Hello Professor. How about a game of chess.

Hello Joshua. On Christmas of this year the IHT published an article about MGM studios battling over wargames. Not the movie, the domain name. The basis of the suit brought against Rogers Cadenhead, owner of the domain, was unauthorized use and registration of a trademarked item. Cadenhead registered the domain in 1998, three years prior to MGM's registration of the trademark.

Today the site is actally being used to sell war games, videos, and books. The movie, a 1983 cold war film about a teenager, played by Matthew Brodrick, who breaks in to a department of defense computer with full access to the nuclear arsenal with command capability over our defense strategy with our primary adversary - communism, debuted in 1983 and it looks like MGM, in 2001, was preparing to come out with a sequel.

I'm confused, but that's ok. What more do we have to say on the subject? Nuclear arsenals and the concept of defense at that level have changed so drastically that we are not nearly as concerned with the actions of nations as we are of factions, and individuals. There aren't treaties that would draw us in to war like they would have over 20 years ago. Besides, if you saw the third Terminator movie, you'd know that Skynet is going to get us anyway.
