That's the future. The disabled are just the initial testers. Once perfected, I'll be first in line to implant whatever into my skull so I can I/O directly to my brain. That is the future.

I think they can work if you have the disc space. Most games install all data, so the only reason for the virtual cd is the cd-check.
It makes somewhat more sense for multiplayer-oriented games as the master server is checking your key. At least the MMORPGs aren't stupid enough to require it.
To me, the greatest advance in software would be the publisher actually trusting the consumer, and not requiring a cd-check. It was finally removed from quake 3 for the single-player mode. Another example of craziness due to artificial scarcity.
You'll apparently never get pop/imap on a free service. Isn't email important enough to pay for? Anybody recommend a good IMAP/sub-domaining webmail service? If google had a pay option, I'd jump on that just knowing their stability.
Oh, netaddress sucks by the way.
Anybody can see that this is all coming together someday. What is needed is a way to change the circuitry to approach whatever n-bit problem you need solved. Graphics is around 80h bit. Sound might be sixteen bit.
The future should be more elegant and flexible. Drop your precision and instantly gain speed. We'll wonder why we dealt with graphics drivers and other such complications.
Ok, so the hexadecimalists are at war with the decimal-lovers (who are currently in power). So what do they do now? Are there materials that resist the wavelengths used in these lasers? A laser should give away your position rapidly, which could be transmitted for immediate retaliation. It should be exciting to see what the response will be. Nothing quite as interesting as a good weapons technology race.
Well you can't launch model rockets now without a permit because of "national security". You can't use a computer because of "intellectual property". From libertarian we come, to libertarian we'll come back! Soon we'll listen to the latest audio files on our computer while tinkering with the latest thing that makes a big boom.
Where are you pulling this from? Explain the many repeat attempters, who only regret not doing it right the first time. People will be all over the place. Some may lie and express regret so they can get out to try again.
This is a right far more important than even "information wants to be free", or even freedom from slavery.
If you consider yourself a libertarian, this is perhaps the most important right--to determine the time of your own death. By the way, if you're saying this suicide inconvenienced your rugby team, that's extremely shallow.
This is just playing into the artificial-scarcity crowd. What side are you on? How does one pay for information that can be copied for free? Information wants to be free.
Transhumanism should come first. At first it's perhaps the brain and spinal cord hooked up to wires. Then we'll start replacing parts of the brain (we've already built an artificial hippocampus). At some point we'll know just what makes consciousness, and will have a machine do that as well. The end person would be just as sentient as a human (or dog, or chimp).
After that, you can drop youself in a neutron star shell and explore the sun for all you want.
This should be discussed with features. Does it require the CD? Can you at take it out after the check (full HD install)? If the next one drops the CD-check, I'd be much more likely to buy.
I think at Kinko's (office services chain), you can just pay cash and get online. Some libraries are like that as well. An option (even if it's pay) for totally anonymous internet is important if one values privacy.

From vertebrates on, there is a thalamus surrounding a ventricle. Electrical activity across the conductive ventricle hosts consciousness.
I'm guessing it's the same mods who mod up something pro-IP for example. Bring out a poll, and the vast majority here are not religious.

Couldn't it just be out of phase like those noise-cancelling headphones?
I've been thinking about a commune of eunuchs. If you're serious about cutting away from the silly mainstream--go all the way.

It's this mentality that leads to patents. Someone else would have discovered these ideas if this nice man hadn't.

I want an tattoo like that electronic ink that can be modified. Black and white is fine. A low latency would be nice to display movies.

I searched for it--it really hasn't been posted yet!

That's a decent speed to do the whole data transfer this way. No mathematical encryption at all.
It would be great to have a language free of decimal.
A virtual CDs should solve both problems. Never used one myself--proabably "illegal" or something.

Patented==worse. That is always the case.
