Could such an ubergeek acquire one with 5 less years to work with? I suppose he was counting on some of the potting shed spiders to become radioactive and then bite him so he could get buff like Spiderman. Or with enough radiation he himself might mutate enough to reproduce by budding, ala yeast.
Reverse engineering has a number of implications. It harbors very close to IP infringement because and has staggering economic implications.
There remains considerable differences
To Whom It May Concern: I deeply apologize to all who were upset by my troglodytic 10-year-old brother's book report. Every time he gets out of the crawlspace he wreaks havok.
PS: If I finds out who plagiarized it and harbored it to the Internet, I'll implicate his ass!
"The War In Heaven" is not the first Christian action game. In fact there have been several games that carried overt Christian themes. A Zelda-like game for the Super Nintendo featured a character who threw "fruit of the spirit" at "unbelievers" who, when hit, knelt in prayer. The character could pick up items and acquire new fruit with different properties. While playing I entered a bar and an angel told me "I had no business being in a bar" and removed my "belt of truth". The ancient Commodore 64 had a maze tomb-hunting game where you had to avoid the snakes. If slain you were taken up to heaven on a cloud while the tune to Amazing Grace was played. "The War In Heaven" is a role-playing game; it requires you to play a role in order to enjoy it. People played Ultima IV:The Quest of the Avatar, one of the greatest games of all time, without bitching about having to prove humility, charity, and sacrifice in the game, virtues that Christians advocate. Is playing the role of an avenging angel much different from playing the role of a gun wielding mercenary? In this game, it isn't. So where's the beef? If you don't feel comfortable playing the role of an avenging angel, don't buy the game. It's just a game and in my opinion far from innovative. I don't see much impact from this offering and it's definitely not worth freaking out over.

"The federal government's information systems requirements intersect countless sensitive operations."
If the federal government has done nothing wrong then I'm sure it has nothing to hide.
