I was hoping for an interesting performance analysis, instead I get yet another manifestation of paranoid american security obsession. How boring.
This is really just interesting for IT managers at large corporations. I don't use anti virus software and I only got hit by two viruses on the Amiga, and one worm on WinXP before I started using the built-in firewall (that thing is a resource hog on pre-y2k computers!).
I have no problems with being a beta tester if it means getting the game many weeks earlier. At least for a game as great as Oblivion! Besides, for the PC version there's already a fix made by a fan (linked). Link: http://tessource.net/files/file.php?id=10278
It's a shame that they made sequels to Starship Troopers, that movie had a great element of surprise which is of course lost in the sequels. When I watched the first one I was just expecting a pretty standard sci-fi action to pass my time with, but instead I was presented with a fascinating crossover between Nazi propaganda movies and American teenager soap operas. And a chilling glimpse of a possible future, or perhaps reality in Russia already, were media is strictly controlled by the government (or Rupert Murdoch-clones).
