It's coming up to Christmas time - why dilute the charities that really need Christmas boosts with one that doesn't?
As for the DRM, it's already in the games - why would a company, that is in dire financial straits, spend $$$ to remove DRM from games just for a short sale?
I'd sue you for infringing my patent of making a comic from a slashdot article!

(although you might do a GOOD comic so i guess that would invalidate my fake patent..)
PS: I'd read it. Comments about information density appear silly given most people just seem to skim the article snippet.
so as i work throughout my day, talking to more and more clients, my computer will gradually show me more and more gun shop websites? awesome!

Heh, i can't help but bet half the answers went along the lines of:
"take 4 hostages, put them in the upstairs office inside a warehouse, then wait at strategic points covering the roller door, back door, and ceiling air duct for Counter Terrorist forces."
There are so many awesome games out now and coming out soon - I thought I was going to go broke before Christmas, but EA has solved that problem for me by cutting the number of games I want in half.
Thanks EA! keep up the good work!
The agent probably booted up World of Warcraft.. to check for terrorist activities of course - guess she just has to wait til he gets his nightelf to lvl 70
The company I work for developed a web based knowledge repository like this back in 2001 for Galiwinku in the Northern Territory. Unfortunately the project derailed, I'm not sure why (being only a lowly developer and all), but was probably due to funding reconsiderations or somesuch.
We had a working system which covered the different groups, sexes, groups within the sexes, age, location, and a few other things I can't recall now and can't check back up on because the development site is all written in the Yolgnu language.
It was an amazing amount of data to work with though, and one thing I didnt see mentioned yet, is that it isn't JUST about limiting who has access to what, it also defines what aspect you are presented with regarding a given item - eg: a given plant may have one story attached to it in relation to a women's group from wherever, but a totally different one for male elders elsewhere. So it's not just about keeping people out, it's as much to ensure individuals receive the right information for their affiliations complex as they may be.
Most painful access level components I've ever worked on.. ever..
Didnt see in the article any mention of the fact that spammers are using Denial of Service attacks on anti-spam related infrastructure too - can't see those falling by the wayside any time soon. re: Blue Security - http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/08/142 229
dont forget they can write support for it out of IE.. bad move marketingwise of course, but hey, they're big industry, they can do whatever they want with their products and people will continue to use them.
There is a McDonalds advert airing here (Australia) at the moment which I'm sure has counterparts in other countries around the world, basically what happens in it is adults walking around freeze - then THEIR CHESTS HINGE OPEN and CHILDREN climb out to go get them Maccas! And they aren't worried about THIS advert being copycatted?? I fricken am! Haven't they SEEN Alien/s?!?
books are good.. but under this law you couldn't read a book in a public place, because someone might read a bit over your shoulder and then we're right back into copyright infringment waters.

every company that sells products to Australians online has been doing this forever

that was the OTHER half of the answers (interestingly they were split 50/50 between planting at site A and site B). ;)

I really think Lucas should've sat down with his fans and discussed this in a committee
