Comment move upstream? (Score 1) 310

Can they just move upstream and make game good development environments that 'everyone' can use - with the licences for nintendo things like mario - and sell these to the developers for a few hundred bucks? maybe new customer can use the tools to create and on-sell the games for $2.

either that or make games for the mobile platform that are better, and similarly priced, and go for volume?

That said, doing martial arts as a kid is a wonderful way to learn self-control, among many other benefits.

So does "doing" musical instruments.

Any sport, for that matter.

And any activity that requires concentration and diligence.

I born in New Zealand in the 70's, played saxophone (badly) age 10-12, then delivered newspapers to people at 5:30am age 14-17.. does that count?

So stand up and do something. Go join one of the groups wanting to destroy the US government and help out. Walk the talk, little geek, or sit on your fat ass and post screed that no one other than you think are relevant and intelligent.

There is no statement in the GP's post that they are against the approach they outlined..... you've just assumed they were and are doing nothing about it. Perhaps they are proud of how the USA can persecute someone without a guilty verdict....

Clearly the fact that Google and Facebook are built largely on open source software is meaningless. Who's ever heard of those? No, it's when foreign governments start using open source software that people will pay attention ;)

and funny thing is I work within a foreign government department and i've pushed open source fairly hard - The resistance is based around "American Enterprise don't use it so we wont either".
