Here's a simple strategy. Design a module where your character walks into Bioware's headquarters and starts shooting fireballs and summoning stuff because they didn't get a job there. Now that'll get ya hired lol.
Why don't they just go with something general and obvious. If I open my inventory in SRO and find a Sierra Mist there to restore my MP and a Pizza Hot Pocket to restore my HP, I would think it's hilarious and I think that marketing would have an effect because people would buy those products for LAN parties and stuff just as a gimmick.
Isn't the main reason nobody wants to make city wide WiFi the security problems with it? I can see the headlines now "entire city's identity stolen." Seriously, with so many users, won't someone eventually go to a not so secure site and have their password grabbed? I bet they won't even disable the FTP protocol, which of course transmits your FTP password over the network in plaintext. Government ppl are stupid.
are you kidding? My TV does stuff I don't even know about yet. They're making them way too complicated now days. Of course, you're right about the adoption of TVs because back then a monkey could operate them
When I'm playing Unreal Tournament 2004, for all I know I am on a desert island cuz I'm only focusing on the screen. Some quantum physics theories say I could be anywhere or nowhere if I'm not observing it lol.
Also, it will come with a magic scanner that will determine if you're under 18 and not let U play it lol. But watch out when they release it for the Wii and you can add in your whole family as characters rofl
I HATE THAT GAME! I played it for like a year or two and omg I've never seen so many annoying little kids in one game before. The graphics are horrible, the gameplay sucks, the leveling is unfair at best, and there's tons of scammers and spammers. It's really a horrible game. The fact that it's that popular is insane but the gameplay is simple, which is why it's mostly younger kids. But to anyone over 15, it's unbearable. Most people in Silkroad Online, a free DX9 game with about 100,000 players, is almost all 18+ people and it's sooo much better to play with those age people instead.
So if BBC covered the story, where's the part about how it can be used to spy on their own people? Ohhhh wait I get it...the chips can be used in AI camera operations, gotcha.
Since like 75% or more of you are probably not programmers, breakpoints are things you set on a line of code that cause the program to stop running and pause at a certain point so you can look at stuff in the program and watch what's going on at that exact moment. It's about as useful as a trick as just plain freezing time so yeah, they're pretty bitchin and worthy of a patent. I still think other development environments would allow PausePoints where you type a command in a comment and execution pauses or something and get away with it:P
I couldn't think of a subject line, sorry lol. Anyway, gl with that takedown. If it does somehow magically disappear, they'll probably just move it to a host in a foreign country like...Wales or something lol. I don't care how many people get hurt from it because it helps expose teachers that everyone hates and shouldn't be working as teachers. There was one at my HS that definitely should have been fired. It's like to old saying, if one person says a teacher's a jackass then it's an opinion. When everyone says the teacher's a jackass, they better not be there the next year.
Just ban China. The gov would probably like that, lol. It's as obvious as 2+2 to figure out that most customers aren't in China and most sellers are. Just make a new instance of your game for China only like Silkroad Online did. In fact, that have like 5 instnaces for countries like Japan and Korea. Then the gov is happy, the normal players are happy (and can speak their own language too), the normal players outside the country are happy, and just the gold farmers are pissed. That'd show those evil, cheating, botting, hacking, gold farming assholes
good mentioning the whole copyright thing. Obviously the RIAA doesn't know how copyrights work lol. If they all of a sudden demanded money for music I produced completely by myself, I wouldn't just be able to counter-sue them, I'd send them to jail on huge criminal charges like attempt to defraud and extortion.
water pressure (which is equivalent to the weight of the water column above you) with gravity
lol, um gravity determines how much the water weighs and I'm pretty sure it goes up exponentially with weight. It's like how the more pressure you put around a firecracker, the "harder" it explodes. The more force applied to let's say a 10 square mile surface of a lake, the greater the pressure water applies on a tiny object in it. And it goes up exponentially because it's a...umm...iunno like one directional force working on a 2D surface which converts to pressure in a 3D area or something, I dunno. It's really late at night lol. The water pressure at the bottom of a 12 foot pool on the moon you would barely notice. At 2x Earth gravity, it would crush your head because that's 2x the gravity times the entire surface area of the pool, which I think you convert to 1D units and do the operation then re-multiply first which is why it's exponential. Something like that at least. Btw the person who posted the stats up there, that's the gravitational accleration rate. That's how much speed it gains in feet per second for every second it falls, thus the seconds * seconds. You know how much force it takes to accelerate something that much faster?!?! A LOT! If it's 5x the mass and only 1.5x the diameter, it would have such high gravity it's insane, especially considering the density it must be. I wish someone would figure out the actual downward force in pounds. It's probably dozens of times Earth's if not hundreds
Sorry but no intelligent life there. Nothing that weighs more than a couple milligrams could ever have the energy to move around on its own with the gravity from that much mass. The eath has triple the mass of the moon and 6x the gravity or something like that. So 5x the earth's mass equals....like a freakin lot of gravity! I would weigh a couple thousand pounds there. Even a little alien chipmunk couldn't move around. I don't care if they would get their energy from food or the sun or magic or whatever, the amount of energy it would take to take a couple steps or even just slither around at 1 MPH would be more than the caloric energy of all the creature's matter being burned and sunlight doesn't give nearly enough either. So yeah, anything alive there is standing still and is very small which means it can't possibly be intelligent. And before you even say it, a couple feet down in a body of water, any organic cell structures would instantly be crushed from the pressure. Water magnifies gravitational pressure even more since it doesn't compress.
When are all those idiotic web developers going to realize people HATE web apps. They have about 10% of the functionality of desktop apps, they need an internet connection to run, they take up TONS of resources on servers, they're glitchy, slow, unreliable, don't always work in other browsers than IE, are security nightmares, and might disappear any day along with your ability to edits the filetypes they make. Nobody likes web apps!!!!!
Oh yeah well I think politics are too violent. I'm gonna try and get CPSAN banned from TV! I don't want my kids watching that. It's out of control, people! There's a CSPAN 1,2, and 3 now!
who says you couldn't put an opener movie in one scene and the real movie in the second and only make the video controls appear on the second scene? That takes like 30 seconds to do. If people really thought it was a good idea, they would have done it already.
Halo 2 is rated M and I don't care what any report says, when I log into Live, there's about 50% screechy, high pitched voices yelling at me and each other and their dog and no one in particular.
hey, if the sharks can freeze you with their lasers now, that's bigger news than the daddy of Anna Nicole's baby lol *puts on his tinfoil hat to protect himself from the freeze lasers of death*
As a programmer I can tell you that it's not that confusing to keep "hate" and "sucks at it" separated. Just cuz most desktop apps suck doesn't mean people like programming robotic arms, cobol and RPG crap, or firmware more. That stuff is a pain in the ass! Plus, I'm a web developer and I hate php and javascript isn't any picnic either. ASP is fun but VB.net is better and easier. I can finish a more secure, easier, cheaper to operate program for the desktop than the web any day. Plus, HELLO, not all comps are connected to the internet.

If they put this much effort into making crappy movies not suck instead, they'd save a lot more money than trying to control every customer's lives
Why don't they just go with something general and obvious. If I open my inventory in SRO and find a Sierra Mist there to restore my MP and a Pizza Hot Pocket to restore my HP, I would think it's hilarious and I think that marketing would have an effect because people would buy those products for LAN parties and stuff just as a gimmick.

AOL's been pulling that exact kind of crap for years, why haven't they gotten criminal charges? They've sure had enough civil cases over it!

dude, they held a cell phone up to the instruments in an outside radiation proof environment and they went nutso after a very short time.
