It's a horror show of a backend, a crazy badly engineered database. Really, it's worse even than RPM.
You really should figure out what you would need, and design that, and then get the OS people to accept that you've replaced their mindless zombie subsystem with something non-awful.
It's not that the compiler needs to be free (it is), it should be part of the standard OS install. Perhaps an optional component, but a single click during install at most.
What's the advantage of four players with an iphone showing virtual cards and an ipad showing the display vs real cards in people's hands that they lay on a real table?
For typical games, nothing. In fact, the real cards are vastly superior. They are easily adjustable. They require low investment. They're lighter. They're more readily replaced. They are easier on the eyes. It's easier to adjust their layout to fit the set of people in the playing space. It goes on and on.
The only real reason to do this is to invent games that CANNOT be played with traditional equipment.
To pull an arbitrary selection out of the air, you can't play world of warcraft with some cards and tiles. So there could clearly be new games invented that took advantage of this, but traditional games are going to fit poorly.
Getting all the little UI issues right would take some freakin' black magic. It's not an easy thing to do, and apple certainly fails all over the place too. They just fail less than most.
Because, as abundant chemical energy to power transportation becomes scarce, there will be no pressure to use electricity for transportation needs. No, none at all......
But back in the real world, these two forms of energy can be converted one to the other, and are, and a scarcity of energy of one type does indicate an overall energy scarcity, especially when you look at the energy budget of transportation as compared to the current power grid.
Using electromagenetic radiation to deflect particles when you're travelling at 99.999% of the same radiation... well, it is unlikely to help that much.
Perhaps you could send a drone or some shiznits way out in front of the ship, emitting the fields, but i'm not sure what's going to protect it.
Where by completely secure you mean that they can do anything inside the sandbox that you do not explicitly disallow, including the potential of storing data for later execution, communicating with the outside world, modifying other things running in said sandbox later, etc.
There's ways to mitigate many of these things, but they're not simple. The point is sandboxing itself is not the fix-everything tool, it's one of several ways to mitigate security issues. Another one is to reduce the attack surface area, and that has a much higher chance of real improvement.
Segment the data transport and data service industries?
A T1 is data transport. Cable is data transport. These things get bits from a to b.
TCP/IP, DNS, email, web hosting, etc etc.. these are all data services. I'd simply declare you can't be both, or you can't be the data service if you're near-monopoly data transport, at least in that area/segment/etc.
This would foster.. competition.
It's so hard for the corporatists to grasp that regulation is often a positive economic force.
False equivalence. Computers aren't as important as lives, but that doesn't mean that systems working is valueless. It also doesn't mean that it is better to save lives than to keep systems working as choice of occupation. People have different motivations and goals.

Any explosion-based propulsion is not going to work so well, because you run out of mass. The trick to space travel is to accelerate the matter that you are emitting at the highest speed possible, not to just make the biggest bang. It's not like you're going to find a bunch more fuel waiting for you at the halfway point.
Some trading is parasitic on investing. There are those who have higher rate market access than you and just profit take on every transaction you try to make. That's not really serving anyone.
But a lot of trading activity is not so impressively unhelpful.

Why are you using MSI? Really.

What does Citizen Kane have to do with it? Perhaps you meant H.G. Wells?
The devil's advocate position is that it's all very well and good to hold to your principles, but they're unlikely to keep you from being dead.
The vikings in Greenland considered eating fish taboo. They died pure.
They didn't cripple her. They selected her for her characteristics.
There's a big difference, although this sort of selection is also problematic in some ways.
It's not a typo, it's a colloquialism.
Get out in the world sometime.
Sure, software security doesn't matter, if the software never takes external inputs that could be controlled by a third party.
That's a good, what, 2% of software?

True, but this reflects lower availability, which for a commodity like energy is a pretty important thing!
Uh, right.

Useless snark:

Or more practically: get sterilized.

No. I would not.
Stop trolling already. Linux is a certified Unix.

Sounds like everyone involved should grow up.

Moderators, you need help.
It's called an ion drive.

Running isolated untrusted code is problematic, because there are always new undiscovered ways for it to become unisolated.

At the local politics level, what you say is often true. Local politics are often the most useful, anyway.
However, at the national level, this is almost never true. National politics are popoulated nearly entirely by the priveledged old boys club.
