I'm confused. How much is Sprint's plan supposed to cost? Because I have an unlimited "premium" data plan on a 450 minute line and I only shell out around $85-$90 a month, after taxes and what not.
I have no idea where this other 20 bucks is supposed to be coming from.
$110 is around how much one would expect to pay for around a GB of data on the new shared plans with one cell phone, from what I understand.
If there is much doubt about Valve being able to spearhead a movement to OpenGL, remember that they were the ones who completely revolutionized digital distribution and are the closest thing we have to fair DRM.
Just because an idea sounds to crazy to be plausible doesn't mean it is. If there would be a company to lead this charge, it would be Valve, along with the hundreds of Indie developers it does business with.
IIRC, demonoid has had several outages throughout the years, some lasting weeks at a time. I would be surprised if this lasted much longer, but I would be far more surprised if this really did spell the end of demonoid all together.
The first thing I thought when I saw the amount they would be fined was "600 thousand ISK is chump change. I could make 50 million in an hour, no problem."

http://xkcd.com/792/ Pretty much sums up my argument against it.
And by 600, I mean 800. Whoops.
