Grow up and take your responsibilities.

There is a general trend in modern society, where everyone blames others but never themselves. I think there was that shitty song, "It wasn't me", or something. But that's beside the point. Today, Howard Schmidt, ex-White House cybersecurity advisor, said that developers should be liable for security holes. What the fuck? I know, it sounds acceptable when you say that the one that makes mistakes should pay for them. But is a developer really the one that makes the mistakes? A developer, and a software company, should make sure they build a software as well as they can. If you asked for a particular feature, and instead you get a bug ("Uhm. That wasn't a bug. That was our intended feature." - *cough*), then the company/developer/whomever/your mom is liable. But security flaws? That's like saying, I know you built a nice bridge, but it got nuked. I want a refund. You see, it's impossible to test every possible flaws and attacks. You just... can't. It's possible to design your bridge to resist high winds, medium earthquakes, etc. Because, that just might happen. It's the same in software, you can expect the developers to do what they can for security, but you can't expect something perfect.

Also, in the most recent episode involving Jack Thompson, he proposed a video game scenario. The real link is now dead -correction, it reappeared, screw the Fairy, you know you wanna-, due to the involvement of Miss Fairy. I mean, *coughpoliticalpowermoneycorrutionbushismfucktardinesscough*. Please read a small summary by Joystiq, instead. So basically, what he wants is a chainsaw -er, baseball bat massacre game? Shouldn't that be easy to do? Someone should seriously mod GTA, and hand that mod to him. Guys, that's ten grand, to a good cause! Then sell the mod for, uhm, 1$ per download, and beat his offer using that money. But seriously though... Grow up. If you think banning violent video games with do the trick and save your dying education system, you suck. The problem is not games. It's everything, including Thompson. Movies, music, way of thinking, everything. And you can't ban everything. If you want your kid to grow up without being subjected to extreme violence in games, don't fucking buy the game.

Don't fuck with us. ~Ctrl-alt-del, Tim Buckley.
