NO actually, its better to show him the very serious side first. It taught him that guns are serious business. A.22 feels/looks/sounds more like a toy then a killing weapon. Better for him to experience the gravity of guns and gun handling. Guns are very serious things and far to often people treat them more like hammer than an instrument designed solely to kill.
Realistically, if i had a half full clip but felt i needed more, i would pop out and STOW the half clip. Magazine count is a very dull mechanic in video games.
I would LOVE a game that penalizes snipers ALOT more. So sick of someone running with a sniper rifle, stopping for.1 seconds and picking me off at close range. Sniper rifle should be almost useless at close range other than a blunt weapon, period.
Hate to break this to you, but officers in progression raiding guilds 'pore over reports and time sheets, evaluating performance and telling people they cant come to the next raid' etc. In MMOS there are surprises like a patch that extends into night or servers that are unstable. Thats a big deal to 40 people standing around who were scheduled to raid.
It might not be AS serious as work, but there are very similar stresses as a guild officer.
You are still managing people to accomplish a goal you cannot otherwise do by yourself.
In closing I would like to add that video games are part of real life, they are not this separate entity from 'real' activities. You dont go into a new plane of existence by logging onto a wow server.
THE closest I put to that on my resume is Network Admin of my university's gaming and media server, which to be honest was quite a feat to get permission for. The school did NOT want a student admin.
Good intentions rarely excuses malfeasance and is usually non-exonerating. You can have the best of intentions and still be found guilty. The law does take intent into account, but it isnt a free pass.
Exactly this, lawyers game the system, and in the process everyone else pays. There is no reason lawyers should be allowed percentages of settlements, EVER. That, to me, is a CLEAR violation of ethics. Lawyers should be paid standard rates, not X percentage when the subject matter relates to law and precedent. Sure if you are a hollywood producer, X% of profit is fine and ethical, but in the legal profession the consequences are too great to allow such freewheeling gaming of the system for profit at the expense of justice.
I have Cox internet and live in the next town over from Irvine. It is expensive but its very reliable and fast. I have the mid tier plan and have no problem pulling in 2 HD netflix streams. Powerboost is noticeable and does get you watching movies very fast. Their premium cable service is terrible though, extremely overpriced for what you get. I only get basic cable 2,4,7,11,13, WGN, PBS and minor locals in HD for $20/month, its cheaper/easier then trying to get an antenna put up on my condo.
A video game is a model, a simulation. Its not much different then a sculpture. The same rules you would apply to whether photographs of the statue are art you would apply to video games screenshots.
This is it exactly. The reason we rake apple over the coals more so than other companies with similar issues is because Apple blatantly and without shame chooses form > function. This time they went as far to try and show off their fancy antenna and are paying for the consequence now. This entire episode can be described by one word, hubris. Hopefully this will teach apple to reign in their design aesthetic a bit.
Your analogy is a bit flawed. It is an order of magnitude easier to squeeze out frames on a fixed LOW resolution platform like the Wii. Its quite something else to optimize it for resolutions up to 2560x1600.
WHy is it that even though I'm set to sync with NTP, my computer time will vary by minutes, even after a month or two? Its really shocking that my computer is this terrible at keeping time.
The display on my Palm Pre is awesome in direct sunlight. I was honestly shocked the first time i was out hiking and using the GPS and it was perfectly usuable and enjoyable. I probably wouldnt watch movies on it in direct sunlight, but for just for digesting information ive never seen a screen like it. My old XV6700 was completely unusable in sunlight.
I dont consider Vader 'redeemed'. He still did far more evil than good. He might have had a moment of clarity at the end, but that doesnt make up for the evil he sowed across the galaxy. IT was only because of Obi-Wan and Qui-gon that he was able to astral project at all.

Starcraft II will never get the wide stigma that WoW has attached to it.

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed....It is insignificant compared to the power of GPU processing.
MoH beta is going on right now too for Steam BFBC2 owners. Speaking of which, my download just finished!

Those sound like mobile vid cards, hence are only supported by their manufacturer, and usually never listed on spec req's for games.
You do know the definition of insanity right?
Not the same thing at all. Xbox/PS3/Wii are devices meant to CONSUME media. A calculator is a tool meant to do work. Analogy fail.

Hate to link , but in researching some other past apologies, i found Kotaku had a nice list made up. http://kotaku.com/5578254/apple-engineers-totally-wrong-nintendo-misjudged-excitement-and-other-great-corporate-excuses

What I want to know is why the INTERNAL clock varies so much that its noticeable within a month or two.
A man with a watch with neither of them moving knows what time it is. If either is moving relative to the other, you cannot be sure.
The GPS satellites are corrected to take relativistic distortion into account, leap seconds are trivial compared to that.
