SLA? Bullshit. If I buy a car called "Toyota 85MPH Blue Car" it had damned well better not be goverened to 55MPH. "But when you bought the car, the dealer never signed an agreement guaranteeing speed." Bull-shit.
China, the worse regime? perhaps. But with the secret domestic wiretapping program, and the Patriot Act, maybe we should worry about ourselves first. We continue to critize China's government, yet ours is slowly converging to theirs.
denying people access to information so that they can make reasoned and informed decisions, what is that, if not evil?
I'm trying to think, if I was younger, could I have used the same argument to my parents.
Sometimes too much information could be a bad thing.
Each google site shows stuff most relevant to the people in their locale (page ranks). You can type in almost anything pop culture related and each google site shows completely different responses. I offer an alternate possibility. Perhaps people in china really do hate falun gong. Regardless, this is getting very off topic. But I rather people not start jumping to conclusions that google is helping china to spread "propaganda". Google may be starting something evil, but this paranoia doesn't help anyone.
Remember the commercials where they showed a virtual world where anything can happen, but you need a PS9 to do it. Well I'm waiting till that comes out, forget about ps3. Hopefully I'm not dead yet when it comes out.
Besides that tidbit, being a hobbyist game developer, I'm hoping the PS3 would be more developer friendly. I doubt any small time developer would pay 1g for any dev kits, least I know I'm not. The dreamcast was a good system to develop for because you can burn CDRs of your own program and can run it on your friend's Dreamcast. PS2 Linux is great for development, too bad I can't just develop something and show others what I wrote just by burning a cd and distributing to them.

3 things a Triad must have. A cell, a blade, and now a Black DS lite.
What? They don't teach QBasic anymore?
