Comment You cannot learn to drive by playing GTA (Score 2, Insightful) 504

In GTA the player never sees or simulates the use of the real controls used to drive; you use a joystick or controller to play. You are never made aware of the real controls; like an ingnition, steering wheel, gas pedal or break pedal. This kid learned to drive either by watching any number of TV shows that give a lot more information about the act of driving or by watching his parents. He is talking about GTA because he knows its the way to increase his 15 minutes of fame (or infamy) and get the kind of attention that he obviously doesn't get a home from his parents.

Did anyone actually read the license agreement? The actual AT&T (and let me tell you I don't like AT&T but I don't like misleading articles either) license agreement doesn't actually say anything that this article is saying (at least as far as I can tell) here is the closest thing I could find:

* creating or attempting to utilize a domain name that is defamatory, fraudulent, indecent, offensive, deceptive, threatening, abusive, harassing, or which damages the name or reputation of AT or
* re-selling or providing Service(s) to unauthorized third parties, whether as part of a commercial enterprise or otherwise.

These lines are clearly only talking about using a domain of a web site that is being hosted by the AT&T customer over the AT&T Internet Service. If you want to rant on about the evil empire that is AT they just don't want you using their Internet service to do it. Seems reasonable to me. Get a 1and1 hosting account and open whatever domain you want to talk dirt about AT&T.
