Or alternatively, why not use an appropriate charging structure, so that it becomes prohibitively expensive for the end user to consume excessive resources? And use the extra revenue earned from those users who are willing to pay for large consumption to increase the capacity.
Hmmm.... so, do you mean that like growing a human ear on a mouse so you have an actual breast growing out of the back or a frog? Or do you mean a whole new market of cosmetic breast augmentation for frogs?
I'm just asking. Either way, I'm sure it would fast become a popular kind of porn for some people.;-)
The files on it probably weren't classified or particularly sensitive
I'd say names coupled with locations and mission briefings were pretty sensitive, wouldn't you?
I don't expect there were any missile launch codes on the player, but still - these pieces of information could have been used for the wrong purpose and could potentially have done harm.
If parents don't pay any attention to the rating label, what makes Joe Baca (that name is ripe for abuse, BTW - think 'Chew') think anyone will pay attention to the warning label?

Where've you been? They've been doing that since the Cold War.
Wouldn't it be better to have a limitless variety of actual applications?

Now that's a good business idea.
Fair point - didn't think of that. How did you guess I'm not an IT professional?
If you turn it off when you install things, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of having it?
Not if you know exactly what you're installing.

...you do realise that The Day of the Triffids was written by John Wyndham, not Isaac Asimov?
George Orwell is likely spinning in his grave.
