This is pretty much how it works in my country (Australia). Those earning under 55k are not required to make repayments, and those who never earn that salary do not repay a cent.
The government of course loses money on this scheme, but the people would tear down any government that tried to revoke it. It's an important and fair middle ground between national free ride and a USA-style 'sins of the father' system. Also note that the repayment amount is nowhere near the true cost of the degree, due to Conmonwealth-supported places.
If you have time to work your way through school at current US tuition, you are probably taking courses below your level.
But does the college ever get to hit it big in Australia? If one of your students goes on to earn millions do you get 3% of that? Or is it capped at some value?
The Australian system is like an interest-free loan that you don't have to make repayments on until you earn above a certain threshold. The government gets the same return from a student making $60k as one making $1m through the scheme.
(Currently the amount you owe is indexed with inflation. At the moment the federal government is trying to change it to accrue interest at the bond rate (3.8%-6% rather than 2%-3%) and reduce the income level before you have to start making repayments, but it's unlikely they will be able to get the votes to get this through the senate.)
There is no solution to the Byzantine Generals problem. If you control more than one third of the nodes, you can wreak havoc, and likely do what you please with the network.
You know who has that kind of computing power? States.

Given they mostly have business / law / academic backgrounds, I am not sure that anybody has ever put the case for fibre speeds to the Libs in terms other than 'this is what people want, and it is good.' The use cases used in Labor promotions were patronising to the extreme. Don't be surprised that they've concluded it is simply a 'nice thing' that people want but will loathe paying for.
To be honest with you, the things I am planning to do when I get a gigabit line are not exactly in the 'nation-building' category, either. I'm not sure how to fix that PR problem.

Lawyers or former law students are the most numerous profession in Parliament. Gillard was a lawyer. Abbott studied Law as an undergraduate, as did Howard and Hawke.
The professional training of a lawyer equips them to vigorously argue a case they may not themselves agree with, and to do so in forensic detail. The skillset and subject matter has a strong overlap with the work of politics.
That doesn't mean we couldn't do with some more professional diversity in Parliament and the Cabinet. It'd be nice to see some more scientists, engineers and the like on both sides of the chamber.
Turnbull is well aware that fibre is the right way to go. They were trying to wedge Labor by not allowing them to get credit for anything.
Labor was not able to communicate its vision or its successes. Rudd was brought I. Far too late to undo the damage. They are now in the wilderness for some time. Yet again.
I run it under Xen with a GPU passed through using VT-d. There are dozens of guides for running it in Xen and also many guides for passing GPUs through to Xen guests. No problems to report. The OSX guest has full access to the GPU. Yet to attempt an OS upgrade though.
