When you say remote control shutoffs I suspect you mean an acoustic remote control. This wouldn't work at the depth below the surface that this well is, and the BOP has failed so catastrophically anyway that presumably whatever the remote control would trigger wouldn't work any better than the hydrologic lines the ROVs they're trying to use at the moment are hooked into.

You agreed to buying it DRMd at the time. If you didn't like it you shouldn't have bought it.

ferries, channel tunnel, trains, automobiles, nope, just won't do... I have driven from London to Athens in less time than many of these people have been sat in airports wringing their hands... I also suspect that it may be CHEAPER to hire a car and drive back home, than to attempt to live in an airport for a week.

I guess you haven't been reading the stores about the Eurostar and the ferry companies having their busiest days ever. Or the thousand euro taxi rides many are resorting through. Have you considered that people would like to get a train or ferry but they're all booked up?

The ones I've seen in the UK don't actually tell you your speed, they just flash the speed limit at you.

For those unaware, most of the GTA series is already developed in the UK, specifically at the Rockstar North offices in Edinburgh. Of course, as the summary points out, they need some more Britishness in the game to get the tax break (although, frankly, the government would do better to give them a tax break for not setting it in the UK).
