-ne 革命は短命な運命いま思うとそれは何かの始まりでもあり終わりだったのだろうと思う。９０年代の最後にエレクトロニカというダンス音楽の成れの果てのような動きが瞬間的に沸騰し、ドラムンベース以降の刺激に飢えてた新し物好きでアングラな音を求める人々がこぞって飛びつき味もわからず食い散らかして後には焼け野原が残ったという気がする。僕自身、なにかが今まさに起きてるという興奮と期待で足繁くその現場に通ったクチだ。宇田川町のホットワックスやシスコテクノが震源地でアブストラクトなヒップホップとかブレイクビーツを漁る若者が、突然ある日狂ったように電子実験音楽にハマっていった。ズビビビガガピキディジジチチチーマンガの効果音と擬音だらけの音。そこに男気でＢでサムライブルーな外国人に翻訳不能な得体の知れない刹那感もプラス。マッドでダークでイルでブチキレてイカれてる音ならなんでもよかったのだから、ハシカや知恵熱みたいなものだったのだ。９９年から００年にかけてがたぶん一番熱かった頃。オウテカ景気などと業界内で呼ばれ実際、オウテカのレコードが店頭に並ぶと飛ぶように売れたのだった。００年にレディオヘッドのキッドＡがメディアで騒がれる頃には終わったねとワケ知り顔でつぶやいてた。神経症でうつ病の患者が地団駄踏む複雑骨折グルーヴで皆が肩を揺らし踊ってたのだからおかしなハナシ。当時エレクトロと縮めて言う人も多く、エレクトロと言えば８０年代のオールドスクールエレクトロヒップホップだと頑迷に否定していたのも今となってはどうでもいい老婆心。ジャンルの呼称はかくもイイ加減でエレクトロニカは今ではそこら中にありふれている。エレクトロニカはペレストロイカな革命だったのか？あの時の火照った気分だけはいまだどこかに残ってはいるのだけれど。●タイトルＭＥＣＫＩＳＨ●アーティストインドープサイキックス●プライス2,520yen

-ne Study: Bad relationships could damage heartStory HighlightsStudy: Bad personal relationships can raise heart disease risk Increased stress is probably the key factor Previous studies linked health problems with being single Current research focused more on quality of important relationships CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) — A lousy marriage might literally make you sick.Marital strife and other bad personal relationships can raise your risk for heart disease, researchers reported Monday.What it likely boils down to is stress — a well-known contributor to health problems, as well as a potential byproduct of troubled relationships, the scientists said.In a study of 9,011 British civil servants, most of them married, those with the worst close relationships were 34 percent more likely to have heart attacks or other heart trouble during 12 years of follow-up than those with good relationships.

Get words to Youre My Home”That Billy Joel song that i love-Cause you are my home -So that somedayI can sit down and play it for you.Would you know then?I think you know alreadyHow could you notI tell you andI cant stop showing youI worry that im pushingThen you go and say somethingso sweet andabsolutely heart-meltingthat I know you knowAnd Im happyand im happy……and Im happylink

The Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino and a host of other Asian flavors congregate, eat, shop and hang out there. Since it’s an Asian store, instead of getting two choices of rice to buy, you get twenty. I’m craving animal protein and have reached my carb-limit for the day so I order a whole soy sauce chicken. I look around and take an inventory of what everybody is eating for no particular reason; it’s just what I do anytime I go out to eat. Chow mein noodles, deep-fried crab croquettes, chicken drummettes, battered, fried and covered in a smoky-smelling sauce. I, being the age that I am, and knowing what I know from the countless articles and websites I read on nutrition and food, can recite the rules (sorry, I mean guidelines) they tell you should follow for a happy, healthy life. and I eat until we’re just a little too full and I consolidate my leftovers into his Styrofoam bowl. He and I are both feeling kind of drunk from the meal and we make a pact to talk ourselves out of it next time coming to Ranch 99 sounds like a good idea.

