    I thought of a new anti pirate measure.

    LoL, isn't that the way things are already? Released with game breaking bugs, and demands that you let it connect to company servers.

    Most evil person in history?

    There seem to be a lot of theses threads... IMO evil is usually a combination of self interest and opportunity, and its' interpretation as "evil" is highly subjective. If your family was murdered in a terrorist bombing, or if they were "collateral damage" in "Operation: Peace Freedom &...

    Poll: A situation in which piracy is OK? [Read first]

    New code = new product = new purchase. I'm down with making an archive copy for later, but that's not what you're describing. Why do you need even to play the game on two console systems?

    Poll: Protect the Children?

    There are plenty of children who are now at the age of majority. Shelter from unpleasant concepts isn't always a service. If they don't learn sooner, then they have to learn later, or else muddle through life naive and ignorant. The trouble is that there is no right answer as to when or how...

    Capcom Denies Anti-Used-Games Stance in New Resident Evil 3DS Game

    If profits were a factor they should forthright about it. Appearing shady and evasive about their motives will only encourage people to find ways around unclear (and unnecessary?) restrictions. Why be confrontational with your customers? ..and if people start poking into their hardware over one...

    Australia's Internet Filter Switches On In July

    "Could"? This has been a cold war of attrition against freedom of information, and I see no end in sight. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/06/how-france-proved-that-the-internet-is-not-global.ars IMO the use of Universal villains is merely incidental, convenient straw men to make...

    US Seeks Extradition For UK Student's Copyright Violation

    The US prison economy is a growing industry, the ability for them to import prisoners on such a common issue could be a windfall.

    Poll: Do you think Video Games Need a Lemon Law?

    I thought releasing buggy games that require updates/patches was a new form of DRM. No registers games, but if you have to frequently connect with company servers just so their buggy release won't crash...

    Australia Bans Dead or Alive: Dimensions After All

    I can't speak for anyone else but I find such wanton use of censorship to be disturbing. I'd feel more comfortable skipping Australia in favour of New Zealand for tourism. Comparisons to other countries under heavy censorship do not a comfortable tourist make.

    Australian Unveils Prototype Hoverbike

    I'm skeptical about lateral stability and rolling. Let's see some free flight without tie downs.

    Confused about a word (WARNING: Possible un-intended racism, i'm really shocked)

    Personally I have no issue with people using asterisks. I guess it's desensitization. After seeing them used often enough in a derisive or hurtful manner, you just get used to it. Wingdings on the other hand I still find offensive. :(
