There are about 500 transactions per block; each block contains 25BTC + fees (the fees are negligible at the moment). At the current price of $350/BTC that means that the revenue per transaction is 25*350/500 = $17, which means that the cost per transaction should be around that area. This means that the low transaction fee is actually massively subsidized by the fixed block reward.

Regarding point 7, that the collation order is context-dependent: does a title that starts with T come before or after a word that starts with U? What if it starts with "The"?

In that case, I just came up with some awesome new minimalist wiki software: it's called 'plain text files in a git repository'.

There's no way within GPG to easily determine whether you have a trust path to a given key unless you have all the intermediate keys already.

You should only intentionally kill their server if you're willing to compensate them for the revenue they lost while they try to figure out what the hell happened.
An alternate analogy would be something like: "I saw you forgot to install a lock on door, so I superglued it shut."
