I bet that's not why they want DPI.  All that talk about extracting  
`communications data' (ie so-and-so communicated with so-and-so) from  
Second Life et al pretty much mandates DPI.

In passing, whatever happened to Second Life?  A few years ago every  
newspaper couldn't shut up about it, and there was talk about  
advertising campaigns and embassies.  Now it appears to be like CB  
radio.
