I've always thought that the technological singularity will come when we have these three things: teleportation, replication, and some sort of near-limitless energy source (I'm thinking tapping the sun or some such thing). Basically, these three things should solve most of the global problems of our time.
It'll be interesting to see what society looks like.
Even the email boxes can be automated. PHP and most other web languages have methods and/or libraries to access a POP box. Tie this to an automatic mailbox creation system and you have instantaneous response to "verify your email" type systems. They don't work.
Read the Open Gaming License carefully. It talks about derivative works in the definitions, and then says this:
(d)"Open Game Content" means the game mechanic and includes the methods, procedures, processes and routines to the extent such content does not embody the Product Identity and is an enhancement over the prior art and any additional content clearly identified as Open Game Content by the Contributor, and means any work covered by this License, including translations and derivative works under copyright law, but specifically excludes Product Identity.
So it's not entirely clear but one could claim that under these terms, any game played with any DnD book that used OGL material is in fact OGL licensed, kind of like the GPL.
Why would that mess anything up? The whole point, usually, is to throttle people using P2P software like BitTorrent. All your suggestion would do would be to put a big neon arrow over their heads.
Financing is different. As I understand it, this is a rental tied to a contract binding the user to continue to pay for an unrelated service.
In the former case, you own something. In the latter, you do not.

Unfortunately, by the time Stu has run his timebomb, Stu has also had fractions of a cent transferred to a bank account in the Caymans and is now living somewhere in the Bahamas under the pseudonym Leonard Stumonias, Esquire.
Yup, but the wording is a bit murky and it reads as if to say, "We won't approve any charges above this amount without pre-approval." What they did is approve the charges and then keep the money.
Oh, wow. I'd be using another processor right away after that.
Prefaced by saying I think the processor is being really evil in your case, but:
If you charged more than that amount of transactions, wouldn't that put you in breach of the contract? You'd likely then either be triggering automatic provisions for such a case, or be in a legal no-man's land, which probably sways to their benefit as they have your money.

Please cite, since I kinda remember my mom having an epidural to have me just fine.

He'll probably be ok until they change the law in response.
Fixed that for you.
And we don't give a shit about you. :^)

Welcome to the world of business.
As someone who does all this stuff (save maybe the RAID config), screw all y'all.

Well, at least I can take the piss off my parade.
Trying to take things off the internet is like trying to take piss out of a pool.
The sooner companies learn that, the better.

Morality always trumps "what the market demands" for me.
I can't control other people, but I wouldn't run a business like this simply because it seems wrong.
...this to lead to humans battling it out in tournaments controlling huge, hundred ton robots.
I better be able to play as a Nova.

Apple should just pay their developers in spiders.
That might actually be against the Visa terms of service.
