Hah, living in Perth, Western Australia it's pretty much a 12 hour drive to visit another state!

Driving to another country might also prove problematic.

Copyright was established to *encourage* production of intellectual or creative works such that ultimately society as a whole benefits. The carrot to producers of such works was a limited ability to make money through sales of copies. Where does the original intent of copyright say that your son is entitled to make money off your creation? If your son simply inherits your works, where is his incentive to produce? Where is the benefit to society?

Unlike your rented house, which is a non-copyable physical asset occupying a defined space your book/parent's books are trivially copied and can be transferred and stored anywhere. Why would society want to keep limitations on dissemination of a work when the original creator of that work has passed away and no longer requires an incentive to produce?

interesting that you consider the price of the produced electricity as the measure of what is best...do these figures include the impact on the environment? the exposure to the public to potentially dangerous wastes? please don't use money as the *only* metric to measure by thats how we end up in energy and environmental crisis

ummm that was my point.

Traditionally there is a BIOS which provides low level hardware access to a host OS which can then run a guest VM.

With Hyperspace the line between the BIOS and the host OS are blurred...

Does the guest Windows VM (it's running on a hypervisor) get low level access to the hardware?

If it does then gaming should work fine but it would be unlikely that multiple guests could be run simultaneously.

If the Windows OS is running in a VM does it get low level access to the video card for gaming? If not then they have lost the gaming market...

Scientists find solutions, engineers implement them.

Haven't really looked at Chrome but I'd assume each process (tab) would still be looking at a centralised cookie cache.

Perhaps it is time to have a dedicated banking browser? One that does not use cookies/cache data/allow more that one tab etc etc
