I don't think that monitoring unencrypted radio transmissions should be illegal
Actually, in the UK, it is illegal to tune a radio into a station that you do not have express permission to tune into. It is assumed that this was to outlaw the act of listening in to Numbers stations.
Nothing easier than Windows? Mac OS has ALWAYS been easier than Windows. Windows got easier because they kept copying Mac OS. And whiles Windows isn't as buggy as it used to be, it's still full of Microsoft spyware.
Suppose a year from now, parents are mystified that their 13 year old sons want to own some game called "Happy Bunny and the Carnival Mystery" (Rated "E" for Everyone). but how can they object? All of the game's content has been reviewed and approved by the ERSB and multiple gaming publications as being suitable for kids.
Then it turns out that a code, widely available on the web but largely unknown outside of gaming circles, unlocks the "freak show" mode, granting access to rooms full of violent and pornographic images. Some developer put it in as a joke, with the rationale that none of the kids will ever see it because it requires them to 'knowingly go out of their way to enable it.'
Simple. I just wouldn't let my kid get anymore games from that company. I would feel deceived. I would also feel that in no way should legal action be taken. And then I would probly go play with the freak show for my own entertainment.
"In a video game, you're actually pursuing and simulating a person. You're under hypnosis. You're a person that is dramatizing, that is living the example of what is going on."
How do they think I deal with stress without going out into the streets with a baseball bat?

Actually Singapore and previously Hong Kong are much more capitalist than the US
We should be teaching children that science is very very hard. That way we make less scientists, and those of us who are scientists get paid more.
For the love of gad pound into their heads the difference between RAM and HD space.
"You need more RAM. That's why your computer is crawling."
"But we hardly have any files on it."

Out of curosity, what happens if a publisher/developer decides not to have the game rated by ESRB? Will retail outlets still sell the game?
No they wont. Not big ones anyways.
