    The Indie Game Jam is a yearly game design and programming event designed to encourage experimentation and innovation in the game industry...

    Whoop-tee-doo! :P Most of us 12:01am showing folks just got back from Episode II premiers. It's 4am, I saw it in digital with 11 close friends. Concensus reaction:

    OH MY FUCKING GAWD.

    (In a jaw-dropped, wide-eyed, wired-at-3am , good kind of way :)

    The big surprise was that we somehow got the "Director's Cut," which according to the theater manager, was 11 minutes longer than the celluloid version. Which makes sense, since we were dispersing behind the 12:05 showing and right alongside the 12:10 showing, both of which were "non-digital" formal.

    Valley View Cinemark in Ohio RULES!

    Favorite quote was some dude commenting to the media after the movie: "Yoda is like Bruce Lee, Mister Myogi, and Kermit the Frog all rolled into one!!"

    :D :D

    Offtopic it may be, this is why the Slashdot System is so brilliant. You don't post anything that might criticize your humble and goodwilling intentions. And when someone mentions that your articles are crap and only serve your own needs, then it is naturally off-topic, because it wasn't posted under the thread "Slashdot, News for Nerds, Stuff that VAtters".

    Face it. Slashdot is turning into a propaganda tool for VA, which is whole lot of smaller community than "the Nerds" which used to be your community, or atleast I thought so.

    unmodified human stem cells are innovations.

    The European patent office at least requires them to be modified in some way before being patented (also it lets the process of obtaining them be patented).
