I will be in a cinema watching the latest James Bond film while enjoying the lovely service that you get in Gold Class (For those not in Australia is basically you can order food and have waiters bring it to you and has much nicer seats.)

Having been the admin at a school for a few years I can tell you that this already happens. Most schools now, well at least in Australia use a program called HDGuard where the image is reset back to a specified image every time the machine restarts. Its a great system but also very frustrating when you forget to turn it off before making changes to the image. Also if the systems are configured correctly they will have their personal information follow them on their personal network drive. That way things are set up the way that they like them where ever they go on campus.

So far in the Beta I have already played as Zerg and Protoss, its a full multiplayer. When released it will still be a full multiplayer but a single race single player

Not just the country its used around the world. It is used in Australia and New Zealand and possibly other countries as well.

I was IT support for a High School for a number of years and we ended up moving as much away from Blackboard as possible. We ran our own web and email servers etc and things were much more secure than the Blackboard system. Never had a single student gain access to areas that they shouldn't have and everything ran smoothly. I went back last year, 3 years after I had left and they had moved back to Blackboard since no one was qualified enough to maintain the systems themselves and had been breached over 20 times by students. And we are trusting our children's information to that kind of system?

Americans should consider themselves lucky. Here in Australia it takes me over an hour to download the latest Caprica/Hour long show and if I want to get a whole season it takes me a few days. And also I pay $105.95 a month for my connection (Which averages about 1.9-2.2mb) and I only get 120gb of downloads a month. Before you start screaming about caps etc think about what the rest of the world has to go through.

I never had any problems with my fat one until one day the laser dropped and it no longer read disks. I called for repairs but because it was at that point 4 years old I would have to pay for it to be fixed. I instead decided to trade it in and buy a new slim one. Only problem with that is that I couldn't take any of my saves with me as they were all locked from copying.

Skynet saw what happened to it in the movies so changed its name to Google to fly under the radar. Be afraid be very afraid

I think that Birth of the Federation would be a good game to reboot. Start it from the actual birth of the Federation not just the time around TNG/DS9
