This is much better than trying to put a 3G modem in everything you carry. Save the money, buy a portable hotspot and buy wifi devices. now if only contractless, reasonable priced data plans were more common... and the mifis were unlocked.

I could link to a picture of R2D2 from Star Wars- a "droid" - and make the same argument. I think lately people are a bit more sensitive about "originality" and "ownership" than they should be. For instance, I remember Wil Shipley complaini

Article is in error to say you can lower costs by working aboard. Generally, the per-day cost of travelling this way is the same or higher than a cruise ship, at list prices. However, cargo ships tend to cross oceans and take routes that cr

Anarchism is inherently capitalist, because without the state, there would be nobody to stop capitalists from deploying capital to do startups. There would be nobody ot impose your socialist values to make everyone act the way you dictate.

The only way to have "common" ownership is for the thugs who decide they represent the people to steal the property, generally at gunpoint. Libertarianism predates the 1840s. I've been hearing this argument for the past 20 years, and it is
