But isn't that where deb and RPM files come into play. True it doesn't have the same customization that the average/. user likes, but it will work for most average users.
I was waiting for someone to say this. The stereotype that male MMO players don't females in their lives is becoming more and more incorrect. A lot of my friends that are married play online RPGs. In fact, some of them will play together. One couple in particular share guild leadership in both WoW and Guild Wars.
I believe that as these games become more mainstream, the substitution problem will become overwhelming for these admins.
(btw, if you were just trying to be funny then I'm sorry)
I tend to play female characters in the RPGs because it is my perception that the programmers put special twists in to try and get more of the female market. I don't know if I'm just deluded or not, but it seems to be true.
At any rate, what is to stop me, or anyone with a girlfriend or wife, from a quick substitution for the webcam. My wife would think this rule is ridiculous and do it in a heartbeat.
More to the point though, I have to agree with the Parent here... Its a FREAKING RPG. Let people Role Play in the Game as they see fit.
They just got themselves an airstrip that will cost them 1.3 million dollars a year just so they would not have to deal with airport traffic and your worried about a measly $30,000,000 for a contest that stands a good chance of not being won by the deadline?
This is a great example and I have another. My wife has just recently finished a degree in International Affairs with a focus on Terrorism studies. She also did her dissertation on the websites that terrorist organizations use to promote their ideals. If this level of censorship was implemented at her school, she never would have been able to do this paper and her education would have been hampered.
Seriously, has this guy never heard the old adage: "Know your enemy so you may face them."?!?

I have to refer back to an earlier post of mine. I'm telling you, nature sucks.
Its the only way to be sure.
Thompson apparently feels embiggened to invoke Florida's public nuisance law against any video game he desires to target.

But puppies don't have a "gargantuan address space" or end-to-end security. Trust me, puppies leak all the time.

They seem to hemorrhage money sometimes.

This is why I support an independent media specification organization.
Do the research, find the best format, make the specs public and everyone profits.
Thats my two cents
