Comment no, no. the real reason... (Score 1) 263

the real reason we have zombies everywhere is political correctness. it's a lot safer for game makers to use pretend antagonists than human beings. if a game has you shooting human beings, somebody's going to complain; monsters or robots are much less likely to offend the hyper-sensitive thought-police tipper gores of the world.

Comment Re:Update link in story (Score 2, Interesting) 178

The story points to plus46.html which isn't useful for a general distribution announcement like this. Here's a much better choice (which includes a link to the plus46.html page):

http://www.openbsd.org/46.html

or

http://www.sigmasoft.com/~openbsd/archives/html/openbsd-announce/2009-10/msg00001.html

for the record, i submitted it with different links. plus46.html was originally linked from the text "and lots more." they "improved" the links in the story before they published it.
