But how long before a longer range detection system is invented that can be built into drones and track personal movements so that a direct targeted missile can be used to crack someones head open at the press of a button. This will go down well in certain parts of the world a whole new business will open up forging chips and replacing them it will make car registration theft look like a poor relation. Or we have the Chinese hackers steal birth records of US 1st Infantry division, wars by proxy indeed no risk here - move along...

It is a massive hit because it is a great show with an even better story and the options to watch it while paying for it are poor at best! This is a ridiculously large market that is being totally ignored by the army in suits who cling to what they believe to be the reality of their current income. STEAM - start selling this and the rest of you wake up! I will buy and millions like me will also, do not make a company with minimal rights to distribute a partial list of shows nobody wants that or cares. Take multiple large established download clients and use them ALL with no exclusivity and you win, remember "When you play the game of thrones, either you win or you die". Just saying.

Yes even ICQ, I still contact many people via ICQ, ok I am using Trillian but some people do not want to change their chat clients.

People are pissed at being lied to about download speeds and do not trust what they are being told, worse the areas targeted for the "superfast" already have fast cheap internet connectivity, if you read the article it states this and the summary does not match it. Ignoring the flagrant abuse of journalism which is the norm these days both in RL and /. this means only people with money to burn will take it, they exist but in a world economic downturn guess what - there are not so many.

When you start steam it provides you this message in the main popup box where they normally try to sell you preorder crap.

He could introduce himself as Professor Doblisnski from the Kiev University where he teaches advanced Nuclear Weapons programmes. Happily explain that your Mac contained an unfortunate amount of technical details on how to make and deploy a warhead using only kitchen supplies but was stolen by a Mulslim looking guy who has this IP address as tracked by your embassy security services. You could follow on with, my Embassy told me not to come here and inform you but as a human being I thought you should at least be warned, sorry cant stay on the phone I am leaving the area as all non essential embassy staff have been evacuated etc...

Ok you might not get the Macbook back but it will be the last one that particular guy steals and I am just guessing, but that IP law might not apply :)

It is a funny thing with steam, but I never understood why they did not start selling music and films this would have had such a dramatic impact on their income and customers, they already have a large customer base it is almost madness that they never moved this direction as it would have changed everything. Right now unless the game is very special, if it is not on steam I do not buy it. This is not because I like steam but I just do not want the hassle of dozens of dvd's or multiple nonsense programs all doing the same thing and competing for resources and my time. The winner in this "game" will be the tool that finds a way to integrate all these download tools into one easy to use interface that does not require a dozen usernames and passwords. This unfortunately would require the cooperation of most of these thieves and that is unlikely to happen before the sun goes cold.

Plinkett covered this in detail via http://redlettermedia.com/plinkett/ His reviews were easily the best thing about episode 1-3, GL is a great business man and nobody will take that away from him but he is the Microsoft of the film world.

Thanks Cwix (someone mark him informative), that explains it and displays my clear lack of knowledge on the subject, though I still think the pope should be told as they made this whole religion thing it might matter that they get some of the facts right.

Dam, so Jesus was a Chiropractor? someone should tell the pope.
