A better analog is the indie PC game Limbo of the Lost that stole all its backgrounds from numerous other commercial games. And the developers would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids...
In Ultima 7 there's only one NPC who is impossible to kill because otherwise it would destroy the plot - Batlin, the main bad guy. Everyone else, including kids and Lord British himself, is fair game. Despite this, I never found myself once purposely trying to kill NPCs, but I loved having the freedom to if I wanted to.
I remember that, is that the one by Rodney Zaks? I could only borrow it from the local library when I was a kid so I painstakingly copied everything I could from it into a notepad (not being able to afford photocopies either). I had a ZX Spectrum at the time as well, and of course no proper assembler program, which meant manually converting assembler to hex codes. I loved those days (no sarcasm).
Earlier she had told the House she did not even know how file-sharing through peer-to-peer systems worked.
So she votes to make something illegal that she doesn't even understand? I guess that's what happens when laws are rushed through under urgency. One can only assume that this was one of the terms with Warner to keeping The Hobbit in NZ.
So I RTFA and am left wondering why the engineers needed to power down the transmitter just because they were forced to abandon it. I would have presumed it would be controlled by computers and not rely on humans regularly hitting a button LOST-style. Also, I presume the differences in transmission frequency between the two halves of Japan is related to the separate power mains frequencies?
That reminds me of that so-called Google-killer search engine that was launched a year or so ago by some ex-Google people, of which the name escapes me as it was some obscure unpronounceable Irish word. No idea whether it's still online.

So what are the chances that Blizzard will go after them next if Bethesda succeeds?

So Americans don't say "the 4th of July" then? Someone should tell Oliver Stone.

This reminds me of the story on folklore.org: RoundRects
Just be thankful they didn't patent it back in 1981.
Bomb scare!
I'm sure there are dozens of other instances of this happening around the world since the whole geocaching thing started.
God: "Oh damn it, he guessed it again! Cancel the rapture!"

The pirate party may have just become a lot more popular. And it's election year too!

And S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Fallout are banned too.
Why would you want a flamboyant baboon?
You need a truck for that.
But evidently not a Mack truck.
Yeah I've even heard similar accusations against professional wrestling!
Came here to say this. Weird Al could single-handedly advocate Intel to the computer geeks more than Will.I.Am ever will.
Now I can start downloading apps again without fear of being involuntarily opted in to a global competition and publicly identified as the winner.
As long as Doug Naylor isn't involved, I'm looking forward to more episodes.

Someone needs to start a facebook group about boycotting facebook!
Maybe Android users are generally more tech-savvy and remove the EXIF data from their jpegs before uploading them. Or maybe that's just me.
That was the only part that I grokked.
the unofficial name for a phone based on this OS will be the 'cinderblock'.
Don't you mean in 24 minutes?
If this game gets Spored by EA as well, it's not going to be pleasant.