They’re right in front of us folks … Shanoski with a hand full of hair rams Collins’ head into the turnbuckle … he’s got him hooked … he’s going for the Agent Orange! Brittany grabs Shanoski and throws him into the ring … You okay Chad?CF: I’ve been better … I think I need to see the doc …RR: Collins has Shanoski up in the torture rack … he spins Shanoski out into a neckbreaker! The fans have taken to him, and it looks like he left Violet and Emi at home … probably a wise decision by Fang.RR: Well, Fang’s a martial artist, and his Breaking Point backbreaker can come out of nowhere … I recall vividly when he snapped Brett Mondonno in two.CF: But Fang’s giving up size and power and possibly a psychological advantage to the deranged Ragnarok, who may not even care about wins and losses now.RR: And here he comes … and he’s got a microphone in his hand …GR: Hey Fang … I saw that you left your precious family at home … aren’t they pretty, all huddled together, fearing the random noises of the night … Oh, I went by your house … your wife is so pretty, your daughter so precious … I just had to …RR: That’s it, Fang’s had enough and now they’re brawling in the aisle!

He’s going to do it …CF: Look … out of the dressing room … it’s DAVID BRICELAND!RR: Briceland kicks Abbadon out of Ragnarok’s hands and here’s a right, another right and he clotheslines Ragnarok out of the ring … Ragnarok grabs Abbadon and walks off … what a coward!CF: Briceland is checking on Fang as Ragnarok disappears beyond the curtain … Fang looks to be in rough shape …RR: Hold on …out of the back … it’s Jenn Briceland … she’s clutching at her stomach … she’s bleeding … NO!

But he’s a champion now, and he’s got the opportunity of a lifetime here.CF: And here comes his tag team partner … and I use that term loosely because these two are on the opposite side of the spectrum when it comes to getting it done in the ring … Where the hell is Luni going?

They’re both out … Peyton Dowdy is charging the ring … Reed covers Luni for the World Tag Titles:1!2!3Matthews pulls Dowdy out of the ring!

The US Champ and the World Champ are out on the floor … Luni grabs a chair from ringside and is going to go for something wild … Matthews to his feet … JM-ASSACRE ON LUNI!

BUT PAYNE ISN’T COUNTING IT!RR: Wallace is getting to his feet, but Reed is going completely insane … he’s won this match maybe 3 times already if Payne would just count the damn pinfall or counted the submission … Reed is in Payne’s face … talking trash … Payne shoves Reed back! Wallace shoves Reed back … right into Payne, who lifts Reed up … INVERTED DVD! Wallace can’t believe it, but now he’s the new World Heavyweight Champion …CF: Luni’s on the top rope … He leaps … LUNI SUPER DROP ON MARCUS PAYNE! He’s still tag team champion!RR: I think we better do something before more titles change hands … Foster has headed into the ring and separated the five men, most of whom are out of it … Foster has the title belts …He hands the US title to Jarred Matthews. Matthews holds it up … Jenny Rovero’s breasts some where are shaking with happiness.He hands the Tag Team belts to Luni … Luni offers one to Matthews, but Matthews tells Luni to keep it … I guess Luni needs a partner now … could it be Hellkid?And he holds up the World Title, and he hands it to Wyatt Wallace.

Clients and prospective clients invariably ask about the validity of I Opt. This Blog is meant to define the dimensions of validity in a language that anyone can understand.MOVING FROM SPECULATION TO FACTSIn final analysis, validity is an argument about whether your theory can be trusted. In the case of I Opt that subject is a theory of the behavior of groups and individuals.A theory is just a statement of what causes what. Validity is a tool we use to move up on the scale toward fact.DIMENSIONS OF VALIDITYCONTENT: This means that the components of the tool you are using (e.g., statements in the I Opt Survey) relate the theory in a meaningful way. The Net gives assurance that the I Opt tool is measuring what the theory is talking about.FACE: The respondent (e.g., person who took the I Opt Survey) agrees with the diagnostic. The I Opt validity study tested this along four dimensions and each met or exceed the academic p< .05 (less than 5% probability that the results are due to chance) standard.DISCRIMINANT: This dimension of validity assures you that things in the real world that should not relate to each other do not. I Opt met the discriminant validity test with a significance level of p< .000000000000000000000000000000000001 or that there is less than 1 chance in a gazillion that this result was due to chance. CONCURRENT: Concurrent validity says that the results (e.g., I Opt diagnosis) relate properly to other things outside of the theory being tested.

