I don't get why these responses are so slow. Shouldn't they have been prepped to leave the moment nuke fears were announced, and sent over after the first explosion? It's not like radiation hardened robots have full time jobs here.
What kind of nonsense is that? If you can't complete in a field like video games, you suck. There is plenty of people in 1st world countries that are entering the market for the first time all the time. This is about ownership. And when they get big enough they can still export production overseas if they want. You are creating a product with a relatively small team. And it's a one shoot item. It's not like a factory where you have 10,000s employees making shoes 24/7 365. This is what you should be good at! It's making culture. You haven't been priced out of this market. Adding more government cuts will only add bloat to your companies.
I did say over 50 years. You are only looking at the bump before the next decline.
and yes we should have let the banks burn. btw, Have you heard they are out of money again? And no we don't 'go with them' because ~98 percent of the popultion has less then 100,000 in the bank and it's insured and only a small percent of the population would be effected. On the other hand here you have trillions of middle class wealth evaporated while the banks trudge on. If you had let the banks get close to collapse you would have cut some of the fat out of the system, and let a real recovery start. Now the banks are bigger then ever, the wealth gap is highest in over 70 years.
Ummmm. That is not the point. Whether she acted biased or not, she should have excused herself from the case. If nothing more then to avoid the appearance of bias. It's basic procedures in a non-corrupt system.
The video game crash of 19843/84 was caused by a flood of buggy bad games on the market by shady vendors. They would also take other publishers work and copy them onto cheap cartridges. The seal was there by Nintendo because they forced everyone to license their games, and be produced by Nintendo. At least you knew the game was 1st market. Also they did everything they could to market the NES as a system that wasn't junk to separate it from the consoles and games mothers had got burned on before. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_video_game_crash_of_1983#Long-term_effects
It's so hard to cut spending because no matter what program you cut, some group and some trade association or citizen group has a vested interest in it. I say good job UK. It's not like video games is a infant industry that needs support. All government funds can do is muck up efficiency. Good games will do well in the UK and great games will get distribution internationally and in the long term, the industry will be healthier and the government will have one less thing sucking at it's teat. Support from the government will only lead to more and more need for support after the first hurrah's, and the industry slowly slides worse and worse. For reference, see every industry ever with government support over the last 50 years
3d in current tech is less real looking then 2d images. Sense the offset can only project images in a cone that pinpoints at your face, and the widest point at the screen distance, you become aware of the 'sides' of the world. Where a well shot 2d film sucks you in nicely. Furthermore, while not the case with 3ds, but for sure the case with blu-ray, a part of the film is always out of focus. This is not how your eyes perceive the real world! 2d films are more realistic , sorry. Not till they have real holographics will it be better. Also the films are darker due to the glasses and the overlay. The 3ds has less frames per second. In 2d mode, you get 60fps, at full 3d setting, 30fps, half for each image.
I highly disagree. From everything I know about ISP's, they take VERY detailed logs. I highly doubt, if your ISP is willing to cooperate as in the GP, it will be hard to match you up.
First off I find the Apple online store layout offerings confusing. Maybe it just seems easy because you are familiar with the difference between a a macbook and macbook air (which as I just checked, start at the same price). Also is a decked out macbook better then the cheapest macbook pro for my needs? I wouldn't know.
Never go to a store for PC laptops as your fist step. This is very basic, but here we go: Define your needs. What are you going to be doing with it? (work/play, screensize, storage, batteries power). Find a couple of brands and READ THE REVIEWS of models that have what you need. Then go to a store and pick them up, make sure they look alright to you in person. Then go home and order them. Also I find it a myth that stores offer store only models unless you are going to bad stores or looking at off brands. In any case, know the models you want to check BEFORE you go to the store. The store should be a place like FRYs or bestbuy but not a place like staples or office depot.
For most US networks all they need to know is whether you are on network or not. A simple off or on switch on the log. Off network might require a few logs, do to varying rates. They don't need to a log to prove if you were on network because once they agree to charge you as a network call, thats that. As for paying other inter-carrier changes, that's based on router/switch traffic load, a simple odometer on the connection. Other carriers don't care if your costumer was actually off network or not. All they care about is if they used their lines or towers or not.
