   @kevie, the `my games don't work on the new platform' issue also works in the other direction, for !Linux babies: http://ur1.ca/2pisy

   @kevie, I'm also thinking that Section 2 (`Gatekeepers') of this essay applies as well to #games as to anything else: http://ur1.ca/sxyn

   @kevie, I guess I can see people wanting to keep games they already have..., but preferring one set that they don't yet have over another?

   @drysdam, I guess I actually never explicated my stance on side-effects in programming, to you. It's *not* "they're side-effects" :)

   "Alcott mentioned... that Thoreau's facial hair "will most assuredly deflect amorous advances and preserve the man's virtue in perpetuity.""

   Wikipedia says: "Thoreau also wore a !neckbeard for many years, which he insisted many women found attractive." http://ur1.ca/2pgwu

   @laurelrusswurm, no YouTube here due to (among other things) security issues. I guess I'm more afraid of Flash than I am being shot... :)

   @laurelrusswurm, don't you guys have 10x *less* population-density?

    @laurelrusswurm, oh--scroll down past the assault-weapons business. And note that McDonald v. Chicago was only *this year*....

    @laurelrusswurm: It's waaay more complicated than that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_(by_state)

    @laurelrusswurm, which part of the US is your basis of comparison? The part where guns are legal, or the part where they aren't?

    @laurelrusswurm @zotz, good question; 3x, or +10 per 100k(?). And I wonder how the kill-counts break down (who shot whom & `shot vs. ?').

    @laurelrusswurm, cross-reference against US state laws: http://ur1.ca/2p8j2

    @laurelrusswurm, `a countably-small number of people in all of Canada who *talk* about it' is not exactly a `culture of violence'....

    • laurelrusswurm
    @laurelrusswurm, if you break the stats down, you'll find that violence, like everything, correlates w/ culture more than w/ regulation.

    • laurelrusswurm
    @laurelrusswurm, the US doesn't have uniform laws (or violence) throughout; e.g.: compare Boston vs. Kennesaw vs. anywhere in New Hampshire.

    @laurelrusswurm, I really like this !freeculture sticker: "Got a quarter? My culture is stuck in this vending machine." http://ur1.ca/2p76h

    @laurelrusswurm, I was with you right up until "unrestricted handguns"; are you Canadians so dangerous that you must be kept away from guns?
