Why stick to paper when much more advanced tech has been around for over 20 years and is being used by third world countries?
Crane and Co., the paper supplier to the US gov't for its paper money, hires lobbyists. It's the reason we don't use polymer banknotes. It's also the reason that we haven't replaced all our $1 banknotes with coins.
Besides "Mr. Crytek" isn't talking about Innovation - he's talking about creative expression. The ability to have "more" in a game (better graphics, bigger worlds, more detail).
Creative expression? Give me a break. That's like saying that a photographer is more creative than a painter because photos have higher resolutions than paintings.
The computer I'm typing this comment on is 10 years old. 600 MHz PIII with 384 MB of RAM. A 30 GB hard drive, and it's only now that I'm running out of space. The "environmental factors" are not the best, seeing as dust bunnies multiply like real bunnies where this computer is located. But it's still running beautifully (now on Windows XP).
You can make anything last for a long time. It really doesn't matter what it is.
I'm there with you, buddy. I'm typing this on a ancient HP Pavilion 8670c. Uses a Pentium III 600 MHz and 384 MB of RAM. The drive is a whopping 30 GB.
Actually, it came with Windows 98, but I put 2000 on it, then half a year ago, I put XP on it. XP by far is the best Windows OS that's run on it.
The reason this doesn't work is because people start to consider the fine as a type of fee for using your cell phone while driving. They will feel that if they pay the fine, they will be able to use their cell phones on the road.
This sounds like a good idea for transferring content securely. The contents of the memory will degrade in a short time, making it ideal for carrying sensitive data.
That may be, but the species diversity of the trees planted has to be taken into account as well. 8 trees of a different species each are more valuable to the ecosystem than 220 trees of only 2 or 3 different species.
You can write cease-and-desist letters to the webmasters of sites with information about yourself you would like removed. Alternatively, there are companies who will do all this work for you for a price.

And obviously run BSD, because "everyone knows" BSD is dying.
Netcraft confirms it!
You're so dead.

Okay, but can you really trust any government to keep broadband censorship-free?
Randall Munroe can back you up on that.
Pfft. Emacs can already do that.
Wrong. Ever heard of the sneakernet?

:-/ Serves me right. That's the first comment I've written that's been moderated as a troll.
All of my posts are in the public domain, so you really can share my previous comment if you wanted to.
Sorry. I had forgotten all about the Streisand effect. I revoke my previous comment.

That is my biggest fear. No matter how hard you try to keep information about yourself off of the Internet, someone will put it up.

Will a car analogy fit?
It's all the information we "own".
Information wants to be free! You pro-IP bastard! GOD BLESS RICHARD STALLMAN
Why would a company who makes most its profit on ads willingly allow users of its browser to subvert its main source of money?
Well, they can use UPnP if their router and software support it. But I can't vouch for it, as I don't use it myself.
