What made me upset about the whole thing is that it silently runs in the background at all times... if it did it only while Kazaa was running it would be a more acceptable form of advertising. Regardless it isn't fair to modify people's content without their knowledge/permisison.
Well as cool and usefull as this is it is not the death of stealth technology in it's current form. Using a signal that you don't controll adds a step to identifying a target. For example someone detects what apears to be a stealth aircraft on a bombing run over beijing, The detected change could be the result of some malfunction at the source of the signal that is being tracked. The operator would have to call to see that there is no problem with the tranmission itself, then report the target to someone who can visually confirm the target before any counter attack could be launched. This is a very exploitable weakness... The agressor could limit attacks to coastal areas where he can drop whaterver bombs he needs to and hightail it out of there.
Rescently my acct. disapeared and nhaving had it for a while I'm a little upset. I still might not have qualified for Meta-Moderation but what if I had? food for thought.
If they use Athlon for the CPU imagine the emulators running on a multiprocessor platform with Gigs of Ram and good video quality... you could avoid buying the console altogether
