He did live a comfortable life, with lots of restaurant visits, as I understand. But he died at a gym, after he resolved to get in shape, possibly after overdoing a strenuous exercise. I think one of his friends later remarked that it was typical of him to go for something at full speed as soon as he had made up his mind to do it. He just went at it a little too hard that time.
They likely won't fail completely. They will get some small victory, at least. Next time, they will get a little more. And the time after that. This is too important to governments to ever give up.
The campaign recently reached the halfway mark with over a month to go. A rule of thumb with Kickstarter is that if a campaign reaches the halfway mark, it will be fully funded by the end.
FFE was indeed released with an enormous amount of bugs. But once it was patched, which happened quite quickly, it was a gem. It had a storyline you could follow if you wanted, but if not, the entire Milky Way galaxy was yours to play with. There was a freedom of play that I've yet to see in any other game. But is seems ED will follow suit - without the bugs.
The first thing I will do then is buy a number of spammy links to be sent to my competitor's otherwise entirely white-hat site that currently ranks in 1st, thus making sure his excellent site never troubles me again. Meanwhile, he's too honest to do the same to my site, so I benefit.
This is called negative SEO and is not new. It's the reason Google haven't done what you suggest.
It's the same as in every country: comfort is everything. As long as Americans have their Big Macs and cheap Ford F 150s, no one is going to complain in any way that makes a difference. Take those away and you'd have a mass uprising. But not before. Do you think The Powers That Be know that?
My brother is an engineer at Boeing... he claims that this is the most screwed up engineering project in terms of cost in human history. I think he has a point.
I'm an engineer at Pratt & Whitney. I'll have to say that may be close, but Star Wars takes the cake.
Yes, that "Revenge of the Sith" was pretty abysmal.
I'm all for it. Because if Wing Commander gets remade, and then sells well, possibly LucasArts will be inspired to do the same with the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series.
And of those criminals, a significant percentage will be precisely the kind of criminals that take an interest in kids. Pedophiles naturally gravitate toward jobs and extracurricular activities where they know that they will have a lot to do with kids. How many of them are now given access to all the info they need to seek out the most vulnerable kids in their neighborhood?
That one percent of all spam emails should result in a sale seems too high an estimate. I have usually seen estimates between 0,01 and 0,5 percent, which is still pretty high.
Most legit websites selling something are hard pressed to get past the 3 percent mark, and that is with an audience that's usually interested in the goods offered, so-called targeted traffic.
How do you get an advance copy of Anathem? Amazon just pushed back delivery on my pre-ordered copy, and without the book, it's hard to see how this audio stuff fits in.

I would mod you up if I could. But I can't.
I agree fully with this. Well put.

Braben has some serious ambitions, and he has a tendency to deliver.
Good points. Would mod insightful if I could.
The O-rings were being eroded by exhaust during launch because the rubber got too cold to seal properly. So you're both right.

Sure you can: It's like a wheel.

...doesn't an invention have to be non-obvious to be patentable? Placing ads on a map on the web seems pretty obvious to me...
Heh. No one ever says Italy.

Ah, but surely this is a great opportunity to show some rover spirit.
Um.

when a company's main goal is to be acquired as soon as possible?
The five trillion tons of Clearasil must be starting to kick in.
dark matter. I hate that cheap cop-out.

Why was there even a single lawyer in on such an innocent call?
I won't buy this USB stick, it is scratched.
