If someone's flying toasters are too much for you to handle, then them doodling or passing notes or whatever low-tech way of ignoring the prof would blow your mind just as much.
There may, in fact, at least for some games, be an aspect of the game that fulfills these criteria. In that case, anybody who wants to crack the game will, indeed, have to spend weeks or months doing real software engineering to re-implement whatever it was that you left off the disk and on your server(assuming a copy of that doesn't leak on day two, which would be embarassing) in addition to doing the basic cracking work required to defeat the artificial checks and any SSL style verification of the server the game binary is talking to.
Or, some dickhead will just leak the code, or steal it right off of the servers you're running it on. If you up the game, the response will increase as well.
Except the draw of consoles is A) graphics on big-ass televisions, and B) no hardware upgrade costs. They're consistent across all users, no complications. Why go back to PCs?
If Google is not allowed to have any cache of these sites, then wouldn't that mean they would have nothing to index for their searches?
If you send Google that email, and suddenly don't show up on any of their searches, congrats. On the plus side, no-one has access to your content anymore. On the downside, NO-ONE has any access to your content anymore, because no-one can find you.
The New York Times wouldn't advertise in the Chicago Sun, so why should Yahoo! need to advertise with Google?
Google should not need to advertise for its competitors. A monopoly prevents or impedes their competitors from getting business; if anything, someone else willing to advertise against Google could get more business.

This is new bitching about an old problem.
Someone mod this UP, please?
Now Slashdot's version of "news" is posting the YouTube flavour-of-the-week?
I'm trying to mod you up with my mind.

You seem angry about something. I can't put my finger on it...
And the rest of us find you guys overrated, so it balances out like a big bitchy yin-yang.

MOD UP PARENT That's the whole thing in two sentences, rather than a page of wordspew.
Mod parent informative; since TFA is slashdotted, this is the only way we'd see this.
Less than 3000 respondents to their poll, and it goes on Slashdot as Top Irritating Words?
I look forward to next week's GameFAQS poll being quoted as certified research material.
I was thinking the same thing; this actually bodes far better for common sense than I would have imagined otherwise.
And look how YouTube has grown; people will always complain, but at least with the no-cost open models, they are still using the service.

There is a quiet satisfaction in seeing a distributed network website be slashdotted; you would think they'd be prepared for a lot of connections.
Has everyone on this planet forgotten there were murders and crimes before we had video games?
Agreed. Did he idolize Flash Gordon is his youth?
As I loved Fallout, I took this as very good news... until I read this comment, and realized you're completely right. Damnit.
I really don't want to be traversing the wasteland when I come across BigCokz439,

I laugh, even as I cry.
And when was the last time that YOU carefully read a banner on any of those sites?
No, it's still there. Nice dream, though.
