There's a very real reason why Wii needed to be a new console. Just look at any gimmick controller and see how well they've done. The problem is that if the controller is not included in the bare-basics version of the console, at best it will be supported as an alternative control method but most of the time it will be entirely unsupported. Very few games will be designed specifically for it. With the Wii, everyone's guaranteed to have a wiimote, and the games are designed accordingly.
2059: "They seriously thought they could get by with just a couple of cores. For a long time they only had one core, and designed their programs with that assumption. Foolish and short-sighted, eh?"
If you're going to contact them directly, remember to mention that you're looking through a list of potential site names and that nothing's decided yet. Should be cheaper. Another option would be to actually make a list like that and seriously consider other names.
That only proves that I know what the names of the tracks are. That's hardly a crime.
Having Jean Sibelius - Symphony No. 8 scrobbled on my account does not mean I've mysteriously found an intact version of the manuscript and singlehandedly recorded the lost symphony. It means I know how to edit ID3 tags.
I'm sick and tired of people saying that, especially the people who say that like it's an inherently bad thing. I seriously don't get what's wrong with it. If "playing god" can improve the quality of human life, I'd say it's immoral not to.
It wouldn't take a war to leave EU, mostly because EU doesn't have any real military power. It's just that no country just wants to let go of the benefits of staying in.
Flipping files in an IDE is trivial... In an editor like GVIM, or EMACS it is not a trivial.
Open files in different editors
Alt-Tab or simply use the task bar
???
Profit!
I'm pretty sure vim has commands to do all that in one process, but it isn't exactly a memory hog. Besides, the window-manager already has the functionality built in, so why bother?
Also, I have more trouble switching between files in Eclipse since Ctrl-Page Up/Down keeps switching between the alternate views instead of files.
I doubt anyone will take this camera seriously until it prints at least 4x6, non-sticky-back prints
Instant photos aren't really for people who take photography seriously. To get that size of photos the camera would need to be bigger than 4x6", and the kind of people it's aimed at simply wouldn't want a camera that big.
Sorry, but you're dead wrong. I can take code that not even the original developer(s) could understand and turn it into something easy enough for a PHB or QA dev to grok by skimming.
It's a fact that complex code is harder to maintain, and it has a higher bug density. There are plenty of tools out there to analyze the level of complexity in your code, and they all fully agree with me here.
Get some experience, kid.
Well, good for you then. However, you being a highly visual person and a good coder does not mean that visual people are better coders and non-visual people only produce complex spaghetti, or that visualization is an integral part of good coding (which seems to be your basic assumption).
I have to disagree with you there, and I'll submit that you're doing it wrong if you're not visualizing what you're coding.
He isn't doing anything wrong, he just isn't a visual person, and coding isn't inherently visual.
I'm a highly visual person, and as a result I'm really good at simplifying complex spaghetti written by people like you who can't see the obvious simple(r) solution.
No, you can turn the code into a form where you can understand it better. It isn't necessarily simpler or better, just put in a different form. What you call "complex spaghetti" can be plain as day to people who think differently, and your "simplified" code can be as difficult for them to read as the "complex spaghetti" is to you.
Your first key point is that programmers must understand them because they're simple??? Um...
If they can't understand that, how do you expect them to understand more complex problems?
Now you're asserting that it's impossible to write good code unless you understand these things. So all of good programming hinges on this? That's incredible! </sarcasm>
Yeah, all of good programming is based on understanding the basic structures. News at 11.
Heehee!
Try this one: thinking logically is critical to being qualified to program.

Being a dick is, in general, frowned upon regardless of the economic system.
Can I duplicate this in Dwarf Fortress?

The forces are under the direct control of a unanimous European Council (heads of state of member states) of the European Union (EU).
Keyword: unanimous. I wonder if the Swedish head of state will agree to using the troops on itself.

You know, I haven't logged in since I created the account.
Already exists.
Like a robot could lose to a human in that game...
...and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why developers go bankrupt even if they make good games.
I thought that meant Lines Of Code. Hope no one is confusing the two. Talk about unreasonable expectations...

So, that's what "???" means.
It's more like attempting to give CPR to the guy you just shot in the head.
Meh, MacGyver uses local exploits. It's a completely different matter to do it remotely.
I hear the weather's rather dreadful on Venus this time of the year. Or any other time of the year.

That's an XKCD reference, boy. You know what we do to XKCD referencers around here?
We link to them!
Yeah, that's what vi is for.
