"Where was the requirement they notify prime contractor with an opportunity to fix the problem?" Really? Why would they need to? They want a new gun.. .Not a modular modified version of the existing one... Why keep the same contractor? It makes sense to produce a new handgun after 3 decades. They should probably have a weapons refresh program a little shorter then 30 years...

Pardon me while I place my tinfoil hat on... done... If the researcher is able to do this publicly how long have our friends at the 3LO's been doing this with their acres of computers of servers?

In Canada our politicians are busy ensuring the complete erosion of private internet use as we know it. One of our current bills before parliament in Canada is essentially about to give make carriers to do this for the government. Basically they are installing lawful intercept systems for various law enforcement organizations to use. "This enactment requires telecommunications service providers to put in place and maintain certain capabilities that facilitate the lawful interception of information transmitted by telecommunications and to provide basic information about their subscribers to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Commissioner of Competition and any police service constituted under the laws of a province" http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?DocId=4007628&Language=e&Mode=1&File=19 And we are allowing it....

So it's ok for CRIA to screw artists out of their money for years and to settle for less than 0.5% of what the artists were entitled to . But not OK for ISOhunt to provide torrent trackers to people who may legitimately own the title they are attempting to download. It's funny to see how things are handled when the shoe is on the other foot. It's interesting that these same record labels did not try to sue CRIA for their artists which they were so concerned. "At one point the lists had grown to over 300,000 works for which no license had been obtained and no compensation paid by record labels, thus in October of 2008 artists gave up trying to convince record labels to listen to their complaints and turned to the courts for help."

My only question is how much does a publisher have to pay to get their game features/dissected by fox news? The media coverage is priceless and every kid going will now want that game. Intelligent parents will invariably go buy a copy for their 8-12 years olds so they can smack talk me when I got to play online after having put my own children to bed.

Most countries offering 1GB to the home have 4M people in an area the size of Most Small towns in Canada or the States. Most of it is population Density. Not to mention other countries anti monopoly laws or customer protection laws. Some countries have been known to sue Apple or MS or even outright ban GSM locking of cel phones. Some countries believe consumers have rights. Until USA and Canada do the same we will never see "fair pricing" we will see "fair market value" which means whatever they think the market will handle not what the reasonable price for service is

Why not try a few politicians. Then you could have a hot air powered chopper. Which would never fail because it would never run out of hot air perpetual motion
