I'm not sure the point of this is to create a especially impressive game - nor, to start with, create one thats very playable. Remember its only in beta, these things can be tweaked.
The key is for the kid (Ben) to be able to say that he made a computer game... which he can now do.
Saying that - I do agree, it is too darned difficult at the moment.
I'm guessing they will be partnering with broadband providers to push these things. If they are clever they will put proxies in place at these ISPs - not only to spread the load, but also keep the bandwidth costs down.

The BBC make you cookie your machine before viewing an index page - it allows them to customise news better for the UK audience that actually pays for the bandwidth.
All BBC sites are load balanced over two datacentres - one in London one in NYC - http://support.bbc.co.uk/support/network. I don't think your selection of customised news affects which DC you use.
First, the domain is not found so it redirects to Verisign. Then Verisign reads the domain name off the URL and puts it in thier HTML page. The domain name happens to be a bit of javascript that then executes when that bit of the page is loaded and shows the msgbox.

What about MySQL 5? Stored procedures seems to be the biggest new feature...
Bah, redundant already :-(. Mod me down
You must be new around here.
Wow - I want one of them "Pahntom Wall Clock[s]"
Try archive.org or the Google cache.
This looks like a big mistake - what happens if they want to use a different caching service, or Akamai goes bust? All the feeds will die.

Vote with your feet... if you don't like the manufacturer's apparently alligence to MS then go buy a different make.

I believe the legislation was needed to increase the library's remit to cover electronic documents.
The library is currently government funded to cover just paper documents.
Yeah. I hear they use leftover Newtons as doorstops at Apple HQ.

Excuse my ignorance, but why is electronic device this being approved by the "Food & Drugs Administration"?
VNC works pretty well over GPRS actually. As does Terminal Services.
