***** START RANT *****
I sent letters to my representatives over a month ago. Two never replied, and one of my senators replied with a canned response stating that she is a supported of PIPA and that despite my concerns, she knows what's best for me and the economy, even if that involves compromising the infrastructure of the Internet, negatively impacting security, and infringing on the rights of United States citizens. So, to paraphrase, we need a lobby with lots of money, or we can go p*ss up a rope.

Quake Live Beta Ends, Optional Subscription Plans Added 100

An anonymous reader sends news that the beta tag has come off of id's Quake Live, and they've added two subscription plans to monetize the game. The announcement asserts early and often that the game's current "Standard" play options will remain free-to-play. The lower subscription tier gets extra maps, a new Freeze Tag game mode, and clan creation abilities, among other things, for $2 per month. The higher plan, which is twice as expensive, grants players those benefits plus the capability to create their own private servers.
