e-Cigs are not for quitting

This is a common misconception with e-Cigs. They are not, and have never been a device to help quit smoking.

In order to be a quit smoking device, they would need to be classed as a medicine, which they are not. Simply put, they are an alternative to smoking lit tobacco.

I've been using ecigs exclusively for approx. 2 years now. I am however, still a smoker in every sense aside from the part that involves tobacco (and the lungs)

The problem being faced currently by ecigs goes beyond that of government & tax. There's also the fact that big pharma is getting more than a little upset by people choosing to switch to e-cigs and forgo the traditional NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) approach.

Then there's the lack of understanding in the wider sphere as to what vaping actually is...

CV

Many moons ago, when running my own small PC repair firm, I had a CV sent to me in the mail.

Among the bullet points, the author proudly proclaimed

'IT illiterate'

I had to give him a call and explain that no, I couldn't offer him a job, and that he might want to proof read his CV before sending it out to anyone else.

Piracy?

So what safeguards are in place to stop someone buying the flash drive with the DLC on, copying it, and letting someone else use it?

Seeing as this is targeted towards those with no internet connection, the 360 will obviously not phone home to authenticate.

This isn't new

Win98...

The website seems to still support Windows 98 & NT4.

I wouldn't mind a job looking after their web servers. Doesn't seem to be much to do....