Fang off the ropes a third time and he takes Ragnarok down with a spinning heel kick!CF: The fans are going absolutely bonkers now!RR: Raggy’s getting up though … kick to the back of the leg, kick to the chest, kick to the leg again, kick to the chest but it’s caught by Ragnarok … ENZUIGIRI BY FANG! Ragnarok escapes!CF: Oh wow.RR: Dropkick by Fang and Ragnarok goes out of the ring … Fang’s getting ready … hold on … what does Ragnarok have in his hands? NO!CF: He got him with the handle and not the blade, thank god.RR: Ragnarok rolls Fang in … it’s academic now … he lifts him up … LUCIFUGE down! He’s standing over Fang … he’s … he’s … going to stab Fang in the chest with Abbadon! He’s going to do it …CF: Look … out of the dressing room … it’s DAVID BRICELAND!RR: Briceland kicks Abbadon out of Ragnarok’s hands and here’s a right, another right and he clotheslines Ragnarok out of the ring … Ragnarok grabs Abbadon and walks off … what a coward!CF: Briceland is checking on Fang as Ragnarok disappears beyond the curtain … Fang looks to be in rough shape …RR: Hold on …out of the back … it’s Jenn Briceland … she’s clutching at her stomach … she’s bleeding … NO! DEAR GOD NO!CF: Ragnarok has come back out … there’s blood on Abbadon … He’s laughing … he disappears but Jenn is bleeding … her stomach has been cut open! I’m going to check on her …CF: The doc is out to check on both Fang and Jenn … David is in shock … Rich is out there to check … I can’t believe that Ragnarok would do such a thing to Jenn like that … Fang is coming to in the ring … He sees the commotion in the aisle … he goes over there … he and David have respect for one another … that’s why Briceland made the save, but at what cost? But he’s a champion now, and he’s got the opportunity of a lifetime here.CF: And here comes his tag team partner … and I use that term loosely because these two are on the opposite side of the spectrum when it comes to getting it done in the ring … Where the hell is Luni going? He’s hopped the guardrail and is headed into the stands …RR: I don’t get it … did you notice Matthews has brought his own chair with him to the ring … he’s making a promise that the JM-assacre will be performed tonight!CF: Before we get to the opposition, let’s explain the rules:#1. Matthews up again and Wallace goes for a hip toss but Matthews counters with one of his own … Both men go for a dropkick and now they stand, head-to-head …CF: These are two even competitors …RR: Hold on … is that Peyton Dowdy in the crowd with Luni? Back drop suplex by Wallace but Matthews flips out of that … he pushes Wallace into the ropes for a roll up, but Wallace holds on … Matthews charges and Wallace back body drops him over the top rope and onto the floor!CF: Incredible move there by Wallace … Wallace springboards to the top rope …RR: SPRINGBOARD SOMERSAULT PLANCHA by Wallace! Reed is down and he grabs Matthews and tosses him into the ring … he wants to make the pin:!Payne isn’t counting?CF: Reed and Payne are in each other’s face … Luni’s coming down from the bleachers … he springs onto the guard rail … huricanrana on Wallace on the floor! He rolls Wallace back in and he goes to the top rope …RR: Matthews rolls onto Wallace for the pin …1!2!LUNI FLIP OFF THE TOP ROPE ONTO BOTH MEN!CF: Well, that put an end to that count … Reed is in and he whips Luni into the ropes … tilt-a-whirl backbreaker down! Matthews dropkicks Wallace in the face and Wallace falls to the floor … Matthews follows … ASAI MOONSAULT! They’re both out … Peyton Dowdy is charging the ring … Reed covers Luni for the World Tag Titles:1!2!3Matthews pulls Dowdy out of the ring! Reed’s out and he and Wallace roll Matthews into the ring … Double whip … Double clothesline is ducked and Matthews off the far ropes with a spinning heel kick that takes Reed out! The US Champ and the World Champ are out on the floor … Luni grabs a chair from ringside and is going to go for something wild … Matthews to his feet … JM-ASSACRE ON LUNI! Matthews for the cover:1!2!3!YOUR WINNER, AND NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS … WAIT A MINUTE … They’re partners?CF: Payne realizes his goof, so does Matthews … RESTART THE MATCH!RR: Matthews sets up the chair … Off the ropes, off Luni, off the chair to the top rope, PLANCHA TO THE FLOOR! Matthews is going to feel that in the morning … Reed throws him into the ring … Wallace to the top rope … Reed gets Matthews on his shoulders … DOOMSDAY DEVICE! Reed for the cover:!Payne is not counting any pinfalls by Reed …CF: Look … Wallace is barking orders at Reed …RR: Reed drags Luni toward one of the corners … Wallace ascends to the top … 450 Splash onto Luni’s knees! BUT PAYNE ISN’T COUNTING IT!RR: Wallace is getting to his feet, but Reed is going completely insane … he’s won this match maybe 3 times already if Payne would just count the damn pinfall or counted the submission … Reed is in Payne’s face … talking trash … Payne shoves Reed back! Wallace shoves Reed back … right into Payne, who lifts Reed up … INVERTED DVD! Wallace can’t believe it, but now he’s the new World Heavyweight Champion …CF: Luni’s on the top rope … He leaps … LUNI SUPER DROP ON MARCUS PAYNE! He’s still tag team champion!RR: I think we better do something before more titles change hands … Foster has headed into the ring and separated the five men, most of whom are out of it … Foster has the title belts …He hands the US title to Jarred Matthews. Matthews holds it up … Jenny Rovero’s breasts some where are shaking with happiness.He hands the Tag Team belts to Luni … Luni offers one to Matthews, but Matthews tells Luni to keep it … I guess Luni needs a partner now … could it be Hellkid?And he holds up the World Title, and he hands it to Wyatt Wallace.

