Professional Starcraft players are able to perform 300+ actions per minute with a mouse and keyboard. For the average user, I think this would be plenty.

Point of order: the Professional Starcraft Player(TM) is not the average user, the skills of the Professional Starcraft Player(TM) are not representative of those possessed by the average user, and the command input structure of Starcraft is not representative of all computer programs.

We are not discussing professionals in specialised programs here - this is average users, in generic apps, and attempting to make the GUI more intuitive and powerful.

You appear to have missed the fact that this is not something that's installed on the web page - in fact, there's no connection between SideWiki and the page, apart from the URL.

Say I run a commercial site that gets libelous/spam/shock site/racist comments (that have been put there by spambots, people with vendettas, b-tards, whatever) that drive away the customers that use SideWiki. Then what?

What will they do with people outside the US where the DMCA does not apply?

Get the US government to invade them?

Or offer them a Free Trade Agreement. Bloody John Howard. Caterpillar-browed bastard.

Also, I want to know whether the times in TFA include downloading the software or not. My Ubuntu upgrades take a couple of hours, including downloading the software, over a connection that's not incredibly fast.

Their metrics should include the time required to find a torrent of the disc, download it, and burn it as well.
