Oh beautiful for spacious skies...


NOT ONLY is it ILLEGAL to ban a video game, but a US court ruled that the city of Indianapolis is to recoup the legal costs for the defendants. The first good news in this age of the DMCA.

"But the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled no evidence backs that up, and attempting to shield children from exposure to violent images would be "not only quixotic, but deforming."


Hmmm...quixotic.

Thank God! Finally some sanity in the country! Now if only we could make people accountable for their actions! You know, kill someone and go to prison, don't wait for the McDonalds coffee to cool and it's your fault if you get burned, don't properly lock up weapons in your house and go to prison when your minor children use them to kill people, etc.!

A few years ago GM lost a lawsiut (thankfully overturned on appeal). The famil of a dead kid was siung them because his head was taken off when the airbag deplyed. Seems he was driving drunk, with out a seatbelt, and passed out with his head on the steering wheel. He crashed into a wall at about 40 MPH and boom! Off goes the airbag and his head! I can't believe that this case even made it to court! <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> What a country we in the US live in...

This is great news, especially after the clusterfuck the Fairbanks City Council tried to initiate up here, banning violent video games.

Excellent! Some real intelligence comes through! <IMG SRC="smilies/tickled.gif" border="0">

Isn't cluster fucking something that occurs in university computer clusters between two very intimate programmers after a heated round of counterstrike?

Maybe that's just Carnegie Mellon.

Yes. I knew this indeed QUIXOTIC (RevQuixo, you hit it right on the head with this word) law would eventually get shot down. There's justice after all.
