    ... because we, in case you forgot, had a major ethnic cleansing of the Jews about 70 years ago. Sure, there's lots of Christian/Muslim killing going on, but sadly this has been going on for hundreds of years, and the world in general is "desensitized" to it.

    Even an appearance of anti-Semitic tone is instant marketing suicide, it seems. It was bad, but I think we can move along now.

    Well, I should specify this isn't Colo I'm talking about. We leave colo alone unless asked to touch. I'm primarily speaking of "dedicated" servers - basically they rent it.

    Fireworks in specific are banned too! And he was in his seat.

    Basically there should be no rules because of this, because everything he did was already sufficiently covered.

    Any policy changes because of this are 100% "Looking like your doing something" and/or fear.

    I _DO_ work at a hosting provider, and unfortunately root access is often required to repair the steaming piles of crap customers often leave behind.

    That may be a symptom of the type of customer we attract, but I don't think this is unusual. The submitter is an exception, most people who get them have no business operating a server.

    For the submitter: get an internet KVM and use LUKS to encrypt. You'll need the KVM to remotely type your passphrase. They can still get at it if they really wanted to - but you aren't going to be worth the effort.

    Hell if you are where I think you are, you better check your boot scripts, I think you'll find openvt opening a terminal where you may not expect.

    I think that was their attempt at trying to tactfully avoid allowing the player to kill jews.

    Their fault or not, you know that would cause an unfortunate media shitstorm.

    I hardly see how laying in the back seat while the care is securely parked can be considered Operating.

    Always a good sign:

    In October 2007, Left Behind Games sent letters to various bloggers demanding them to remove negative reviews of Eternal Forces from their blogs.[34] The letters read in part:

This includes posted comments made by others in the context of reading the incorrect or misleading statements.

This may subject you and your organization to significant legal and financial damages.

    What you speak of is less the trappings of religion and more the trappings of assholes who want to feel better than you. I think every group is guilty of a few of these folks.

    Take note of Assassin's Creed's disclaimer though. When you run the game they state it was created by a multinational team of various faiths and beliefs.
