as soon as my hand had recovered enough to use a screwdriver.;-)
I'm sure that something similar could be developed for your needs.
Already 1 to 2G flash cards/USB keys/etc are available with no moving parts, no shock sensitivity, instant "start up", lower power consumption... that is, all the usual solid state advantages over non-solid state devices.
In the past solid state also meant more expensive. Today, the solid state parts will even be competitve in price.
Well isn't that interesting. There has been quite an uproar over un-reported crimes and the validity of the gov't statistics. Here they managed to change reporting policies - did they really, or did they just say they did? So that any comparisons or evaluations of the policies are rejected - by definition.
I'll be damned. I haven't thought of one of those in decades!
One of my first paying firmware projects was with an 1802 that scrolled text messages across an LED array. Was also the first time I ever read a CMOS databook.

Only a few famous cases get the attention for surviving in alien environments.
An extreme example would be why don't we have dolphins here in Oklahoma? Afterall, we are surrounded on all sides by their natural environment, why haven't they invaded? They've even been actively transported into the area by humans. Why haven't they taken over? The answer is simple, they just can't live in/on the dirt. They gotta have seawater and there's just not very much available in OK.
Like I said, most don't. If you doubt the "most", just look around and count the number of species living in any particular ecosystem, then count the number of species living elsewhere and compare the numbers.
Saturn obviously has millions of particles of various sizes in orbit. So...to be a moon, the body must be not only detectable, but individually discernable and uniquely identifiable. I don't think that there are any more requirements.
I imagine that there are a number of compainies in Ontario that are wondering if all of their development efforts have been wasted.
Usually, patent treaties and their like are reciprocal. I'll honor yours if you honor mine. I wonder what will happen to the Ontario economy when the US starts to ignore patents filed by residents of Ontario? Regardless of the technical validity, or lack thereof, of gene patenting, frankly it seems that Ontario has much more to lose.
Very few of these guys are rookies. They are culled from vast fields of applicants. Work hard, study hard, think hard, and apply for jobs at astro/aero/comm companies. You might just turn into one of these "elites".
Started with pilot lessons, then my eyes went bad. Even though I could no longer meet the mil spec for pilots (much less astronauts), I still got a Navy ROTC scholarship. I became an expert at writing embedded real time code. I got a job at Motorola. My code(not my body, but part of my mind) flies in space today.;-)
Just as open source goes to show, pride is the greatest motivator when you want inspired, ultimate quality work. Even though my rate today is more than twice what I made back then, I have never, ever put so much effort and thought into a project as that one.
Cheer up, if you really, really try, chances are you will succeed.

No kidding Katz was fired? How about that. I blocked him shortly after he showed up and never looked back.
It's a strange feeling these days, some unexpected good news.
Otherwise, I agree with your journal comments, they're spot on.
I wasn't alive in 1900 and I don't expect to be in 2100, so... no Hindi or Sino-whatever dialect for me.
;-)
Thanks anyway, I'll stick to English, with a sprinkle of Spanish here and there, until the day I die.
OTOH, if for some reason I do live that long, I'll have plenty of time to change my mind.
Your question reveals some confusion, perhaps produced by the wording of the article.
They are not "weighing" anything. They are measuring the mass of the gold. These are two different things. Gravity is not involved in the latter.
...true capitalistic free market anyway.
It's called the "Black Martket".

Remember this when you next run into a discussion about the virtues or(lack) of concealed carry licenses. ;-)
If that won't get you out of bed, nothing will.

2 to 3 G is a drop in the bucket.

I don't know how many are interested and yet don't know about these pages but here is some good stuff for dreamers to read...
Institute for Advanced Concepts
and here is a design study for a space elevator:

Space Elevator Phase 2

No comment on the Swiss?
As referred above, try the Swiss on for size.
Unlike the rest of Europe, they still have very low crime rates.
I'll let you make the rest of the comparsion.
Or, try the Brits. Look at their crime rates from long ago up to the last decade. Notice what has happened since 1997.
...with power lines over the back yard.
So far the only problem has been stepping in the doggie-do. Seems like everybody in the neighborhood walks their dogs in the right-of-way.
Perhaps he is innocent(of this form of treatment plant utilization) and didn't really think it through.
;-)
Or...
He HAS utilized a plant this way, has also utilized other disposal "methods", is speaking from experience, and he's trying to cover himself.
If the former, then he should be modded up as "interesting".
If the latter, then he should be modded up as "informative".
I'll be damned. I haven't thought of one of those in decades!

Who will own Unix?
;-)
Has anybody considered the possibility that Red Hat will end up owning Unix?
Wouldn't that be a twist!
Give me a break. ;-)
...on air freight?
The planes are similar, pilots equally qualified.
It should be simple to "detect" the presence of passenger carried electronics in the stats if they were compared to freight traffic.
Just a suggestion...
...It looks like the init string for my modem.

It has to be so small as to be undetectable. ;-)
Hmm, not so easy afterall...Let me rephrase that.
