I have had good luck with the MS IRM stuff. If that won't work you might consider hosting everything centrally and require your users to view them over Citrix or some other thin client technology.
I hooked a mac mini up to the TV and got a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The PC stays out of reach and OSX is about as easy to use and kid friendly as you will find in an OS.
Of course 2 is way to young for any computer... you should wait at least another year or two.
It has seemed to me there is a hole in the ratings system for a while. That games like GTA, GOW, and fall out 3 end up with the same rating as The Longest Journey doesn't seem right to me.
On your other point. As a parent of young children and a gamer I do look at ESRB ratings before I buy anything for the kids.
Auto Assault is a case in point, and the servers could potentially be reused for another game... so they wouldn't want to give away the source.
In the case of bankruptcy having the code in escrow is much worse for the investors (the ones who paid for the game to be made in the first place) and there is really no upside in doing it since consumers, by and large, don't care if the code is escrowed.
My wife can't play the Sims (bought through the EA store) without logging in... so it is at least unclear if this would have applied to offline/single player content.
because you are actively interfering with your employers business. You are better off just refusing to do it on legal grounds (be sure to document this) and then suing them if they fire you for not breaking the law.
I think you are looking at the problem wrong. Each IP address only needs to be enough information to:
Get to the end-point
Get closer to the end point
and doesn't really need to differentiate between the two. The IP address (first 32 bits) does exactly that with or without NAT.
With NAT it will eventually hit a router that knows how to translate it and do exactly the same thing. Once traffic is inside my network firewalls, etc can just do thier thing... blissfully unaware that there was any NAT involved. This obviously decreases the ability of my ISP or other MITM to monitor my internet activity unless I explicitly set them up as an endpoint but this isn't a bad thing.
On the server side things are obviously a little trickery... but the non-nated scheme is very wasteful even in the simplest case.
consider the domain foo.com
with servers:
www.foo.com (listining on port 80)
mail.foo.com (listining on port 25 and 110)
ftp.foo.com (listining on port 20 and 21)
so you have 3 different boxes that could be rolled into one IP address with no complexity outside of the router doing the nat. You obviously don't get the same efficiency as you do on the client side but that isn't necessarily needed.
You would eat a casserole that had been sitting in your oven for a month?
Not to mention that having most of those things on while you are not home isn't safe.
The GP's point is that lots of the protocols used on the internet were abandoned (as in the case of gopher) or improved (as in the case of http) as the needs of its users and capabilities of the network improved and that we have not locked in to a fixed set of technologies.
if its working directory was set correctly. Normally it is set to the directory that the application is in and definitely shouldn't be set to the user's desktop directory.
Safari shouldn't be downloading files without prompting the user. In this case it is a dll... but from what I understand it could just as easily be an trojan named something like "My Computer.exe".

tele = at a distance
viso = to look at
so the word still works regardless of if you are using a TV set or a PC to view the video.

in this case I think step 4 is more like !!! than ???.
there is no way that code is gonna pass review.
The net has been about to melt down any day now for at least 10 years.

isn't this a problem with the whole SaaS concept? At least with a game you don't lose anything that has "real" value.

There are several NAT traversal solutions (e.g. STUN)... using an external proxy is typically the method of last resort.
its called NAT... it works and widely used it solves the problem for a very long time.
With either with polling for price information or a central controller (which would be needed anyway) that received pushed updates.

a year or so (maybe more) ago that I thought pegged the price at around $10B.
Do you have a source for that?

if you have physical access. Anyone competent enough to run a large network should be able to do it.
if its working directory was set correctly. Normally it is set to the directory that the application is in and definitely shouldn't be set to the user's desktop directory.
Application A shouldn't download it without asking the user.
Application B is not setting its working directory correctly.
Safari shouldn't be downloading files without prompting the user. In this case it is a dll... but from what I understand it could just as easily be an trojan named something like "My Computer.exe".
Because the document he is commenting on doesn't say anything about P2P.
