Launching a 3rd bundle is definitely news. It indicates they've had enough success that this model is effective and not just a guess that a it is effective.
You leave off that the largest multiplayer was 9v9. Quake I had 8v8 and larger maps. There is no excuse for a PC game playing anything less that 32 player.
That being the complaint. They PhD's in biology are being trained not educated. They are being trained for one narrow subsection of the field in whatever it is they are currently researching. They are not being educated in the variety of skills necessary to replicate the environment required to continue in their field.
And the whole argument about education vs vocational training doesn't imply that education should avoid anything which might be useful.
Part of the problem is that they are training 10 people for academia for every position that comes open. If these people were being educated instead, they could take their skills to a wide variety of positions. Instead they are all being trained as though they were going to enter the tenure track, something which is just not possible.
I think the complaint is that PhD's in biology are getting trained for the specific task of a not just their field, but whatever their advisors happen to be working with. So upon completion they are only prepared to work in a very narrow subsection of academic biology. They've been encouraged to avoid such skills as writing, math and programming in favor of cranking out data. Skills which would help them win jobs where they could then do the research they've trained for.
On what would seem like the extreme other end from their experience, I'm working on a graduate degree in statistics. I feel like everything is opening up to me. While it is certainly math heavy, it is all about using math to communicate effectively. Skills that transfer to any number of areas.
If I have one regret from education it would be neglecting writing as I pursued math/sciences. In college I viewed it as something to be endured. Ever since going to work though, I value writing more and more.
The school you describe attending is not a Java/OO type school. I oversimplified speaking strictly about C. The point is that those schools using C or Pascal or a good chunk of other languages are teaching references and data structures and memory footprints and any number of things that are just unreachable and thus unteachable in the new Java/OO crowd.
You describe a rigorous program, far different from the typical program that stresses OO and begins students with Java as the base language for their CS career.
Around here, the C programmer is probably getting paid more and also have a plethora of offers any time he is looking. The OO programmer is going to be asked trivia questions about the default configuration of Struts 2.3 files or the MS C++ equivalent in a never ending series of interviews for big companies that don't write anything interesting.
The C programmer is probably pursued by a headhunter who knows what they want, the Java/C# programmer is typically pursued by a recruiter who will be some vapid grad who looks good and has no real skills.
It's two different worlds really. Sure all you Java/C# programmers can tell me how it is different for you in particular, but observing the process the last two years the C (and often C++) jobs were consistently better. Again I realize that C++ is OO, but that comprises about 1% of the difficulty of programming C++. If you're coming out of college and a company is recruiting for a C++, they'll train you if you come from a C-teaching university. In fact, they'd prefer a C-taught student over a Java/C# one any day.
In a lot of places it is also a highly unionized job. They can't be fired and often can't be bothered to do their job. It makes a slow process of driving through a toll booth even more painful when you have to wait for someone to get off their phone call to bother with your fare.
I came into programming from a math background. Every time I try to read his books, the programming stuff is wonderful and then he writes something about a math problem or two and I lose a week of my life.
Netscape also lost because it sucked. As of IE 3.02, it was superior to Netscape. After that the differences just got bigger. The idea of paying for browsers and even http servers was just not going to stick around for long, in any case.
So, as some infrastructure resides in the US, they are subject to US law.
Sure, maybe this means that Twitter doesn't have to delve into it using any resources located in the EU. But if TwitterUSA gets served with a subpoena in the US, has an admin in the US look into records residing in on systems in the US, then where exactly is the EU involved?
Sequels in the gaming world mean money going into development. Sequels in the movies mean that money doesn't have to go into development, it goes to the studios, actors, directors, basically everyone but the writers who are told, "more of the same."
I don't know, but I feel burned having purchased that annoying thing. It's loud too. There is no consideration for my ability to actually hear. I won't be buying *any* car with a backup beep inside the car again. I get to start my commute getting annoying while I back up out of my garage every day. Thanks Toyota. I know I'm backing up when I put it in reverse and the car goes backwards.

So what is 6 / 2x ? 3x? or 3 / x?
It's looks even more like 3 / x.
If you want to claim multiplication precedence, and you're writing operators everywhere else, you should drop in the multiplication operator as well.
This question is a deliberate mixing of styles, which is just plain bad.
Problems caused by bad government decisions can only be solved by additional government.
We'll get regulation done *right* this time, I'm sure of it.
"How does one get a company infamous for its shoddy customer service and comfortable, state-wide cable monopolies to act on an issue like this?""
More regulation, obviously.
This means that the PC player will jump through portals and dodge fire while the PS3 player stands on the button to keep the door open.
Because they think they can buy an iPhone for $49, then they complain that they are locked into certain providers.

But Shakespeare, after seeing the success of Macbeth, didn't bring back all the characters in order to have a sequel.

I went back to TF2 until BC2 came out.
Epsilon has always been vulnerable to attack by some smaller value of x.
Accounting sure. It's a very particular skill with very detailed rules. Nobody knows these without having studied them, at the very least on the job.
That said, I'll take the math or physics major over the business major who hasn't had an accounting class.
Nobody fails out of business to end up with a math degree.

He just got his name spread across the country for the price of selling the algorithm which will surely be immediately changed.

Angsty teen makes good after everyone believes in him? Yea, awesome plot.
Barnes & Noble has a "New Teen Paranormal Romance" section that you might be interested in.
