woaw, even i never had a google+ account suspended (yet), and i sure as hell don't use my real name either, what did the man do? i really need to check that guy out
by 2100, it's all too slow, too slow, i want it now, in this lifetime please, i'm not sure if i'm gonna want to come back here anymore. I already posted a request to be stationed at the other side of the galaxy next life.
probably quite exceptional , here we got three national languages and people are supposed to speak two (i dont know how exactly but german is official but it doesnt count in schools somehow, not that anything else makes sense), something that should have been replaced a long time ago by native language+english for each side of the country (that way everyone could actually understand the other side) since almost no one really is bilingual when you look at the real world here. The other side is 'them', pretty normal i suppose
i guess the wait a while will be inevitable , i havent seen one single bit of info on the dyi/oem-version for home users who like to build their own rig and update one component at a time. You can either upgrade or buy a whole new rig with w8 preinstalled ? Sounds to me like yo-ho-ho across the world, and a bottle of rum ofcourse
The thing is, if the w8 version of directx is revised and most likely not available on windows 7, like they did it with xp and dx10 then the gaming crowd will be more or less screwed, unless everyone just forks out for a brandnew non-moddable box ? highly unlikely
maybe it turns into a good thing for games on linux then:p
i haventn enjoyed a doom since 2 really... i was just wondering, the indie bundle presents you with games you can get for both windows and linux alike. These are all guys with pretty limited budget compared to some of the giants. Is the cost of compiling it for both platforms really that high ? Is it development cost? Or testing ? What's the difference for a platform like steam where you don't even have distribution and packaging costs ? Or at least very quantum compared to having dvds pressed and boxed and shipped accros the worldwide world.
Can't be testing, these days they call it beta and have thousands test it for free. Development ? That's where i'm in the shade... is most of this written in C-something and then compiled or is most of it written at machine-level ? What about the wine-crowd, how much would they like or not like to aid... even for very little to have games ported ? Or is it just this anal thing about disclosure ?
i really don't get it , it probably wont sell as many copies since you don't have as many users but what's the actual cost to compile it for both platforms ? Most games get sold before they're finished anyway, it's up to the buyers to track the bugs and report them. Even now, months after release this week-end i noticed for instance hunted the demons forge still has glitches in it on my x360 slim, not even six months since i bought it after the other one broke down, forcing me to restart the game every now and then.
i wouldnt worry about it, physics as is consists of all kinds of patches applied or the whole of the universe doesnt fit into it... too much energy here, too little there, too much matter here, not enough antimatter there (or was it the other way round) nothing symmetrical about it. In fact i heard that japanes physics guy state if the universe were built according to perfect symmetrical principles life as is wouldnt even exist... what will they do if the higgs boson isnt a 100%... make it fit with another patch since re-writing from scratch wont work since einstein died?
my question was rather how do they define intelligence... is it all math tests and logical sequence analysis, or does eq and social iq come into play as well... the speed of learning, the ability to link the right things to the right things, the in or out of the box thinking, the capability for grasping abstract concepts ? or just the ability to parrot like the perfect database would do ? zee definition, please
mh its weird bbc has this 'we're all educational' vibe going on yet they seem bent on hogging all the goodies, localized internet should be illegal, like copyright trolls:p its bad for the world, monopolizing knowledge
i think you'll have a hard time convincing people over there to do that. Part of the us domination is derived from the fact that it has the best (worst?) army in the world, the force in the world you wouldnt wanna cross, hi-tek, modern ninja squads, bulk spacemarines, name it, they got it. Another part is that the modern weapons business is quite some business and i'm guessing the weapons lobby is even a bit more hardcore than your average copyright trolling-congregation
check these guys out, you'd think you're in a fringe eps
either by upgrading or on a new pc ???? i don't buy new pc's, i buy components one at a time, first one that needs upgrading first etc... does this mean if i buy a licence key and i switch mainboard / cpu or my gfx card i'll have to buy a new one ??? i havent been able to find anything about a retail dvd for dyi hobbyists so far... is this the end of my windows era ?
