Wouldn't Firefox or Opera users easily be able to block these ads? Not that it matters much to the ISP, as I assume most of their users would be on IE, so they wouldn't be losing that many viewers.
How on earth do you get a slider in fullscreen mode on VLC? Under preferences, go to Interface and turn on "Show interface with mouse", and I forgot where else, but for a WMP-esque look, some where else turn on the option "embed video in player" or something like that.
I'm not saying the game is bad at all, but I wouldn't exactly call Guitar Hero "innovative". There have been plenty of music & rhythm games out before Guitar Hero, such as GuitarFreaks, which came out years earlier. Red Octane just happened sell a good game, to the right market, at the right time.
Seeing as how cliffski said he didn't use DRM on his products, I don't see how he is "restricting [his] users' freedom." I can't imagine how there's anything wrong with charging someone money to use a product you created, especially since the consumer would, in this situation, be allowed to download, install, and play the game as he or she wishes.

Think for a second. You do realize that would defeat the user's purpose of visiting the page, right?
Yeah, that's what I used to say, but care to venture a guess as to why Wordpad can't read .DOC's in Vista?

Not only has someone mentioned PPP, but several PS2 DDR games had this with the Eye-Toy attachment.
How do you get updates/software for your other OS's? By post?
You've been able to order a disc of XP SP2, for free, for a while now.
