Someone should start copying all Zynga mobile titles. They already have done the research and figured out what are the best games to copy. You copy their games, make what you think are the best improvements, and reap all the profits. Call it Dream Tower.

Calculators are appropriate at a certain level of math when you have the basics down. Being able to use calculators in anything lower than Calculus is just not right in my opinion. I've seen them used at the elementary level, the excuse the teacher used was they "finished learning" addition and subtraction, so they can now use a shortcut. Is it any wonder why math scores are so low in some regions?

And what is wrong with memorization? You have to memorize dates in history, punctuation in writing, and elements in science. Suddenly it is wrong for students to be forced to memorize the formula to find the area of a circle.

However, a company's name mistakingly placed on a list of entities for or against any bill shouldn't equate to slander.

It isn't about someone mistakenly putting a name on the list, it is about someone purposefully putting a name on the list. Slander is when you say something you know is not true. Someone could spend all day putting Slashdot on that list and X amount of people are going to see it. Some will eventually learn the truth, but there will always be those who forever think Slashdot supported SOPA.

2 very different games, I don't understand why people compare them in the first place.

Yeah, it would be like comparing Apples and Microsofts.

Or maybe they exist because big corporations refuse to sell their goods for a 100% discount.

This is the type of summary we can expect now that Cmdr Taco is gone.

"Seriously officer, this guy had a knife and he forced me to steal this big screen TV that is in my living room. I was going to return it after the riots were over!"

People riot after their favorite team wins a championship. It is not always touched off by something violent.

To create a mob you need a lot of people. Social media is definitely making it much easier to do things as a mob. At first it was used for good(?) with those flash mobs of people performing musical numbers. Now it is being used to rob stores. Without Twitter and Facebook, it would be next to impossible to coordinate what is going on currently in Britain. So, unfortunately, technology is to blame.

This could absolutely compromise the investigations. If the emails are leaked the defense could possibly get them suppressed and made unusable in court.
