I for one would love to see the publisher cut out of the end price. New releases are sucking up $50 of my paycheck every time and it can only get worse.
That said, Valve really needs to beef up its infrastructure before I'll join the service. I played CS on it and had nothing but problems with the service.
What VeriSign was originally supposed to do was manage the.com,.net &.org domain extensions. In and of itself, that isn't a monopoly service, all they had to do was make sure registrars didn't double-dip on domain addresses and things like that. It wasn't until VeriSign bought Network Solutions, however, that a conflict of interest came up. *Then* VeriSign became both the manager of the gTLDs and it's own customer.
You've got it backwards, the two-legged adaptation allowed apes to see over tall grass and such, which gave them an advantage when hunting or being hunted.

IBM has enough patents to make Microsoft's look like a paltry contribution. They had more than 37,000 back in 2002 and expect around 3,000 a year.
