think again buddy. 10 movies a month @ 4 bucks a pop = $40, + the deferred cost of renting the thing. For a tad over 20 you can get netflix, and if you don't want netflix because you don't feel like waiting for 3 days for your movies, if you live in a fairly populated area, I am sure you have a blockbuster within 5 minutes of your house.
The only way I'd subscribe to something like this is if for 20, 30, maybe even 40 bucks a month I can watch any movie I want, as many times as I want, within less than 10/15 minutes of pressing a button. I honestly have absolutely no idea, considering netflix success, why nobody has come up w/ something like this yet.

maybe you were trolling, but please enlight me: besides getting to where you're going somewhat faster, why would you need something like this? This without mentioning, of course, speed limits and packed roads. And from your "I am not interested", one can get to his/her own conclusions: I guess a cleaner environment, not depending on the middle east tyrans and cheaper fuel, between a lot others, are not enough reasons for you to want to change your vehicle. Yeah, I guess a sporty looking car for you to get girls and cheap thrills you cannot get in any other way is really worth not switching to electric cars.
This is getting more and more ridiculous, now we get supoenad *before* anything happens. What the heck happened to 'innocent until proven otherwise'?
Let me ask you something; how can we call the US the 'free capital of the world', or 'a place where personal freedom thrive' when one can be pretty much condemned because of the connontations and possible uses that the piece of software one wrote *might* have?
Who are we as individuals when we support and raise our stand to *free the world of tyrans* overseas, when we let this type of things happen @ home? Yes, I know. Two totally different things. The consequences of having a tyran as a ruler are definitely not the same than having a corrupt and money driven institution that proposes and passes laws; but the underlying principle is the same. Freedom, of any kind.

the 'genes' part is new (and very cool) but the 'snakebot' as a concept has been around for a while.
NASA announced something like it in OCT-00

and this guys tried to put it in layman terms:

yeah, that would work.
It would be very, very difficult for M$ to have an insider and instantly modify their code to track/interpret/analize whatever you have to say. As if they care, anyway.
