It's you idiots that are destroying the game market, not Gamestop. There is no such thing as "day-one DLC". What you are describing is a game that was made purposefully incomplete in order to prevent consumers from excercising *their* rights of resale.

The real problem is that your licensing shenanigans aren't apparent on store shelves filled with what *used* to be a well-understood product. It's not until the unwary customer gets their purchase home do they realize they've been fucked. I've been gaming for 30+ years and have decided to directly support the indie publishers who aren't willing for fuck over their customers in order to tap into a revenue stream that they feel entitled to.

Just to put your mind at ease, Christwire is satire. As a level-10 atheist, I have advanced bullshit detection abilities far beyond the ken of normals.

Also, I don't hate anyone for what they believe, and I hope you have a nice day. Possibly because I was raised Episcopalian, and think "love your enemy" is a fine idea.

The reason that your code, podcasts, and online videos are hosted in special purpose web applications is that they understand the format and purpose of your data. This will always allow them to be more featureful, as they are full fledged applications. You are comparing them to a file transfer protocol, which is disingenuous.

Rsync is optimised for replicating frequently changing collections of small files, and is widely used for that purpose, and it peer to peer. You seem to be arguing that there is little legal need for sharing large binary files. You must not edit video collaboratively, or develop and distribute indie games, or train neural nets, or share language corpora, or any number of other possible legal uses. The fact that it is widely used to share cultural ephemera is more a testament to advertising and poor education than a problem with a protocol.

World of Warcraft uses the bittorrent protocol to update their clients. That's far more than a "proof of concept". As an added bonus, bandwidth costs are pushed to their users.

Clearly, the best way to discuss falsification in science is to cast it as a discussion between a cannibalistic dictator and a strawman.

ASUS RT-N16 + TomatoUSB + Optware + DLNA + external 1TB drive = PC-free movie streaming to 7+ devices in my home. Highly recommended.

Do you mean those non-serviceable mustard gas shells? If that's all that they found, then it's particularly clear that Iraq DID destroy their stockpiles. Finding a few shells only indicates that their compliance was not perfect. I will sleep so much better (and poorer) now that our intelligence agencies have removed their old foil against Iran.

Wow. Paranoid more than just a little? It couldn't possibly be that there are people who honestly disagree with you could it?

It could be. In fact, it's likely. However, do not doubt the propaganda efforts of the government. The DoD and many other organizations absolutely employ astroturf bloggers. Their posts are often as sincere as yours, but rarely as condescending.

What does your car run on, rainbows?
