It's not a technical term to my knowledge and if it's a loaded term, I believe that would be by your choice ("wild"). This is not about the semantics of two words but about the proper approach to conversation about serious matters. Say wh

[undent] By my count you've used the term "wild fluctuations" or "wild market fluctuations" in four assertions / reassertions, and this started with my question to you based specifically on your use of this term. Its actual meaning and you

It doesn't require anything you name here except the absence of force. No libertarian thinks or assumes everyone must be nice and no libertarian thinker has ever predicated his argument on such. You know, there actually have been some high

No, wild fluctuations are wild -- your adjective -- continual change up and down. May I suggest a dictionary? fluc⋅tu⋅a⋅tion [fluhk-choo-ey-shuhn] Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. continual change from one point or condition to anoth

I asked if you would yield price controls, which certainly do exist, and I was curious whether wild market fluctuations were pivotal to your position. I'm assuming this is why you haven't addressed the essence of my point.

Is that a "yes"?

Based on your other comments, I don't think wild market fluctuations are really the issue here, are they? If they somehow disappeared, would you yield rent control to accommodate broad market trends?

To my mind the word "greedy" suggests people who put their own interests above those of others, very often employing the coercive powers of the government to serve themselves and to the detriment of everyone else. This certainly includes ma

I believe through inductive reasoning that there are things we do not understand. I believe it is critically important to know this. It's safe to say we've all arrived at the same conclusion, though we may attach different significance to

As per zach, the state where you're operating is going to impose income/franchise taxes regardless. I've heard of strategies that involve multiple entities. So for instance you might form a Nevada entity that owns the IP and licenses it to

Yick, your reaction is understandable. But know that the following is far more typical: using System.Text.RegularExpressions; ... if (Regex.IsMatch(s, sPattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))...

I probably should have pointed out the implications for disk I/O. In many cases, the serialization of the command in the journal has a smaller footprint on disk than the data that's modified. Consider an extreme case where a small HTTP PO

"DBMS are optimized for the fastest possible disk I/O." I think that's disputable. DBMSes are designed for a number of considerations and it's not hard to demonstrate how alternatives can outperform a DBMS in terms of disk I/O and general

A similar approach is so-called "object prevalence" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Prevalence). Basically, keep all the data in RAM and write a journal of changes. On startup, the journal is played back, incrementally restoring th
