kinda odd since tons of games outsource programming to asia and that's where Sony's based so their tools are more based on asian design and logic and all that and Microsoft is based here so most of their development tools are based on our culture and logic. But I guess Sony's tools can actually just be that bad.
I tell programmers group for Advanced VB class how much they suck and they're semesters away from even looking for jobs:-P That program would have been done twice as fast and twice as well with people who actually cared about programming enough to put some effort into it (and 4x if I cloned myself)
Movie tie in games almost always suck because...well...movie people aren't game people and they certainly don't hire game people. Disney has done way better than anyone in the past with that cuz they at least give it a decent try and umm...Kingdom Hearts rocks lol. But guess what! In 2010 guess what's coming out for movies! Splinter Cell the movie, Devil May Cry the movie, and Onimusha the movie. I kid you not http://imdb.com/List?year=2010&&tv=on&&nav=/Sectio ns/Years/2010/include-titles&&heading=7;All%20titl es;2010
If it got to the top 40, if I was them, I would totally make a recording company meet to talk over dinner at a fancy restaurant and pretend to be interested then say I'll be right back then get up and moon them and run out on the bill. I think their popularity would drop simply by selling out so they're right, they don't need some big, greedy, money whores breathing down their necks telling them what to do and where to go and all that BS.
well geeze if it's that visible, it must be close. We should have landed on it! Or at least caught it and dropped it into the ocean to fight global warming lol
well, you'd probably know this...maybe it's just me but light can't pass though pure copper last time I saw it so how does the light do that? Is it actually a tunnel in the copper? Why didn't they use a super reflective element instead of a slightly dark one (dark = absorbs light) and one that won't warp under minor heat and create huge refractions?
there's a percentage based one from 2004 with the top countries listed with their % of spam sent but I couldn't re-find it. Keep looking, it's incredibly accurate. About 14% of worldwide spam comes from South Korea. Only like 5% from china. I think 8% from the US. Nigeria's scam rating according to DNSSTUFF.com is 12 and I'm pretty sure it's on a scale of 1-10. Indonesia is 6, Israel is 3 as well as Pakistan and India if I remember correctly.
I repair computers for a living you stupid anonymous british coward. Go drink some tea and rethink how many plugins and fixes and alterations and customized settings you have in Firefox. I have met TONS of people who were told to use it and then just about everything past displaying pages on the web stopped working. They tried to buy shoes at a site and it said SSL didn't work. Another family had flash crash every time a website contained it. When people aren't getting paid for their product and it doesn't have to work perfectly, it usually sucks. Not that the people getting paid to make IE aren't asshats but in case you didn't see the story on slashdot, the same % of people have major complaints about Firefox as IE, there are just more IE users so it sounds like that one's worse.
not if it's moving (e=mc2) lol
but I think you calculated that way wrong. If it has 27% the radius, it can't be 2% the volume without practically being a nuetron star. The moon's mass is (in kg with 24 0's stripped off) is 0.073 and the earth's mass is 5.97 on the same scale. But the gravity in meteres per second squared (for some reason) is 1.6 for the moon and 9.8 for the Earth and if you divide those out, you'll see that they're not linear. Also, density affects gravity in a given area greatly too.
don't you think masses of spammers are going to screw with wikipedia strategically on purpose so that it doesn't work properly for that if it starts to work very well to block them? They should just stop being afraid of being called racist and super-filter every e-mail that comes out of South Korea, Indonesia, and especially Nigeria, etc. Type spam map into google image search to see how blatently obvious it is to see where the spam comes from. Something like 98% of spam can be pinned down to 0.01% of the world by square footage. If they added fuzzy logic instead of alterable AI and only block e-mails from south korea with the word vitamin and not block ones from Nebraska with the word vitamin, then the problem would be decreased dramatically.
Compare the amount of spyware, adware, malware, badware, annoyware, and whateverthehellelseware to the amount of actually decent software written for IE6 and I think it's pretty obvious that making it harder to work with is a good thing because it will make it a lot harder for the bad people. And as for the good people...they can write firefox plugins cuz all the cool people who want plugins use that (until they wanna buy something or do anything complicated or secure, then they use IE)
if it's in a cluster of stars that's really old, it's probably had time to suck up several and normally I don't think we'd be able to tell if say it ate five stars and got 5x bigger (well the event horizon goes out further, it doesn't actually get bigger) but if I remember correctly, gravity increases exponentially when mass is added, which is why the moon at 1/3 the size has 1/6 the gravity as earth so if it sucked up 5 stars, it would look like a couple hundred times larger and be quite noticeable.
