China Plans To Restrict New Games Coming Into the Country and Limit the Time Kids Spend Online (bloomberg.com) 33
China's regulators plan to curtail the number of online games and discourage play-time, part of a broader effort to tackle device addiction and other ills that sent shares reeling from the U.S. to Japan. From a report: The curbs were just one aspect of a swathe of edicts intended to address the health and growing incidence of myopia among children. But they come on top of a months-long freeze in game approvals, further muddying the waters for an industry that labors under one of the world's most opaque regulatory regimes.
While the new regulations encompassed everything from encouraging outdoor activities to usage of electronics, investors zeroed in on the game curbs during a highly sensitive time for the industry. The government hasn't given any explanation for a freeze on title approvals since March, prompting debate over whether it's a temporary halt due to regulatory reshuffling or whether Beijing is planning a crackdown in a wider campaign against online content. Tencent's inability to monetize its hottest games also cast doubt over the relationship between the world's largest gaming company and the government.

Critics can be snowed. Audiences who pay for their own tickets and are likely more familiar with the subject matter have different opinions.

I won't judge someone who takes their own life but to deliberately kill innocent people in the process is just pure malignant narcissism. Why reward this fool in death by giving him a slashdot article and profile? The only upside to this article is that more people might contribute money to the victims funeral expenses.

Comment What sega, NES, SNES rom websites need to do (Score 1) 334
1) Remove anything published by Nintendo itself. That's what got the rom sites sued. Nintendo did not care about anyones's IP except theirs.
They are enforcing their copyrights and trademarks and their trademarks are still in active use. There are MANY nes and snes games that ninentendo did NOT publish and has no particular stake in.
2) If you get a letter from a copyright holder asking you to take something down you take it down, thats not rocket science it may even be basic courtesy.
If a copyright holder is active then its not abandonware.
3) Do not put any ads on the pages listing the roms themselves. Only the original copyright holder has the right to make money off these roms.

As long as the photo ID is free and easily obtainable even on election day. The problem is most states requiring this pick their parties favorite ID's (gun permit, military ID, etc) while not allowing the other sides ID (College ID, welfare ID[even state ones]) . The fact is photo id would not even be necessary if voter registration included a photo and thumbprint as part of the registration process.
