So what would happen if a guy decided to drive without a license in USA, got caught for it, and then in court used this as a defense? Cause if he gets off scot free then the article would technically be correct, although they would probably fix that loophole soon afterwards.As far as I know (which isn't much, admittedly), as a defense in court it doesn't work at all. The sovereign citizen movement is pretty much founded on pseudo-legal bullcrap based on the assumption that the US government has no real authority over anyone, and that by saying the correct magic words you can be absolved of virtually any crime. When this inevitably doesn't work, the assumption is that the government is so corrupt that they're denying you your rights and thus you're still innocent (at least in your own mind).
Even if the article were correct about that point, it doesn't mean that the ideas it advocates are right. The rest of it devolves into a conspiracy theory. The DMV was not created to scam people out of money, it was created to prevent idiots from killing each other. As far as the whole forfeiting rights angle goes, I'd rather forfeit part of a constitutional right than get run over by a guy who doesn't know how to use a steering wheel.
Anyway, once they fix that loophole, the article will devolve into irrelevance.

Only so long as there is Fun in the Losing. If a glitch causes you to lose a game, you probably won't enjoy the experience much unless the glitch is especially amusing.I mean, everyone here knows Losing is Fun.I like semi-open world games. I mean, sure, games don't have to be open world, but if that's the case then you should give me infinite ammo or have a system like in Resident Evil, or let me select my loadout like in some games I can't remember. Otherwise it feels very oppressive and I always worry about being stuck in an unwinnable state, like in Metro Last Light where you will run out of knives very quickly if you aren't careful, and then you will have to go through hell and back to get more knives.I don't mind unwinnable states, as long as they aren't caused by bugs or UI.
