Without the poor security we would never have got our hands on these documents. On the other hand if the government(s) were trustworthy there would not need any need for the leaks.
I should know better however I am still disappointed that the answer to this problem is to improve security instead of fixing the real issues.
I say, let nature take it's course, there are more important issue's at hand then to postpone the death (whether or not this is permanent or not) of humans isn't one of them.
We are constantly modifying natures effects on us. Where will you draw the line.
For some of us postponing death is not the objective. Quality is the key driver, not quantity.
So people are unhapy with their lives/jobs and thus susceptible to psychological manipulation. Consumers ripe for the picking. What could possibly be wrong with taking advantage of that and fooling the weak minded into handing over their cash for the promise of "doing what they enjoy"?
They are compelling on the merits of their rule systems alone.
Sure some are. I was referring to the games that are just "click to continue" movies with scenes like: You have found an injured man enter your CC details to hear what he has to say.
Isn't this just the age old argument that is used with gambling?
This does not appear to be a new problem. The techniques vary but the method and desired outcome is the same. There does not appear to be a meaningful distinction between socal games and arcade machines/gambling/alcohol/AAA game franchises.
I don't see the distinction at all. The plot may not be of the same depth however if you are not playing the game for the plot then this is a meaningless distinction.
The issue is you're twisting the meaning of what hjrnunes said. If I am mistaken perhaps you could quote the part of the post where hjrnunes mentions the US or Nazi Germany.
A lot of people seems to get shocked at one symbol, yet a lot less are shocked at two stupid wars that cause real suffering and death and solve nothing.
Did you read this part of the post. The poster is clearly talking about a symbol. Yes, it is a symbol that was used by one of the parties in WWII, but its just a symbol. This is then contrasted with a real war with real people suffering and dieing.
The honerable slashdotter commodore64_love only mentioned that corporations could not force him to war in Iraq. There is no mention anywhere that anyone was forced by any organisation to go to war in Iraq.

Surely there is enough material there to make a series of movies.

Which is still an improvement.

The argument here is that they are unable to make a personal judgment due to the game companies "using sophisticated psychological tricks".

but the experience is worth every penny to you.
Unless you spent those pennies on Dragon Age.

The comparison was between the swastika and the war "the war on Afghanistan/Pakistan and Iraq". Why are you bringing Nazi Germany into the comparison?
Started before.
BTW, your ultimate computer language is missing a closing paren.
Thats why its the ultimate computer language.
You seem to have mistakenly posted in the combat sim story. The wow/simms online story is over there...
Do I have to attend the Course to get the Kit?
You've gone mad.

Spaces not tabs. How can you even pose that question?
And the second.

The ills of science are a little more accepted, but only slightly so.
This is the first time I've heard mention of the ills of science.
"No, you may not look under the hood. Touch the engine with a wrench and we'll sue."
This is irrelevant:
how would a person of reasonable technical ability repair one?
abdicate:
