..then I guess a way to ensure better replication up to that point (across versions), would be to code version-info into the saved files, and also, to take use of 'diff' files, for each patch released. So, if you would load an older save on a new-patched game, you could perhaps 'calibrate' using diff-files, so as to upgrade the deprecated moves, to suit the new patches..
I've no idea why I'm writing this; just seems interesting..
...something like a script, that replicates (i.e. replays) the code (like journaling fs when crashed), so that you get up to the most-recent point, which was when you pressed save...?

...forgive my ignorance, but doesn't "blazing fast compiles" generally mean bad optimization of binaries? (to processors..)
"Someone" should (sad way to say it; but I can't code and all..) make an extenstion that copies the synchronization -codes, and sync server(?) vars, so that bookmarks.[htm/bak] is sent/received from the Yahoo storage of bookmarks, so then we wouldn't need the damn Yahoo-BAR, (YET another bar???) but use it's functions without it..
Maybe it would be safer, to sync with an 'include virtual' temp bookmark file, that was nested within 'bookmarks.htm', so it wouldn't damage anything..
They could "introduce" a new Top-Level Domain (*.tlf.[country] for instance; whatever), that could cost very little for the voip "customer" to get.
This would help identify people to a certain extent; perhaps like registrar whois lookup, but perhaps not so detailed; --more like the regular (analogue) phone book listing(s) people have today.
I'm sure there's a better solution, but something will probably be done about this sooner or later..
They're probably planning to TAMPER with the RSS content; stick in ads that bring them revenue, and such, what else can possibly be lucrative with this?
I bet the copyright identity of most blogs are vague at best, so they can probably get away with messing with other people's intellectual property.

Think about the benefits of developing self-containing/booting titles!
#1: You could stick the demos of, let's say; 5-10 games on a bootable DVD, you know; the one's that come with PC-Magazines (and, additionally; release these bootable ISO's on the net; Torrent-style), EVERYONE will gain on doing something like this!
The demo-rant above, is a tactical solution, so that people can boot the disk, and get a straight answer if the title will run on your PC, (speed/compatibility) not working; not buying..
#2: One title on a disc, means that the title will boot unattended, and multiple titles, will look like a PSX demo-disc; simply a menu, like on Linux installation disks, just "simpler"..
#3: Saving will be done on USB/Card/HDD, or with some form of "hibernate" when you exit, or "restore points", whatever..
