Yes I want that level of violence. Not necessisarily in any particular game, but in those that are violent, I expect the requisite violence.
Now if it was a version of tetris where the blocks fell on the necks of helpless puppies until they cracked or something, then yeah, that might be a place you can cut corners.
However, along with any discussion of a)violence, b)kids, c)entertainment I also expect a)whiny liberals calling for government control instead of personal responsibility, b)bitchy conservatives telling the whiney liberals to STFU and c)the corporations to continue to do whatever makes them the most profit.
My response when it's denied will be "Good riddance to badd rubbish!" We don't need any post-election social engineering interfering with the painstaking pre-election tampering!
Hopefully SuSE will have patched that during their customization of the kernel. Someone with more motivation than myself might want to double check with them before they go to the presses.
The fact is people are already making meth from cough syrup, but does that mean we stop the sale of cough syrup?
We're getting close, I went to pick up a bunch of NyQuil (cold was just begininng to spread through the family), and they limited me to a single two bottle pack. They told me I have to come back a different time if I wanted more.
I'm a bit harsher in my view, far as I'm concerned if you can't be dropped alone into a forest and survive, good riddance.
And I don't mean like the Congo, just that patch of woods behind the grocery store.
We've done far too much weakening of the species already.
I don't have a sig, but for the clueless this post is humorous and inflamatory. It's funny to piss morons off.
You're just trying to sell the technology anyway, do some number crunching and determine how many live full sized DVD quality video streams you could conceivable handly, use Canadian math (double it and add two, eh), and set up that many PC's with hidden internal DVD drives playing movies like The Matrix, and Lord of the Rings. Label the DVD drives with names like "UK_FS_01" or "AUSSIELINK", and away you go. They won't see any slowdown, and they'll appreciate your proper geeky choice of movies.

Well, 10fps goes along well with the fact that the game is made up of essentially six "levels", and is extremely short. This way you don't have to spend alot of time being frustrated over the low frame rate.
Game solved in 10hrs... bah.
If the French were civilized, you'd have a point, but as they're not, their SI "standards" can be put right into that storage bin where you keep your ratty old shirts. You know, the ones that you use for working around the house to keep your nice clothes clean & civilized looking.
I guess perhaps I wasn't as clear as I could have been.
When you get my name from Bob, and you want to do business with me, you would contact my business through one of the legislatively protected e-mail accounts, for example sales@somecorp.com. You might mention in the contact e-mail that Bob recommended SomeCorp because TelevisioSledgicus did an amazing job on his web page, and perhaps I would would get back to you directly, depending on current project load, or I may hand you off to a colleague because Bob was a pain in the rear customer.
I'm not sure if you've spent any serious time in sales, but a good portion of your job IS managing contacts, your client list, to which adding whitelist is nothing...I'm sure any enterprise CRM products would very quickly support seamlessly managing of the whitelist of customers in addition to everything else, etc... in fact one of our current Domino projects is adding this very feature and tying it to the OverQuota CRM package.
The full details of what the "protected" e-mail addresses are would have to be ironed out of course, but as I mentioned things like root, sales, abuse, webmaster, etc.... would be protected from spam by large severe fines.
And, I am a SA, so I get to deal with whitelists and spam, and spam complaints very regularly on the job.
...at least as far as 90% of end users are concerned.
On my Cingular phone, I have the capability of setting up a simple "Reject if not in list" filter, this weeds out anyone I don't know and anyone I don't want calling me on my cellphone.
On my mail filter I have whitelisting, if you're not on the whitelist, I don't see your e-mails ever. No need to holistic filtering techniques, RBL's, or anything else... if you're not pre-approved to contact me you eat a bounced e-mail.
Now that simple filtering method should cover all end-users, home accounts, and the like. The only accounts that should now be able to receive spam are your group and management accounts. root@, webmaster@, sales@, etc.. cannot readily be blocked this way unless you're looking to minimize your customer and user base (which would be fine on some days...:) but isn't feasible in the real world.
However, that is one place legislation can take care of business.... Any UBE\SPAM\Junk to management addresses should be punishable by large fines, perhaps some caning, beatings, etc.. as your local human rights limits allow =)
And for those that want to receive spam there is always the opt-in by not using whitelisting.
Your personal whitelist will just be something else you can carry with you like your checkbook or USB drive/smart card...go into an internet cafe, stick in your USB dongle, check your e-mail. Web based e-mail could keep your whitelists in their database, but I see this as a security hole since yahoo or whomever could add themselves to your whitelist as they want.

Speculation about two bodies sharing the same "soul" "spirit" (what-have-you) have been touched upon only in the various pieces of fiction until now.
Did the Dolly clone use up some of Dolly's time on earth? Did the Dolly clone just meet her natural life expectancy, since she was pre-destined for a short life...just the luck of the draw this time around? Simply another lab screw-up in the long list of screwups by the boys in white playing "God"? Or was it a secret sect of the Vatican Secret Police that infiltrated and sabotaged the project? Or... ??

No, I BUY things, I don't license anything. I pay EBWorld money for a pretty colored box containing some more paper and plastic bits. If parts of the paper that I now own say things I don't like, that's ok, it's my paper, I can mark on it with in and cross out the bad words. If there happens to be a round shiny piece of plastic that fits in my CD drive I can stick it in there if I want to. If I can make the laser in my CD drive read some strange language out of peaks and valleys on the piece of plastic, and get pictures out of it, then cool! If I take the language and re-arrange it on my hard drive so it no longer requires a piece of plastic, all the better! If I share my new language with friends and strangers around the world, then huzzah!
You will all be alot better off once you stop trying to bend intellectual property, and realize there is no intellectual property.

Honestly, everyone one would have been much better served with dolphin steaks.

The truth is Heisenbugs are caused by programmers.
It seems the solution is quite obvious to me, don't provide any end user documentation, and don't acknowledge any third parties. Problem solved. =)
