An economy doesn't "grow" in any sense unless outside wealth is coming in in some form.

Economies are positive sum, not zero sum. They can grow without any outside trade. Your description is incorrect. For example, your description would imply that it is impossible for the World Economy to grow, because there is not outside wealth coming in from aliens.

Here is a nice sum of positive, zero, and negative sum in the context of economics. http://www.conceptualmath.org/philo/econ_sum.html

Here is a more detailed example of positive-sum trade between 2 parties (Crusoe and Friday) on a desert island. http://ingrimayne.com/econ/International/Comparative.html

One thing to point out with those videos and the review is that the FOV is like a typical monitor.

Mmm ... no, it's not the same. Regular wide screen TV: 16x9. Regular wide screen monitor: 16x9 or16x10

A six monitor (3x2) wide screen setup will be: 48x18 (16x3 and 9x2) or 48x20 (16x3 and 10x2). This is 24x9 or 24x10 which is 50% wider than 16x6 and 16x10 respectively. But thank you for playing.

... "while driving".

It's fine for them to communicate however they like when they're notdriving.

>>>Married women couldn't own property. Slavery was legal.

Why repeat what I've already said? I already started "except for slavery and sexism". Try to be more original.

Oh and you're wrong about the women couldn't own property bit. In virtually all states they could own property if the husband passed away and the widow inherited the land/assets. And in the more-progressive northern states not only did women own property, they were allowed to vote in elections.

>>>Health care was practically nonexistent

So was electricity and cars, but that doesn't have anything to do with government and how much freedom a person had. An american individual in the 1820s had a LOT more freedom than we have today, if only because there was no income tax to take-away your earnings.

Didnt you see that interview from several months back? I think Conroy made the comment "you dont know the things that are out there, you cant trust parents to keep their kids safe" (I cant find the exact link, but it was on a BBC interview). That pretty much sums up whats happening here, government wants to raise your kids for you.

A little early for April Fools' Day, isn't it?

Enemy of the state wasnt too bad, i guess, right?

So prove they are abusing your data.

I get email and especially post-office-kind mail with eerily detailed information about me all the time. I've never tried calling the companies and asking where they data mined it from (I try not to contact them if at all possible), but I don't think it would work. Obviously someone I'm doing business with is giving something away, but I don't think I'll ever be able to track them down.

The task of proving myspace sold your data after you deleted your account would be huge and then you would have to hire a better legal team than theirs to attempt to make your argument, from which you will probably win an apology.

I think is better to create a new and decent browser-based script language than try to run faster the actual javascript...

So how much sanity do spam filters have and what happens when it runs out?
