To be honest, this seems a lot like just made to work out from D&D. These are pretty much general principles in life that apply everywhere, and hence its not a surprise that they apply in *roleplaying* games aswell.
If you take it further, the same general principles that also works in business also works with women, or for that matter, any stuff. This can be something along the lines "dont be afraid to be yourself and be convinent when saying your say, because it works a lot better". It works the same way in RPG's, real life, women, business and for that matter in everything. Its just general human philosophy.
Like said, RPG games tend to reflect real life a lot. You just take different character. That's why the stuff is pretty much the same.
Its not because they dont have enough population, Japan is one of the countries that have huge amount of people living in a small area. It's because Japanese people rely *a lot* on technology and robots and such. For example, when you go visit in a hotel there's a robot where you put your glass and it fills it with beer. During the fill when the beer's foam starts to come over, it waits till its gone and then fills more beer into glass so its full. Now how cool is that and rather than geek gadget, its commonplace:)
And it's only crazy to you because you haven't lived their culture, history or know how japanese people have grown to think along the hundreds of years. I'm actually quite happy that theres still diverse in cultures, specially because USA and Europe seems to be getting so much like the other one. Your attitude shows the typical american attitude -- if its not like us, its bad or weird.
Yes they did, after the donators emails were accidentally sent to lots of other donators and some of them requested that they'll add the leak to the site.
CPA marketers are the perfect answer for you. They do marketing online full time and know how to reach the target audience for you, and you also wont be paying for nothing but the sales.
They generally get ~25% of the sale price, and you wont need to try to get converting users from adsense or any other ad service where you just pay for clicks or banners and have no idea if they will actually buy your product. With CPA model other people will do that for you. This works great for both; you get to do what you know, aka the coding and dont need to spend your time on the marketing, and they get their pay depending on their performance. It also works good for minimizing fraud, since you will be only paying for real sales.
CPA companies usually also have a good support managers that teach you what to do and how to go about it. After all, they'll profit also depend on how many sales their affiliates can deliver to you.
It's only in the last century or so, when we reached a means of recording, manufacturing and selling music -- which was limited to just those with the machinery and capital to do it, that copyright was suddenly brought out to "protect" such things."
Which actually brings me to ask an interesting question; I've always liked remixes of songs and find they're great listening if you like the original song aswell, and sometimes even if you dont. But how do they handle the copyright issues with labels? And how do those professional remixes create them anyways, do they get all the different tracks from labels or what?
I know redundancy and such is better on business stuff, but this kind of reminds me of the fact how customer lines have lots of single failure points aswell. There was a day when TeliaSonera's, large nordic ISP, DHCP stopped working, leading 1/3 of the whole country's residents without internet access. Turns out there was a hardware failure on the dhcp server, leading me to believe that they actually depend on just one server to handle all the dhcp requests coming from customers. They did fix it in a few hours, but it was still unavailable for the rest of the day because hundreds of thousands computer's were trying to get an ip address from it. That being said, I remember it happening only once, but it still seems stupid.
I just pointed it out in a more clear way. Killing people in hollywood movie and tv shows is all okay, and noone complaints about it. You wouldn't ever think that someone might be going into jail because of it. Rape and other such is okay in hollywood movies aswell. Now you just see the genitals aswell, but its still acted and simulated. What makes it different?
Since the summary didnt tell it: "Extreme Associates produced and distributed sexually degrading material that portrayed women in the most vile and depraved manner imaginable," U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan, of the Western District of Pennsylvania, said in a statement. "These prison sentences affirm the need to continue to protect the public from obscene, lewd, lascivious or filthy material, the production of which degrades all of us."
It's nice that theres no problems killing people in movies, but once theres some titties you go to jail in usa:)
Even tho your nickname is Corporate Troll, do you think home networks are run like corporate networks?:)
Theres really really small change that any hacker will 'root' her laptop. If by rooting you mean it will get infected with some worm, well, just keep your stuff and updates up to date.
You can secure and limit activies on corporate networks better, but theres no way any normal parent will keep her kids off the internet and computer just because it might get infected.
You're forgetting here that multiplayer games transfer significantly less data. Pretty much only player movements/positions and some small information. Besides that, the pings usually range from 50 (own country) to 200-400 (some other country near you). If you live in USA, replace country with state, tho interstate connections are probably better than off country. Now imagine moving your mouse in the game to look around. How is that 50-400ms lag working for you now? Sure, bandwidth and speeds can get better, but latency is harder. There's geocraphical and technical obstacles for that. It will take long, LONG time before responsives to mouse and keyboard will get *anywhere* close to what it is locally.
I agree. And seems there just keeps coming more and more news about how this goverment facility was attacked, how that goverment office was hacked and how pretty much whole goverment is in cyber war with china and other "bad countries". For me it seems like US is trying to push that into peoples minds, so they can more easily create new laws to restrict internet. Seems goverments are quite afraid now that normal citizens can quite freely tell their opinions to large user base. TV and radio and other ways to tell your opinion to lots of people were restricted and under goverment control before. Freedom on the internet scares them.
However, the video doesn't tell anything about the lag when used via internet. The server might be sitting just next to him. I dont really think it can stream stable, fullscreen 1680x1020 video at 30-60fps over the internet and still also be as responsive to mouse and keyboard as you would be playing it on your computer. Hell, that's practically impossible in lan too, even basic remote desktoping or X sessions are somewhat laggy in lan.
I must agree it looked to work somewhat nicely, but people are taking this cloud computing thing way too far. I want to run the stuff on my own box and not somewhere else. Aside privacy conserns, it doesn't make that much sense to run games via internet line. Theres lag issues, bandwidth issues, connectivity issues and latency issues. Sometimes the old model works better than the new 'cool' model.
The problem with FTP/SFTP/SCP is that if the connection breaks or theres other transfer errors (there will always be) and like he says, FTP does have the tendency to break files. You can solve this with checksums and transferring again, but thats not probably the most efficient solution. Something along the lines of torrent protocol would actually be perfect, as it has multiple good checksum tests and the file is partitioned, so you only need to retransfer one piece instead of whole file if its bad. Now torrent is a bit of pain in the ass as you need to create and transfer the.torrent file, but that could be automated and maybe theres other such more suitable protocols aswell.

