Games don't "plant" much of anything. If a person has ever wondered what it would be like to, for example, carjack people and run from the police, they might find the game appealing. On the other hand, if they find that kind of idea disgusting, they'll throw down the controller and never play it again. What a concept!
People often hear from Microsoft that Linux only seems more secure because it is less widely used than Windows. Why, then, are Linux web servers hacked less than Windows servers, despite the fact that they outnumber Windows servers?
If Microsoft really does go forward with charging people for antivirus, I hold out no hope for them _ever_ coming out with a more secure version of Windows. They would really just be shooting themselves in the foot. It's just sickening to think about. If they do this I can guarantee you I will never buy from them again.
If there is ever some kind of gene therapy to greatly extend the human lifespan, there will have to be a genetic birth control that drastically limits birth rate in affected individuals. It's not foolproof, but with legal enforcement, we could make it work...
Who would want to download source code that looks like this? I bet the open source community would hate it, especially Gentoo Linux users. Please think of the Penguins...
Maybe not, but someone will check. And if they find something that shouldn't be there, word will get around quickly.
Even if nobody actually looks at the code, the programmer can count on it happening. Open source keeps people honest that way.
I played the hell out of System Shock 1 and 2, and loved them both. The monster respawning did WONDERS for the atmosphere. Even when backtracking through finished areas the games were really tense. And don't even get me started on the groves.
If they choose to do this, sweet. If not, then maybe someone will have the balls to make a DOOM 3 mod. It seems like the perfect engine for it. =)

Ahhhh I see. If I was still Christian I would have known that.
So they tried to discourage suicide by sending the message that suicide == death? Was this before they invented Common Sense?
Hey, a sailboat!
Easy. Just buy a 64MB chip and break it in half like a graham cracker.

Sounds like it's doing its job: removing Potentially Unwanted Software.

Wow. I was under the impression I *enjoyed* movies. My bad...
He doesn't HAVE to have a reason, the fact that it's dumb is self-evident! I mean look at it! It literally oozes with weapons-grade dumb!
You have a point. Why do we bother making these silly games when we can just go outside and blow shit up? Oh wait.
On a side note, anyone remember Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri? *Sniff* I miss LookingGlass...

That sounds like an interesting story. How did it happen?
LOL, I remember that video. My high-school science teacher showed it to my class, it was priceless.
I think that's why it was a joke.
Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black? Oh wait.
How about a swiss army knife that has a USB key, LED and pen? http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/6b3b/ =P
All we need is 20 more crapping jokes, and then we're set.
Yeah, that's pretty much what's in store for Andrew. And he won't get better.
