If there is an afterlife possible in our universe, the information necessary for it must be compatible with its physics.

But so far, down to particle physics, nothing seems compatible with the idea of an out of body soul that is able to process this information.

The best thing back then (as a young adult with too much time) was how easy you could hack a lot of the online forums or servers.

searching altavista for phpbb forums using a version vulnerable to a given exploit or using cross site scripting waiting for someone to bite it, and then upload 99 shell everywhere you would gain access.

It really felt like having superpower.

Most people don't know this truth, in particular here in France where the name Cousteau still holds its aura.

I know because I watched and enjoyed the shows as a kid and most people at the time liked him. The only person I knew back then who didn't like the man was my dad (a sailor).

What I mean is the name is still strong enough to attract some interest.

Well I still think it shouldn't come as a surprise. We've got many example of successful industries with such culture, why would video game work any different.

> I am simply surprised they manage to produce anything at all in such a culture, let alone a hit game.

The same culture you can find in Holywood, where hundreds of successful movies with unrivaled popular impact were produced.

You see the content drive the audience and then the audience drive the content.

Too much broad interesting articles and it's not Hacker News anymore.
