Mainstream media trying to block new entertainment avenues they don't control is nothing new. When you are hacking and slashing at stuff in GTA or WoW, your not watching ads, and that's bad for their business. Parents, make your children watch the damn ads !
Semi-funny:
how about games selectively driving us to violence instead of developping our urges to slash at salads, gobble up mushrooms, eat ghosts, get bored on deserted islands, use-starch-on-snake-then-use-snake-with-bow-on-win dow ?

Having a nice $30 game is collateral benefit.
What about games? as a Ubuntu/winXP unenlightened dualbooter, i'd be pretty turned on by an Apple annoucement that they support some kind of Cedega like system allowing access to most of the windows game library under OSX.
Encrypting is not evil, i agree. But i guess the real meaning behind this statement is the the guy knew he was doing something "sensitive" as he went as far as crypting the data. so he can't say he wasn't aware of it.

I place my money on the Time Cooling System. Just wait a few years and you get "extreme" performance without the need to overclock anything. Damn my K6 used to burn holes through my motherboard, and my K8, while "extremely" faster, runs at half the temp.

I say he's bluffing.
Actually, "check mate" comes from a bastardized persian locution "shh mt", meaning "The king is dead". playing Chess (shah) is playing Kings, truly.

Once you start doing something for good reasons, you'll inveitably end up doing it for bad reasons. Commander Vimes, Thud!
