Well, that's not exactly true. x86 architecture does support execute seperate from read, but it's on a segment basis. If you move away from a single 32-bit segment that emulates a flat memory model and move to multiple 32-bit length segments (i.e. 48-bit addressing), you can quite easily support both read-only and read+execute memory.
However, a non-flat address space doesn't play nice with traditional kernal designs, and to the best of my knowledge no one has ever actually implemented the type of operating system that x86 was designed to support.
Physical disk layout is no longer available with modern devices. Database layout across multiple physical devices is precisely what a good DBA is trained to handle.
As far as buffer management and filespace allocation inside a tablespace, that's precisely what Oracle or DB2 specialize in, using very sophisticated cross-process buffering techniques and cache hit scoring. None of that is home-grown. It's why you spring the big bucks for a serious database.
The only problem with Lessig's solution is that works of merit would _never_ go out of copyright. It is one thing to pay a premium over the cost of reproduction to reward the author, but quite another to reward the corporation that bought out the rights from the author's great-grandnephew when he was a drunken bum on skid row.
Just as an example, consider Gilbert and Sullivan. Great comic opera, in English, easily accessible to US audiences, but it never gets performed here because of the onerous fees their descendants impose on performing the works. Can you imagine having to pay a royalty to some conglomerate every time the initial notes from Betthoven's Fifth are played?
Bush didn't announce the coming of a new world order--it's been on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States for some 200-odd years. Look on the back of a dollar bill for a quick example. What do you think Novus Ordo Seclorum means?
Of course the US has a focused policy--they want to see Cisco get all the contracts to implement the border routers and firewall. Gotta keep those high-tech exports up, dontcha know?
It's not like the Bush family has any qualms about trading with dictators. The Union Banking Corporation, then controlled by Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker, was seized by the US Govt in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act for funding the Nazi regime during World War II.
One arbitrator costs 7.5 hours of lawyer time, three cost 15. What's the likelihood that you'll get a lawyer to argue your case in that little time?
An hour to draw up the complaint, an hour or two in discovery, maybe another hour answering motions, a couple hours in the courtroom, this stuff adds up fast.
They stop getting counted in the statistics if they lose their phone service, though. The numbers are gathered through a phone survey. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has an summary that gives a better picture of the actual employment picture, but it still doesn't account for their systematic sampling errors.
Steel mill, coke oven, basic oxygen furnance, maybe a blast furnance still--something there puts up a 24/7 column of flame that you can see for miles.
They seem to have tours about once a year--appropriate attire (serious shoes, long pants, sleeves, hard hat, safety googles) is required and they don't allow cameras.
meringuoid has got the gist of the matter. In a large group with reliable means of identification, networks of trust evolve based on past performance and real-world reality checks.
Without the reliable identification, though, you rapidly get the worst of Usenet, especially if the cost of access is minimal and once an identity has been discredited another one can be created instantly.

That's a pretty impressive display of confidence by the market in RedHat.
The earliest Pilots I can find reference to came out in 1996. Xerox filed for this patent October 26, 1995.

It's interesting, but not anything especially out of the ordinary for high power rocketry (e.g. http://www.tripoli.org)
