Jack Thompson Sues Microsoft 574
An anonymous reader writes to mention that Jack Thompson, in his latest bout of zealotry, has set his sights on Microsoft for their recent release of Halo 3. GameAlmighty has posted the letter to Bill Gates. "Here's the deal, Mr. Gates: Either Microsoft undertakes dramatic, real steps, through its marketing, wholesale, and retail operations to assure that Halo 3 is not sold, via the Internet and in stores, directly to anyone under 17, or I shall proceed to make sure that Microsoft is held to that standard by appropriate legal means. I have done that before successfully as to Best Buy, and I shall do so again as to Microsoft and all retailers of Halo 3."

Routinely when driving around we find oodles of open access points, and this is far from a big city we live in. But, don't assume when you find an open hotspot that you can do whatever you like. A Michigan man got stuck with 40 hours of community service and a $400 fine for Wi-Fi access from a parking lot.

I'd love to see what happened the year after the superbowl went flag...
The biggest problem I have about this is that the complaining now stops after a video game movie is made. I didn't hear any complaining about the Doom movie. I doubt we'll hear anything about the upcoming Silent Hill movie either, even with the unavoidable gore that will end up coming about.
Complaining about things like this would make more sense if they were consistent across the board. When a video game becomes less interactive, if the reasoning is that they are violent to begin with, they should have the same effect.
Luckily, nothing that the government does as far as restrictions are concerned will effect me, simply because I'm already over the ages that the rating system effects.
