I never said the article wasn't real, I said that I doubt people judge open source software, electronic voting, or any other technologies based on the morals of one video game designer. That's just silly.
The "adult world" has never heard of databases, or word processing, or the Internet, they judge "us" (as if we were a single entity) based on one company's artistic expression. Sorry, but the connection you're making has very little base in reality.
How is it that video games shouldn't be afforded the same free speech protections as literature? If books are supposedly so much more immersive and stimulating to the imagination, surely books about murder would have more impact than a stupid game, right?
How do we know the Nintendo solution will have a better solution to these issues? Of course you're not going to get 30fps DVD quality video/audio, but if it's good enough to watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force on the road, I'm all over it.
Rush hasn't been charged with anything, he voluntarily went into rehab. If he had been arrested and convicted with 5000 pills, the story would probably have been different. Law enforcement have yet to be involved in his situation, although he was part of an investigation.
Show me an OS whose proverbial Casbah isn't rocked by FreeBSD. Anyone who would buy a SCO product at this point seriously needs to seek help. There's no reason for anyone to do that to themselves, no matter how bad they feel inside.
The second segment of "Anthology of Interest II" referred to in the post was quite possibly the best 10 minutes of TV, ever.
What kind of world do we live in when a show that great gets cancelled?
If FreeBSD were called FreeBSD Linux, this story would be on the front page. Someone's not doing something right when such good software gets so little attention.

Yeah, but then you'd be watching King of the Hill. And that would be really sad.

How is this better than a universal, memory card-based media player like the one I just found at: http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=50&produ cts_id=3983&
That being the case, the Anonymous poster's comments are even less relevant.

No more having to wear earplugs while DJing or attending warehouse/desert parties. The decent custom molded ones are $150, too.

How can any self respecting game designer follow their own artistic vision without regaurd to public opinion?

... But, the parents DO still make the final decision. They can give their kid the adult login if they wish.
for the illusion of security, you just need a good PR department and ignorant customers.
