The basic rule is: If it is physically possible for someone to grab your idea and run with it, someone will! A NDA is just a piece of paper. It doesn't help you if the other one gives your data to a third person, who then creates a big company, and sues you if you so much as speak of that idea as being yours again.
What will you do? Sue the middle man? That won't bring you back your idea or stop the third person, will it?
Trust is a hard thing to get right. But it's trustworthy people that you need. At least if you can't patent it.
Hey, I got girls have dreamy eyes and ask me that I absolutely must tell them when I realized my project. It seems like a great indicator, indeed.:D
But beware that she must not be interested in you before it. If she wants you, she will have dreamy eyes and completely enter your (story) world anyway.
I only use the eDonkey network for small files (music, images, books), and BitTorrent for the big ones, so that thing won't even affect that.
The only bad thing is, that now rare bigger files (like lossless music, very specific software, etc) will be hard to get.
But I really do wonder. Because as far as I know, no network out there works without checksums. So poisoning will be detected, and then circumvented (e.g, manually).
So that whole "PC gaming is dead" thing, is just a "monkey see, monkey do" parroting problem. A tiny group of uninformed but loud people said it first, and a ton of parrots repeat it over and over. Hmm... it does remind me of the 40s.:P
Hmm... With that many problems, I would consider moving. I don't know if you love the place you live for other reasons... But to me, at some level, I'd move for a good Internet connection. (As for other things like clean water, and a acceptable apartment too.)
It's funny, how intelligent people tell me, the second part explained it all, and the third was the logical conclusion. And dumb people tell me, that the second part made no sense, and that there was no reason for the third part.
I admit, that when I first watched it, if was just at the border of my capabilities, to understand it. But after a bit of thinking and watching it the second time it was pretty clear.
And the third part, in a loud THX cinema, was just sheer fun of action. Also the machine world at the end was the most impressive I had seen in TV up to that day.
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy License, then shalt thou count to 40 GBP, no more, no less. 40.00 GBP shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be 40. 50 shalt thou not count, neither count thou 30, excepting that thou then proceedest on to 40. 60 is right out. Once the 40.00 GBP, being the 40th number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy License of Windows towards thy Amazon, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.
Wanna know what we real professionals do, who don't have the time or the stupidity to re-invent the wheel of memory management every time they write a program?
We solve that problem once, make a library out of it or abstract it out, and are done with it. We call it advanced garbage collection.
It's like a calculator: You could do all those calculations in your head, or with a mechanic tool, in less steps than the calculator needs. But why? The problem was solved decades ago.
In my eyes, between C with assembler, Haskell, and Python & co, there is no space left to be filled by C++. It's a dirty ugly language, that wants the features of Haskell with the low-level of C, but fails to be better than any of those two.
Well, if you do what you actually like, instead of being the idiot who realizes the dreams of others, your "work" will be your most favorite activity. So 100 yours suddenly look pretty good.
But not getting paid for it.... let's say: Business model: You're doin' it wrong! ^^
That's a classic logic fallacy. To outperform a "normal" car, it only has to beat it in *one* thing, while being equal in all others. It does *not* need to fulfill all your wishes, including the pony and the kitchen sink.;)
Well. From my experience, they still get hot. And the low-power connector still can "electrocute your floor" (or cat). Not big, but both things it can draw power.
Also, I don't know why, but on some adapters, there is a warning, that prolonged use without the device connected, could damage the adapter.
It's even better, when your hose is slit down in a spiraling fashion. This makes it more flexible and the cable can come out of any side. and you then can stick the end of one part into the branching point of the other, and thereby make them stay together. These things can be bought ready-made at some big computer or electric stores.
The problem is that there are too many cables, right? So you want N cables to become 1 cable?
Well, why not take a generic bus system? But the connectors are mostly different?
So you either have to use devices who all have that generic bus connector, which is not realistic. Or you find something that lets you combine all the cables into one bus, right at the device.
Unfortunately, I don't know of such a system. At least not one that could really combine most of the cables.
So my only suggestion left, is to use cable binders that you can open again, and bind everything down to one strand right at the device. And create as little branches as possible.
Or invent such a generic bus system, and get all the vendors to actually use them, despite their desire for lock-in, and buy the new versions of all your devices.;)
But if I decode what you tried to say, then this is just a VPN with on-the-fly connecting and disconnecting functionality. I don't see what the point of this would be.
But then how can it connect even before the user logs is? With a... let me guess... VPN with a machine account??
Sorry, but this all looks just like a typical Microsoft re-labeling: Put another name on it, describe it differently, and sell it as if you had invented something.
Or am I completely wrong here? I don't think so, because then why is that difference that I am missing not stated right an the beginning of the page?

Which USC do you mean? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USC
Looking at their level of competence, I'd say: Both.
And neither. :P
Well. maybe we should throw something poisonous in their well.
Oh, wait. We're already doing it, and it works great. :D

I can give you some real data to back that up:
According to Bitkom (the German organization for IT, telecoms and new media), 73 percent of online games are played trough the browser (e.g. Flash games). And the most used gaming device by far, is the PC.
So that whole "PC gaming is dead" thing, is just a "monkey see, monkey do" parroting problem. A tiny group of uninformed but loud people said it first, and a ton of parrots repeat it over and over. Hmm... it does remind me of the 40s. :P
No. That was the point. It's Lord. Alan Lord. As in TFS. :D
Hmm... With that many problems, I would consider moving. I don't know if you love the place you live for other reasons... But to me, at some level, I'd move for a good Internet connection. (As for other things like clean water, and a acceptable apartment too.)
The "country" called Europe is with you (assuming you're from the African continent) on this. :)

In Germany we say:
FIAT: Fehler in allen Teilen (Loosely translates as "Failure is all parts".)
MAZDA: Müll auf zwei dünnen Achsen (Trash on two thin axis.)
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy License, then shalt thou count to 40 GBP, no more, no less. 40.00 GBP shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be 40. 50 shalt thou not count, neither count thou 30, excepting that thou then proceedest on to 40. 60 is right out.

That language would be called Haskell. And the type safety crowbar built into GHC really freaking hurts (your brain)! ;)
Haskell -- The most beautiful and painful language to learn at the same time.
Am I a masochist? If so then: Moar monads, in teh gonads! ^^
There are some small cars, which get easily over 1000 km (~620 miles) with one tank. One company specifically advertised it.
Well, if you do what you actually like, instead of being the idiot who realizes the dreams of others, your "work" will be your most favorite activity. So 100 yours suddenly look pretty good.

Good luck connecting that thing, because the switch will be one of those huge things that have large arcs of electicity between them.
Looks cool, but don't get near anyone of those! ^^
After recharging, the battery glows white from the heat, and therefore you need Tokamak-style magnetic heat shields on the inside.
On the plus side, you don't need to turn on your headlights anymore.
Well, in face of who would decide it otherwise: HELL YES!
At least in theory, we could replace the government. But replacing any company? Never!
