  1. Re:Mare Nostrum on Building The MareNostrum COTS Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    yep, it's just Latin for Mediterrenian Sea.

  2. Re:seriously this problem on DC Could Ban 'Mature' Video Game Sales to Minors · · Score: 1

    Yep, i think this is what' being tried.
    But this works for the movie industry, where a movie is *dead* when it's audiency is limited to 18+.
    And so if it isn't bought but just copied, the same amount of young ones plays the game, but the producers don't receive the same amount of money, so they probably won't produce another game like this...

  3. seriously this problem on DC Could Ban 'Mature' Video Game Sales to Minors · · Score: 1

    consists of two problems:

    - is it okay to ban mature content for immature people: who decides why someone/something is mature/immature?

    - is it reasonable, to make a law, that can't be enforced at all (broadband internet copies of games e.g.)? Is something more moral, when you can't fight it, don't you always have to fight immoral/bad/injust situations, even if it doesn't have a effect?

    I don't know either...

  13. Re:Well on Extradition of Warez Suspect Blocked · · Score: 1

    Even if US military members of US forces in Germany commit a crime in Germany, they are charged by US military court and not a German court. But to be fair, I think this is part of the treaties between Germany and USA after WW2.

  14. Re:Thats a new twist on Extradition of Warez Suspect Blocked · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know, that US govt would never give away one of their citizens to another countries authorities....
