it's short and sweet. Might be old news .. I live under a rock.

Anyone have something a bit more informative? I haven't bothered to search.

Who says videogames are a waste of time?

the guys should not serve 20, where's your sense of justice.

pretty cool how the gamer community did all the work though. makes me feel fuzzy n stuff.

Good god, for leaking the source code of an unfinished video game?

I mean, yeah, it's a multi-million dollar project but it's not like they destroyed anything. Besides causing a lot of grief over at Valve, what have they done that puts them on par with, say, a first degree murderer?

Give them the Kevin Mitnick treatment.

FDM would get you life, or death.
Stealing a car could get you 20. Bit different.

talked to a friend of mine on-line last night (yes yes, i have freinds...

) He keeps tabs on stuff like this and worms and chit. He said that all in all it had the earmark of more than one person doing this. He gave me a bunch of details that were way over my head, but made sense at the time.

So as ususal, one guy get the hammer ...er.. or is that the axe? . .. ah .. the Spotlight!

I saw this on the local news last night, which kinda surprised me. Then I find out that Valve is located in Bellvue. Didn't realize they were local

.

Not that I keep track of where most companies are anyway

Is that because people don't live past 25?

Cougar · Post by **Cougar** » Tue Jun 15, 2004 2:53 pm

No, it's because a life sentance is a figure of speech. Think about it, 25 years in jail, you get out when well beyond middle aged and are left to pick up the pieces. What life have you got left? It works well. If you don't believe me I can quote some statistics if you'd like.

i thought life sentences were 27 years? or maybe its just ohio or maybe i'm just wrong. its not actually your whole life though, as previously noted. its whats decided to be long enough for you to not have the same life when you get out as you did when you went in.

why do you think the most ruthless killers that don't get the death penatly get multiple life sentences? do you actually think they ressurect them after they die for each life sentence they have to serve? keep their corpse in a cell? no, its just assurance that they will never get out, because nobody really outlives 3 life sentences, and if they do how dangerous can they really be by then?

Dunno, here in NY if you are convicted of a crime that carries a life sentence you can spend anywhere from 25 years to the remainder of your natural life in prison.
