squareenix recently did some market control with the expansion ToAU. they added npc's that sell some items that were player crafted only, and it short supply. they also added many npc's that sell goods that formerly were in short/limited supply due to limited store volumn.
they also opened up a new worms nest of extortion tho, they have a problem similar to runescape. by adding a VERY VERY sought after item used by one of the new very popular jobs (w.cocoons for pup's). very low drop rate from kills, and only a small handfull available per game day (about an earth hour) makes an item that costs 100 from the store, sell for 6 figures.
granted, as people get (from various means, or just shelling out the cash) get the items, the demand and there for the price rapidly falls, which only brings in more demand from people that were waiting for it to fall, which drives prices back up.... and so on.
in 2 years of playing FFXI, i've seen the market go up, down, sideways,
and last xmas, even do a quadruple how-now-brown-cow backflip half twist summersault (if you were there, you'd understand)
MMO markets are very fragile things, and with so many players, 24/7 poking at it, they are almost as fun to playwith as going out and killing things.
i had a friend that overrode his useragent to some ancient version of wget. couple lines of code later, he gets nothing but goatse when he hits my site.
also good for screwing with spiders that dont obey robots.txt
somewhere in all the comments, someone posted that it will "track the badges, not the students"
sadly, i point to star trek, even with all their magical widgets and gizmos, you can hide from them by taking off your comm badge. (how many times did they track someone down only to find his/her badge on the nightstand or on the turbolift floor)
due to being held back as a child i was 19 for most of my senior year.
due to poor wording, many of the rules in my HS's handbook didnt apply to me ("students between 16 and 18...") i never exploited this, but did have my family lawyer contact the schoolboard.
"magicly" the wording was changed the following year (younger sister)

no, but fun as hell to do.

Why would you ever have to share your A drive?
If you have a transport means that you use sharing (i.e. network), why are you even using a floppy?
