My fix was to move the bundled lib32 directory to lib32.o and apt-get the standard system packages for the few libraries it then complains are missing, which are mostly SDL related. All that was left was an incompatible system libstdc++, so I re-created lib32 and copied the old version from lib32.o back.
And Linux users wonder why their OS isn't more popular...
When you're walking around the street talking to your significant other, although in public, you don't necessarily want someone to follow you around, take notes of what you're saying and keep track of where you've been.
Cellphone or not, just because someone can track you and listen in to your conversations easily, it doesn't mean that you've given them permission to or that they should do it on a whim.
Last I checked, Austria's economy was going quite well. They weathered the financial crisis while keeping the unemployment rate at 4.3%. Their debt to GPD ratio is at 72%, which is a bit high but still not as high as the US's 96%.
Of course, Austrian Economics is a bit of an odd way of looking at things but it does explain in part why the markets collapsed even though inflation was in check. Basically, the inflation is maintained artificially low due to the monetary policies of the Fed; the cash injections and lending practices in place keep the inflation rate in check but doesn't stop the factors leading to financial collapse. This in turn tricks Keynesian economists into thinking that the economy is going well, because according to their models, it is... until it implodes on itself, like we've just seen.
Did you really think $9.99/mo for 1 DVD at a time + all the streaming content you can eat was going to last forever? Those are *startup* prices. They do that to grow the business, then they jack up the prices when they need to be profitable.
Bzzt, wrong. Netflix already was profitable. [wired.com]
Not only did they saturate the market, but the cost was prohibitive.
Having one game and the possibility of buying songs "à la carte" would be much more viable. I don't want to pay 20-40$ for 3 or 4 songs that interest me, but I'd definitely pay 1$ per song that I really do want.
Risky behavior is something that kids need to get out of their system at a young age. They learn risk vs. consequence that way.
Now kids either seem to be scared of everything or scared of nothing due to never having any consequences for their actions either from their parents (which is another debate) or from hurting themselves while playing.
This might explain the rise in car accidents involving teens that we have here (Quebec), the kids think that they're invincible because the never hurt themselves before, so they take hard curves at 120km/h and fly off.
Blocking access to a specific site on demand from a specific interest group just opens up a huge can of worms. You do it for one interest group and next you know, everybody and their cat is demanding you do the same for them.
After all, if one group can demand it in order to defend their business model, then certainly other owners of IP can too. For example if somebody reposts a post of mine (of which I automatically own the copyright) in part or in whole, they're breaking my copyright - I think I need to request that access is blocked to every proxy in the planet from Finand.
Then there's the whole "morality" groups - how about, say, muslim groups demanding that access to sites of newspapers critical of Islam is blocked, pro-democracy groups demanding blocking of critical sites, anti-democracy groups demanding blocking of pro-democracy sites, misguided animal-rights groups demanding blocking of access to bonsai-cats and more.
After all, as the argument would go, those sites facilitate the spread of defamatory posts and even posts that incite hatred on religious or political grounds (yes, there are places were this is against the law and said law is vaguelly enough written that pretty much everything fits until it comes in front of a court and is proven).
Actually, like a lot of large enterprises, the send out generic messages to people who violate their terms. Facebook knows full well what terms were violated, they just can't be assed to personalize the notice and they don't want to handle requests for more info.
Woa, woa, woa, relax guy! The US still has enough nukes to turn the whole of Iran into glass and after that they would still have enough left over to turn Argentina into a huge sinkhole; and this is without spending an extra 700 billion.
As for defense of the homeland, a few well placed bunker busters would be quite enough to calm down any saber-rattling nation. Plus, the simple fact of staying home and not meddling would also reduce animosity towards the nation.
I wholeheartedly agree with you that the wars in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan are where the US should cut costs though.
Right now it's just a big sandbox, I think that the Adventure Update (due in September at some point) will turn Minecraft into an actual game. It promises NPC villages, strongholds, an XP system and more.
Think about it, should I go through security and blow up a plane with 300-400 people on board, or should I just blow up/derail a cross country train, or just strap tnt and nails around myself and stand in the middle of Time Square, or on a ferry, or in a shopping mall, or in the crowd outside of the Today show, or...
Seriously, creating terror is incredibly easy and there's nothing the government or TSA can do about it.
Looking at how much money is spent "securing" the people and robbing them of their rights, imagine what could have been accomplished instead... universal healthcare? Better school funding? Reducing the 14 trillion dollar debt?
I understand what you're saying, but even that doesn't explain it because the 2nd hand dude most likely would not have paid the full price. So they're trading 1 player (full price guy) for another player (2nd hand guy). This makes no change to the total number of players on their servers.
To only thing that might explain this, is that the 2nd hand market prolongs the longevity of the game, which means that SONY needs to maintain the servers longer and can't use the hardware for another title's online features.

Imagine a zombie horde where all the zombies are replaced by normal people, but they still act like zombies. Still has the squick factor.
Well that explains why I'm uncomfortable around teenagers, thanks!

Standards? You really think that the NSA needs anything more than a hunch to do this?
Only 4 more years? That's what we said last time he was elected, and what did we do?
We gave him a majority government this time... wtf?
Just look at riots, group mentality and perceived anonymity makes people flip cars over, loot and set fire to stuff.

Woopsies. To err is human in case you didn't know.

Perhaps, but so far the community has managed to "tie it together" on its own, maybe the same will happen with the adventure update?
Right now it's just a big sandbox, I think that the Adventure Update (due in September at some point) will turn Minecraft into an actual game. It promises NPC villages, strongholds, an XP system and more.
Wouldn't it be easier and less obvious to just glance over someone's shoulder instead of standing there with your iPhone in your hand?
Funny, Voyager was my fav series after TNG. I couldn't stand DS9 though...
Hopefully this research will lead to better prosthetics.
I mean, the stuff in Deus Ex is pretty awesome and that's only a few years away according to the game, so them scientists better get crackin'.
Committees for all! All of the World's problems can be solved by creating committees, woohoo!
1. Tin lunch box
2. Stuff
3. Shovel
4. ???
5. Profit?!
There, easy. When did we start calling backups "time capsules"?
Finally, someone that gets it.

I get my nostalgia fix by blowing some air into an old cartridge and firing up the NES. Yup, my 20 year old NES is still plugged in and working :)
