Yet Australia wants to return to "export-grade" encryption.

How much of the cost of producing raw materials is labor? How much of the cost of producing equipment is labor?

In this scenario, how is the $3 for a burger broken out into labor and non-labor costs?

I disagree. Say someone earns someone earns $60 per day before the wage increase and $120 per day afterward. A product costs $60 before the price increase and $120 afterward. What can the customer afford in each case?

I don't see why not. Demand for staple foods is inelastic, which means the quantity demanded won't change much when the price level becomes higher.

Such as picking food, a cost that the farm owner has to pass on.

As wages rise, businesses' labor costs will rise, which tends to increase the prices they have to charge to recover the cost of providing goods or services. Some of these goods and services are necessities, and the threshold for government assistance is indexed to costs of necessities. So increasing wage level increases costs, which increases the general price level, which increases the CPI, which increases how much one can make while remaining eligible for entitlements, which puts the taxpayers' situation right back where it was.

caniuse.com's background-size chart claims that Safari for iOS has defects in its handling of background-size: cover.

MCI is part of Verizon now. So even in 2015, the biggest competitor of AT&T is still (the parent of) MCI.

Or for game development, for which you might need a shell to administer your version control server.

I tried that and got "Firefox can't find the server at www.putty.cc." The fact that putty.cc doesn't exist is the real problem.

The problem here is that it isn't "obvious shady shit" as you claim. The official PuTTY download page doesn't look very "official". This makes it easier to fool people into downloading the trojaned version instead of the official version.

Which C runtime library do you use with MinGW? I'm told third-party applications shouldn't use MSVCRT.dll anymore.

Hobbits are fictional. I was addressing the plausibility of the fiction, not particulars of the geography. People who go barefoot and raise animals are likely to catch pathogens by stepping in the animals' feces. This risk is present whatever the continent.
