You only get the server time once, then use the local clock to "advance" it. It'll only be off by a few milliseconds (however long it takes for the request to make it back). If you wanna get fancy, use their IP address to determine the timezone, everybody from porn sites to DNS servers are doing it nowadays.
Actually they are kinda doing that, which is pretty puzzling. If you can't send a robot to "destroy that bridge", you have to send a human, who could get killed. And if you start sending robots, then the other side will send their own robots, so the robots will kill each other. I don't know how the game theory works out in that case, but it seems like it's preferable to humans killing each other. I'm fine with advanced AIs having their own rights eventually, but what's up protecting these robots from combat now, which are just mindless hardware?
While I love bashing the govenment and their stupid monetary policy as much as the next guy (I honestly don't think the president understands how money works), currency exchange policies have nothing to do with this particular situation. Google pays the local developers in local currency, and there's no restrictions to exchange USD to Pesos, you can just walk into any bank with foreign currency, and they'll exchange it for you (at a shitty rate, but again, that's not Google's problem, they're just paying the developers in compliance with the local laws). Money is coming into the country, not going out, the govenment has no problem with that.
If I had to guess (which I do because there's no information about this so far) I'd say it's not worth it for them to keep offices here to deal with paying the local developers, since they're not allowed to take their profits from other services out of the country (due to the exchange restrictions), so there's no point in having local operations.
It is split, the multiplayer game is vastly different from the single player (different units, stats, mecanics, etc). They design each mode separately.
So what you're saying is North Korea went mass marines, no gas, and South Korea invested way to much in tech and they couldn't get their production up and running for the timing attack?
So they want to ban robots from wars, so that only real people die in the battlefield? What's the "game theory" behind a robot-only war? Whatever it is, it has to be better than sending 18 year old kids to fight.
There's probably a pantent for a "method or apparatus for an accurate display of progress", nobody wants to mess with that (but seriously most of my innacurate progress bars deal with unpredictable things like I/O, or non-uniform sets like loading textures and meshes and animations all together, so who knows how much time it will actually take to process the same ammount of data?)
I usually avoid the localized UI, especially for technical stuff. I honestly understand better a program in the original english than in my native language, simply because most of the words from the "internet era" don't really have a standard translation (and if they do, I've never heard of it, because the english word is everywhere). I usually end up having to think about what they hell they were trying to translate to understand a text. Especially for programmers, stick with english.
If he's switching to the distro where the UI looks like they tried to copy OSX (and failed), audio is broken, and all your searches are sent to Amanzon (?), then RH must be *really* bad.
So what? I bet they also don't support genocide, but they still have the nuclear weapon arsenal. Just in case. You never know when you might need to blow up a planet, to "liberate them".
There's 2 flaws in that argument, 1) if you want to stream games from a "powerful server", you need to own a powerful server to stream games from. Who's more likely to own those servers, Microsoft and Sony, or some dude who can put together a SoC? 2) The whole idea of "cloud gaming" is ridiculous, why are we still pretending that it's real? Games need the lowest latency of almost all software. If anything, the next generation of consoles will try to tie you to the cloud (because owning all the infrastructure instead of having it in your user's living rooms makes more business sense), and that's why they'll fail.
Yeah but the thing is that back then, the users of AOL and Compuserve didn't really matter, they didn't drive any money or opinion or attention from anyone, nobody cared about them. Nowadays, whatever a million idiots do on Facebook or Twittwer decides how millions of dollars are spent by companies and other idiot investors. It's super annoying.
The $3.99 guy is within his rights not to give you the source code of his app. If you buy it, then he's obligated to give it to you, because he's distributing a binary program that has GPL'd code. Afterwards, you are free to distribute that source code all you want. That's how GPL works.
NVIDIA doesn't lose any competitive edge because NVIDIA sells hardware, not software. I still have to pay money for their hardware even if I can get their drivers for free as GPL. And there's nothing really that "edgy" in an OpenGL driver, anyone who has programmed for their devices directly knows it.
This is most likely a patent/licensing problem. They probably licensed some of the driver components, like the glsl compiler, or there's some patent on some ridiculous thing like the algorithm they use to sort pixels or whatever.
On one hand, they got the guy who broke he law, that's a win. But on the other, it makes it look like he's being jailed for expressing his opinion about something controversial. That's a not a win, that's a loss.

Would it kill you to at least use the full phrase once in the summary so we know what it's about?

the virtual machine that runs your Java code?
I heard about this new application callled "NCSA Mosaic", maybe that has potential to adopt javascript and make it big.
google would have blocked their account all together wouldn't they? I hope they follow their own terms this time too.
To be fair, pulseaudio is garbage, I'd never feel guilty about breaking it.

You misspelled AMD.
yeah let's worry about how this will affect the 1st world countries, those are the real victims here
I don't think they understand what a vaccine is?
Yeah like what if his runs someone over with a bus?
