Comment Not illegal in Denmark. (Score 1) 350

There is no way in hell this is illegal in Denmark and I doubt that it is illegal in Sweden & Norway. In reading the article this seems more a matter of being afraid that the game or company might get the stigma of paedophilia attached to it.

Keeping child molesters away from children = Good

Saying that everything involving children is child molestation = Not so much.

CoreBoot (LinuxBIOS) Can Boot Windows 7 Beta 207

billybob2 writes "CoreBoot (formerly LinuxBIOS), the free and open source BIOS replacement, can now boot Windows 7 Beta. Videos and screenshots of this demonstration, which was performed on an ASUS M2V-MX SE motherboard equipped with a 2GHz AMD Sempron CPU, can be viewed on the CoreBoot website. AMD engineers have also been submitting code to allow CoreBoot to run on the company's latest chipsets, such as the RS690 and 780G."

Can We Create Fun Games Automatically? 198

togelius writes "What makes games fun? Some (e.g. Raph Koster) claim that fun is learning — fun games are those which are easy to learn, but hard to master, with a long and smooth learning curve. I think we can create fun game rules automatically through measuring their learnability. In a recent experiment, we do this using evolutionary computation, and create some simple Pacman-like new games completely without human intervention! Perhaps this has a future in game design? The academic paper (PDF) is available as well."
