I think some sort of cell would be common to most life. It's difficult to imagine how advanced life could evolve without some sort of semi-permeable membrane.
Shares in companies predated stock markets. Stock markets are really just a bunch of companies who already have public shares getting together to pool resources to allow easier and centralized trading and selling of shares. You ban stock markets, they will simply be reinvented under some other name.
So where do I go when I want to build a factory? Open a branch in another state? I alone might take a thousand years to generate enough capital on my own. Or I can split my business up to into several pieces that I can than sell to investors. I take their money, they own a share of the company. I use their money to build sufficient capital to build my factory, and that increased capacity should generate profits and increased value of the shares held by others.
Again, how is it exactly do you propose to do this without shares. And if you have shares, how is that you prevent groups of companies coming together to build a common market to trade and sell shares in?
I'm somewhat the same. I have my iPhone, which I do a lot of casual surfing on, and I use it as an eReader, and the size doesn't bother me too much (I'm now halfway through my reread of the Game of Thrones series, so as an eReader it works okay). But for any heavy lifting when I'm on the road, I have a cheap second hand Acer netbook I bought on eBay for $100. I can type documents, answer email, do remote administration on our servers, and it sure is more effective than trying the same on a tablet.
This was once pretty standard fare for pro-Microsoft journalists. I remember a year before Windows 95 came out that one of the Microsoft-friendly magazines published an article on Chicago extolling its virtues, with pictures showing how great it was, but with a tiny caption indicating that it was an artist's rendering. The whole article, and several like it had but one purpose, and that was dissuade people from moving to alternatives (mainly OS/2, which supported Win16 apps by this point) while Microsoft fought like hell to make a Win32 OS actually work.
It's almost the exact opposite approach to Apple, which uses its veils of secrecy, with the odd fringe lifted ever so slightly, or the odd device "accidentally" left at a bar, to build up anticipation.
Which one is better, we'll see. But it's pretty clear now that Microsoft's competitor right now isn't going to be the iPad, it's going to be the iPad Mini. Which device do you suppose will have long lines waiting to grab said device on release?
The Anglo-Saxon language was a dialect of West Germanic that developed in southern Denmark and northeastern Germany (the Angle) in the first centuries AD and was already spoken by the Angles, Saxons and Jutes when they invaded Britain, and in fact those early dialects the three groups brought over were the source of several English dialects found in England and southern Scotland even 1,500 years later.

Using the interface and actually being productive at the interface are two entirely different things.
No hey don't. In just about any Western European country Obama would most certainly be right of centre.
The United States has no socialist part of note and has has damned few politicians tha ever fit the bill.
Only an American would be so Fucking stupid as to think Obama is a socialist. Americans don't have the foggiest clue what socialism is.
So what if he made millions? Does that warrant solitary confinement? What kind of bootlicking pro-authoritarian are you?
And if no earthquake had happened, they would have inevitably been accused of causin a panic. The lesson here is don't be a geologist in Italy.
If the Smartphone Bandit tried to steal my iPhone, I would smash in the face, club him over the head, and cut out his liver... His tasty liver.

So what's it like being a functioning retard?
Good ol' Libertarians modding down to flamebait. Sort of shows you the kinds of evil tyrants they would be if they ever got in to power.
Ah, I gotcha. They serve the same god, but just at different temples.
How does that differ from what comes out of a Tea Partier's mouth?
Hey, don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.
Christ, the debates even bring out the grandmother porn addicts.
I don't see C'thulu on the list. He belongs there. I'm tired of choosing the lesser evil.
How do I tell a Tea Partier from a Libertarian?
What if your company produces more than one product? What if you have a company that owns a power plant AND sells Adwords?

AKA, a stock market.
You have some other way of generating capital on a grand scale? Love 'em or hate 'em, if we didn't have stock markets, we would have to invent them.

When Slashdot is not fulfilling its role as the "anti-Apple" tech news site, of course.
Wake me up when there is a review by someone that isn't on either Apple or Redmond's payroll. This was nothing more than an advertisement.
This wasn't invented by the United States, it was inherited from English Common Law. The Crown always had a right to such finds.

Just to be totally pedantic :)
