As long as we're dreaming, someone send them Bill Hicks' suggestion:
Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
I certainly don't hope I'm the only person who finds this incredibly creepy.
The big advantage is that excesses like this are bound to produce a backlash against cameras watching the public.
Just wait until the tabloids figure out that paedophiles can use this to 'watch' kids from the comfort of their homes. It's a PR nightmare waiting to happen.

I like the term. Literally the term 'dark' only refers to 'lack of information', but it has great connotations of doom and gloom that make for great PR.

Sometimes you need a catchy image to get people to take notice.
You're right! Ratting out dissidents to the Chinese government is one thing, censoring screen names out of fear for reprisals isn't pretty, but when they require ActiveX, that's just going too far.

Just spare a thought for the the sweaty cop watching when you get intimate with your right hand/wife/girlfriend/mistress/boyfriend/pet-spider and be sure to wave to the camera once in a while.
Isn't it ironic though that the point of the game is to fight government corruption and promote freedom of expression.
No, it's standard practice in political censorship to attack some side issue and not the political message. For instance, Ulysses was written by an Irishman and criticised British rule over Ireland.
Ulysses was banned for obscenity rather than for it's political content even though the so called obscene content was tame even for the time in which it was written. The same case can be made for the film of A Clockwork Orange, which I believe is still banned in the UK.
Reading that headline, I seriously expected a platform game based on La Nozze di Figaro or Don Giovanni That would actually be fitting, considering 2006 is Mozart year.

Interesting. When I hear "Urge", I think of someone badly needing to use the toilet.

Does it record the origin of the offending articles and report them to the government, or merely deletes othe offending articles?
Ah the age old question of the Google model versus the Yahoo! model. Feels like 1999 all over again.
Have they forgotten how effective BRIBING people can be?
Gates didn't become the richest man in the world by giving money away.
On the other hand, how fair is it to ban a company from an entire industry?

What is this groupthink you speak of? I was going to follow your link, but dad won't let me.
I love the term "ego shooter" instead of "first person shooter". It perfectly captures the attitude of the average FPS enthusiast.

Oh I don't know:
Spiders and Gandalf
And crossing tall mountains
Demons on horseback
And hobbits and halflings
Wandering forests and magical rings
These are a few of my favorite things...
He's only been charged, not yet convicted, until that time calling him a criminal is simply wrong. No matter who he is.

Bad spelling on the internet isn't at all like drugs, but I'd still like to ban it.
I hope you'll remember that speech when they come for you.

thanks for clearing that up.
