Face it, ID's new bread & butter isn't making games, it's licensing the engine
I hate to break it to you but iD's bread & butter has ALWAYS been to get people to license their engine. While many of the games they've made to show off the engine have been great fun it doesn't change this fact.
No, it's doing precisely the opposite. It's double taxing current drivers which is fucking stupid.
But by double-taxing gasoline consumers, maybe that will shift the economics more in favor of all-electric vehicles (to avoid the double tax), which I'm pretty sure most people would say is a good thing.
So you're going to give me and everyone else the 30-50k to buy that all-electric vehicle so we don't get double taxed because of some asinine bill?
Basically there is a deficit, it has to be cut and the national debt has to be reduced. Social security has to be saved as well. This means only one option, we must raise taxes or die.
So then close all the corporate tax loopholes and have them pay their fair share. Stop letting companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc get away with playing shell games to avoid taxes.
You can't help but think that this is the way all programmng will be done in the future.
Maybe if all you ever do is create are throw away toy applications. But all the low-level stuff that apps like this are built on are still going to have to be done by someone other than a mouth breather that can't do anything but put some blocks together.
Why else is Slashdot pimping people to buy the book from Amazon? If you follow the link you will notice a curious person who gave this crappy book 5 stars and conveniently every other Packt book he reviews (which are apparently the only books he reviews) all have 5 stars too. It's also been established before that Packt has had their own employees posting positive book reviews to this site and around on others. But hey, keep flailing around about how Packt can't clearly be using shills to try to push books.
The i5-2500K is faster for the applications that most people are running which in many cases are single-threaded. Even when it comes to x264 encoding where the Phenom is faster, it's only by like a 10% margin at best. Not to mention that the Phenom is also more power hungry than the i5.
What's funny is if you follow the Amazon link you find a guy named Vamseedhar R. Sane who is the only one to give this book a 5 star review and he apparently gives every Packt book 5 star reviews. And people still think Packt doesn't clearly pay shills to advertise their books around?
What about the interface? I use it for hours on end daily on a 3 year old laptop and I notice absolute zero lag in drawing or anything else. Maybe you need to ditch the 15 year old dumpster-dived computer?
They made a movie company, because every time they tried to make a movie based on their comics, they'd either get massively ripped off, or the movie would be horrible, or both.
So basically they no longer get ripped off by they can still make shitty movie.
You do realize that Uwe Bole is basically an in-real-life troll, right? I'm sure nothing makes him more happy than seeing the nerd rage that happens whenever his name is mentioned or he makes a new movie that shits on some nerds favorite video game.
More like "free" is better than having to pay $200 to get windows.
Who actually pays $200 for Windows? Most people get it bundled with an OEM computer where the OEM is probably paying 20-30 bucks because of a volume license.
Some linuxes, like puppy, run in only 0.06 gig of RAM so no need to waste money upgrading perfectly-good hardware.
Sure as long as you have almost no applications installed and are doing next to nothing with your computer. Seriously, you can dumpster-dive core2duo systems with multiple gigs of RAM so trying to dust off some crappy 15 year old computer to run puppy linux on it is a waste of time.

That's exactly what this bill is proposing to do!

I'm so glad we have Linux, but without it, what would HURD look like?
The same that it does now? HURD was floundering for years before Linus ever started his kernel.

Change the tax code to adapt rather than double taxing the current drivers?

I wonder if anyone at Oracle realizes how they're continually mangling their image?
Most of the people upset at Oracle are not its customers and thus they probably couldn't give 2 shits.
Their office in Birmingham was founded much before you were born
Which makes the person you are responding to what? Apparently less than 6 years old apparently since Packt is only a 7 year old company.
What I think Oracle didn't count on was the amount of community support Sun relied on
Except for the fact that Sun's OSS projects were primarily developed in house by its own employees?
The day they require app installation for third party products to go through the "App Store" is the day I stop buying Apple computers.
And since they've repeated stated they won't be doing such a thing, you won't have to worry. They have nothing to gain by lying about it.

Visual Studio tend to be used by less skilled developer
Since when?

Obviously, this won't be settled until it reaches the Supreme Court
Or the more likely scenario is the circuit court will strike down this judge and the case will be refused hearing by the Supreme Court.
Sure for the person owning the phone, but that hardly is going to provide consent for the person calling you in states that require 2 party consent.
Yes, but they are showing off their ankles and hair. So risque!
Yeah, lots of pictures sexy...ankles!!

Meanwhile MS has just started chasing ARM.
And by "just started" you mean they've had versions of Windows on ARM for going on near 15 years?
Either: 1. Intel is going to build a non-x86 cpu with their fab -- highly unlikely.
Why is that highly unlikely? Intel has produced ARM chips for years and years. What is all that highly unlikely about it?
On my iPhone 4, I can't do that, no matter how badly I want to.
Only because you are ignorant of how to do so. You can disable it on iOS just like in Android.
