Assuming it's a 2D platformer, I think one of the most elegant solutions would be alter the level layout after repeated failures, or if you're on your last life.
It's what I'd do if I were making a platformer. It's really easy to implement and levels the playing field a bit. Perhaps literally!
The problem is that it has to be integrated, automatic and completely transparent. I haven't used it myself but I assume it's something that needs to be present at both ends.
The people that comprise the majority of email users are completely ignorant of such things. If they're required to understand anything, they'll take the easy way and it'll fail to take off. Which is where we are now.
Encryption has to be the easier way to go. It needs to be the default in popular email clients, Gmail, MSN, etc. Hell if I know how to make that happen though. It's not like privacy advocates have the money to create a marketing campaign to make it 'cool' or anything... And corporations don't rock the boat unless it really helps them a lot, which this wouldn't.
If it were a child pornography site, then yes, I would agree with censorship.
Sorry, agree to censorship of what again? Oh, that's right. You can't see it. You don't even know.
What's the point? No child was ever saved from abuse by an act of censorship. Targeting symptoms does not cure real problems. Like rape among adults, most sexual abuse against children is perpetrated by family members. It can't realistically be fought. It's appalling, but you can't win.
The harsh reality of it wouldn't go down well, so we end up with the politically convenient stupidity you're advocating. While righteous puritans pat each other on the back and politicians advance their careers, the suffering of children will continue unabated by your pathetic efforts. Bravo.
But who cares right? If you can't see it, it doesn't exist.
Can you prove that I didn't kill God yesterday? No.
Can you prove that I am not God? No.
Can you prove that God is not the Invisible Pink Unicorn playing tricks? No.
But it doesn't matter, since the burden of proof rests with the positive claimant, not the skeptic.
Your analogy is backwards. I'm the one saying that no lions have appeared in eight years, so why bother starting to snap our fingers now? I can't be making the post hoc fallacy since I'm not even advocating the presence of any causation, just voicing my doubt of its utility.
And while we're on the subject, does anyone use Num Lock or Pause anymore?
Not Numlock, but 'pause' is used all the time in Windows. Off the top of my head: it pauses most games, pauses the command line, and Winkey+Pause opens the System Properties dialogue.

Just in case you didn't catch it the first time!
Hello? Top Gear is for entertainment not facts. They lied for laughs.
Everyone on planet earth is going to buy the game the day it hits the shelf.
Therefore they don't give a shit.
Yup... My guess is that he died from injuries sustained in inter-salesman combat.
You're asking for the ultimate solution in telecommunications. It doesn't exist yet.
Wrong. The 'Off' button is already invented.
Gun porn, for the record!
I've got a non-resumable multi-gigabyte download at 85% completion here... So thanks.
CPUs for the extremely stupid. The people who buy these aren't 'gamers', their primary interest is in dick-waving forum signatures.
What's the reasoning behind disallowing it? I don't understand.
The platform is closed and Nintendo control the approval process, what's the downside for them?
The password for one of the billing systems at my workplace is literally 'default'.
It comes on pretty much every new netbook.
I was just wondering the same. Is there a liquid body of knowledge in the guy or something? Gonna put a well on his head?

Give it to them in cent coins, you'll get a lovely new mountain range and suffocate them all at the same time.
Not only that, but the DSi has larger screens, although I don't know the pixel count.
The resolution is the same as the original DS. You get bigger pixels but the same count.
The only place where you can measure the rate of iPhone stories in hertz and get an integer.

They're in it for money, not the greater good. Most people don't even know you can, there's a lack of demand.
If you really cared, you'd encrypt it all.
Nice false dichotomy! If you ever get shot, remind me not to give a shit. After all, if you really cared you'd have worn body armour.
Talk about missing the point.
Fortunately this isn't a movie, so this is what's going to happen:
(Absolutely nothing)
Tethering your computer to your phone means that your cellphone could potentially be part of a botnet from your pwned windows computer.
Somehow I don't think they give a shit about that one. Every other ISP sure doesn't.
