On the contrary...... a competitor will buy up their hardware at a bargin basement price and as a result become something closer to a monopoly themselves.
The parent post is drivel, but the responder would surely fight for their right to post such drivel. In some dictatorships the parent comment might land you in jail by itself.

First, which coordinate system would be use to claim parts of space-time itself? SR says there is no special system. Perhaps a system with the Cosmic Microwave Background dipole reduced to zero?
What do you think the going rate for cubic lightyears of space-time would be? And would the 1 H atom per cubic meter be included?
Do you think such charter modifications should incorporate the property value increase associated with the hubble expansion?
Those foil balloons last longer, so perhaps an alumized interior, as you suggest. But then... why not just use the foil balloon in the first place? Protection from fast flying needles?
From the brick picture we can see that it's good under compressive stress. It might not be very good with tensile stress (much like concrete).
Why don't we all get to the punch on this wireless stuff, and get laser networks going? Aim a laser at your neighbour on the network, have a pulser 'modulate' the signal, and have a readout system sensitive to the level of light.
No more band allocation troubles!:-) And the signal would be very directional avoiding all sorts of interference. CON: A hefty lawsuit if you aim it into someone's eyes.
I agree, so why not use our ability with networking to solve the problem. The goal is to see that students can code their way out of a paper bag.
Why not have a class of networked boxes and then 'test' the students by having them come in and write their code while the network is shut down, preventing the students from getting access to any help during the test. Take the floppys and CDROMs out and they can't bring in outside help. There could be bonus marks for speed.

That's a cool graph and all. I see that longitude is the angular dimension, but can someone tell me what the radial dimension signifies?

I think that Kartoo needs to have it's complete contents into a google cache. ;-)

Too late.
Let's just say that there are mines 2km (1.6 miles) deep in the ground, for example in Sudbury Ontario.
Donkey and Porn are not 'orthogonal' in Internet Space at all!!
Now Oscilloscope and Porn. Now THERE's two orthogonal words.
Is there any way that we could all get hooked up to the public power grid? (I guess we'd have to make the public power grid actually public first.)
Imagine millions of people pumping their feet to save on electricity bills, all in distributed.net fashion.
I suspect that some of the people reading this forum appreciate the work of DARPA, for example, whether they actively appreciate it or not.
