Columbine Video-Games Suit Dismissed

Posted by timothy on from the sense-and-sensibilities dept.

Obvious to those of us who play GTA3 regularly but still manage to overcome the urge to plough over pedestrains on the way to work in the morning, but good to see someone high up showing some sense."

    Take note that the statement was that double integrals were the best way to find said area. It works, but it's hard to argue that it's the best way.