Clients and prospective clients invariably ask about the validity of I Opt. This Blog is meant to define the dimensions of validity in a language that anyone can understand.MOVING FROM SPECULATION TO FACTSIn final analysis, validity is an argument about whether your theory can be trusted. In the case of I Opt that subject is a theory of the behavior of groups and individuals.A theory is just a statement of what causes what. Validity is a tool we use to move up on the scale toward fact.DIMENSIONS OF VALIDITYCONTENT: This means that the components of the tool you are using (e.g., statements in the I Opt Survey) relate the theory in a meaningful way. The Net gives assurance that the I Opt tool is measuring what the theory is talking about.FACE: The respondent (e.g., person who took the I Opt Survey) agrees with the diagnostic. The I Opt validity study tested this along four dimensions and each met or exceed the academic p< .05 (less than 5% probability that the results are due to chance) standard.DISCRIMINANT: This dimension of validity assures you that things in the real world that should not relate to each other do not. I Opt met the discriminant validity test with a significance level of p< .000000000000000000000000000000000001 or that there is less than 1 chance in a gazillion that this result was due to chance. CONCURRENT: Concurrent validity says that the results (e.g., I Opt diagnosis) relate properly to other things outside of the theory being tested.

-ne Taliban Commanders Hang Three In Southern AfghanistanBy Jerry GarnerTaliban forces hanged three men in the Southern Afghan province of Helmand Sunday. Namatullah Khan, a villager from Musa Qala, told the Associated Press that the body remained hanging in the town square for hours before the townspeople were courageous enough to take it down for burial.The Taliban told the other people of Musa Qala that whoever gives information to the government and our enemies will be punished in the same way as this informer, Khan said.NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has remained out of Musa Qala, leaving the fighting to be done outside of the town.

