The fact that I'm an asshole not to RTFA before posting a reply does not nullify the fact that I broke the game in such a short time, wich was my main point - bringing a bug to the creators attention was not. Though I can see how the misinterpretation could be made.
I have this annoying nack for discovering game-breaking bugs in a very short time. It took me about 15 seconds to break this one by holding the acceleration key down until the car started passing through solid objects like the bridge columns, a few seconds after that I passed right through the surrounding fences and soon after that I was out of the urban area entirely.
Other examples include Deus Ex 2, during the mission where you have to choose between killing the professor or letting him live and open the case for the wall-penetrating weapon. I jammed the door that's supposed to close after you exit the room with the professor (to keep you from killing him after you get the weapon) open with a crate, and return with the weapon to kill him, only he magically gained 9999 hitpoints as soon as he pushed the button, so I stabbed him in the head for about half-an-hour until he diead, at wich point I completed two opposing missions and broke the game.
I also completed the objectives of the last mission in X: beyond the frontier before I reached them through the story-line and ended up not being able to complete the game once I got there in the intended way.
I'm currently unemployed btw, so if you're looking for a bug-tester in sweden, drop me a line.;)
IANAL either obviously, but that seems like a pretty neat way to sidestep this ruling.
I mean, then you're saying that the actual use of my product in illegal activities is not my fault if someone other than me points out those illegal options.
So, in essence, I'll be responsible in some part for what people use my pillow to do, because I had the idea that it could be used to do something illegal and told people about it.
What if I advertize someone elses pillow in a malicious manner without their immediate consent and that pillow is used to smother the in-law? Who's liable then?
So if I go into business manufacturing and selling pillows, nice goose down pillows, and advertise them as nightly head-placement devices, that's fine. But if I advertise the same pillows as mother-in-law smothering devices, they'll get banned?
I had a similar experience during my first-time visit to Paris, I later realized it must have been due to having played Midtown Madness 3 where one of the locales is the city of Paris, not very accurately modeled mind you, though the roads along the Seine were fairly accurately depicted in the game.
Also, I found myself recognizing my surroundings in Dublin, Ireland. as soon as I saw the "spike" I realized where from: Remember that slashdot article from about a year ago where you could control a set of skylights over Dublin using a 3D-model of the area where the lights were set up?
Well, my point being: I can't recall ever recognizing my surroundings from 2D-maps. It seems 3D representations are easier to learn and remember. And so, there *is* a point to what google is doing.
The words "which statistically is likely implausible." alone caused a reasoning-loop. Good thing I got rattled back to reality by "intergalactic fleet of killer robot ships".
"It would be like clearing a sidewalk full of spectators with a fire hose so you can walk through it," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Nyhus.
More like breaking into a bank vault to store the bicycle you just stole.

My girlfriend fed me negative information for years. Then she broke up with me because I couldn't remember her name! What a bitch!

Seems like a convenient way to get that I'm-too-rich-for-the-public-library mansion-library started for the rich and famous.

In soviet Russia... ah, nevermind.
"Ossur" means "fart" in turkish. "Fart" means "velocity" in swedish. I think I've made my case as to how this was named.

Will we be able to pay eachother for sex and then murder oneandother to get our money back?
I not understand your subject line.

Was I the only one who followed the link just to find out which fonts would be considered "strange" fonts by (what I assume is) a slashdot regular?
getting a FP with this bug throwing people off.
So... If I paint a pornographic picture on my 17yo girlfriends belly, that's childporn?

I guess I won't be renewing my sattelite TV subscribtion.
As I understand it WMD:s are only a threat if the dictator doesn't admit to having them!
