David Miscavige says "With this brutal decision, not only is Wikipedia criminally attacking the world's most ethical people, members of the Scientology religion, but it is preventing Scientologists from presenting our religion in the most positive and truthful light."
With this brutal decision (I woke up this morning and found myself unable to write about how I debated the Dalai Lama to a standstill at the age of 12) not only is Wikipedia criminally attacking (we are so going to sue you non-profit Wikipidea) the world's most ethical people, members of the Scientology religion, (hyperbole is something that happens to other people) but it is preventing Scientologists from presenting our religion in the most positive and truthful light. (I admit we do put propaganda on wikipedia but I really thought that was what it was for I mean look at all the good press that Obama fellow gets on Wikipedia)
I thought that to issue a patent the thing being patented had to be something or at least a new way of doing things. Now if there is already in public use by many different people this way of accomplishing this specific idea then in theory no one should be able to patent it at all as it is now part of the gestalt knowledge of society.
I am afraid that no matter what legislation is in place people will always be looking to place blame on others. Specifically corporations that sell mainly to youth who are considered impressionable.
RPG's like LAW's generally don't actually kill a tank unless its a perfect hit. Both weapons were in general failures in their respective areas they were designed for.
Come on people its because of the fact that Earth is the universe's insane asylum. Obviously the rest of the universe isn't going to let us out that easy. Abductions are just when someones treatment is over.
Have a good day and keep in mind what I say.
Baldur's Gate was not the first real time AD&D game. Anyone here remember the eye of the beholder series. That was quality graphics for the time better even than many turn based games however it just didn't catch on.
The reality of it is that you probably signed something somewhere when agreeing to use their service that they had complete control of the material you posted on their space. Now while I don't think they should do that the ISP generally has the right of way as far as most courts would go. However you the consumer has the power of O' Mighty Dollar and can really stick it to them by organizing boycotts of their service and going to a different ISP. Really this isn't that effective unless you have a genuine complaint many people would share. But, you can always try.

Thank you for correcting my accussation. I appreciate that and hope I was not too harsh in my statements.