-ne Thirteen Sights From The Horse ShowHey y’allThis week I am attending the Lexington Junior League Horse Show. It’s one of the Triple Crown shows for American Saddlebred horses although there are classes for other types of horses and ponies as well. If you look closely at this picture you’ll see that the jumbotron and I caught this beautiful three gaited horse at the same time.I am SUCH a geek ;-)6. This is a very lovely five gaited horse I wanted to get a shot of his tail because it is so beautiful. This five gaited horse is racking—each foot hits the ground in a four-beat rythmn —while this lovely three gaited horse is cantering -a three beat gait.12.

Today, I put my hand on the floor.Bujangasana: I’m in a holding pattern in this pose. I came in deeper today than I ever have before.The Marichyasana Diaries: I can easily bind wrist in A, B (Mari B is becoming my very favourite pose in the whole world!), bind to fingers in C.

-ne どうも。小原です。楽しい楽しいG1ラッシュも先週で終了。記憶に残るのはなんと言っても『第74回日本ダービー』。唯一の牝馬で３番人気のウオッカ（四位洋文騎乗）が優勝した。牝馬のダービー制覇は64年ぶりらしい。アサクサキングスが気持ちよく逃げ、直線も押し切るかと思ったが、中団からウオッカが鬼の脚で伸びて差し切り。２着がアサクサキングス、３着はアドマイヤオーラで３連単は3-16-14で215万5760円。知り合いの伝説の馬券師はあっさり的中。じっくり話を聞いておくべきだった。残念。伝説の馬券師の裏情報は不定期に垂れ流していく予定。お楽しみに。

I fought head winds all the way to Whitehall and then cross winds all the to Cardwell. Great scenery and a 10 mile break from the wind.I climbed out of the canyon and the winds (cross this time) were back. The funny thing about wind is that there are winds you like (tail winds), winds you really don’t like (head winds) and winds that can kill you (cross winds). At one point, a truck came by and the wind it created coupled with the cross wind, hit me so hard that it felt like I had actually been punched in the face.

31 demonstrators acquitted and discharged of attempted murderThe Sessions Court here today acquitted and discharged 31 people charged with attempting to murder a police officer during an illegal assembly organised by the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) in front of the Sri Subramaniam temple in Batu Caves, near here, on Nov 25.Judge Nursinah Adzmi made the decision after allowing the application by Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail to withdraw the charges against them.Prior to this, all the 31 claimed trial to a number of charges, including attempted murder under Section 149/307 of the Penal Code.However, out of the 31, only six including five college students were acquitted and discharged of all charges while the rest are still facing other charges.The six are L. Thiyagarajan, 31, K. Thinagaranpillay, 23, A. Vasantarao, 19, S. Ramesh Kumar, 22, S. Mugilan Dever, 20, and G. Suman, 20.Of the remaining 25, 16 changed their plea to guilty to the charge of causing damage to seven cars and two gates of the temple under Section 149/440 of the Penal Code.Eight of the 25 also changed their plea to being in an illegal assembly under Section 27 (5) (a) of the Police Act 1967 while another accused, to an alternative charge of displaying criminal force to put fear into the police officers during the illegal assembly.Nursinah also allowed them to be freed on bail of RM500 each in one surety.It was clear under Criminal Law theory that the charge of attempted murder could not be sustained and all of them would be free. However, if the full trial is to take place, it may take several years with several postponements, as was the usual cases, and that by itself will cause tremendous hardship and stresses on the families and the victims.The A-G knows, and this is the strategy… by arrest and charge them for attempted murder, it is an unbailable offence, and they would have to be sent to Sg Buloh jail till the dispensation of the case at the court, who is facing serious backlogs on criminal and civil cases.This is what Mohd Kamal Abdullah said in his Blog Kamal-Talks:[Quote]The fabricated charge of causing hurt to the police officer seems really absurd. The government and attorney-general has stooped so low in prosecuting these innocent people just to prove that they are strong, powerful and can do anything. From this episode, it is clear that there is no justice for the poor, ordinary rakyat. The rich and powerful can create any situation to cause harm to these poor souls. [unquote]Thank God! Now they can go home and be their families and also take care of their families.In a separate case, Six murder accused were freed by the High Court without their defence being called.Justice Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim threw out the case against the six because he found that the prosecution had not done enough to locate two crucial witnesses to justify the use of their police statements in their absence from the trial.The judge said the prosecution had therefore, failed to prove a prima facie case against Muhammad Hussein Abdullah, Muruges Arumugam, Tiagurajan Sinnasamy, Arul Krishnasamy, Siva Munusamy, and Munisvaran Ramachandran.Without their statements, there is no proof that the First to Sixth Accused are involved in this case, the judge ruled.The six were alleged to have killed Regka Singh, 45, at a vacant house in Kampung Semangat, on Feb 21, 2003, between 11am and 6pm.The judge also said the prosecution could not prove that the injury sustained by the victim had led to the victimlink

