I may not speak for everyone, but I'm sure I speak for a fair percentage when I say thank you for proving that a protocol is a protocol, and not some piracy lane. Piracy can happen from HTTP to P2P to Torrent to FTP to Newsgroups to E-Mail, and all of those are at the most basic level peer to peer to begin with. Yes, there are middlemen in the way, but it's still basically one person networking to another through various connections, social, digital, or otherwise. To single out a specific protocol made for information transfer as a lane of information piracy when all protocols are designed for the transfer of information is asinine.
Someone better mod this into Oblivion. Get a grasp of the religion first, moron. Read the literature - ain't jack shit about giving money to attain status nor forgiveness in the Catholic faith.
And I'm not Catholic - just a meek person that believes a higher power is around, we just don't know if it's a living being or a result of a mathematical equation.

When you install Spore, SecuROM makes folders that you can't even delete with Admin-level access (I have yet to try super-root access.)
My admin-level privileges are usurped - this is a ROOTKIT.
Whomever modded this informative needs to have a brain transplant or actually play the game and follow the modifications made to your system during and after install.

"Not to mention... you paid $400+ for a console that will be obsolete in 3 years. I paid twice that, for something more powerful, useful, and in 3 years, I can easily turn it into a server."
Umm, yea. The PS3 allows for separate OS installs, so I can take my PS3 and turn it into a server as well.
Where was your point heading, again? I can also turn that same PS3 into an emulation box for older console games. I can use it for protein folding. I can use it for most anything I want besides developing games within a different OS due to the hypervisor.
Your point just got shot down. Next?

"I'm sure someone will spout off that consoles are "ultimate" in DRM or something similar. It should be noted that so far I haven't encountered any DRM in a console that's restricted my use of the game."
Yea, *GAME* is the key word. The Ps3 allows for other OS installs. It does NOT grant access directly to the video chipset (I could imagine a PS3 console being a very powerful Gen-purpose PC given proper parallel coding methods) so getting hardware acceleration on it is a near-impossibility. In this case, the DRM is meant to protect the system from becoming a typical computer - they need that graphics chipset access to control game development (hey! It's the old lose on hardware profit on software licensing routine again!)

Umm, you're wrong. Look at the PS3. It's meant to have OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS installed on it. It is for all intents and purposes it is a general-purpose computer. It has internet, bluetooth, media server capabilities, networking capabilities with other media servers not made by Sony, etc.
Since emulation on computers got huge, EVERY CONSOLE MAKER has moved to general-purpose computing - down to the point where now it's absolutely vice-versa. Instead of other companies/people emulating other stuff, they're now emulating their older hardware on newer hardware so their older games can be played. It's a complete 180 turn for console makers. They ARE general-purpose computing devices, now.
Need further proof? Folding@Home for the PS3. 'Nuff said.
Directional antennae are not good for a widespread wifi solution. Better to use omnidirectional and then boost the signal and make every Wireless AP part of a mesh network.
Of course, with current wireless tech as it is, the entire little town would have maybe 200 mbps throughput total (assuming wireless N and TCPIP overhead) So you'd need to expand sooner or later with population growth.
I bought Spore, and I'm returning it as defective or suing for misleading advertising - the game is absolutely NOTHING like the multiple years of hype made it out to be. YOU CAN'T EVEN SAVE YOUR IN-GAME PROGRESS AFTER REACHING THE SPACE STAGE, that's why the freaking game never ends! Sure, you keep your created content, but you don't get the chance to restart from where you left off (except in the Civilization stage.)
The vehicle creator, while nice, doesn't do everything as-advertised, and makes you do weird workarounds for attaching some parts that makes absolutely no sense.
Spore wis nothing more than several years of misleading advertising. I'll keep the Creature Creator, since that's enjoyable enough and comes with all the parts. I can model little things all day. But to play through a game where I can't save my progress after reaching the highest level of the game is damned annoying.
This has totally turned me off from any and all EA-related games. I thought it was over the first time when EA acquired Origin, now it's really over.

The remainder is never negligible when dealing with pneumonia.

Vaporizers produce water vapor, not something a person with pneumonia should inhale.
How does giving a person brownies HELP WITH PNEUMONIA? Last I checked THC wasn't something to rid your lungs of fluid.

Tell that to a person suffering from pneumonia. The LAST thing you want to do is give them something to smoke.
