I'm amazed that a decision was made by the american government about a censorship related issue that the majority of slashdot readers would agree with. Although many people would consider many of the arcade games of today to be very violent, there is more explicit violence in movies and tv shows. To Wakko Warner, I would say he should be more worried about what his kids are watching on tv than what they might hypothetically be playing in an arcade. I will say this, however. This could be considered a double standard when compared to pc and console games. Those games have ratings on them and they (supposedly) will not be sold to people who are under the age that is specified. What it comes down to, however, is that children are the responsibility of the parents. The government can provide all the information it wants, but it can't restrict decisions (at least theoretically).
(I apologize if this post seems to be rambling, I havn't slept for quite a while)
Is it just me, or has Sean Bean never been cast as anything but a traitor? Off the top of my head, the only movies I can name with him as a traitor are FOTR and Goldeneye, but I seem to recall others. Even someone who hadn't read the books probably would be able to figure out that Boromir would betray them simply by the casting of Sean Bean.
I am starting to think that the slashdot moderators are morons. Insightful? A stupid joke about piracy? What we need is to be able to pick the posts we metamoderate.
How accurate would you have to be to aim a laser directly at the earth from who knows how many light years away? Personally, if I was an alien, I would stick to radio, or some other non-targeted communication if I was trying to contact any other life in the universe.
I think what the question being asked is in actual game development, is the line between programmer and artist blurring? not in programmer and artist in general. He's just asking whether programmers are doing more art in games now.

Of course, I've never heard of this series, so maybe he only plays villains in more mainstream movies.

um, havn't you seen this article on any other threads? this is just an anti-linux troll
I assume he's not claiming that the sightings where people actually claim to see Nessie and not just ripples are caused by seismic activity.
For once, a mainstream article using the word hacker for its true meaning.
