You missed their point: content created by players. The players didn't creat the content.
Not saying I agree with the ESRB; just pointing out their point.
That said, their disclaimer should say:
Online games that include user-generated content (e.g., chat, maps, skins) carry the notice "Game Experience May Change During Online Play" to warn consumers that content created or modified by players of the game has not been rated by the ESRB.
Having read a lot about this flaw it's actually amazing that AMD's quality control found the problem in the first place
Im an AMD fanboy but I used to know a guy that worked QA for one of the Intel plants here in AZ. He said they run the chips through very intense stress tests and such for days... if one has a problem they toss the whole batch.
Not too keen on the manufacturing process of chipsets myself, but I would think AMD's QA is comparable.
The less information the government has on you the better?
Maybe.
But lets look at it another way. So the government should abandon the census. Sprout up schools in the middle of nowhere and staff them for thousands of students.
So the neighbor directly across the street from you just moved in and then rented out his other three rooms to 3 couples. All the suddent there are 6 cars parked outside your house. If the government didn't keep track of this information they would have never implemented an ordinance saying a maximum of 5 individuals (with exceptions such as related by blood, married, etc.)
If the government doesn't know how many people travel from a to b and how often, how can they budget to accomodate such activities?
I don't want the government spying on me, but I don't mind them tracking pertinent information and using it to enhance public services. I was making fun of a friend a couple years ago because he refused to sign up for Frye's VIP cards. He didn't want them tracking what he purchases. Then he paid for the groceries with his VISA. As far as I can tell, a VISA card has a lot more information on me than a national ID would.
Some credit card representative knows that I always go to Sonic for breakfast on Thursday mornings, that worries me.

And I have strong faith in future of USA. This country thrives on innovation.
I totally agree in the second sentence; and that is precisely why I can't agree on the first sentence. The country thrives on innovation, but soon innovation in this country will be swallowed by litigation. We have people (which does include "corporate persons") patenting shit just to sit on it for ten years and sue the pants off the poor shmuck who thought of it later and actually did something with it.
Innovation was last century's buzz word. This century it's going to be litigation.
The Phoenix valley is great. No weather problems at all. We get a wall of dust every few years. The heat is nothing after living here for awhile.
And I don't know where you get the cultureless part from... I am pretty sure Arizona State was voted the #1 party university in the nation. And it damn sure is the #1 university for hot chicks. Go down to Fat Burger on Mill for lunch and watch the scenery. Thats all the culture you need.

I chuckled when I saw that the Best Buy and Frye's Electronics ad yesterday had no mention of the Zune.
Apparently you missed the first two "RTFA" posts...
So, RTFA.
