Comment on Danish government builds Minecraft world of Denmark from geodata

Even if this is a minor "show-off" project, it's a good reminder for the power of open data. Location services, emergency planning software, tons of other stuff benefit enormously from this kind of openness.

[Crazy fun idea]:Basically, given Denmark's open geographic data one could potentially build an MMORPG which takes place in Denmark and have the terrain pre-generated. I think I would call this one Hamlet: The revenge.

Wouldn't Hamlet: The Revenge just be Hamlet? :P Imagine a Hamlet roleplay server
