In the only game or AA I ever played on the gamespy server (which is protected by punkbuster), half of the people in the game were cheating. I was so discouraged at the failure of punkbuster that I never played AA again, especially because it can't keep up with the new cheats because it covers so many games.
Gamers just won't tolerate this model - it will probably be tried out by game makers for a while, and when it fails the game makers will drop the system. However, I think that there will be more protection for game sharing in the future.
Liquid helium? Why settle for a noble gas? I think liquid hydrogen is the cooling liquid of choice for people trying to destroy parts of their neighborhood when the heat from their overclocked PC melts the metal on the cooling tubes.
I think you need to think about what you just said for a minuite. Wood is a replenishable natural resource, meaning that it grows back. Old growth forests are just forests that have been around for a long time. Given enough time, old growth forests will replinish, meaning that they are not irreplaceable. However, these days people are too impatient to wait for forests to become old, since profit not beauty drives the economy, so you are right about them being valuable from an economic standpoint.
Isn't gator's correction of what people call their spyware a violation of free speach? It seems to me like this is unconstitutional (sorry all of you who don't live in the US) and it would be really nice for gator to get some federal punishment. I think all of our hard drives would be happy if gator got punished - one less set of spyware on the net to infect our systems
What's all the fun in the product just not working? If the company does that, then they have no exscuse to collect information and possibly make money off of pirated copies of their software by selling this information to other people.
Is there some sort of acceleration/decelaration belt or are the people just supposed to walk off of the belt traveling at highway speeds - if they have to walk off, wouldn't the momentum kill them and everyone that their flying bodies impail?

I stuck them to either side of the flap of skin between my nostrils. Going to the doctor to get neodynium magnets removed from your sinuses isn't fun.
