I bought a very expensive micro-pc and it has no CD/DVD rom drive. This means that I have to burn an ISO of whatever CDs and load them with daemon tools so I can use them. Granted, not everyone has a micro-PC, but I can think of several laptops that do not have CD drive simply because they are so thin that the drives don't fit. The computer may otherwise be perfectly capable of playing the game, but since nobody wants to lug around a big external CD drive, so they burn a copy of it instead!
Flash drives are getting to be pretty cheap now, why not sell the game on one of those?

was I the only one who saw the phoenix project logo and thought it looked remarkably similar the Firefox logo? Firefox was originally called phoenix was it not? Coincidence? I think not!
OK I just know this sort of method will get mashed-up with PGP and be an FOSS project complete with a really cool pigeon icon inside of a year. to late http://www.pidgin.im/
so it's unhealthy (like smoking) and it's bad for the environment (like CO2 emmissions). It only seems logical to handle it in the same way - a Fat Tax!
they made promises they can't live up to and now they are handling it by censoring the internet. I don't care if it is "necessary", they screwed up and it should be handled in a responsible way - by upgrading the network

all of the above
It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous.
Side effects may include:
1) excessive hair growth
2) the irresistible urge to eat cheese
3) increased fertility

I recommend a 2 pronged approach:
1) take along your own keyboard to avoid hardware key-loggers
2) use a live CD to avoid software key-loggers
if it's anything like iMesh then I'm staying the hell away!