PHP 5.3 Released
·
· Score: 1
5.3 should be cool, now I just need to start pestering my hosting providers about upgrading.
Dude, dedicated server!
I also always pick PHP because its so nice to code with it and because of the box it provides so many different functions from many areas. It saves you lots of time and work if you dont need to always write your own functions for everything or google for a library. This is also why I prefer Delphi over C++.
I doubt its amazon links you see spammed, they're pretty strict about bad practices. If you see such for amazon links, you can report it and they will look into it (and disable the affiliates account without payment if he has violated terms of services)
The ones you see spammed are usually something shitty like "get 1000's of your friends click this link and earn $0.001 per click!"
It didn't ignore local legal code. In scandinavian countries the courts look into purpose of what you did, not always 1:1 to written laws. That is why The Pirate Bay's talk about "but we only host the.torrent files, not the files" didn't work out for them. Its also pretty clear what was The Pirate Bay's purpose, along how they mocked companies asking to remove content.
I agree. When I was 18-19 and I told my girlfriend that most guys are there to pick up girls or to get sex, she was like "no way". It seems its totally different for a girl to go out to bar than what it is with guys, hence the "pick up" defences aswell. They're mostly there to hang out with friends and socialize.
I think that is what he meant aswell, I did atleast. If you cant accept who you are and what you like, how can anyone else either, specially someone you've supposed to be with. That is major problem with geeks and they think there's something wrong with it and that girls wont like it, which will just create looping problem as girls wont like someone without self-confidence.
Ofcourse, you wont be talking to her hours about why emacs is just so much better than nano (unless she fancies that kind of stuff:), but its all about attitude and making you stand out from the normal crowd. You cant do that if you come up as shy and seem to think something along the lines of "sorry that i'm here, i just get back to my computer"

I guess this depends on the SCP program. WinSCP atleast leaves original_name.filepart file (and can continue from where it left)

Yep, and you dont even need to do that. afaik (I'm not from usa) you can just set up company in another state or country and work thru it with amazon.
