I've seen teenagers with loads of common sense (myself included), and I've seen adults with none. It has nothing to do with age and everything to do with experience and upbringing.
I don't go to college for the "life experience." I go for the degree. If socialization was the goal, I'd do it without spending thousands of dollars a semester.
EA isn't going to sell games forever. Eventually they stop publishing because it ceases to be profitable.
Go into a store and see if you can find a copy of SimCity 2000. Now look on eBay. As long as product activation continues to be a trend, you will not see today's games on resale markets 10 years from now, no matter how good they are. The only sellers will be those that try to scam the buyer into buying a game they cannot use.
oooo, GL accelerated Web Pages.. sounds good. Its cool to see OpenGL becoming 'open'. Now my hopes are (since the previous has just been fulfilled!) is for openGL to take Direct3D's market share.
It is the purpose of the Federal government to "promote the general welfare."
Who is this "General Welfare," anyway? Was he some sort of Revolutionary War hero who reached demigod status so he was guaranteed a life of luxury and publicity from the government in the Preamble, but history managed to forget him anyway?
It wouldn't matter. Unlike college students, lawyers have both the experience needed and the money to take these cases to court. Given the RIAA's shaky prosecution tactics, I wouldn't be surprised if not only every lawyer being sued in this manner takes the case to court, but a number of them are secretly wishing to be sued just to make an example out of their opponents and get their name out.
I believe strongly in the idea of free speech, and don't much care for censorship or other speech restrictions. That said, on some level I think I can agree with the idea that lawyers are part of our legal justice system, and therefore to be held to a higher standard of conduct than we mere mortals.
South Park has shown irrefutable evidence that long exposure to WoW causes obesity, acne, and the use of internet slang in real life. And we all know that South Park never lies.

Because no one changes, no one has regrets, and everyone approaches schoolwork and their jobs in the same way they approach their personal lives.

The number of times I've read or seen a news report about a 4yo taking napping mommy's keys and takes the family minivan for a spin
Those must be some pretty tall 4-year-olds.

The next one to have the limited Activation stench is Crysis:Warhead.
I wouldn't worry, since no one is going to be able to run the game anyway.

Fixed.

Chuck the "wrong" votes in a ditch. No one will ever know.
On the other hand, the money and culture is concentrated within a few people.
This is true in America as well. That alone doesn't make a country "third world."
A thousand years from now we will be able to transmit our vote directly from our brains.
Expect the response to be something like: "We don't want to trust our precious elections to a bunch of godless communists."
Indeed. I prefer by voting machines to be encased in clear plastic, so I can see all of the hardware inside.
13 pages? And no print version? No wonder no one reads articles on Slashdot.
Seems more like an exploration of this.
Expect a huge amount of write-ins for "Stephen Colbert."
I prefer my political parties to be of the third dimension.
screw McCain-Bush
No thanks.

The following are not within the purview of the federal government:
* healthcare
* investing in science and research
* funding for charter schools
* affirmative action
* education (including sex education)
Not that that has ever stopped the federal government from doing those things anyway.

I had no idea that lawyers were immortal.

I guess the RIAA decided to take a page from the MPAA's playbook on this one.
Too bad NYCL can't comment on the suit.