how to scan for the presence of these things... they could be anywhere... like clothes hangers multiplying when you don't look in your closet for a day or two
you let down your father who died of cancer last year ??? is this for real ??? destroys peoples lives??? if the guy is a celeb type athlete i'd hope he can withstand a little more than just a tweet even if it says someone's gonna drown him in the pool, i wonder what hot flaming female celebrities get to endure at times even tho hardly any of them seem to be found cut up in pieces or drowned in pools... xept when they o.d. maybe, where will this madness end?... not a surprise from a country that extradites an attic kid for pointing out the security of the whole NS of A stinks ofcourse, more reasons not to use twitter then, good reason not to take a holiday in brittain ?
half of humanity interprets signals the wrong way, and this can probably not be hacked... nor can it be predicted. . . would i dare use the word 'lazy' ?
heh i wouldnt have minded having only 2 hours of history i.o. 2 + 2 hours of political history (it got me to the point of skipping). Dont you have this like system where you get a base pack and students pick a few hours a week of classes they are actually interested in? Basic math seems hardly something you can just leave out, advanced math is not for everyone. Ofcourse, if it's political science 1 and 1 ain't always 2 in the long run so i can see why it matters less
there's plenty of pay to play software in the ubuntu software center (well, not only games ofcourse) already, just as there is quite the amount of free to play games available on steam (something you don't get on xbla, i can't speak for psn). You can hardly deny someone the right to ask money for their stuff, it's up to them to make it better so someone wants to pay for it imo
i have this pdf file containing the whole psychological assessment of Breyvik. I forgot where i got it, i don't even know if i'm supposed to have it but if anyone would like to see it maybe i can post it somewhere. It's in german, lengthy, and a little more in depth than how not using facebook is the trait of a potential killer (should i delete this?) If i should please do it for me
panem et circenses, i stopped watching the olympics when boxers were no longer allowed to use those little lead balls in their gloves, something's gotta be the opium for the masses now religion no longer does the trick
i use anything but facebook and twitter so that makes me double suspicious. If g+ insists on the real name policy i will be a triple offender. It's pretty funny since not too long ago i saw this bbc horizon docu where some mad skills scientists research dug out that people who fir the profile of a pyschopath are present four times more in positions of power than you would get them in the general population.
Putting an end to Gamestop's business model is exactly what the publishers intended to do when they started moving to digital downloads. Add to that the DMCA which makes it illegal to circumvent such practices and the non-existence of the right of first sale for digital goods and Gamestop is up a creek without a paddle. And as much as I dislike Gamestop, so are we.
for what it's worth, this is not the original article i read but the fist one i found back googling : maybe they should move their seat to europe then, i'm sure we can use the tax revenue. I'd recommend Ireland or one of the former soviet countries (although there have been known to be some real 'hostile' takeovers there). Ireland has pretty low corporate tax and for a business that doesn't have expenses from physical transport this is probably the best place to be seated in europe. If i'm not mistaken, google and facebook and some other majors are as well.
i now give the word back to uncle ess's lobby:)

in the long run it will be a good thing, but there's more to africa since the chinese are atm making use of it wherever they can it won't be really de-colonized. What's sure is that the colonial powers of old are on the downslope of the curve atm. The boost they got after having to rebuild after WW2 is over, there's gonna be retracement to a certain level , thing is people in charge have these golden years they take as 'the norm' so to them this is already a disastrous time. I think it's gonna get much worse and maybe old europe and maybe even uncle sams white picket house will be the next colony. Irony? Fate? history repeating ? what goes up must come down and more cliché like that. It's mostly the unwill to change and the blind clinging to the past, forcing today to be like what 'they' knew that gives most trouble. Maybe it would be best to take all politicians in charge now and forbid them and their offspring and kin to have any official position for at leat ten years so people born with a mindset in this day and age could have a go at it
