That would be more like how putting a bullet through someone's radiator when they don't use their turn signals is "punishing people for not being competent drivers".
Sure it's a nice thought, but it's really not the right way to go.
Games are submitted to the ESRB with the understanding of confidentiality. All that the ESRB releases is a final rating, they don't leak the whole content of the game.
Doing anything different would be like the MPAA releasing movie ratings of "This film is rated PG for sci-fi action violence, with some mature content like that scene near the end where Darth Vader reveals that he is Luke's father" or "Rated PG-13 for intense thematic material, violent images and Malcolm Crowe really being dead all along but not realizing it".
If Dr. Linn or Senator Yee want to know what changes have been made to Manhunt 2 then they should be asking Rockstar about it. You know, the people who wrote it, made changes to it, and are in a position to release that kind of information. Hounding the ESRB for details is like calling someone's family doctor to demand details about their health.
If you want to manage then you'll have to forget everything you know about the technical side of your former job. You don't have time for it now, and there are people who do that for you.
Get used to meetings. That's your life now. You'll have meetings inside of other meetings. You'll be in two meetings at once in two different rooms. I wouldn't make this up, you know.
Remember those times when you were on call and had to work the occasional weekend? You still do that, only it's all the time now. Any time anything happens, you don't actually get to do it, but you have to know what it is. Remember how you used to work for someone else who set priorities for you? Still happens, only your new boss has a more expensive suit. You will have all the responsibility of your old position, only without any of the ability to do stuff yourself.
Your honour, I cite the precidents set in RUBBER v GLUE and POT v KETTLE, and request that the poster be beaten about the head and shoulders with a large, freshwater fish.
Just remember that a man who was the senior vice president for external affairs of the MPAA has probably heard all of your questions before and has a prepared response for each of them. Be prepared to have your questions dismissed without any kind of real answer and quite possibly twisted around into something completely different. Read old interviews with him, watch videos. Try to get an idea of what to expect.
If a professional weasel with his background and in his position lets himself get blind-sided by a couple of University students with an obvious axe to grind then, first off, something is very wrong with the world.
And secondly, if you think that's what really happened, count your fingers. And your toes. And review exactly what was said by whom, and ask yourself if you have any way of proving it.
In that case you can explain how fair use promotes teamwork.
You know, a man stands alone at the plate.
This is the time for what?
For individual achievement.
There he stands alone.
But in the field, what?
Part of a team. Teamwork.

They just use the magic words "Oh, I'm sure IT will take care of that for us".
Habbo succeeded because the kids liked him much more than Hrusty the Clown.

Of course it was a bad employee. Good employees don't get caught.
Does it involve clicking 'OK' and 'I ACCEPT' a lot? Because if so, then I sure have.
But if they weren't real then they would be Memorex instead of Verbatim.
Are they real?
What I thought this story was asking when I first saw it.
"Why Are So Many Nerds Librarians?"
When I see people spell the word 'Shudder' like that, I shutter too.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
That's the reason for all the trouble with China.

Flexible like the bones in your fingers, too.
That's assuming that the security wasn't developed by a finite number of monkeys, all sharing one typewriter.
I knew that.
No, Sony is working to make it a fully assed Blu-Ray player to compete with the HD-TnA format.
As an added benefit, if you fire enough employees then all bugs will be shallow.
There. I fixed that for you.
The same law really does apply to people who use Macintoshes, no matter what you may think.
I have only one reaction to this.
