My point exactly.

I filter the routes I accept from upstream and downstream. I have gone blue with a provider about the fact they were accepting private network advertisements from customers. Needless to say, we're not with that provider anymore. I do monitor odd advertisements from networks we're not directly peered with. Any ISP not monitoring routes is either overworked or slack

SteamPlay has been in existence for a while. Family Access to the "Gamer PC"'s library from a console is the final piece for people to reuse their existing purchases on a SteamBox. Family Access is a newish feature, and I believe it was a final hurdle to allow a large library of games to play on SteamBox on launch day.

(I've even bought Mac Steam games through deals where the PC version isn't discounted. I'm a fan of SteamPlay)

Sometimes, Oh hell yes...

SP are much faster, more efficient and flexible than fixing up the third party's munted Tomcat application.
This bloated rubbish is one of the only applications that fulfils the brief but there is absolutely no stored procedures or views, making it a slobbering mess speed wise.

Of course the business logic is better hidden, which is why I believe they did it that way.

Why not do everything through EoP? Once volume gets up, it'll be just as cheap, and it'll mean less RF interference.

I realise it doesn't work through different phases, some power boards, or surge filters, but it's less susceptible to outside access.

You missed the point... it's not somebody thinking of the kids. It's so school legal can say "won't somebody think of the kids, because we did our best" and deny parents financial recourse.
Once the kids surf porn via 3G it's a pastoral care issue, and responsibility can be shared with the parents or guardians.
"Those" kids also end up usually blowing their data plan which then becomes the financial issue for the carers.
