when suits make decisions, gamers lose. it's as simple as that. example: ultima online 2. i would say "back to the garage," but it takes a million $ to make a decent commercial-quality game nowadays. perhaps there's hope in the mod scene. i.e. maps, conversions, neverwinter nights campaigns.
French accomplishments in the 20th/21st centuries:
Starting WWI
Bending over for the Nazis
Indochine^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HVietnam
Participating in the destruction of gaming as we know it
Of course no. 4 is less serious than the previous three, but I think we can all conclude that France makes messes that others have to clean up. T2 is just the latest victim.
Tribes 2 is one of the few online multiplayer shooters not yet plagued by lameness (CS anyone?). Fortunately, it's in a playable state after the latest patch. I was looking forward to more patches though...
Does childhood end when computers come into their lives, as Jonathan Lebed's father laments in "Next"?
Childhood doesn't end when you use your Apple II to write a BASIC program that draws cool stuff on the screen. It ends when you pump and dump stocks, regardless of whether you used a computer to do it.
So when my flatulence kills a butterfly which was stabilizing airflow.... etc, etc... that allows people to decrypt DVDs^H^H^H^H"protected content", i can be prosecuted in California courts. Maybe I should hold it until I get home...

Sklyarov should be freed, because if he is not, reading the above (everyone knows what to do, whether it is illegal or not) would be illegal according to the courts and the FBI. That would be both ironic and tragic.
The SIRCAM feature everyone is talking about wasn't included on my Windows 98 CD. Does this mean I have to wait until the next service pack? Please pass this message on to anyone who can assist me with the problem
I thought free software threatened national security and the american way of life.
I would search my quote database for the name of the person who said "Don't throw stones in glass houses," but given that it's the 1000th transaction of the day, I'm experiencing technical difficulties...
Perhaps he should have harassed geeks while being a stud on the varsity football team. These actions in combination never merit a suspension, much less a reason for killing oneself...
Meanwhile, Microsoft's plaintive wail over the future of innovation is just a smoke screen. What Microsoft really wants are new markets to dominate, whether they be overseas or on the Net. And apparently the company sees the GPL as standing in the way. But each attempt to demonize the GPL as the enemy of Microsoft-style capitalism risks making the free-software movement stronger instead.
Welcome to Microsoft's Shared Source Philosophy, where you too can be an "intern" (i.e. our debugging bitch) at Microsoft, but receive neither pay nor college credit for it.
Fools. You MBAs will believe anything that comes from our mouths.
Look at Japan, please. Their culture is filled with violence, sexual imagery, etc. If you don't believe me, watch Anime. What has all this "conditioning" led to in Japan? Low crime rates. Low murder rates. Low rape rates. Not to mention the fact that if you're correct, the U.S. should be overrun with violence (i.e. 10 school mass-murders a day), which it is not.

WTF? You mean you can go on dates with women? Here I am thinking that their primary function is to lower my self-esteem!
will there be whales?

wait... i thought the internet was responsible for the bad things that children. or maybe it was video games... or television. yeah, that's it!

Judicial stupidity like this makes me want to move to Russia, where decryption is legal, unlike some other countries I know...

What is Homebew? Is it a division of Nintendo?
Somewhere a fat penguin is laughing, chasing vultures away. Good job Red Hat.
Will there be a "Kill Jar Jar" format in addition to widescreen and TV?
