  1. Great Idea, Poorly Executed on Students Use Internet2 To Create Game · · Score: 0

    WOW,

    So I played through it 2 times before I got it right. The movie at the end is rather interesting, but the "challenges" are kind of weak. There seems to be little reason to some of them, and a couple depend on blind luck.

    Worth a quick play.

    A hint, think heaven sent white/blue popsicle. Water you waiting for? Give it a try

  2. Re:Enlightenment for the children... on Interview With Mac Co-Creator Andy Hertzfeld · · Score: 0

    Give the guy a break, I think we all knew what he was talking about regarding the cost of memory. Taymar aka Sherlock aka Sherlock2k aka HipOldGuy

    If your minor child were to break my window you would be obligated to fix it. How you extract, from your minor child, the cost of fixing it is up to you.

    So if the government won't let people steal things, then replace the government. I see how that works. Perhaps the new government will make it ok to steal cars you can't afford, that would be great. (the above is sarcasm)

    You Asked: If a minor downloads the music, are the parents liable? I reply: Yes, just like if the minor breaks a window, or steals a bike, just because you can't hold a MP3 in your hand does not make it any different.

    I really wonder why you folks seem to think it is ok to steal music, just like a Pawn Broker has to tell who sold stolen merchandise to him, why should Verison not have to do the same thing for music and movie thieves?
    The music companies have every right to get as much as they want for their music. If you don't like the cost, don't buy, but DON'T steal it, just because you can.

    I Agree with you:
