No one ever claimed mixing drinks makes the alcohol content stronger. It can, however, makes it easier to drink large quantities, since a strong alcohol gets diluted.
What is risky here? People give you money, and you don't have to give anything in return but empty promises of delivering a game at some point.
The alternative is asking investors for money, who will expect a working business model, 4 times as much as what they invested in returns, and who will sue you if you mismanage the money.
Every time I hear of developers not using Linux, I wonder why.
I've come up with two theories:
- Microsoft is very influential in the USA, and somehow managed to trick teaching institutions to work with Windows. Since the US is the leader in software development, many other countries try to copy them, even if Microsoft is not as influential there.
- People making mass-market software (like games) target Windows, and need to use Windows-specific toolchains. While cross-compiling for Windows is possible, they prefer to have the native experience with the Windows tools. In particular it is difficult to run the UI disaster that is Visual Studio (and that somehow some people actually like) on Linux.
Thankfully, with web services and mobile phones becoming more and more important everyday, Windows is becoming less and less relevant (at least until you do that javascript or flash crap that only works well on Windows for some reason).
For R&D, specialists are more useful. If you're going to pay someone more, you expect him to be particularly good at what you're asking him to do so that paying him more actually ends up costing you less.
General experience of 20 years is not much more valuable than general experience of 5 years. The former will want to be paid 2 to 3 times more, but he won't be able to get the job done in half the time (including the time to do it well and not just hack it together).
Now if you're talking about consulting or activities where the developer needs to interact with clients which each have their own needs, then you indeed need to be a generalist. But that's a whole different beast than traditional software development.
Simply press pause and wait for the video to load. That's how I watch all my videos. Streaming simply does not work. It's not a bandwidth issue, it's that the flash-based video players involved are crap and can't do buffer management or seeking properly.

AFAIK in China alcohol is associated with lower social classes.
So if you're doing business with upper classes, don't expect alcohol.

That thing is disgusting.
Even vodka tastes better.
Games frequently require large amounts of RAM, so the fact that the desktop uses a lot makes it somewhat bad for games.
Somehow the game makers got stuck in the 32 bit era though, which means that if you have more than 4GB of ram, you won't have a problem.
Sure, I'm a consultant. You can hire me for the right price, no problem.
What do you mean improve the score?
You mean the programmers aren't even capable of solving the problem of finding the best solution?
Even if it's NP-complete, it's not like there are so many elevators that you can't find the best solution in reasonable time.

Looks like you're confusing pricing and cost.
SMS does not cost anything, but is priced relatively high (compared to its cost at least).
AFAIK Japanese phones uses email instead of SMS.
What's the point of secure boot, if you can just use this bootloader to boot anything you want?
That kind of information should be in the file metadata. It could also just be mentioned in the NFO.
x264 is an encoder, not an actual format.
I still don't understand why the scene puts it in their file names.
I remember removing the DRM from a PlayReady file 5 years ago.
Most people enjoy cooking.
You'll have trouble printing the SoC.
The man has many flaws and is stupid about many things.
That's ok dude, I'm a nobody on Google+ too.
No, he did mean polemic.
You *don't* need to pay, sorry.
You need to pay for DRM, there are open-source solutions for it.
Both do, sorry.
1) irrelevant
2) irrelevant too. The game market is on windows, that is what matters.

If you're old, you need to be special. Like an actual expert.
With age comes expectations.
