Well if you know that happens tell all your friends and everyone you know. It's going to take a long time but at some point enough people will understand and care about what happens. When that happens the governments won't be able to ignore the people and force companies to change a little. In time we will succeed, we just have to keep trying.

You know what? I'm tired of these apathetic replies that say "Yeah so? Bad stuff happens. Nothing new".

Yes, people with a lot of money will sometimes pay other people to do bad/evil stuff for them...

The fact that everyone knows this doesn't mean we should just look away. On the contrary we should seek these guys and stop them. Hence why this is news. We get to find out about people paying for bad things and people doing bad things for money. We can stop and/or prosecute them.

Not correct - do this in python:

import random

random.seed(5)

f = open("dump", "wb")
for x in range(1000000):
f.write('%s\n' % (random.randint(1000000))

f.close()

By selecting different seeds you can create millions or billions of sequences with a tiny piece of code, even if you include the random number generator.

It's a game because unless you're using creativity mode you can't build anything you want or at least not easily. That is, you need to gather the resources for the design you are making and fight the monsters in the meantime.

Even so, if you *are* using creativity mode there are some limitations on the way you can construct and the materials you can use.

So I think it's kind of a creativity game, you express yourself but according to a set of rules. Maybe the equivalent of haikus in gaming?

Many pages make a thick book.
