Yes indeed; talk about randomly anthropomorphizing computers (and the networks they can constitute as is the case here). Interesting how a term such "researcher" can be commercially re-defined to mean "product-promoting-idiocracy-automaton" with little to no difficulty..

Parent post is in need of up-modding of score, badly!

I would really like to see just a few of the player-hater-posters here be victims of a hurricane/mudslide/[insert your favorite natural catastrophe] only to be told by inconsiderate people on /. that they should be allowed to suffer because of their apparent lack of capacity to not live where they live!?

Especially, when one takes into consideration that about 20% Louisiana's population is under the poverty limit, it is simply inexcusable to be making these sort of comments - people don't "just move" to another area?! (see http://www.lsuagcenter.com/en/food_health/health/hunger_food_security/Faces+of+Poverty+in+Louisiana.htm for further demographics on Louisiana)

Lastly I find it completely beyond understanding and frankly rather sad for /. on the whole that the parent post (and a few of the equally cold and ignorant replies) has been voted '5, Insightful'..
