Even if it was one person, it wouldn't be justified. The US needs a lot more than 'bashing', its needs accountability.
42 days is ridiculous, these governments are out of control.
There don't appear to be many comments that have a true political swing on this one, aside from the many hilarious comments (!)
I think it can be reasonably argued that simulators are good for training - i.e. driving, flying etc.
But when it comes to FPS I become a sceptic and see the many negatives associated. I think that the disassociation of the reality of war is growing larger and although I do play FPS I am well aware of the horrors of war. When you hear soldiers voicing lines you would hear your friends shout on a FPS, you get a little scared. When you hear the army has offices of developing games to train soldiers, I think people should be protesting.
I expect to be reprimanded for this comment.
That's pretty much it, the fact that it was most popular a few years ago is what has kept it going. I would say that it was moved into the profit making domain at a time when there was most to benefit and now they have to move into open source simply to continue the product. Cynical but true?
I support WordPress for its transparency and what I have experienced as genuine open source values. Doesn't make it perfect but with MT commercial, WP was the best alternative.
I doubt there will now be a strong pick-up on MT, but I could be wrong.

Saying you can kill YouTube is like saying you can kill the iPod, its not gonna happen!
Now this should be interesting...

Slashdot going down the drain? First time i've recieved two topics with caps and crap content.
how about this, they found all of the bugs in windows like 2 years ago so they didn't find that many in 2005? :D It doesn't prove anything anyway...
I agree, the idea is good - the implementation is rather more difficult.
