indeed.. posting using a real name with such a faux pas.. that just wouldn't do.
P1> if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear..
P2> the OP has hidden his name..
C> anyone see where this is headed?
Sometimes, it's just not a matter of pride.
I'm not sure where they're going to find all the people they need to READ all this email.. noone who knows how to do so can possibly pass the required security checks;)
Seriously, though.. i'm simply not too worried about it.. the sheer volume of processing that actually putting this into practice requires will easily outstrip it's usefulness. Besides, they attempted to do it before (when it was only a grey area.. it was never illegal as such in.au, to the best of my knowledge) and it didn't work then.. i'm not too sure that they've gotten any smarter in the interim.
i read in an interview before the release of We Love Katamari that Takahashi Keita actually had to be roped into doing the sequel at all..
apparently it was only when he saw what namco had planned for the afforementioned sequel (a clone of the first, with a bunch of christmas graphics spliced in) that he got involved again.
it IS a shame, though.. i could handle playing new levels of the same old katamari for YEARS to come..:)
If I have a hammer and you also want a hammer so you copy my hammer by manufacturing one yourself, just like mine, have you just stolen my hammer then? Even though I still have my hammer, right here? Because that's actually what you're saying.
There are immense socio-political implications to this statement.. obviously, it applies less readily to music than to hammers.. (because a hammer is a tool.. a facilitator..) you see where i'm going with this?
without getting overly academic about the issue, i think it is quite obvious that if it were possible to file a patent for 'a hand powered device for attaching metal fasteners into solid objects' without that silly prior art stuff getting in the way, whoever managed to fight their way to the patent office first would be trying very hard to instill the idea that it was their moral right to do so.
and they'd be right... from a certain point of view..

of course, if you can't track fast moving colours (if you have epilepsy, for example), Melee is not for you.
And here applied never they were...
