It's funny isn't it that Google gets blasted in Australia (and other countries) for obtaining data that was already publically available but its alright for the government to try and implement a Data Retention Policy that will be a serious breach of Privacy.

Did I just hear a collective banging of heads on desk from the science community?

I agree wholeheartedly with that first dot point. the developers/companies forget that the DRM code/algo what have you was created by humans and as with anything human-designed it isn't invulnerable, different thought patterns and ways of thinking will always find a way around something.

My comment was a mass generalisation and not intended to be taken too seriously, I reserve any real or serious comments until I have read the report, I just hope the reports they studied actually looked at lifestyle,genetics & Socio-Economic factors and not just what the people were like when they played a game because every mind is wired differently and playing any sort of game may give off a different impulse. :) I love science btw :P

we use the reports and findings that benefit only what we want the result to be. as Pojut quoted we need to release the inner monster sometimes.

he's Jack Thompson on crack, its not only games he trying to control he also recently attempted to make anyone writing online about his political party to submit there name and postcode (zip code), thankfully this never came to fruition but it is extremely disturbing how much power this guy seems to have.

between him and conroy we will soon be back to book burnings and witch hunts. Oh I do hope he says something against the bikies then we'll see who's more scarier (actually to be honest the bikies probably wouldn't care).
