To quote a speaker I saw on this topic; "The Internet is for (.)corn"

There's casual and there's casual. If you want an arcade racer, sure your money is well wasted elsewhere. However if you want to have a more simulation-like experience on specific known tracks with cool cars, but are a casual gamer in the sense that you don't want to invest a few working weeks to unlock those, the original comment stands. I kind of have the same gripe with local multiplayer games (like on the wii) that make you unlock the multiplayer fun in singleplayer. Don't know how GT works in this sense (never played it), but if it does, that sucks for those kind of casual players. Sometimes there are unlock codes, but not always.

I have just calculated a digit that's much further. It's 7, and it's somewhere around the 8 trillionth decimal. Give or take a few.

that's not really a "growth" business plan.

Oh right, no /. yet.

Once the manufacturers get into the action and build devices that send all their logs to the appropriate agency. Then those will be mandated for everyone who can't keep their logs themselves. And the rest will be red-flagged.
