Don't forget an important rule of war:
Send your weapons where your enemies are.
Well, in the modern era its better to say:
Send your ammo where your enemies are.
Either way, space is not needed to pursue either or these goals...especially when finding our enemies here on earth is the bigger problem we face.
I'm not saying this at all. I'm saying "our society associates breasts with sex". That is all. I'm not saying *I* believe that breastfeeding is indecent in the least; I believe quite the opposite. But I also believe that our society equates "nude breasts" with 'sexuality'. And I have both legal and (albeit twisted) moral support enough to say that this view (albeit *not* my view) is not uncommon.
Its *considered* harmful to children in this case as it exposes a part of the female anatomy considered again by the society to be shameful and/or only to be exposed in the act of sex. As a result, viewing this part of the female anatomy at a young age is assumed by this society to lead to children having and accepting sex more freely. This society also believes that sex should be downplayed due to a mixture of spiritual beliefs and the ultimate responsibility sexual activity entails (pre-birth control, etc...).
But I have a feeling you know about all this already. I think its ridiculous--but its how our society evolved.
Yeah, look around for how many janky programs are out there for tabletop gamers. Map making programs, online dice rollers, online grids, PDF library sorters based on statistics in various places...
There's nothing innovative about this kind of game. As a video game...maybe. But please put "video-" prior to the word "-game" if your talking about a video game. Most tabletop games do not punish you to do what you already did if you die (there are some exceptions; in "Zombies", for example, you can "respawn"; but in games like DnD and Magic, death or mistakes just means you get to try again, usually with a whole new experience no one else other than you will have).
Tabletop Games, especially roleplaying games, are still the dominant force in innovation and the most enjoyable games I've played in my life. They are games custom tailored to suit me and my needs, and can be played in a group of any size--from 2 to 14+.
As for solo adventures, online roleplaying has allowed for many new innovative systems reguarding the use of "personal chapters" that, although graded by humans for experience points at a later date, are itself "played" by yourself. Although this seems like its just creative writing, limitations on character and random encounters by enemies whose stats are given to you little-by-little can actually make the seemingly "impossible-to-lose-at-task" suprisingly challenging and rewarding.
There is a cluster of 7 year old siblings and cousins in my family, both boys and girls. I'd love to start a subtopic here on Christmas geek gifts available for this age group. One example: my son is asking for a Rock Polisher.
Philosophy teaches you how to think and learn in ways previously unimaginable. It "teaches" (or allows for the learning of/encourages the learning of, I guess I'd say) wisdom.
Philosophy is indispensable to all branches of life. Every person, from a construction worker to a CEO; from a scientist to an engineer; from a social worker to a policeman. They should all be taught the basic fundamentals of logic, ethics, rhetorical debate and the history of some of the most ingenious humans to ever walk the earth. And I don't simply mean in college. Philosophy is an indispensable and critical element of the human experience and legacy--something that must be cherished and nourished in order to live a successful human life. When people stop studying philosophy and blindly accept whatever world view and logical conclusions are thrust in front of them, they become slaves. Although its historically inevitable that a large portion of society will ignore philosophy, it should still be attempted to give all people the same chances so many others have been fortunate enough to receive.
Guys its ok. After all this ruling was just in Canada, which of course means its not worth the paper it was printed on. Oh sorry, was that defamatory? *Fixes*

Because the site is down, CodeWeavers specializes in products for Cross-Platform software. Like an office suite that works on Linux, Windows and Mac. Or Mac/Linux support for Windows game without rebooting/virtual machining. Basically they serve as one of the various tools out there for running "windows only" software on other operating systems.
This means this person, capable of not only using the internet but as a (clearly) (semi-) advanced user, is now no longer able to vote...because of something they did before they were legally eligible in the first place? And something they admitted to? Yet someone who doesn't know their left hand from a donkey's a-hole and votes based entirely on which guy they'd rather drink a beer with and/or whichever has a photo-op with someone who looks more like them is free to do the same AND drive drunk AND steal potentially thousands (but not over 10 thousand or so, depending on the state) AND even rape in some cases and still vote.
As a tabletop designer, I wish someone could change the title of this to "Video Game-Related..." simply so people like myself won't get encouraged by the misleading name. This will probably teach modelling, programming and even marketting...but I doubt game theory will be explored nearly enough...
I tried second life and was thrown off due to the adds and, to be honest, the fact my username attracted a type of person who assumed a fetish I don't have.
Its fun to roleplay without having to worry about whose sword glows more...until it starts raining penises to the tune of a verizon commercial.

*nods* I agree. But I don't think any part of the human body is perverse...well any part covered by skin.
Intelligence plays no part in it.

Games can also lead to developing skills such as writing, graphic design, computer programming, mathematics, statistics, history...
Oh wait, that's tabletop games.
Video Games on the other hand...I guess can help eye-hand-coordination and reflexes...but really not as much as working out or driving.

You say that about every extension.
Did anyone else read this as "the woman's teeth were found 50 km away from the rest of her body"? That would be one hell of a sucker-punch!

Computer Science is no exception.

Exactly. A worse evil does not justify evil. Hitler doesn't justify Manson.
Indeed. I laughed harder than I have for something on the internet in a long while.
