How was the parent modded +4 insightful? Did the article say anywhere that this would be used and an involuntary inoculation in the war on drugs? did anyone even hint to this idea anywhere whatsoever? No I think not.
The *only* way I can see this used is as a voluntary rehabilitation option in a government acredited addiction rehab center. It would be presented as ONE option along with a list of other rehabilitation options from which the addict could choose. The subject would probably have to sign one heck of a lengthy release for them to get "the jab".
There is *no* way that this would become mandatory inoculation. The civil rights groups would go to war over such a thing.
The Parent is paranoid and should be marked down for spreading paranoid BS.
Windows XP requires authentication every reinstall. How is this any different? Its not like you install XP *JUST* once. New HD = re-auth HL2, Reinstall XP after bad crash = re-auth HL2, New computer = re-auth HL2, corrupted install from bad mod = re-auth, etc etc.
IMHO they did not think this through. At least Microsoft gives you 30 days to auth, and lets you do it offline over the phone.
On another note, does anyone know what will happen when Steam goes under? How will people ever play this game again? I belive the parent brought up the very valid point of old DivX disks.
(The official word in the Steam formus I belive was, and I quote: "You dont have to worry about that". I belive while he was typing that, he did a Jedi Mind Trick hand wave. Unfortunately that only work on the week-minded.
