tbh I prefer ham, doublecheese, every salad with oregano and black pepper. Then the best parts, as majonese either-> 1) chipotle southwest + ranch 2) light majo + garlic majo
Is it really stealing if the media conglomerates refuse to sell it in other countries?
Yes it is, if you dont buy it from the sellers how they want to sell. But this has been debated forever already, and you must be a retard not to understand it.
I agree here because I'm in my 20's aswell, but you really dont count for people that are more used for newspapers, ie 30+ people. On that note, I still also enjoy ordering specialized gaming and computer magazines and read them in bed as its just as lot nicer.
But there will still be lots of people who will be reading just out of habit for many years. And nevertheless of that, they do serve a nice, quality purpose. You dont get the same from blogs (and I must note I dont really read them, but I know they serve other people)
Internet just isnt there yet, either because its too new or because theres too many older people that have got used to the old ways.
The summary is incomplete here. They also asked users to request their payment to be reversed as 'false payment', and thats where the extra fees come from, as the swedish law firm is obligated to process them and send back to the payer.
Yes 2k owns the publishing rights, but not the IP to Duke Nukem. It was said however that 2k games has offered 30million for the ip rights for whole Duke Nukem franchise, so have to see how it turns out.
Yes. You also cant tell someone on the street that "I am not responsible for any thing that may happen if you take this free fight with me. Go ahead if you are really sure..." and you happen to kill him. You will be responsible, even if it was free and you warned.
Re:What do you get combining Apple + gaming compan
on
Apple Eyeing EA?
·
· Score: 1
Would Apple really have money to buy EA? They're almost the largest player on gaming industry, and I dont really see Apple having that much of buying power.
However theres a little bit of difference on complexity on programming and constructing something (I know, constructing requires knowledge aswell, but not on so wide scale and on the same level of complexity)
If they pass a law to protect consumers tho, eula cannot go against it. Those parts in the EULA would be just as null.
Thats how it works in some countries in europe aswell. For example most eulas try to prohibit you from making *any* copies of the software/game, but laws state that you can make yourself personal copies. Law goes on top of EULA, and if they differ law always wins.
This is usual in big indrusties tho. For example banks are not allowed to be operate without certain level of financial ability, and I remember there just lately being news about US gov ordering some banks to increase their financial ability if they want to continue operating.
Computer industry has become a huge industry aswell, specially companies like Microsoft who almost everyone are using(*except who use linux/freebsd/etc only, but thats still a minority)
Developer will pay for the first hand damages, but on the hand he can go after the 3rd party library maker and try to get them pay for his damages. This is how it works elsewhere too.
Chrome is still too simplifistic for everyday use. Its just a plain browser with no extra functionality, no mouse gestures or anything that actually browsing a lot more efficient.
I'm not in the firefox legion tho, I prefer Opera for its fast responsiveness and having everything required for nice browsing experience built in. That being said, firefox does have some nice addons I would like to use aswell, but its not just as good and nice for my daily usage. I do however use it for web development because of its relevant addons.
I personally use Xplorer2 as a file manager with Aston as the shell, not only because it uses less resources and is less buggy than Windows Explorer, but it also fixes that stupid explorer bug. Xplorer2 by default shows the file names but when you click rename it highlights ONLY the part BEFORE the dot3, allowing me to quickly rename without having to constantly type.txt,.jpg,etc. It also gives me the classic two pane commander style layout which has always made more sense to me than Windows Explorer. I just use a little command hack in Aston that tells it to launch Aston instead of Explorer and I never have to deal with that fugly mess.
Heh, I was replying to this post to note that Vista selects before the dot, but I guess its just xplorer2:) I changed to it aswell after I started using Vista, before that I used Turbo Navigator from Win98 times. However it kinda broke with Vista's UAC, and doesnt pop up that admin accept dialog. Now I've learned the nice sides of xplorer2 too aswell tho.
I should probably try Aston Shell aswell, I hope they're fixed tray icons now a days tho. Before they didnt have any (or atleast good) support to those and you just didnt see them.
I wish Opera will catch up soon to this aswell. Its a great browser, but when it does crash on some page whole browser goes down. They have to soon, seeing all other major browsers have implemented it.
industry has changed and 3D Realms used the old, nice ways to do things. The ways that are definitely nicer and better for invidual designers and programmers, and what makes the fun on it.
However nowadays its really competitive, and thats why you see EA and other mass companies using the tactics you see.
3D Realms wanted to respect their employees and have it a personal company, kudos for that for them. Its sad that it doesnt work in games industry anymore.
If you read their site you'll see they seemed to do lots of fun stuff along the years.
I think most of there where to have fun and do what they liked. If you read their job posting, you'll see they offer revenue from sales of their projects and honestly are a cool company to work at. And that probably was what caused their shutdown, with all the EA and others just going for profits and making developers and programmers a slave.
Also see their company info page, theres lots of fun stuff. I wish I had worked there, they had a great mentality and fun in it.
One thing I hope PHP would have is GUI stuff for both Windows and Linux. Its a great language for everything, and I use it constantly for scripts and other stuff. I've even written ircbots and servers with it, and they all work great and are nice to work with.
However the GUI design with the existing tools is just pain in the ass, and it doesnt offer a good way to turn your code into machine code.
I do understand that theres programming languages like c/c++ and delphi and several others, but from all of those php is the nicest to use, even for non-webpages stuff.
I dont think it would be that hard to implement such, given theres people to do it and understand how PHP can be greatly used for non-webserver stuff aswell. Or is there something against it that I havent thought of?
Being a Delphi programmer I noticed this news and thought wtf, but it must be noted that Delphi along other programming stuff was moved under CodeGear a few years ago and wasnt included in the purchase.
Still, I have high respect for Borland and the fact they provided early Delphi's for free on my teenage years when noone else did. I still enjoy Delphi as the most rapid programming tool, because it nicely integrates easy of GUI design but still powerful and fast code.

This is how I got fat.

Was this really an surprise to anyone? It even reads largely on the download page (you DID download it legally instead of torrents, right ;)
Nevertheless its still an year to the future. And its a freaking release candidate.

I think it'll be the companies responsability here, not a single developer's. If the company gets shit tho, they'll prolly fire that developer.
Developer will pay for the first hand damages, but on the hand he can go after the 3rd party library maker and try to get them pay for his damages. This is how it works elsewhere too.
There will never be such thing as perfect code, not even with 4x prices to create it. You can improve a lot tho.
If you get free food and it gives you food poisoning, the one that made the soup will still be viable. Same issue here.

Obviously they were given normal salary, and aswell percent of the real sales.
Yes, and the general movement in Source games just pwns. I've stopped playing many games because the movement just seems so crappy.
yes, and that is what i said :)

Assuming that Borland still does IDEs and compilers (weren't they trying to spin off that business?)
Yes they did, all of their programming stuff was moved under CodeGear a few years ago, and those werent included in this purchase.
