ahh, good old rutgers, i think my favorites were the xterms in the campus labs, a shame they got rid of them, though i managed to snag a couple from surplus. woot
However, THEY are using it for a legitimate use and are getting something out of it. That doesn't make it quite as 'evil' as they have been saying that it is.
people are still using the same amount of bandwidth payed for, no matter how many machines are using it. when will these companies realize that many people have multiple computers in their home?
this may be a good direction to go for game developers. if they release they engine under the GPL it allows community input, and may get some interesting things done.
and releasing the data files commercially is not that bad. it might give game develoers more of an incentive to make a good plot (first person shooters) so that people would want that added material.
here at school i work for the dorm networking service, when people have trouble getting connected (all the time) we have to go out and troubleshoot. they also have to register their MAC address (problems with ip hoppers and such) and read the AUP. whenever we go out when we get to that part, we have them read it and accept, we don't accept to anything for them.
i would think they should at least give you a chance to read the AUP/EULA/TOS before they install anything. if you don't agree, then don't use it.
we had a debate about this at our Student Linux Users Group at school, we ended up deciding that it was a silly thing to debate about. yes they deserve credit for what they've done, but they ar e VERY pushy.
Stallman did not want to come speak for us unless we changed the name, he decided we were a 'lost cause'

this was an awesome movie. soccer, martial arts, and evil team. the soundtrack was very good as well.

as it is, walking around campus i am assaulted by stickers for everything imaginable, bands, political positions, clubs and whatnot.
i can't imagine having animated ones flashing at me constantly..
although, it could be worse, they could have integrated sound as well.
but they'll give you develpment tools so you can make your own! only for $99
