China has banned minors from playing any online game that allows one to “PK” (player kill) another player:
“Minors should not be allowed to play online games that have PK content, that allow players to increase the power of their own online game characters by killing other players,” Liu Shifa, head of the MOC’s Internet Culture [...]
Bully draws protesters to Rockstar’s front doors because parents have nothing better to do. First of all, why is Rockstar making a game based on this? Sure, it’s original game content but I’m not sure it even sounds fun. Secondly, with all the hot coffee noise going on lately it would be [...]
The 11 year old girl who threw a rock at an 8 year old boy will be spared a felony trial. Looks like all the bad press for Fresno’s city officials paid off. Remember children, no more throwing sticks and stones because you’ll get arrested, especially if you break someone’s bones.
Let’s clear this up once and for all. The Sims or any various sequel and/or expansion pack, including The Sims 2 does not equal any form of Grand Theft Auto, including hot coffee. You got that Jack Thompson and any other wanna-be misfit or politician who thinks otherwise.
I’m getting quite a few Google [...]
But you can’t hide from the geo-political outsourcing machine. “Wired discusses this topic”:http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.02/india.html and as many of you know, I do follow this kind of stuff very closely but do not discuss my opinions on this topic openly due to self censorship. “Thanks to James”:http://james.seng.cc/archives/000287.html for the article!

bq. “What to do? It’s fairly easy to see what’s happening, but extremely difficult to know what to do about it.”
I know what to do and it’s not a very favorable opinion but what are we going to do about our children’s future? Surely we’re not going to let [...]

Do you bank at Bank of America? Maybe you should read the “latest article”:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/10/29/BUGL42L7N91.DTL from David Lazarus.
bq. “Now comes word that BofA will establish a 1,000-employee subsidiary in India to significantly expand its presence in the country. The bank has yet to say where the facility will be located or what specific functions it [...]
I normally don’t post this kind of stuff due to my own self censorship policy on this topic. However, since I feel that what happened in “this case”:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/10/22/MNGCO2FN8G1.DTL is very important to everyone, I thought I’d share.
We all have visited the doctor, dentist, or some medical facility at least once in our lives (I [...]
Unbelievable. The “state tax on cars was tripled”:http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/06/20/financial1339EDT0095.DTL today because Gov. Lame Duck Davis can’t get his own wallet together to pay for simple things like *education*. So, without even passing a “law”, he instructed Mr. Peace (yeah, I know, this guy doesn’t even deserve his family name) to raise the tax and [...]
