I don't know about U.S. but the Team Fortress 2 servers I've been visiting have been rather nice. There have been a couple of exceptions, but usually I can expect to have a nice game. (Sometime losing badly, sometimes not)
That there's coding error in a voting system is not a non story. Especially as it is something that should have been found in testing. This doesn't seem like fraud, but that doesn't mean that it isn't important. Personally I would like to know if you can still vote empty after selecting a candidate.
Well, if the actual problem is the feedback and the power needed for pushing keys with pinkies, perhaps a laptop(-style) keyboard would help. At least on the one i'm using, it's pretty much impossible to partially press a key, so there's feedback on successfull keypress.
Although, I do remember having a keyboard once that required less power from the keys on the left and right side of the board, something like that might be helpfull as well.
Indeed. I tried keeping a monitor in pivot at work, but couldn't stand the rendering of text. And the viewing angles of the monitor weren't too good either, which didn't really help.
Works somewhat well if used to examine scanned documents though.
The point Apple didn't see in netbooks is that they were cheaply made and underpowered for the tasks they're trying to accomplish with an affordable price.
We have a netbook (Aspire One) in our house. White I wouldn't use it with Visual Studio, it definitely is not underpowered for the tasks it was bought for. That is, writing, web and music. In addition to that, while it probably is cheaply made (I mean, it can't have cost too much considering the price), it certainly has high build quality. (Although I think there's one thing that should have been designed better: the switch to turn wlan off and on. It works, but doesn't feel as durable as the other parts.)
And I find this information new and strange... I thought the empirical evidence was colonial windows tend to be thicker at the bottom, due to gravity and the extreme viscosity. But Wiki can't be wrong, right?
From (bad) memory: The way the glass was produced causes the glass to be thicker at some side(s?) and the people building the houses put the thickest side at bottom. (The thing is, I don't remember if this was a fact or only a theory)
Yeah, it's not entirely honest, but this is not really that much different than when obi wan kenobi said that Vader betrayed and murdered Luke's father.
That's an awesome argument. With that, I've partly forgiven GOG ^.^
I would check that “Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer” option in the Macromedia control panel is enabled, as some games seem to require that...
As a right handed person I have no problems with timing jumps (etc) with my left hand. (Consider typing for example.) My left hand pretty much does what I want it to do, it's just not as accurate in space.
But just as it's obviously impossible to find a theist who does not in fact have a religion
I wonder about that. What about people who just 'generally believe in God'? They have belief making them theists, but is that enough to call it religion?
And the opposite is the atheistic fanatics who preach like they had a religious calling. Religion is a curious thing indeed.
He never said that it isn't unusual, only pointed out that the numbers you were using were not correct. Picture this: An indie game gets featured and recommended 'everywhere'. In this case, would it be unusual for the game to get more than 60,000 sells? (For comparison on a different scale Halo 3 had 1,700,000 pre-orders).
Even if PayPal automatically flagged the account as 'unusual', when they checked it, a single minute (or less) with Google should have told them that this was legit.
I mean, it couldn't be just a case of there being very little demand for wire transfers due to the pervasiveness of credit cards, resulting in higher fees on a per-transfer basis. No, that's FAR too unlikely.
You can forget my previous question. This is the last time I'll ever answer to you.
And you couldn't be more wrong about me or my wife. (Whom I shouldn't have mentioned, I will remember this lesson.)
For person who was complaining about generalizations you're making a shitload of assumptions about people you have never met. I will consider you a troll from now on. Thank you and have a nice life.
you are simply pushing the necessity and power of religion... why?
I'm sorry sir, can you rephrase that? That doesn't exactly sound something I would do. At least not the necessity part. Plenty of social power though.
how do you make your living?
And not that it is any of your business, I am an agnostic atheist and make my living by programming. Oh. And my wife is religious. Anything else you want to know?
So you don't take 'forbidden' too seriously, I know that there are plenty of people who do or have done so. And have met some of them. Hell, I married one of them.
Admittedly I generalized and didn't say so, but around here the big families 'all' belong to a specific (subset of a) religion. The religion is rather strict and hard to get out of. Using contraceptives is forbidden and they actually follow this rule.
And yes, of course it depends on everything. I hope the children do get to make their own choices.
In principle I'm also against huge families like that, but I'm not so sure about your conclusions. Food, shelter and medical care aren't enough that's for sure, but are you quite sure that they won't get what is needed from the huge family? It's not like the 'normal sized families' don't often have their own problems and still end up producing well adjusted, contributing members of society
Folks continue to be surprised that Apple can sell products despite the "weakness" of not having $feature (wireless and FM on the original iPod, floppy disk drives, CD drives on the MacBook Air, Flash/USB on the iPad, and so on ad infinitum). These missing features are individually weaknesses, but for a large section of the consumer market, it looks like the resultant products are considered stronger as a result.
And so, as the $features actually are slowly being included to Apple's products are the products (in your opinion) getting bloated? Or are you saying that after all these years we finally get FM the way it is supposed to be done?
They don't actually force you to print stuff even if the support is being added.
Personally, if I were to buy an iPad, I would certainly print train tickets and perhaps flight confirmation and check-in slips. I could have the information on the iPad (or something I'm actually using), but I kind of enjoy not having to worry if I'll run out of battery with surfing, playing videos and so on..

Bender runs Linux? Cool.
Not sure if this exactly answers your questions, but you should probably check this out: QT for mobile plarforms

I can sort of appreciate writing your name in Katakana if you know what's wrong with it ^.^

So why are people using paypal then?
Didn't test, but I'm pretty sure that enter can also be copied.

you claimed the determining stereotype at bar was religion.
Where did I do that? And what does that even mean? Are we talking about a bar or the bar?

It's still broken, if you can sue a wrong party and win. You shouldn't need to worry about defending yourself (legally) from idiots.

Not having RTFA, I'd say that it depends on their religion.
