That has happened to me before, exactly the same tone although I had the sensation of running in a desert before awaking on the floor.

From your mention of the bathroom floor, I can only assume you were urinating while standing, which is a very common trigger for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasovagal_response. For more specific definition see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micturition_syncope

Not a big deal really, but as always might want to get it checked out to rule out more serious conditions.

This is why I think Capitalism is failing. As we move into a more virtual world, where the means of production are owned by all, value derived from utility (the principle tenet of neoclassical thought) becomes almost meaningless, less a few required cases.

Look at Communism, it began to crumble when Labour as value stopped making sense, i.e. intellectual work was the driving force of the economy during the cold war. Just ask Doctors in Cuba, where farmers often earn more.

As we move into a more virtual world, where work is no longer connected to sweat labour, or direct utility, when everyone owns a machine capable of digital and physical reproduction our fundamental understanding of value will shift; bringing about new economic principles.

1. Democracy allows people to control the government.

2. Corporations are people. (In the US)

3. Corporations are the richest, most powerful, psychopathic people.

It is not hard to see the problem here.

Leadership, foresight and intuition are needed in a technical founder as well.

There are many many more non technical people looking to do a start-up; it is also the case that most non-technical professionals can easily be replaced. But remember we are talking of partners, not employees.

see: https://developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/faq.htm...

Q: I’m a non-US developer and trying to register for a Developer Account. Do I need a U.S. taxpayer ID? A: If you have a US taxpayer ID, please use this number. If you only have a foreign tax ID number you can enter your foreign tax ID number in the Tax Identification Number field.

i.e. For a Canadian individual (like me), you can use your SIN, if you want. Or use gibberish and figure it out later if there are any problems.
