It costs, yes, real money, to keep your information private.
witness the positive and contrapositve:
1. the slow but steady growth of app.net, a paid subscription social web SERVICE/platform [handily the equal or better of/. IMO] that takes a bit of your money instead of of selling your ID-related data [no f**king ads for those of you who can read but not connect dots]
2. the way all the "free" web services provided by Google, Farcebook, (and god knows what Twitter will suck out of you for the stockholder's benefit and turn over to random hustlers)
3. yahoo, amazon, etc...what service have you used for free and then NOT seen strangely appropriate adverts in the side bar?
4. Swiss bank accounts are synonymous with "privacy means not having to pay my share of the social contract"
so, how will the Swiss pay for this service??? or will YOU pay for it in their stead, as a very few of you pay for their banking services?
for a minute there I thought you were going to equate all teh people who do not make it on to Thiels Island to the "Left Behind"
Thinking your own daydream of the ideal world is so compelling that anyone not convinced is undeserving of salvation is very commmon.
Oh please. With such lop sided support for the notion we might already have enough carbon in the air,why not apply this to low-grade heat differentials in
* oceans
* buildings in sunny places like the parched SW US states
* my freakin' roof [and that is in upstate NY]
but first, please headline the INSTALLED $/Watt. we can take it from there...or not.
I would add an objection 4.) In the full communications stack, of which HTML is only one layer above transport, why is ANY notion of content ownership being grafted on? Blurring the lines that have so successfully provided a "division of labor" factoring of data communications is NOT helpful. You have proprietary content? Fine, provide an application to decrypt/display it and leave what was once a vendor neutral tool alone.
which is melting away all those glaciers where the POP's are lodging, then the load of carcinogens is washing into the Ganges...no matter what the folks down stream do or don't do about their own sources of pollution. Now the poor of India can have equal access to the cancer rates of the first-world economies.
If we can't spread the wealth around, what good are we anyway?
The list of positive feedbacks, mechanisms demonstrated or hypothetical in which increase of avg. temps would cause release of more GHG, causing more warming etc. in a run-away loop,...is a long and scary list that includes thawing tundra and peat bogs, boiling methane hydrate slush off of the continental shelf, increasing absorption of sunlight due to shrinking ice coverage and reduced gas absorption capacity of a warming ocean.
Here finally is one little mechanism, if we don't rush to build parking lots in Siberia and the Yukon, that might go in favor of stability.
it might not meet your needs because its spread sheet function came as an afterthought/alternative to an interactive geometric algebra tool. It has great power for some visualizations but not much for general data sets. IT is all open source and all in Java. the link: http://www.geogebra.org/cms/
This publishing model already has some competition. Here is an article from a similar pay-to-publish-under-professional-editorship journal:

My concerns with such models, despite the excellent credentials for the objectivity of the present crop of promoters/purveyors, is that as an author, you are buying your way into people's attention. It is difficult to imagine a fire wall separating advertising intentions from pure scientific communication that can really work when the motives are thus configured. And what on earth would keep a bunch of well funded liars like American Heritage Institute from buying up all the articles they want?
Meanwhile out in real world of academic publishing [yes oxymoronic] it would appear that "Academic researchers want to make their papers open access for the world to read." is a bit off the mark: wisely or not, researchers often choose less-than-open journals for their papers
So I RTFA, which is mostly fluffy but has a graph and some links to the real research....BUT at the center of it is an assumption that goes unquestioned:
So Geoffrey West and his colleagues found that nature gives larger creatures a gift: more efficient cells. Literally.
Why not ask if the first step is when an organism hits upon a mutation to improve its efficiency and the consequence is larger/longer lasting individuals?
A media that is DRM free because the rip-and-burn tools cost about a billion dollars.
I for one would not want to carry around a box of test tubes with gelatinous MP3s of every note and recording humanity has ever emitted...gimme my iPod.
Did you see the movie "a beautiful mind" about John Nash...who took game theory as it existed in early '40s to a whole new level when he realized how it applied to the efforts his buddies at the bar were making to score with some girls who had shown up there? He was a genius then, and crazy, but his math was right.
the first time I got laid off from a bleeding-edge start-up back in '86, I belatedly read the fine print in the non-compete agreement I signed when hiring on. You have all signed such things. Did you read them? Like EULA's you have no choice really so why read it? The agreement pretty much said I could never work again unless I wanted to find a job not involving anything I learned or any skill for which I had been hired...totally sucking slavery IMO.
So, I took it to a lawyer who worked such issues, mostly for aggrieved ex-employees. He read it and said no court and certainly no jury would support the employer's imposition of control over my career opportunities long after they ceased to compensate me. The nastiest of the clauses, he said, were unenforceable.
I went to work for the next machine vision start-up with little trepidation after that. I never had a problem from an ex-employer but I would expect one if work I did at company x+1 or even x+2 led to a patent that stepped on the market of company x...it is only that degree of leaked technical advantage they should care about.
Rest assured, because you have a Norton security software product installed on your computer, you’re protected against the Java bug (CVE-2013-0422), as long as you have not disabled the automatic updates feature.
We also recommend that you apply Oracle’s recently released security patch and make sure you are running the most updated version of Java.
Thank you for being a valued Norton customer.
the mutual attraction of Jobs' and Disney makes more sense to me every time one of these news bits crops up: They had a shared, mildly predatory, vision of how to control the common consumer.
and do you have kids? I was nearly in the identical situation to yours...30 years ago...though luckier to have Northeastern U. programs available and a Masters CS degree program in evening division of Boston U....but that was not enough.
The realities of family life include MUCH less "free" time than a bachelor with a job can devote to studies. I racked up 22 credits...most of a MS CS degree but just could not get it done in the time required...even though my employers were reimbursing my tuition.

Sonar is bad for wales and dolphins, but wait until you have flashmobs of zebra mussels.
yeah, preventing data theft should start by not letting the thief in the house.
yep. you're on a better track than the author of TFA who felt a need to mention coal.

or did some coal company pay for this finding?
business conditions for the Mafia must have made them consider a career change to an occupation that was protected rather than prohibited by govt.
