Of the winners in computing, those that won because of technical merit are swarmed by those that won for other reasons.
Things win because they are "good enough", for a "reasonable enough" price, at the right time - but it helps if they are being pushed by a ruthless, anti-competitive monster monopoly.
How come your neighbor New Zealand can do better?
Because we haven't worked out yet how to lure Tony Abbott across the Tasman (and leave him there).
The Death Star proved that. Overwhelming support. Brushed under the rug. This administration is a joke.
They should have asked Tesla to build Death Stars
So now we could breed up a strain of highly intelligent chimpanzees by selecting new parents from the highest scoring chimps?
Nope. That was on the Internet. That is completely different.
Yeah, the Internet's nothing to do with computers
in the form of a vaccine?
Vaccines cause neurotypicality - you heard it here first!
Step 4:
Prices are high and a de facto exclusive license exists. People notice this is bad and want deregulation.
Your Step 4 is the status quo in Australia (well, Sydney, at least).
Taxis have been a highly regulated monopoly for decades. No "historical cycle". No steps 1, 2 or 3.
So when are they releasing it as a game?
I would LOVE to see wine in cans
Cans are opaque.

I had no idea that this was the case in the soviet era. Can you cite your sources please?
Tsk. Don't you watch any movies?
The film "Enemy At The Gates" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0215750/) is all about a renowned Russian sniper during WW2 who learned to shoot accurately when he went wolf huinting with his father. Being Stalinist Russia, bullets were expensive and difficult to buy (as were most items) so you learned to shoot very well and not waste the ammo.
The show is popular with quite a few Aspies because it is one of the few almost reasonable attempts at portraying an Aspie-like character. Sheldon also displays signs of OCD and maybe Narcissistic personality disorder, but an Aspie without those other conditions can still recognise or even identify with many of his actions.
Just avoid Internet Explorer all the time.
What I get out of this story is that, if you're lucky enough to survive the trip in the wheel well, it's much more convenient to travel this way than doing it the regular way: no queuing, no overcharging from the airlines, no restrictions on the amounts of liquids you can carry, no getting your gonads showered with x-rays, no groping from TSA perverts... and of course, no arbitrary, secret no-fly list that prevents you from boarding the plane in the first place.
The airport security theater almost makes me want to risk my life as a stowaway.
And no waiting in the queue for the toilet either.
