In the continuing saga of computers making it possible to do things no sane person wanted to, we have the prospect of ever-changing toilet paper prices. It's a small version of the idea that Wall Street can keep playing faster and faster for ever-bigger jackpots, which makes me hear the organ playing sinister foreshadowing music.

The law should say that no trade is valid without a piece of paper signed by the buyer and seller. If children aren't legally competent to make contracts, then surely computers aren't.
