True, and I considered that briefly while posting.
I think another problem, and I see this first hand because I work for the government, is that beaurocracy begets beaurocracy. More regulation would wind up making more loopholes, which creates more regulation. Gotta be a better way.
What about capping the number of patents a single company can own? What if, in order to gain a new patent, one must release an old patent into public domain?
It wouldn't be too much different than our current use of the judicial branch to regulate monopolies. Any thoughts?
So, if I want to be the most popular, I beg others to add me to their list. Since those who will add you to their list are just as willing to add others to their list, anyone willingly participating in this race to popularity will find themselves all in a tie very quickly as the nodes in degrees of separation emerge. Very soon, the "players" (ugh...sigh) will isolate the node, get themselves added, and everyone will tie.
A better method would analyze one's inclusion on a buddy list divided by that person's buddy list size.
Not that I really care about this pointless article and it's profound impact on my life...

FFVI for the Super Famicom (that's Final Fantasy III for Western Civilizations) was $69.99 and that was 1994 dollars.
This whole article sounds like propaganda for Kentuckians to marry their sisters.

you mean "just about the same as everyone else"?
