Are they going to start tracing IPs or something now? They got in trouble for collecting data from computers with bad CD-keys a while ago, and I doubt that they are eager to repeat that.

Well, so long as you keep your commander, you can store a bit of that. Just do what I do: build a field of nuke silos so that you can rain destruction on your enemy. Oh, and if you're not on a metal world, build Moho Metal Makers. And maybe some Krogoths.

This reminds me of the room-temperature superconductor. The company required this scientist to make a RTS, and he couldn't figure it out. So, finally, he hit on the "if you can't raise the bridge, lower the river" idea. He made a room that had a temperature low enough for the superconductor to work.
The point? If man colonizes the ocean floor, perhaps his "baby clothes" will become a pressure suit.
How well would this scale up? I remember reading a while ago that gNutella was worried about Napster getting banned, because they would get a flood of new users, and that system doesn't scale up well. As I recall (and understand it), each client forwards queries (which have a TTL attached) until either TTL==0 or it finds what it's looking for. If packets were hopping from wireless to wireless to wireless, it would both put a load on each wireless (esp. the last one) for passing along packets and on bandwidth.
I don't claim to have a good understanding on how this would work, but I think *somebody* should probably worry about it.
