1) Quality "any PC controller on the market you desire", customizable to each button
2) I don't think that word means what you think it means
3) Convenience of not having to hook up an entire system whenever you want to switch platforms
4) Windows emulators are not linux. It's not like you have to mount a drive here
5) lol, wut?
6) Any game ever available from any region, including betas and developer models. And hacks/fanedits.
Reminds me of a post once where someone asked why China's Ministry of Truth was so effective at censorship.
By not saying "You're prohibited from discussing topics X, Y, and Z" and instead just hauling people off to prison when they decide the line has been crossed, people censor themselves far more effectively.
The only thing a storied history of warfare for control of the country shows is that your own little empire is just another little benchmark and will eventually fall for the same reason the others did.
Your state legislature attempted to install a law that has already been struck down in other areas on a constitutional level. Therefore, what they did was illegal.
I advise you skip the outrage and go straight to arrest, trial, conviction, and liquidation of assets to pay the fine.
"but do you think people should be able to yell FIRE in a crowded theatre" argument
Doesn't matter what anyone thinks, the text is quite clear. Shall pass no law. Fire clause/fighting words/incitement to riot laws are unconstitutional.
That brings up a good question. I can see how we Americans are striking down these attempts at legislation because the thrust of the law is against violent games (and we love our violence), but for some reason I always thought selling NC-17/X movies to minors was prosecutable under something, simply because We Don't Like It.
If not, why aren't there any stores openly advertising that they'll sell Backdoor Fun 9 to anyone with enough allowance money?
Such a thin line separates a brilliant marketing strategy from a shitty one
If I was in a bar and some guy walked in, announced he was from Beer Company X, then handed over a case for the bartender to distribute for free with his blessing, I'd thank him kindly and certainly try his product. I might even become a customer.
Please point out a statue where someone could be prosecuted for that. In new york, nearly all sex offenses require "sexual conduct." (distinct from the sex offender list, which you can be added to without having committed a crime)
I take your emphasis on "convicted" to mean it would be required for prosecution -- meaning he'd only be charged with parole violation. In other words, an act any other free person could commit.
Take a look at it this way. I, as an exec at Gamestop, create a viral campaign that states Barbie's Horse Adventures is a Halo-killer and we can't even keep it on the shelves. Sony orders another 5 million units made to replace my stock... which I don't purchase because I know people will wise up soon. However, the plan works like a charm for me clearing out my stock.
Perfectly legal, I imagine. But do you think Sony would like it?

For those of us who actually showed up to work, slow day is also looooooong.
if you get pulled over by the police, they don't need a warrant to search your car because they've got the goddamned guns
Fixed.
Try sending something whacky through the mail. A box of sand, or a brick. See if it gets through in one piece.
Or read from someone who's done it: http://www.directcreative.com/aaexperiments.html
That is an awesome spin on the issue. Virus writers should definitely countersue everyone for altering their intellectual property.
This was a lawsuit (civil). Jail time wasn't even on the table.
Silly rabbit, the police rarely arrest rich white guys.
He allowed rich people to have less money. There is no higher law.
Oh my God, Bear is writing! How can that be!
Watch any of the dvd extras with art department guys. They'll flat out tell you it's because facial mods are easier (no clothes there to work around).
So what is new here?
Nothing. They're still retarded laws.
At what point is it a good idea to attempt to regulate thoughts, feeling and their expression?
As soon as the government can get away with it
Seriously, almost every single one denegrates towards this batshit-crazy stuff in the end before it's overthrown.
To some people (religious fundies of all colors), being sick is a crime.

How is this much different than in the US, other than it being de jure there and de facto here?
Try refusing to submit your film/game/cd for a rating, see how far it gets.

Country closed, due to AIDS.
Well then we should probably sort that out instead of ignoring it. This is what the amendment system is for.

The 14th amendment has been interpreted to apply the Bill of Rights to state governments as well.
I'll wait for a Jessica-shaped controller
