Salon on Video Games and Free Speech
EyesWideOpen writes: "There is an article at Salon that covers a U.S. District Judge's ruling that computer games don't deserve First Amendment protection. The ruling is in response to The Interactive Digital Software Association's request for the dismissal of an ordinance that requires parental consent before children under 17 can buy or play violent or sexually explicit video games. From the Salon article: 'From his ruling, [US District Judge] Limbaugh appears to believe that no amount of contextual information, or additional narrative, in a game is enough to make it a work of art or expression worthy of the name 'free speech.'' The judge's deliberations were based in part on his review of four games: 'Fear Effect,' 'Doom,' 'Mortal Kombat' and 'Resident Evil'."
Please fix the page widening bug. I am prepared to
sacrifice this account to protest against your "it's
not my fault" attitude. You're happy enough to include
workarounds to fix bugs in Mozilla, why not IE?
See, it was fine so long as only -1 accounts widened
pages. Unfortunately, the behaviour of your co-editor
Michael Simms means we have to browse at -1 to see the
truth, as opposed to what you want us to see.
Just think what would happen if everyone had your
attitude... No workarounds, no interoperability... The
Internet would cease to function. Now grow up or fuck
off.
I am waiting to be modslapped. Those in favour who dare, mod this up as a protest against Hemos' childish behaviour.
Thankyou for your time.

There once was a man from Japan /. posts did not scan
Whose
When people asked why
He would simply reply
Maybe it's because for each posting I suddenly remember the point of what I was trying to say and instead of going back and correcting the post which would involve a lot of editing and retyping and other boring stuff like that I try to fit as many words on the last line as I possibly can.

Gotta Admin, it's an annoying bug. But the real trick is could it be exploited to do something else unintentionally?
Can't say I support the use of vulgarity though. Especially when clever computer-related terms can relay the same fsck'ing informating without using the word fuck. I mean, how many times do people have to use the word fuck, just to prove a fucking point.
i'm anonymous and i don't give a shiite!

Damn and I just used my last mod point - too bad I hadnt seen you first, asshole.
You accuse Hemos of childish behavior and then you have your wonderfully adult page widening crap. It is dickheads like you that make me glad I use a Mac. The bug doesn't exist with the Mac version of IE. Thank god.
yes fuck you!! i've got a problem with you being a tithead christian so go jam a cruxifix up your holy asshole and quit getting all self-righteous about it!!!!
all christians do is indulge in weekly self flagellation and symbolic cannibalism hoping that they'll go to the typical "nice place" (heaven). isn't that so fucking pathetic??? get in touch with your own mortality and realize that when you die you fucking die and rot in your grave!!
go eat a dick, choirboy faggot!!!
I FUCK YOU NOT!!
