This is good, but there's a small problem. It should be interesting though to see what the **AA will do in return, as in complaining to Congress while filling their pockets with cash. Since we all know that Congress can be easily persuaded by cash, don't see surprised to hear one day that blocking the **AA from accessing your computer is a now violation of the DMCA/other new laws enacted in reaction to this. They will probably also say that firewalls are illegal as well, but that's just about the brain power I think most people up there have.
A free program doing certain tasks better than high priced commericial programs? This should be illegal here in the USA, don't be surprised to see corporate execs begging Congress to ban this kind of thing!

I wasn't saying that QuakeCon 2002 had been going on for a long time; I was saying that LAN parties had been going on for a long time now.
So this is news? I thought this had been going on for quite some time now...
