Star Citizen has modified the core Cryengine to add and tweak the features they need, I imagine rebasing on a new Cryengine version would be a ton of work. Possible, but I wouldn't expect it for release time.
Sure. There are plenty of smaller, independent games coming out with interesting gameplay mechanics, stories, graphics, etc. Even some indy games that have done well and become big names (including one that still has yet to be released). If you think the games at E3 are all that's out there, then you're missing a ton of good gaming.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just pack everything once, instead of having to do it again after running through security? Optimal packing for me generally means that the things the TSA wants out for their useless conveyor belt scans are tucked deep inside my carry-on.
I was looking for specifics primarily because I've never seen a smartphone with shattered glass that could truly, properly function afterwards. The Nokia, though, could keep on chugging even with half its buttons exposed and the screen spotted with holes. And no, I didn't get that from an internet meme.
In Japan, in Korea, in China they do not have AA --- and their economies are growing leaps and bounds and everybody can attest to their technological achievements
Wait, you mean in a country with low ethnic diversity, there's no need for special measures to prevent ethnicity-based discrimination?!
Wow, so because there's a 0.001-0.005% chance of a reaction requiring serious medical treatment? That's really as close to irrelevant as you can get, that sample size is so small that I'd be surprised if the vaccine alone was the only cause of any problems.
Back when I was young I remember one of the older guys feeling the same way you do when I asked a lot of questions. He saw it as whining, but I was actually just trying to get a full understanding of the issues and why things are done the way they are, not complain about them.
That's my quintessential problem. I want to ask questions and learn everything I can about a problem before I start, because it will save me time. My boss wants me to stop asking question and figure it out myself, because it will save him time.
A (face to face) chat is only efficient for the person with all the authority. For the person expected to follow it, it sucks. There's no inherent record. There's little or no time for follow-up. There are so many pieces of needless filler "um," "ah," "you know," and so forth.
But this isn't the problem, the dilemma is not between a face-to-face chat and IM or email. The problem is bad management, caused by managers who don't know how to address their direct reports and ensure that their instructions are delivered appropriately. If Mr. Baby Boomer is perfectly fine with an in-person chat, then a good manager will know that and strive to speak face to face with them. If Ms. Millenial needs to use IM or Email, a good manager will know that and use one of those methods as much as possible.
Both my parents, both from rural areas of the Midwest, either had no refrigerator in their childhood or had one in late childhood (1960s). Icebox, sure, but if you were a farmer in the mid 20th century, which a lot of people still were, were you going to pay for ice in summer or just eat perishable goods quickly or less often? Cellars were useful in winter, smokehouses in summer, canning jars all year round, but a lot of people still didn't have an icebox, much less a refrigerator.
I wish I could find a luxury theater like that around here. The closest I can find will serve you at the bar, and then shoo you into your movie at the appointed time. They won't blink if you carry your alcoholic beverage into the auditorium, but they certainly won't refill it for you inside.
This is just like going to the "talkies" and realizing your favorite silent movie actor has a squeaky voice and completely ruins the picture. We're just trying to plaster 2D video games into 3D systems and hoping it works out alright, instead of building games from the ground up for VR.

Which is why you posted this pearl of wisdom as an AC.

Yep, everything nostalgic in this world started with the Millennial generation. Totally legit.

With trillions a year paid in to help the fossil fuel industries and fuck all employement in the USA from it, this isn't worth noting.
This. Sounds like this article is just a massive troll on the part of oil interests.

There are many smartphones on the market more durable than your 3310.
There are?! Which smartphone can out-tank the Nokia?
I'm not surprised at all, I'm just guessing it's not as highly politicized as it is in the States.

It's not an entitlement when it's a kickback!
The FAA shouldn't have any jurisdiction over 62 miles (100km) up.

What the hell is nsnbc.me? It looks like total junk.

Well this got political fast.
Oh yes, please! Workplace anarchy!

True in many ways....HOWEVER, this latest generation has been more coddled and has more of an entitlement attitude than previous generations.
Oh my God, you're so right!
But that's not the wealthy people that politicians are talking about when they discuss raising taxes on the wealthy. The point was irrelevant.
30K per year is barely a living wage for the average family of 4. Try 300k a year, and you're getting closer to the definition of "rich."
