The world's biggest hacker will be the one that brings the entire internet to its knees in a couple of hours, the entire internet will be dead. That will be the world's biggest hacker.
Of course the internet will start to come back online after everyone is done patching and reinstalling.
The less tracking issue mainly addresses the really popular files so that you won't have to rely on one central server to contact.
And the search thing, just decreases the need for multiple files on multiple places. Do you really need 10 different torrents for a linux distro that is exactly the same as the others?
And the tracking of people could still happen just have them send some data to a central server when finished downloading.
We haven't found liquid water on another planet yet, but I am willing to bet that somewhere out on some planet besides Earth, there is liquid water.
Life formed relatively early on Earth, I would not assume why it would not form elsewhere, especially when there is an uncountable number of worlds in this universe.
Wouldn't be surprised, I mean they were completely unaware of how they lost so much browser marketshare, or if they did know, they didn't do anything to gain it back.
Wow, a gig of memory is the less than the size of CS and HL!
Call me when it gets to 8 gigs. Easily with Steam's content library, and/or 3rd party mods, like Natural Selection, or Science & Industry or whatever. Then there is the addition of maps which will bring it up.
This would happen whether you used Steam or not though.
Steam has several great improvements, content downloading. The biggest problem of steam is probably that it takes up memory, roughly 24 MB in RAM. Also standardizing versions. Frankly I think it would be better allowed those that want to play 1.5 or 1.6 CS without all their "official updates" but I am sure some savvy coder could do that with any of the admin mods that can change pretty much anything a coder wants if they can figure a way to do it.
Steam alone only takes up 30 MB, the biggest file being platform.gcf weighing in at 13 MB.
And there is the problem of having to "register online" just to play the HL2 singleplayer.
Its great as a distribution method, fast, easy downloading, I have gotten 6 MB on my modem with the content downloading, the problem mainly being that Valve doesn't have to deal with distributors if they really wanted to, and can maybe get more money for their product but they also seem to be pleasing the customer with lots of extras though.
OMG, you are so stupid, what I said wasn't supposed to be based in any sense of rationality, it was a bad joke to begin with, like your Creationists and evolution ending line.
They are strengthing the American military by consolidating it, we have way to many bases in the US, most are cold war relics based on rapid response of an attack from the soviet union.
And who said we have to give kinetic weapons a ride up? Maybe they want to manufacture from the moon, ala The Moon is a Harsh Mistress?
The bases are mostly useless, I am guessing, the Airbase near me is being closed, but it has a Air Guard base across the runway, mind you its useless now, since it is a cold war relic mainly. The base closures are necessary and even if we get weapons in space that probably means we won't be risking the lives of our soldiers and pilots as much...
Teen lushes in Pennsylvania have no trouble finding liquor or beer. They did a survey or something to find out where kids got their alcohol, most of it came from parents or friends. Which just goes to show that parents or friends approve of kids of certain ages drinking. And frankly kids usually don't even like wine, and you can get alcohol shipped via mail.
My Dad's friend actually had 2 cases of wine sent to my Aunt's house while we were on vacation there because it was easier and cheaper since you couldn't get it from the state store, even by ordering it.
The law only seems to affect larger orders, unlike what kids order, kids don't go and order 12 bottles of wine. And if they want one bottle of wine, they could buy it off e-bay or some crap. Shipping 1 bottle is not a real problem because who would want to complain about one bottle being shipped, its like stopping someone for going just 1 mph over the amount a police officer can stop you at, its being a dick and a nitpick.
Yeah, I don't want to wait the 6 more months to buy the DVDs to the second season of the L-Word, it would be nice to download it now. Maybe I don't have a TiVo, but I have a computer, and missed the Simpsons the past two weeks, why can't I download them?

I live in Pennsylvania, which has the second worst roads in the country. I can tell the difference between asphalt and concrete.
Concrete is usually smooth, but noisy.
Asphalt has tends to get potholes from people just spitting on it. And from the "unique" weather we get in Pennsylvania, although New York, Ohio, Maryland, and the Virginias don't have a problem, with similar weather patterns.
They lay nothing but asphalt here and yes, when it is freshly laid, its nice and smooth, but it is the worst solution, since they have to relay it every 5-10 years on even the lightly used roads.
Eh, and it could also be argued that people believed that Saddam had WMD. There was no smoking gun, there was absolutely fucking nothing to show that he had even a factory or warehouse for them.
Funny how Pakistan, India, North Korea, China have been seeking WMD but we aren't doing shit about that.
Oh yeah, it was about freeing the Iraqi people nevermind. Would be nice if we freed the North Korean people.
We went to Iraq because it has one of the largest supplies of oil. Yes, yes, give me that "but gas costs $2 still". Maybe the government predicted something we did not. If North Korea was sitting on a large supply of oil, we would probably be there by now. The facts are Iraq sits on a large supply of oil, and the world demands a lot of oil. So we are probably making the oil cheaper, and or more plentiful since it isn't being regulated by the UN or Saddam's government.
That's the problem with them damn Brits, they don't realize it's boobies in movies that's the real corrupting influence, not a little innocent killing and maiming.
Not true. Swear words are also ruining American society.

5yr old desktop screens don't lose entire lines of pixels though. Or have dead pixels.

That begs the question, did he use the video studio for illegal purposes, what about remote illegal purposes?
Then you have to wonder, did he encrypt the video? Because the MPAA owns the patent on encrypting video.

And History labels them as who won in the end.
The other problem is the companies would probably overcharge on the popular stuff instead of delivering savings to the consumer.
Although I also see that it could take away the monopolies from the networks.
"I hope they don't find out I'm a fan of the Gilmore Girls."
I am a fan of it too, mostly because of Lauren Graham, who is pretty damn hot in my opinion.
I just wish I knew what channel and time it was on, I just catch it whenever I flip the channels.

Along with my State DOT which issues out IDs and Driver's Licenses...
And I know the IRS uses it too...
it may have been illegal but not anymore
Soc. Sec. Cards have been used for years as a form of National ID, I welcome this, just wish it was more secure and private.

1. Except for all those weapons inspectors.... That turned up nothing for like 10 years.
