Two major development platforms are.Net and Java. One is fairly Open Standard but not open source - and gets demands for Open Source. The other is not even open standard yet people accept this. Maybe the real issue is people can imagine a world where Java is totally open but don't ever expect.Net to be so don't bother discussing it (The wonderful Mono efforts aside)
If the Game industry (or the movie industry) can prove that repeatidely viewing an image does not affect behaviour than the advertising industry will be shown to be a rort. Companies like Coca-Cola that spend millions on repeating images to affect behaviour of consumers (adverts in other words) will have to ask if they've been defrauded by advertising salespeople.
In a civilised country the courts have final say on who gets incarcerated. In countries with Human Rights issues there is no one who oversees who the Govt incarcerates.
Who oversees the Govt choice of 'tropical resort' detainees?
One country has concentration camps in Cuda, Afganistan and some European countries (you know the same places the Nazis did) but its ok, they on our side. But the bad people lock people up without resorts to courts.
One country has nukes, a WMD program at White Sands (you know the oldest WMD program in the world) but its ok, they're on our side. But the bad people have WMD programs.

After all you've got a president who thinks he should be your judge.
Well said.
It is better to aska question and be thought ignorant than to not ask and remain ignorant

So,
One country has concentration camps in Cuda, Afganistan and some European countries (you know the same places the Nazis did) but its ok, they on our side. But the bad people lock people up without resorts to courts.
One country has nukes, a WMD program at White Sands (you know the oldest WMD program in the world) but its ok, they're on our side. But the bad people have WMD programs.
All I can say is Newspeak.
