All precedents are abused. So what. When they are abused, litigate them. As soon as some idiot cops somewhere says that Fidos "woof" is a nod of approval to enter, that suspect will take it to court, and it will be litigated.

Why play a soccer video game when you can just go outside and play soccer? (Exceptions, of course, for those people with physical disabilities. If you like soccer and don't have use of your legs I suppose it makes sense, but I also assume this is a small minority of players.)

Why play chess when you can join the army......

And who gets to write those shell-scripts in the end? Who? Exactly, we, the techies.

So it may be a slight inconvenience for a time, but in the end we will only have to do what the shell scripts we wrote ourselves are telling us to do. Sounds pretty much like paradise to me.

Yes but will those shell scripts be written with vi or emacs?

It's a game, a big-budget currently-supported game, not made by Microsoft or Sony, that you can play on Linux PCs (not consoles)...

I must be imagining the copy of Team Fortress 2 that came in my copy of The Orange Box for the PS3. And yes, I know that the PS3 version is hatless, but it's got the same gameplay.

.....but hats ARE the gameplay,
