And that's exactly what we need now. We have a mature ecosystem with well established species. We don't need thousands of similar species being created and left behind in a few months. What we need from now on is slow evolution. There already are software to do _most_ of the things a user want to do with a PC, let that software evolve in a stable ecosystem instead of leaving the gate open and keep starting over every time, trying to make a better wheel every time.

Because the amount of data to download is really huge and we always seem to find new ways to use more. Think about hard disks, every time we get a new, bigger one, we think is enough but after a few months its full.

Now they have a limited amount of bandwidth, if you sum up the bandwidth they sell to all their customers you get more bandwidth than what they have because they oversell. With data there is no limited supply. The limit is in the speed

Now we pay for something we don't use, we pay for a connection 24/7 with some speed but we only use it a few hours a day. With data we would be using up to the last byte.

As a side effect the heavy bloated sites would cost more to visit. So there will be an incentive for the web developers / designers to reduce the size of their sites.

If the pricing is reasonable it wouldn't be so bad. But as we already know the pricing won't be reasonable so...

Another nice side effect is that it also would be much harder for ISP to oversell because you can always find something else to download to use your paid for bytes.

And that's why you pay for bandwidth, you pay for a slice of the network capacity to use as you wish. You pay for the resource that is limited, bandwidth, not the unlimited one, data.

Well, it turns out that life isn't black and white only. Most of the things you can think of don't fall into the categories: "I want someone to read it" "I do not want anyone to read it".
The problem is when you want some reduced group of people to read it, not the whole world. And more so when you want some people to read it but are not sure if you want it to remain readable for a long time.
Today we have a lot of ways to communicate something to a group of people, one of them are online social networks. They have flaws as everything else, but they are useful to a lot of people

Please, is not so hard to just type some garbage there, long, alpha-numeric garbage.

Less free to whom? to the end user is just the same as they don't intend to redistribute the software. To some user who wants to distribute the code, it's less free. To the original developer no, it gives him the freedom to choose how his code is being distributed.

In any case, if is just about equal than the rest of the world then we can say they have more freedom without any evident cost; shound't that be considered good?

On the other hand, why is it ok to depict a crime (murder in most FPS) in some cases and not in this one? I'm against any type of abuse, even more so when it is against young children, but I believe this is something worth thinking about. I'm not saying we should ban all games that allow the players to commit fake crimes; I'd like to know why as a society we accept murder without a problem but we just can't accept anything sex related.

Wrong, a human being takes a lot of time to develop and during this time the things it can tolerate are different. As a person grows it gets stronger and best prepared to deal with the world. A child is not ready to deal with sexuality, neither his mind nor his body are ready for that.
So, a person 5 years old is not the same as a person 30 years old and is not the same as a person 90 years old. The things that can harm them are as different as the things they can take without any danger.
You can argue all day about the exact number of years to put the line but you just can't say there is no difference.

It is also uninteresting for software developers so you have a system without malware and almost useless because you just don't have any software to run on it. Also you can't comunicate with other peoples systems because yours is incompatible and different. Unfortunately the malware is the price we have to pay for having access to such a big network. If we had hundred different incompatible systems it would be a nightmare to write any software that runs on all of them (be it good or bad software). With some sort of common standard is easy (for certain values of easy) to develop software that can run everywhere, good software and evil software.

Where I come from we write it dd/mm but after some thinking about it I realized that mm/dd is just easier to sort and compare.

Do you really believe this? I think is just the opposite. The field is not leveled, there are (and always be) few people with a lot of power and a lot of people with little power. Without rules the ones standing on the top would remain there and increase their advantage over the others. Free markets leads to monopoly in most cases, and we know how that benefits us all.

Forget the overhead on the justice department, just tell me how can someone know if what he/she is doing is legal, should everyone ask a partner a full psicological examination before having sex?
