I mean, really, who looks at that beard and thinks, "I'm gonna steal from that wizard. No way his bag has any exploding magical components in it or anything."
Game publishers the world over probably just thought to themselves, "Oh crap."
Publishers of any medium are less needed every day, and I think a lot more people just realized it. Why even bother, if you're a big enough name, to try to get funding from a publisher when you can cut out the middle man?
Why should they do that when you're going to pay for 150+ channels anyway?
Cable/Satellite won't change until more people start cancelling their subscriptions.
When we contacted Silverman, he confirmed that the original statement has been taken somewhat out of context and provided additional clarification. 'AMD is a leader in x86 microprocessor design, and we remain committed to the x86 market. Our strategy is to buzzwords buzzwords buzzwords buzzwords buzzwords buzzwords.'
I think it's fairly obvious that Facebook's enormous success is at least in part because so many businesses have gotten on board. Even little mom and pop stores have "like us on Facebook" stickers everywhere. Which in turn makes people, even old people and such that aren't usually so tech-savvy, want to check out this Facebook thing. Which makes more businesses want to sign up, and we have a nice feedback loop going.
Yes, people need to be on + for its success, but Google has just taken too long to get the ball rolling. There was a brief surge of interest when all sorts of people were trying it out, but then everyone but tech people simply went back to Facebook where they can play games and get malware and be marketed at.
By advanced calculus do you mean multivariable calculus or an undergraduate course in real analysis? I know quite a few US universities call their undergrad analysis courses "Advanced Calculus."
I subscribed to Linux Journal because I wanted to support a Linux publication. I can get everything I cared about from Linux Journal from a variety of blogs that I already subscribe to, for free, via RSS.
Yeah, people not showing up for things is a dick move. But if anything, faking a phone call is actually a more respectful way to duck out of a conversation. Let's review the alternatives. 1) Wait around for the other person to wrap it up when you have better things to do. 2) Tell them to their face that you have better things to do. (Disclaimer: I have never faked a phone call, because I can't lie worth a crap. But I can understand why people would do it.)
When you start generalizing and blaming "young people" for things, you have finally lost all perspective but your own. Also, you can have your lawn back; I'm going to go do fun things somewhere else.
It's not the immaturity of children that bothers me, but the immaturity of adults. Not having my broken toys replaced was how I learned to take care of them. If every broken toy is replaced, the child never matures. Children need to start learning, as soon as they're able, that their actions have consequences. Just because one does have the money to replace everything one's child breaks doesn't mean one should.
Kinda bummed that Shenmue beat out Skies of Arcadia in their category, but I have a bias there.
The real question is, why the hell was Jet Grind Radio, an arcade-style graffiti-em-up, in the same category as a traditional JRPG and an adventure game set in 80s Japan?
Clearly this was put together by someone who simply isn't a gamer.
Actually, to me it sounded like it was put together by a committee of people, only a minority of which are gamers. "What? Shooter? That sounds silly and violent. What do you do in those games, shoot at targets? Let's call it Target."
This was not Amazon's pricing algorithm. This was the individual pricing algorithms of third-party robots selling on Amazon's marketplace, working together in a delightful feedback loop.

How does that work?

I am extremely ok with spider farming being infeasible. Accidentally wandering into a spider farm is the stuff of nightmares.

18-40 is a pretty broad demographic.

This is a committee, guys. By definition they never get anything done.
and every time you click "allow update" you run the risk of breaking everything and ending up with a retard-o-interface
Slackware, my friend.

Fun fact! "Respect" is arbitrary.

Not to be "that guy," but it's time to be that guy. How do you justify buying your kids replacements for stuff they don't take care of?
Stop making Snow Crash seem even more plausible than it is already.
This is why I prefer the phrase "roll your own."
Cutting its throat with a toothbrush?
Example #2: Amarok, the most kick-ass music player there is.
Fun fact! KDE runs pretty great on my 7 year old laptop with Intel built in graphics and 1.5 GB RAM.
Quaff the fucking manual? (Yeah, yeah, I know, but that really was the first thing that popped into my head.)

I do have a beard, dammit. Stop stereotyping me!