AHHHH! As a programmer, I can tell you the absolute #1 biggest problem by far with software today. It can be best summed up in the phrase "we'll patch it." Why did N64 games have less glitches than most Xbox games? Why are about 99.9% of tattoos done perfectly? It's because if they're not perfect, the creators are screwed. The only reason that software has gone completely downhill is because people don't spend the time extensively testing every single feature in any program! Management makes them rush or they get lazy and release some crap program that is either not fully tested or actually has known glitches that are hard to fix, and they just figure they'll patch it later. Even if they do, the customer has to use that piece of shit software! Take AIM Triton for example. Tons of beta testing and finally on the release, the mute function doesn't work, signoff rarely works, it crashes every 30 minutes at least, there's basic issues with just sending a plain text message, it freezes up compeltely if you try to paste something in from slashdot (iunno why just slashdot but that's all it happened on) I don't even want to know what kind of sick people let that out into distribution but wow. So that's why software took a dive.
no no no, outside people bitched but the gov didn't step in and say take it out or go to jail. Someone at the festival made a decision to have it pulled from the competition, NOT the gov so it's not a freedom of speech then, it's just someone caving under external pressure.
if they can get it to reflect, or if they did mean reflect when they said interact, that means....high def mirrors are coming, yay! I don't think people would buy em though lol.
Questions about freedom of speech, huh? Okay, I can explain it! Freedom of speech means you can make any video you want. Freedom of speech also means that if people are extremely offended by a video game, they can freely tell the game makers that. Since the decision to remove it was made internally, not forced by external people, I don't see a problem here because nobody's having their rights infringed.
why don't the tobacco companies merge with the oil companies then if they're so similar. Then you just know eventually someone will make a careless mistake and BOOM! That'll kill two very evil birds with one stone:-)
If I lived around the impact zone, I'd be thinkin Ebay:-D If I remember correctly, people tried to sell off parts the last time something like that landed in the US but a lot got poisoned and stuff cuz it was hazardous
I can say from experiences that ANYTHING is better than the AS400 so it probably won't be worse no matter what you do. Chiseling stuff into stone tablets would be better. Ncurses is alright I guess, but I'd reccomend Visual Studio 2005;) lol jk
They don't have a single actual read/write speed rating given in the whole article and you know what that means. It's not as fast as they say cuz they tested it in unfair circumstances or something. But still, it'd be sweet to have a solid state hard drive, especially in iPods since they break A LOT with their current storage technology.
I've got an even smarter system than that...my car is actually too ghetto for someone to want to steal...the ultimate anti-theft technique! Actually, I have 9 cold cathode neons and 40 LEDs on 2 different computer power supplies which are on a massive 800 watt inverter that also runs a set of Logitech X-230's and 530's which are horrendously loud and clear and soon it will have a 400 watt RMS JBL powered sub on it too but anyway, it all just looks like a bunch of scary, ghetto ass wiring and junk if it's not powered up but it looks (and sounds) like a $1000+ setup when it's on, plus it's a 99 mercury tracer so with all that combined, it's totally bitching but nobody would steal it lol. Oh and it has a ton of upgrades under the hood that you can't see from the outside:)
electronic circuits (without LEDs) don't work as displays, displays like plasmas, LCDs, and CRTs work as displays. And it specifically says "electronic paper devices that could be used to store large amounts of text and other data" so like I said, they can't seem to decide what it does...but it's gonna be big! lol
why would they invent a flimsy medium like that to store data when there's amazing new stuff like holographic storage from InPhase (800GB+ per 2" disk) What am I gonna do, file it in a file cabinet instead of in folders on my computer? Yay, what a leap of technology. But then again, they said they're plastic circuit boards and circuit boards don't store data so I'm going to have to agree with the first poster in that it makes no sense and confuses me greatly.
Industry experts expect market demand for this technology to approach $30 billion by the year 2015
lol, riiiiiiiiight. Just like Vista and those Japanese internet equipped toilets.

they just might send in the US army to Paypal's headquarters and go get it (yeah, it's all digital but come on, you know imagining it is fun)
