    Firefox OS will do fine for much of the world. They will likely add USB ports for a standard keyboard and a larger low power display.

    Unrelated, Kernel sysctl settings to cache a large hosts file? FF RAM caching?

    The Stasi would of loved this anyone can be monitored on a moments notice. Nixon would of loved this Jack Anderson? not so much. W. Mark Felt Watergate's "Deep Throat" and Washington Post reporters would have found it difficult. Reporters everywhere will need a new way to protect their sources. Maybe a website you can upload encrypted documents to...

    Any ideas?

    Your customer pays 5% to be held in escrow. A portion of this money can be claimed by a company in the 5 years following initial sale.

    If the customer is happy they split the money. If the customer isn't they can petition for and fund a class action lawsuit.

    You sound nostalgic when you say these days. It's your money find games that make you happy to buy and play them.

    I use GoG all the time. Installation is 10 - 15mins faster without encryption, games play more smoothly and I don't need a customer service number stashed away.

    These changed addresses do they begin with 10 or 192? Does renewing your routers address actually give you a new *external" address when you ask for it?

      That doesn't typically work in the where i'm at (U.S.) ISPs had problems with users sending spam or denial of service attacks then requesting fresh addresses over and over again.

    Honestly, I replied because about a decade ago looking smart was important. I've found it much easier to ask questions.

    DRM made pre-order a gamble. Everyone wants to activate and play on the same day.

    Wading through reviews to find DRM info after release reduced the chance of a full price buy.

    DRM reduced the value for trade-in.

    All of it made it more likely to try a torrent before you buy.

    The Asus Transformer may be an interesting idea for some businesses.

      I imagine the profit margin would be very small. Maybe HP needs to do what is nearly impossible compete with an entrenched Apple and Amazon here *and* develop a near zero price tablet for for new consumers in developing markets.

      All of this while there is no way to capture a second high mark up revenue stream. iTunes, Shopping, etc.

    Thorium bed reactors are at best a useful stop gap not a replacement for fossil fuels that stopped forming 300 hundred million years ago when microbes learned to digest wood.

    We at some point must settle on solar or geothermal. We should do this prior to polluting arable land in an inevitable chain of profit over prudence "mistakes".

      I don't think most of what everyone does day to day would interest the authorities.

    Hey EA how about dusting off a few older titles removing the DRM and generating a few dollars for shareholders and some consumer goodwill? Your creative people can take a breather and consider some new ideas.
