Because this isn't a list of "best game engines" this is a list of "best games" with stupid descriptions like "oohh look how pretty the gfx are". Any article on best game engines would mention the API, dependencies, how easy it is to work with, etc. This article is just marketing bullshit.
Somehow I don't think Orwell would be troubled by jailing two people hosting a "kill the niggers" website (or whatever it was) then trying to run away to the US claiming "free speech" like rats once they were sentenced in the UK.
In fact I think Orwell a man who fought nazis in the war would be more troubled by assholes like you defending these scumbags. Oh and they come from Yorkshire, the racist county in England, what a surprise!
You're missing the $2500 part. Say each movie you download is about $10 you would have to download 250 movies in 180 days and the authority have proof of that before the jail time could even apply.
What you say is nonsense because you still have to network between players. What do you think this is, one humongous server where 1000s of players connect to and all the games are run off it? No. It will be servers located all over the US which have to network between each other. Also you're forgetting the fact that something like a WoW game would be running separate from the rendering servers.
The input would also cause more latency then updating player positions because a player position update happens once every X ms however if I continuously keep rapid fire pressing buttons it's going to generate far more packets of data. Even xbox controllers have mods which make controller presses extremely fast without user intervention.
It doesn't even benefit game companies because it basically hands all the control over to the console manufacturer that can pull your game at any moment forbidding your consumers from being able to play it.
I didn't always, but I have always been passionate about learning.
You're diverting my point. The Parent said "being passionate about gaming is definitely a plus in making great games".
You can't make a game without knowledge. You CAN make a game (and a good game too) without passion, and I'm sure there are a whole lot of game coding slaves out there that will agree with me.
In fact anyone who has worked on a game will tell you that it's 99% back breaking work. Sure you can say passion will help you keep it together but like I said before, that's why the industry uses it all the time to dupe people into burning out for almost no financial incentive.
As such, being passionate about gaming is definitely a plus in making great games.
No it isn't. Passion is no substitute for knowledge. The only thing "passion" is used for in the games industry is duping idiots like the submitter into working overtime without compensation and other stupid things which other industries don't have to put up with.
Sounds like a good idea, rather then fish Tuna to extinction they're solving the problem by make better Tuna.
Now all we have to have to a bigass debate on slashdot about how this is going to make DRM zombie tunas while ignorantly forgetting the fact that "Natural" tuna have had their genes altered through hundreds of years of breading.. Basically like every other time DNA altering comes up in a story..
I don't see the difference between him and someone robbing a house. Since I don't see you campaigning for the latter I think it's pretty obvious that he should be in jail. Just because he's a rich white collar worker doesn't mean he should get special treatment.
My secretary prints out all messages addressed to taocp@cs.stanford.edu or knuth-bug@cs.stanford.edu, so that I can reply with written comments when I have a chance.

yes, exactly. Why look for a solution when you can add your deep freeze and VM hacks on top of your broken platform..
but Novell is on there
I stopped at "Nabster".

because that's the way it's always been. It's the exact same reasons we're forever going to be on IPv4.
Since we can assume you would be the closest in proximity to the replicator you'd be the first to die.

Just like the PC has wii support so you could, as a dev, make a game that uses a wiimote on the pc.

yeah, I mean now their drone are going to have less drag too!! If it wasn't for this damn professor then only the US drones would fly with less drag!

Did you even read the parent you're responding to? You just echoed his argument! What an idiot...
Just like supernova before em. Well that's the end of that..
Prison is a punishment, not a holding area for the violent.
No, he should be punished for the crimes he commited. Not slapped him an impossible to pay back fine and all the freedom he wants.
I don't see the difference between him and someone robbing a house. Since I don't see you campaigning for the latter I think it's pretty obvious that he should be in jail. Just because he's a rich white collar worker doesn't mean he should get special treatment.
and what would you do with this information? How does knowing or not knowing effect you in the slightest way?
oh "clueless"! I was having difficulty figuring out what the guy meant.
I wouldn't bother, then they get a free pass to blame you for everything wrong with the computer.
But there are no software patent in europe so wtf...
He does use email.
