yea uh that's kinda what i was thinking i guess... i was thinking "of course they want people to think salaries are rising, how else will Robert Half summon the fresh meat?"
The police most certainly know, or at least have 2 plausible theories, but I think its up to the family whether anything is actually publicly acknowledged.
...why Tivo isn't suing the everliving shit out of DirecTV. Conversely, I would like to know why DirecTV even still claims to actually sell "DirecTivos" anymore. If you try to actually get one you just get a never-ending runaround.
I'm completely convinced the real long-term purpose of the Scrum/Agile methodologies is simply to further weaken any market competition naive enough to adopt it in the first place.
I think he meant to fire paintballs at his own license plate as a form of camouflage. Then he could blame it on someone else if accused of hiding his plate#.
Doesn't matter anyway, apparently I was too lazy to read it right too. They only added strict scalar type declarations for function parameters and return values; not quite the same thing.
Let us not forget either, that it was hardly the only high-profile hack on Sony in recent years which showed them to be exhibiting signs of severe negligence with regards to network security basics. In 2011 the PlayStation network was hacked, interrupting service for weeks and compromising the personal details of approximately 77 million accounts.
Hint to "network security" noobs working for high-profile businesses; storing the user's own passwords at the client-side, even encrypted, is a stupid, catastrophically naive approach to alleviating load on your authentication servers. Allowing global administrative access through the same channel once you've done this is doubly so.
Its also worth noting, the company you say "went out of their way" to port their game to Linux did nothing of the sort. They hired a third party (Feral Interactive) who has also ported several games other than SoM which were not catastrophically fucked-up at launch, and in fact include some of the better AAA ports available for Linux as well, suggesting that the original developers (not Feral) may be more to blame here for the sorry state of the Shadow of Mordor port than anyone is acknowledging here.
Incidentally though, in the case of Dying Light, they did actually after-the-fact work hard to improve performance based on user feedback, and had notable, if not complete success. They're both textbook examples of how NOT to port a game to Linux though, unless you own Microsoft stock.
If the SoM port wasn't literally the worst example you might have a leg to stand on here, but there are a number of ports that were significantly better done. In this particular case, I'm not bitching about a company that went "out of its way," I'm bitching about a catastrophic fuckup. For another example of a completely fucked up Linux release, see Dying Light. Most the rest haven't actually been nearly so poorly done.
Its nothing to do with the OS, its either drivers *or* the ports, but often a combination of both. AMD's video card drivers are plagued by serious performance issues on Linux (even worse than their Windows offerings) while in most cases the Nvidia Linux drivers are much closer in performance to the Windows ones. Throwing "Shadow of Mordor" in there for this test really skews the whole average performance comparison off badly, to a degree that is not representative of Steam's Linux catalog as a whole, because SoM Linux is in fact an atrociously badly done port with performance issues that largely have absolutely nothing to do with hardware or drivers, but really just a ham-fisted sloppy amateur port attempt.
You're talking right out of your ass here, or at best, projecting. Seek help, in case its the latter. Even such a bigot as you has the right to know his own mind.

How about you learn to EFFICIENTLY UTILIZE your hardware by writing highly-optimized code, first?
(Because its not his money the company is spending on this hardware, obviously.)
Really? How? By sending them all to US?

This was clearly meant to be a joke in poor taste, but its also the most plausible explanation for what actually happened at this point...

Horrors addressed: 0 ... but at least now you have the option of statically typing variables, it seems.

The Shadow of Mordor port is garbage. Glean nothing more from its particular benchmark than that.

I'd assume it already does for many people, one way or another, since it negatively impacts your ability to get hired at many companies.
