If I may: homo sapiens has self-destructive tendencies, which we acknowledge and for which we sorrow. But we love them anyway, and wish to see their continued survival, if it happens. We accept that populating another planet does not fix ou

That would require the application to support it. Like, "got anything you can dealloc?" "Oh shoot, now you mention it..." What exists already in the Windows VMM, and I assume other OSes VMMs, is a distinction between all

It's not obvious to me what the bounds of "all websites" are. The list of all phone numbers is obviously enumerable. There's a registry and a flat list of phone numbers. But, resource constraints aside, is it possible to
