The concept of ORM is a subset of the concept of SQL. When you're adding complexity and/or overhead to something to achieve a subset of functionality, you'd better have a damned go…

The things I want sold are all my zero-cost, spare-time projects - if they don't count as commission-only coding, nothing does.

That very much depends if we've worked out how to read the calculations without collapse yet...

They're ethereal by design - they're more like placeholders for gaps in our understanding than they are concepts in their own right, they're there to be removed or explained.

Class FAIL - It's a cheap and tacky "look at me" ploy. Unlike hacking Time's poll, which required a little tech, a little thinking, and highlighted a security issue to Time.

Google isn't actively using the trademarks, it is responding to a query containing the trademark. Passive, not active. If that doesn't make it acceptable, then that particular law …
