I forgot to mention something that helps support my case: you can't put the car in reverse without putting your foot on the brake. So, it goes to reason that you can't mix up the pedals when you have your foot already on the brake.
I'm afraid your wrong. I guarantee you this is not a case of driver error, because I've seen the evidence, and I know someone this affected. My dad (who taught auto mechanics for 30 years) has had this happen to him twice now with his new '09 Toyota Tacoma. Both times he was backing out of the garage, and the truck suddenly lunged backwards, tires spinning away. Thankfully he was calm and collected enough to hit the brake and shift the car into neutral while the engine decided to its thing. If this just happened once, I might be inclined to think that it was driver error, but having the exact same thing happen twice pretty much rules that out in my head. On another note, my mom, who's never been the cause of an accident, recently ran into the side of a building with her '06 Toyota Avalon when it suddenly lunged forward while she was parking. Now, my mom's incident I'm not so sure if it was driver error or not, but it's suspicious all the same. In any case, there's nobody I'd rather have drive a vehicle I'm in than my dad, and I can assure you that this is much more than people being 'ignorant drivers'.
It really isn't that far fetched to think that there could be a bug in the software that drives the throttle. It could be something as simple as a division by zero. Obviously, something in the code is getting the wrong data that the coders didn't take into consideration.
1. How the heck would you enforce this? If there's an open relay in Sri Lanka, how could the US possibly "tax" it?
2. There's another system in place that has this "tax" you speak of, and it's called the USPS. I don't know about you, but I sure do get a lot of snail mail spam.
In the end, taxing e-mail is nearly impossible because the internet is a GLOBAL system.
Actually being able to see what's happening in your quarter of the screen in 4-player mode isn't a fundamental enhancement? IMHO, I love the idea of being able to clearly make out what the hell I'm shooting at. I guess some of you crazy types just love your 360x240 screens!
My guess is that they will already have a list of all the keys they'll ever have on the discs already. So, for instance lets say the keys are 256-bit. That's 32 bytes per key. Now if you have a 16MB file with all the keys in it, that comes out to 524,288 keys, which I think should cover all the different devices until the next generation of media comes out.
If a key is revoked, the list for new DVD's gets shortened to 524,287, and so on.
how long until there are comercials in the middle of movies?
How about now. Product placements in movies have been on the rise over the past few years. If you've been to see National Treasure, then you know what I'm talking about. Good lord that had a lot of placement in it.
If you want to see one of the best documentaries I've seen about advertising, check this out. It includes the latest methods advertisers are conjuring up to get around the public's methods of blocking advertising in television (i.e. Tivo) and movies.
Moore's law says that the speed of processors should double every 18 months.
Moore's law actually says the number of transistors will double every 18 months. This doesn't necessarily mean that the speed will double. I don't think the speed of the transistor has too much to do with Moore's law, unless the speed of the transistors has some connection to the number of them on a chip.

Don't forget the greatest invention of WWII!
