Spore was a disappointment by design. Will Wright prefered "The Sim's sales than Half Life's scores"[1]. They catered to the Sim's public. That's why you have a "design everything" feature. And mechan

sigh This situation is filled to the brim with stupid and (aparently) harmless actions that lead to stupid reactions. - Hank makes a crude joke. This is a stupid, immature action. But harmless. And, imo, he has all the right to make the j

I think one of the ideas of the article is kids doing their experiments as they want. Using the "gie a man a fish, teach a man to fish" idea, I'd say the gist of it is "Give a kid a fishing rod, and let's see what c

They are different concepts but, in this context, they amount to the same. There is no harm in being offended. There is no harm in being shocked. I want art that offends me. I want art the shocks me.

I'm reading and loving that book. Of all the technological wonders of the setting, "ractors" are what amazed me the most. It's the perfect interactive experience, a full-time "Wizard of Oz"[0]. Maybe we can see

Ok, let's follow that logic: The Pirate Bay should be banned because people can use it to steal/share intellectual property. Automobiles should be banned because people can use it to run over people. Tor should be banned bacause p

The Pirate Bay, by itself, does not steal intellectual property, people do. TPB is just a tool that is mostly used for that purpose. Forbidding access to it is wrong. But I understand that to tackle the piracy problem is more practical to s
