Yeah... once it's in memory, it can be ripped and put back together.

Of course, using even simple methods like auth and call backs will stop casual pirates and those who are looking to snag a game will go else where to grab it.

I live in New England. Plenty of trees, clouds, and snow here. Still works out fine. It should work anywhere except maybe far north or washington state which I think gets about 3 days of sun. Also, places with super low energy costs and are not getting raped on delivery charges would probably have a much lower period for it to become useful.

Outside of those conditions, which covers a small percentage of the US, solar as it is now is viable.

WTF are you smoking? Every house in my neighborhood and surrounding ones are solar. The street lights are powered from a solar farm. After a year, it pays itself off. The longest someone had to wait was about 2 years because it was an 8 tenement complex.

I have no idea where you are from so maybe the cost of current energy is super low but for my area the delivery charge is 5x the cost of the energy charge. Going solar is an upfront hit but thats about it. On top of that, my shitty ass city is broke as fuck, can't run anything properly to save it's life, and still built a solar farm and changed all the street lights to leds and it's already saving them money (which we have no idea what it's going into because local gov).

New England, not England. I'm in a dense population center... well, not NY or Boston dense but dense enough. I don't live in a fly over state or an area where my next door neighbor has to be seen with a telescope.

Thats why I added the second paragraph.