The more people lax on it, the more the elected won't Listen. if you keep voting people out, it's bound to get better. Problem is you get voting the same people in. But giving up is just childish. For someone who doesn't like the candidates, how many good alt candidates have you actually gone out of your house and supported? I don't mean to your friends who think like you, I mean actually trying to convince the other sides. But keep complaining because I'm sure if a voted in group is corrupt, a Non-voted in group is going to be sooooo much better./sarcasm
All they must know is where the Phone is. As soon as you switch towers, they can drop the info about the last tower you were at. In fact it's a waste of resources to record and save your longitude and latitude coordinates more than 35,000 times in 6 months as in TFA. Or about 191.7 times a day.
I wish we could get a 'Police need a Court Warrant to get this info' sort of law. Also a 'must only keep what data you must need to run the main service'. Cell phone companies are utilities, and should have a distinction from other companies offering a service. Government regulation of rights is not unwarranted. Kind of like unlisted laws and telmarketing data from POTS restrictions. Keep in mind cell towers tend to be placed every 1-2 miles to suburbia. That doesn't lend it's self to the free market.
How does this protect the little guy? Start up companies should only have so much due diligence to know if vendors are following the law. A Chinese company could seem completely legit, but one extra employee just hired brought in his own laptop with pirated excel. How are you going to watch for that? And as a reminder, don't expect china to police their own on this matter, or even care. Best you could hope for is a contract cause leaving 9the other company on the hook. But good luck enforcing it at the same time Microsoft is suing you, causing your sales to dry up
PAL versions, Different language manuals clearly take time to make. And QC. Also, it doesn't really make sense to have those teams and the factories doubled to make production faster, more sense to produce one, then switch to the other. A week isn't bad, a lot of games get delayed by 6 months, which is silly. I'm looking at you Nintendo.
I agree. I go back and forth honestly. It's like Scourge in Christmas carol, who just wants the poor people to die, till he actually goes into tiny tim's house and gets to know them as people.
But yeah, wouldn't you solve the hunger problems in say Ethiopia in a generation if you just let them die, in stead of dragging out their torture? Or be the new smarter Hitler and say they only get food aid if they agree to take it laced with birth control, or something...
It's never been a problem of food supply, it's a problem of economics of distribution. We waste food because we can afford to. We produce enough food everyday to feed the whole world 10 times over. Food costs money, like everything, expressed. (Food costs labor and land and shipping, etc.) It's so hard to believe papers like TFA because you look back, you can find that they projected and predicted in 1895 we would run out of food in 15 years, same thing to be found in the 1930s, and 1950s we would be out of food by the year 2000. The whole 'science' is based on so many assumptions about the future that it's close to pointless.
really? "M.U.L.E., Balance of Power, Sim City and Civilization," Those are the games you quote as being artistic but failing to be art? Duhhhhhh. Bad selection. Go play a narrative game. I stopped reading there
Doesn't this strike you as good old boys club mentality? I'll explain: Instead of firing bad manger and promoting someone else, they just kept him and give him basic manager training, Something they could have given to anybody, furthermore it's likely he'll slide back after not being watched so closely. By that time he will be too entrenched in ongoing company knowledge to fire.
Proving once again getting into management is about pedigree and class status not merit. Having the right parents and social norms, religious background, accent, thought process that comes from growing up in a white protestant household and going to their schools and churchs, or at least growing up in a house that talks, dresses and looks like a white protestant household
Stop screaming the sky is falling. All that is national does not stink, all that is international does not shine. No one has been able to point out any realexamples of how the system isn't working. It only started in the US because thats where the internet went widespread. Let me know when it stops working
Kahn courses are pretty web 2.o (god I gate that term) in any case, the real befit comes from wide spread internet connectivity. Now the only added cost to add 1,000 more students, or 10,000, or 100,000 is a fraction of server load.

This is a myth caused by the difference between watching a projected film and playing a video game