ESRB Rating: M for Mature, Possible Ranting, Mild RavingAfter reading Greg’s post over at Games*Design*Art*Culture (the topic being the GTA: San Andreas hot coffee modification) I admit to being a little peeved. Then I re-read it.I hate that I agree with Greg on several points. But then, there are some things I disagree with, as well. Balance.First, the idea that these minigames exist in any versions of San Andreas is questionable. The best info I can find is that some of the content for these minigames exists. How much? Nobody’s sure, since the minigames utilize assets already present - CJ, some house interiors, the girlfriend models - and essentially rearrange them into a soft-core rhythm game.The hot coffee mod itself is, well, it’s a modification. By all accounts, one Barton Waterduck discovered unused code in the PS2 version and used memory hacking to suss out the minigame. Of course, we aren’t sure exactly what was in this initial unlocking, because the current mod has been drastically altered by modders (anybody want to get the unaltered content and show everybody?). The PC version allowed even more editing. Such editing was necessary in order to get the content to a playable state.In other words, the original content has been changed. The most I’ve seen of Rockstar’s content would hardly qualify for an MTV reality show. A few later mods show the girlfriend’s nipples. Woo. I know that in the US we find a wardrobe malfunction inexcusable, but give me a fucking break.To actually get the mod to a format that could be considered even mildly pornographic you have to use the hot coffee mod in conjunction with the nude girlfriend mod (which is an end-user hack). And even then don’t expect penetration.I have a feeling that the reason for locking the content away had several justifications. That (1) Americans definitely can’t handle shit like this, as is evident even when it isn’t included in the game proper (2) rhythm games are boring and there are already too many of them in SA and (3) it adds nothing at all to the tone or story of the game.In fact, it’s possible that Rockstar North, located in Edinburgh, simply didn’t see a problem with the content, or that they might try to release it in the European versions and simply lock it for the American version. After all, you can actually see real boobs on TV over there, and, miraculously, their civilization hasn’t collapsed.Greg’s suggestion that, if this is the result of a rogue developer, that Rockstar should dig him out, crucify him, and make a public apology is, well, ridiculous. Maybe, as I suggested before, they simply didn’t think it was a big deal. Maybe they’d tell us to lighten the fuck up and have a, well, whatever they have in Edinburgh. A pint?I can’t find any mention on the ESRB’s website concerning the inclusion of content that requires special coding to unlock, since, by most software licenses, such hacking of the code is a violation of the software license.In other words, the hot coffee mod would barely qualify as an easter egg. It’s not reachable through gameplay, or a menu screen or to anybody that doesn’t go out of their way to install the damn thing.If we’re trying to say that hidden code that’s sexual in nature automatically demands an AO rating . . . I heartily disagree. The American Pie movies had content that’s comparable (if not worse) and they were rated R, which according to the MPAA means that those under 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian - which is less restrictive than the ESRB rating (which makes no mention of M content being suitable at any time for those under 17).It certainly isn’t a violation of the ESRB contract, so far as I can see.In fact, on the ESRB’s site they state that their ratings also take into consideration how such content elements are depicted and used in the context of the game. Since the hot coffee mod is not an actual part of the game, any charge that the rating system is flawed is bogus. There is no context for the content (wow, that sounded Johnny Cochran-ish).The ESRB’s president, Patricia Vance, in response to the political fracas, said, Assemblyman Yee has been on a crusade for years to undermine the integrity