Except that's vaporware...

Darkcoin?

Not really, you only use games that use steam DRM. If your game is DRM free just back it up, delete steam, double click the binary and watch it launch. Steam itself is just a distribution service not a DRM. Sorry I might be a bit off topic but I'm just really annoyed at the "ZOMG steam is DRM!" crowd at the moment. Steam makes DRM available blame the publishers for using it not steam. No where is a DRM mandate.

Oh man great idea, I'm going to submit this a slashdot article about the boycott for more coverage!

C'mon it's not that big of deal, no need to call her down to the basement at this hour.

No.

Again, how is this modded 2?! You do get a real person who does have the power to do anything, I once mistakenly downloaded a game for the wrong platform, I asked for a refund and a blacklist of my key. They couldn't blacklist my key but I got a refund anyway. If I've ever gotten a defective product, which happened ONCE, they paid return shipping. Buy a kindle book and don't like it? Refund. Buy an audible book and don't like it? Refund. I honestly think amazon does have the best customer service out there today. Also could you please name even one large corporation out there where you get to talk with a charming, professional, customer service agent? Extra points if you can name one where you can talk to such a person right off the bat without having to jump through a bunch of computerized menu hoops. I very much doubt you can name one, except for y'know amazon.

Also paying for return shipping? Come on now how is this not great customer service.

How is this modded up to 2?! I know it's anecdotal but I've never had a broken package and I can always get someone on online chat if I need. Amazon has the best customer service I've ever experienced. It's not really too visible but you find help on the bottom of the page then click Problem With an Order? then contact us on the left side. From here you can send an email, get a call, or chat with customer service.

I'm in the process of making a coin! I named it HLC or HighlanderCoin, it's halves every 500000 and has an initial block value of 0.000001 HLC. Best part is, there can be only 1!

If there is a doomsday scenario, this is kind of akin to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault

I was in the process of writing a post about how physical protection means nothing and how the data would would have to be online to be useful anyway when it hit me. Backups. IMO this doesn't make sense as a "keep people out of my data" thing as much as a "I can't lose my data no matter what" thing.

Call me back when it's over 9000 GHz.

man, too bad it's pronounce guh-new otherwise it'd be nub fap.
