While not 100% 'free market,' I think that turning things like last mile lines, etc in to a public utility (allowing many ISPs to hook into them), and abolishing local government-granted monopolies is the real solution here. While

There is a point to be made here though that is more valid than the argument against moving away from command-line DOS applications to Windows API applications. Moving from text-based to graphical is a much different shift than what we are

From a "math perspective," the equals sign is a statement , not an expression. It is asserting the state of something. In programming, we're not 'stating' that `a = b = c = 2`, we are performing an operation to mak

On the other hand, animal agriculture on the scale we see it today is massively different than anything that was seen 100+ years ago. Trying to say "people raised cattle 100 years ago" is much different then talking about ranche