of the ESRB, and in so doing, generate support for his legislative agenda. His latest attempt to win political points is to claim, without any legitimate basis, that a game rated for ages 17 and older with explicit content descriptors prominently displayed on every box has been inappropriately rated.Which leads to the questions - are 17-year-olds (the lowest age of the M-rating) mature enough, assuming they modify the game, to handle horribly simulated software-rendered sex? Do we really want them re-enacting the boring, mechanical way their own parents make love? Should we keep encouraging the rhythm method?Grand Theft Auto is particularly resistant to modification - they don’t release any kind of mapping tools, they lock their file format, basically they expect modders to fend for themselves. And the modders do. So when something like hot coffee comes along, it’s because a very competent hacker was able to pull out worthless code and make something out of it.And, seriously, there is no safe way to protect such content from being hacked. Not in an age where CSI posits pulling conversations off of clay that encoded as the clay spun.So why didn’t Rockstar just delete the little bit they had finished?Greg makes the assumption that any decent version control system could have done away with the content easily. I see where he’s coming from on that, but it begs some questions big time - So Rockstar can’t possibly have a bad version control system (never, ever assume that displays of competence automatically exclude incompetence)? That a project so large can’t have any trouble managing content? That anytime a AAA title is released that has some useless code or art assets locked away then the company has a bad version control system?That’s a lot to assume. There can be many reasons for locking away content rather than removing it. Maybe removing it causes unexplained errors. Some of the code or content could be re-used elsewhere, so rather than trying to extract just those needed bits it all gets left in. A company honestly just might not have time - small changes can make big bugs. Maybe some of the mechanics for other rhythm games were derived from the hot coffee segments, so it would’ve been necessary to go line-by-line, recompile and completely re-test.The point is that there are plenty of possible reasons why the content was left in. And maybe Rockstar did figure that some enterprising hacker might draw out this information and do something with it. So?What it comes down to is that San Andreas shouldn’t be in the hands of children. If we want to argue that 17-year-olds are far too immature to handle some mild adult content, but that an 18th birthday automatically gifts them with wisdom, well . . . please hit your head against the fucking wall (obviously not even my 25th birthday gifted me with wisdom - *sigh* there’s always next year).Because we see no problem with those same 17-year-olds shooting cops and jacking cars. Or hunting down your former friends for betraying you. Or killing deliverymen with an RC airplane.Of course, this argument goes back to the old sex vs. violence debate.We Americans, as a whole, are particularly thick-headed about this - we like our violence extreme and our sex repressed.People make sex dirty; Violence is always dirty, and vicious, and tragic. But somewhere we got our wires crossed. Lucky us.I personally don’t have a problem with depictions of violence. But I do find it particularly stupid that we demonize sex so fanatically while simultaneously allowing more and more blood and gore to get through. Some equity would be welcome.Where I do agree with Greg is in his estimation of the effect that the hot coffee mod is having on the public image of video gaming. It does encourage the censorious blue-nosed faux-Democrats (though I would add in the fanatical far-right fascist fucks) and their political manipulations.And I can see the reason for his claim that this could’ve been part of Rockstar’s publicity plan. Controversy sells more units. Though it does seem a little roundabout, not to mention belated. San Andreas has already sold a shitload of copies. Stirring the hornet’s nest of legislation-happy American p
