Hopefully it's more interesting than Oblivion. Oblivion felt like a dulled-down Morrowind with prettier graphics. There was no compelling reason to explore the world.
Just did multiple searches on Google and Bing and got different results from both engines on each search. Whatever Bing was doing to copy Google's results, it's not doing it anymore.
Until this third party panel, now equipped with knowledge of the inner workings of three competitive chess engines, develops the most powerful chess engine known to man!...And then gets charged with plagiarism.
until Mozilla gets their act together or publishes an easier way to keep your extensions working, at least you can keep your browser working close to the way you want it
This is what I said. Did you even read my post? I am not
fawning over Mozilla and defending them
I was just trying to be helpful to those users who are trying to use their extensions in FF5. In relation to your analogy, that would be like helping someone find routes to where they need to go in a 4x4 since they're used to using the highway and don't know their way around. That does not make me a fool, blindly following what my precious Mozilla tells me is best. I'm fairly certain these events will cause a lot of FF extension developers to begin porting their work over to Chrome. Until that happens, many users would like to stick with FF and be able to use the same tools they use now.
I'm not saying it's an ideal solution, but until Mozilla gets their act together or publishes an easier way to keep your extensions working, at least you can keep your browser working close to the way you want it. Also note: I may have confused plugins with extensions in my previous post. I'm not actually sure if you can change your plugins to work on newer browser versions.
Unless there was actually some major functionality changes from 4 to 5 which would break plugins, and it's just the version number of the browser which disables the plugin, you could easily just go into the configuration files for the plugin and change the supported version numbers.
I don't think there's actually a story associated with this game. I believe the game is just a collection of maps in which you complete combat-related challenges. Thus, not being able to reset your save wouldn't have much effect on a single user.
Every Zoey (L4D) and Samus helps push against this... but Valve, why do you still only have one girl per L4D game? All it takes is equal representation. We figured this out in academia; heck, the engineering department at my university now has a 20% female undergraduate population. It's not as hard as it may seem at first.
You mention L4D, which has a 25% female cast, and compare it to your engineering department with a 20% female undergrad population in an attempt to show that Valve needs to learn equal representation. I'd make a joke about your math skills, but I think it would be inappropriate for this conversation...
Beyond Good & Evil's protagonist is a female journalist named Jade. The Portal series also features a female protagonist.
I don't think that many games these days are overly-masculine; at least none that I play. I think this "problem" is being blown out of proportion. If there were a significant market in making "feminine" games, game publishers would be pushing money into it. Either female gamers are largely satisfied with the current market offerings, or games designed for females aren't selling well, it seems to me.
That may be due in part to the lack of Silverlight's video compression on the PS3. I've never actually looked into the details of it, but I've heard Silverlight's compression is fairly significant. I guess it depends on whether that 30% was a measure of total devices streaming Netflix, or the amount of bandwidth used.
I'm not positive on this, but I imagine the Xbox 360 Netflix client uses Silverlight, judging by the presence of the.Net framework on that platform, so that probably counts for a significant portion of Netflix users.
How fun it is to watch your weak attempts at arguing an invalid point. Either we get to watch you get upset enough to log in to one of your other low-karma accounts, or you just shut up and nobody has to listen to you anymore. It's a win-win situation for us all!
Cower in the shadow of your depressing life, loser
Even when using a more obscure definition like that, it still doesn't hold up. Cash can be the fruit of fraud or forgery if the cash is obtained as a result of selling fraudulent goods, so your trolling doesn't really apply to this conversation.
Cower in the shadow of your exile from civilization as you recklessly throw your personal information around, knowing you have nothing of value to lose, troll.
Ok, I'll bite.
Contraband: goods whose importation or exportation or possession is prohibited by law
Hmmm... doesn't sound like Bitcoin at all.
Cower some more, illiterate idiot.
You're completely pathetic.
Comparing a donation of bitcoins to a donation of contraband substances is what's idiotic.
I know, I shouldn't even bother responding to one of the MichaelKristopeit drones, oh well.
arguing about what 'should' or 'should not be' legal is vacuous, because thing only are or are not and there is no such thing as 'should be'.
What an ignorant comment. Before laws are written or repealed, people determine that they "should" or "should not" be laws, followed by legislation. The only laws which existed before someone thought they should are the laws of physics. Furthermore, the very definition of suicide implies that it is the person's choice, thus government mandated euthanasia would not be suicide.
I've thought about this before. Perhaps if there were more of a process than just filling out some forms (perhaps a court appearance, although some of that may be able to be fudged as well), it would be plausible.
What could this potentially do to search results? I don't want dozens of hits from random Facebook walls popping up in search results, just because there was a post about something I'm searching for.
go to the "Arena" section to watch other people playing games. Now imagine that was you; it'd almost be easy to forget that the game isn't rendered locally.
Except that because you're not in control of the avatars in the game you have no sense of the input lag. I tried out a few games on OnLive (I have a 30Mb downstream connection as well, so that shouldn't have factored into this), and for me the input lag was too great for anything but single-player games and perhaps slow-paced multi-player games. To be fair, I did not really spend any time playing around with configuration (not actually sure if they even give you the option), so perhaps I was not connecting to the most local servers available.
If I'm not mistaken, Atari has been publishing CDProjekt Red's games; I'd like to hear their opinions on this whole ordeal. It's not that surprising to see a developer against DRM, it'd be interesting to hear the same from a major publisher.
From what I've seen of Chrome's removal of the URL bar, there will be several layouts to chose from, some of which do not hide the URL bar. I would hope Firefox will be the same way.
Do you only associate with luddites? According to this, Chrome claims over 14% of the browser market, and Firefox over 28%. I'm guessing "techies" don't count for over 14% of internet users, and definitely not over 28%.

What kind of shady bars do you go to? At any place I visit, if I ask for a liquor by name, that's what I get.

I understand this, but without some government oversight, it would be extremely easy to disguise murder as euthanasia.
