  1. Re:Gaming imitating Hollywood? on Super Nintendo Classic Coming in September (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 2

    I believe this is due to nowadays better hardware performances. Back then, games had often to be optimized in plain assembly and took longer to develop.

    Nowadays, more high level languages and reusable libraries can be used and there is no problems deploying 200MB games on computers.

    Back then, most games were work of art optimized in every part of it. Today, games are optimized just enough to run on the available hardware.

    "ISP's"?

    WTF?

    Seriously guys, I'm not even a native speaker and I know that the plural comes without the dash. Right up there in the f...ing headline!

    Okee then, it is called an apostrophe. A dash is similar to a minus sign but usually wider.

    Given your low uid, I understand where you're coming from. I vaguely remember something similar to what you mention.

    Lately, I have noticed the glues used are basically edible. This has become a requirement in some areas.

    Now, how about an edible bar-code sticker?

    Then, we could have some serious talks about it on /.:

    Edible bar-code sticker VS laser imprinted!

    The last time I was burgled, the Police left me with an advice brochure on home security. Their advice on safes is that any which weighs less than a tonne should be bolted to (through) either roof beams or a solid stone or brick (not plasterboard) wall. Preferably both.

    There exist alternative and more portable solutions.

    Your "backup" host should be the most secured thing in your infrastructure. It doesn't even need to be connected to any network permanently, similarly to a CA.

    The backup system should always pull.

    Needless to say, if your backup host (or system) gets compromised, you are fucked since it has access to everything but nothing should have access to the backup system. This can be mitigated by recursively replicating the principle.

    Anyway, this is how I understand it. Comments anybody?

    Thanks in advance,

    On a regular basis, I agree. Nevertheless, carrying 4 or 6 at a time for a bet won't hurt you when you are young and you know what you are doing. Correct posture is important.

    But in the long run, doing it everyday, sure carry one at the time, at least for short trips hoping they are the most common use case.

    I have a friend of mine who used to jump off delivery trunks with fridges strapped to his body to impress the gallery instead of using the hydraulic lift. Back then, I told him he was crazy and that his knees were taking the hit. Today, he agrees.

    Short answer:

    I do not need to prepare because it has been part of the whole process for a while.

  19. Nah, you failed hard with your shit and you know it.

    Further, dividing it by something else and getting the same result has no effect on how you should present the data.
    And of course, dividing it by something else can give you a different effect if you're rounding. Consider a reading of some concentration of things being .004.
    With rounding, that's 0 percent, but 4 permil.

    And finally, you useless sack of shit, it does matter what you divide 0 by. It's not always 0.
    0/0 is undefined.

    Go back to marketing school please. According to what you write: 0 == 0.004 "if you round" thus you can print that on your labels.

    A side effect of this is that, in your book, 0/0 (0.004/0) is now infinite instead of being undefined so you have contradicted yourself.

  20. 0 is always 0. No need for a % sign.

    Proof:
    It doesn't matter what you divide it by, 0 is always 0.
    0/100 == 0/1000 == 0/10000 == 0

    Dam u dum.

    If you're quantifying something in terms or percent, you're counting the number of things per 100 (possibly different) things.
    You absolutely need a % sign if you're presenting other data as a percentage alongside the data which ended up at 0.

    Further, dividing it by something else and getting the same result has no effect on how you should present the data.
    And of course, dividing it by something else can give you a different effect if you're rounding. Consider a reading of some concentration of things being .004.

    You must be working in a marketing department. .004 is simply 0.4%

    0 is always zero. For traces you should use <:
    < 0.0001 % or < 1%, etc.

  21. 0 is always 0. No need for a % sign.

    Proof:
    It doesn't matter what you divide it by, 0 is always 0.
