So being a good digital citizen means building web site to your approval? Fuck you.
" Dude needs to get off his lazy ass, charge a few bucks for listings," thats called ebay, you are more then welcome to take you lazy pin head there. I use Craig's list, and have no problem with scammers or spammers.
Yes, people who take into account technology that hasn't been invented that will be used on machines that haven't been invented when they build big projects.
It wasn't like building a damn where you know you are going to add generators in 20 years. This was not even on the board.
'who has the fastest broadband' comparison by population density? Comparing the entire US to smaller countries seems like just bad statistics. If a country has similar population and density to New York, then it should be compared to New York, not the US as a whole.
"From an objective standpoint these are among the worst programming jobs in existence;" and there is you limited imagination shoing itself. 1) Game programming is a great way to utilize advanced mathematics.
2) The gaming industry is a great place if you plan to sat for a few year then branch into your own business.
3) Not all companies are EA. Valve is a good company to work for, and who are they more likely to acquire? some 5th grade algebra bore, or someone with advance mathematics that can actual understand the formulas need to calculate the slope of a bullet?
4) While I wouldn't work in the game industry, many people enjoy it. So you really sound like an ass when you tell someone what they shouldn't do with their career. Pressure create diamonds, and breaks pipes; which are you?
"For the percentage, battery power remaining / total battery power." not really that good. I would calculated a derivative based on previous usage and put that into the equation as well. If it's a regular used MC system, then to do otherwise would get you fired.
Same thing for download time.
1 second / historic derived results.... Try it some time, assuming you have the mental capacity to apply anything above 5th grade algebra to a real world usage.
And, of course, you need to know calculus to use it in application that need it. Science and math application, geological application. You know, stuff smart people(not you) do.
Ware are talking about ow level programming. i.e. You write the tool, and access the api of some other tool. " Then divide by a sliding frame average of current consumption." and that's how you get a completely unrealistic idea of how much time until you need to charge that battery.
"It divides the remaining file size by a sliding frame average of the download speed." And that's the worst way to get an estimate.
" You can do an enormous amount in programming without calculus." Bad, bloated, sloppy, error prone results programming.
"and then record the sample of the voltage every 0.1% of the time axis." then please never do it. Why you think batter draw in a computer is constant is baffling.
"there's no funny function for you to differentiate to find the slope." and there ware are ladies and gentlemen, a person who doesn't understand the maths and application they are talking about, saying those maths aren't needed.
I wish small minded unimaginative people like this where a rarity, but sadly they are more common then the term 'uh' at a moron convention.
And with a good concept of math, you can get all those question, plus tell them there likely stock flow, better ways to organize inventory storage, and advance logistics regarding said inventory.
I predict everything will have an achievement system eventually. I also predict when smart phones are more aware of their surroundings, personal achievement will become popular.
I get your concern, but: 1) I get title pretty damn cheap. 2) not likely to go out of business 3) I can turn off the connection. 4) Steam taking away things will shoot them in the foot, so that isn't likely except for abuse. 5) Steam handles 'hacked' accounts pretty well. 6) Going out of business? it's not like a judge would let them turn off everyone's games.
Of course, all that data is just used to create risk analysis. So in regards to games, my risk is very low, and the cost of games is cheap enough to out way that risk.
Non games software, the risk might be greater then any monies I save. No games is an inconvienance. Other software and data is far more important.
Except those 200 aren't living in a closed system. Each one impacts people outside your 200 and so one.
".. monkeysphere to pressure human decency to rise above the baser notions is ludicrous" since that has been happening, it's pretty self evident that you are wrong.
Did you hear the entire speech, or just the out of context part Fox and Romney spread?
IT's a correct statement. Everything you DO is dependent on the people before you to able you to do it. It's a fact. Hell, it's a maxim. It's only controversial for people looking for any excuse to bring up some hate.
"You know Ann Rand accepted money from the Medicare system?" Stop using thta like it's some sort of argument. I can show examples after example of Rand flawed view or corporations.
But taking money form a system she paid into? I can't fault her. We can discuss whether or not she would have opted out. I thin a bigger point is that she got her education form a state sponsored university.

Radiation released by coal has a wider effect, and larger impact.
cause.. SHUT UP!
I suspect that's the extent of the posters argument.
" can't remove your implicit copyright to your own works."
yes, it can. A boiler plat contract is a contract. Please try to keep up with the times.

I had 10/10 in 99.

") trying to find something to keep them alive "
yeah, the millions from selling in game items and making very popular games will just go away.
The windows store will end up with thousand og apps for their phone and tablet almost no one uses.
"On linux?"
Yes. Games, for one thing. Valve is building their games for a linux distribution.
"apt-get install whatever"
Does that pull down your data? history? save games? do it automatically?
You laugh, but achievements are great motivators.
I predict everything will have an achievement system eventually.
I also predict when smart phones are more aware of their surroundings, personal achievement will become popular.
Well then, since it's a sync, and you can run the programs off line, you get an F.
Nice try, ignoramus.
Steams cloud is a sync.
You sound like my Luddite uncle who doesn't trust a computer to store his tax information.
I get your concern, but:
1) I get title pretty damn cheap.
2) not likely to go out of business
3) I can turn off the connection.

I can't wait for the summer windowscon where I can pick up every MS title for 29.99.
Maybe not.

People aren't wired to do math? should we stop teaching it?
People aren't wired to move down the road at 60 miles an hour, should we stop?
Money is a horrible proxy. Tesla didn't have any money, so you are telling me he didn't add anything in society?
