The image of Jesus giving two thumbs up was the first thought.
My second thought was "so what". In the worse case scenario the CCF thinks D&D is evil. It maybe sad but it's not a surprising stereotype being applied by both sides.
Rather than going with a Guilty plea, I've been advised in the past to plea No Contest in traffic court since the plea No Contest cannot be used as admission of liability where as a Guilty plea can.
You are correct in saying my face full of concrete was an example of learning a lesson the hard way.
Children can be stubborn and have it in their head how things are "suppose to be" and refuse to listen. This is not an indication of their intelligence. The child can very intelligent but be set in their ways.
So, In the case of a child failing to listen about how a stove can be dangerous. Physical discipline is a better option then them learning the lesson the hard way which can be far more horrifying than a swat on the bottom.
NOTE: I said, though not directly, physical discipline is very effective last resort where the the lesson is imperative
Are you really that threatened by the child that you need to use physical violence to cower them? That's the ONLY kind of real power you view parents as having?
I have no children of my own
I remember my brothers and I building a ramp in the street for our bikes. I also remember them telling me what I needed to do when jumping so I didn't end up with a face full of concrete. I also remember being to stubborn to listen to them.
You could say the face full of concrete made the lesson very clear.
I see physical discipline as an extension of the lesson taught to me that day by the pavement. Not the first resort but a very effective last one where the the lesson is imperative. If you need to spank a child to make it clear that they should not play with a stove then the physical pain caused by the spanking is far less damaging than failure to make the lesson clear.
People play MMOs for many different reasons besides leveling. Lot of players I know in WoW collect the pets.
Heck, I've heard of some players in SWG that competed against one another trying to collect full sets of junk drops (e.g. All the various colors of the junk wire spool ). From what I heard, some of the junk had an extremely low drop rate and were in fact harder to get than the better weapons.
That said, I don't think a tool like this should be illegal. Not any more than a car that can drive at 180 mph should be illegal....
The problem with this analogy is that the car in question can only go 180 mph on a specific road that has a posted speed limit of less.
While I may have an issue with a program in memory being protected by copyright, the following quote from the article removes most of the doubt for me in this case.

Well, it all started when the Earth was just 13 million years of age. One day, while walking with some friends, The Earth accidentally cut the cheese. Well, in it's adolescent awkwardness, The Earth blamed it on an old gypsy woman who happened to be passing by. Big Mistake! The gypsy woman placed a curse upon it's head. Because the Earth smelled it, she decreed the Earth would forevermore BE HE WHO DEALT IT!
Methane Bubbling From Arctic Lakes, Now And At End Of Last Ice Age
ScienceDaily (Oct. 26, 2007) - A team of scientists led by a researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has identified a new likely source of a spike in atmospheric methane coming out of the North during the end of the last ice age.
Methane bubbling from arctic lakes could have been responsible for up to 87 percent of that methane spike, said UAF researcher Katey Walter, lead author of a report printed in the Oct. 26 issue of Science. The findings could help scientists understand how current warming might affect atmospheric levels of methane, a gas that is thought to contribute to climate change.
"It tells us that this isn't just something that is ongoing now. It would have been a positive feedback to climate warming then, as it is today," said Walter. "We estimate that as much as 10 times the amount of methane that is currently in the atmosphere will come out of these lakes as permafrost thaws in the future. The timing of this emission is uncertain, but likely we are talking about a time frame of hundreds to thousands of years, if climate warming continues as projected."
When I was in the Atmosphere Beta, I created a 3D index of sites driven by a database. It could have used a lot more refinement but think of it this way; Replace scrolling up/down & right/left with looking up/down & right/left.
Another concept I worked on was a conference room and white board.
Yet another concept I was thinking about trying never got to work on was a showroom. Audi, at one point, used Viewpoint to allow site visitors to explore one of their models. Now imagine a representative who could enter that session with you, walk around with you and answer your questions.
Neat ideas, but I think the inherent problem is as you say. The majority of the internet still presents information via text and that does not require a third dimension.
If you send me an email, the mailserver at my end *WILL* record the IP address of the server it gets it from (right in the message headers), and unless your email providers server is horribly misconfigured,...
I am curious about why an old story like this was modded up and if a pattern will emerge about who modded it up. $1.14B is a huge incentive to find someone to point a finger at rather than just say "oops, my bad".

By presenting to the court a pleading, written motion, or other paper - whether by signing, filing, submitting, or later advocating it - an attorney or unrepresented party certifies that to the best of the person's knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances:
(1) it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation;
(2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law;
(3) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and
(4) the denials of factual contentions are warranted on the evidence or, if specifically so identified, are reasonably based on belief or a lack of information.
Okay, so what you are saying is that I really need to work on developing a neurosis like dissociative identity disorder with a personality that has a pasta-like visage and a fondness for pirates? Then develop a subculture that will attract others susceptible to similar neurosis?
What do you think God will say at the final judgment to each and every human being who has rejected through unbelief his offer of grace and forgiveness?
Tough break for all those poor sods who died in that 4,000 year interim where he couldn't find an innocent soul. One question though, why did an omnipotent being have to look for one? If he did know exactly what would happen, why look in the first place?
Also, interesting that you would use science to illustrate a position that supports your opinion in a thread regarding creationism.

There is yet an even larger book about everything in the universe. The answers are all in plain sight. Yet when some read it, others turn away from it and bury their minds in a tiny, finite book of Man's disjointed reasoning that takes mental gymnastics to draw a reasonable conclusions from.
