Technically, it's on the 3DS, so the answer to your question is "You'd snap the system shut to put it in sleep mode, thus suspending the scene until you return." However, I understand your point and agree.
Nice troll. "Take one life to save one life." Remember, if this is a cancer cluster, and it is caused by something in the TSA environment, they're literally killing themselves so that you can feel a sense of security. And most would argue that you cannot prove the scanners are effective, thus you're trading their lives for imaginary safety. If you're willing to kill just to feel safe, wouldn't it be better if you just picked up a gun, went to $terroristsourcedujour and started shooting?
Well, cynically, maybe they do understand, it's the IT managers who don't. After all, going X.Y to X.Z is classically a minor change, while X.Y to Z.Y is major. Just because someone says "That's not true for us," and actually means it doesn't ensure management will believe them.
- Users want the latest and greatest, and generally don't mind dumping support for legacy garbage after a reasonable amount of time. Additionally "rolling out the new version" is just clicking the "update now" button when the dialog comes up.. and you can even opt out of that and just have it automatic.
Actually, I've found that while users often want the latest and greatest, they get absolutely extraordinarily pissy if their 15-year-old program doesn't work any more, and will jump through more hoops than you'd believe in order to try and keep the most useless crap running for an extra month.
And you understand picking on a typo to support your moronic assumption that he wasn't specifically asking about processes that would probably be most using ActiveX means your fail on two counts, correct?
1. Being an asshole, 2. Supporting your claim.
You also failed at reading comprehension. He's not a consultant, he's getting a degree, so he's talking with businesses to find out the kinds of technology he needs most to familiarize himself with. So, one might say you "fail," and so much so that it was rather "epic" in scope. Maybe even say that you had an "epic fail." At least my assumptions are rational.
Oh bloody hell, the general meaning of "consumer" you twat. Mayhaps "Customer" if you will. Professionals are still customers. And since I was speaking in generalities of the market IN GENERAL, then GENERALLY I meant "stop releasing shit that isn't actually ready to be released."
Er, and what part is supposed to correlate to Microsoft? Office still has backwards compatibility, Win7 has XP mode, and they supported XP right up until then. The only time compatibility's really broken is with Vista. And even then, you still had XP available. FCP7 is not available, and has no support, and by reports, hasn't for a while. So I'm sorry, but I don't see a situation on MS's side that's analogous to this. Unless you're referring to something like 2007's switch to the ribbon. Which isn't even close to the same thing, since functionality was still there, just moved around. Not meaning to be bitchy or anything, but if you could expand your statement to an actual comparison?
Then it should have been released 6 months from now. I'm not blaming Apple on this one (for once), but the entire goddamned industry. Stop releasing your Beta as a consumer-ready product. RIM's Playbook, Apple's FCPX, and well, most tablets barring the iPad, really. Every single one wasn't completely ready for launch, either missing crucial features or getting tons of stability fixes within the first weeks of release. I know it's not a new phenomenon, but it seems to have gotten worse recently.
Jesus. If even half as many cancel this time, that's likely to be a huge fucking blow to the game. About the only one that can stand to lose 20k subscribers at a shot is WoW, and since the uproar is higher than last time, 20k would be conservative. I've never played EVE, but I'd hate to see it go. It proves that a game can be different from WoW and still work. Well, had worked.
Or you could do what I do, and just delete all the messages about replies any way, because you can just click on your replies from your homepage, and be taken to the full thread. Or just ignore them. Depends on the topic, I suppose.
I can reasonably claim that you mowing the lawn while I'm asleep causes me terror. After all, if your mower is loud enough, and I'm disoriented enough, then the noise can cause me to fear for my life, and be terrified, until I find out what's going on. So, under your rules, mowing the FUCKING LAWN IS TERRORISM! If I'm a pedestrian, and you drive too close to me, I could be terrified I'm about to be run over. DRIVING YOUR CAR IS TERRORISM.
See why your definition simply doesn't work? Get one that actually encompasses a reasonable set of actions, and you might not come off like an idiot.
I'm sorry, but that's a retarded response. Even if I think the reaction to 9/11 was overblown, hacking a company is a completely different scale than wide-spread physical destruction and loss of life. To try and equate them means you're not an individual who should ever be included in a rational discussion about proportional response or morality. If I had to guess, I'd say you're probably one of the "nuke 'em all and fuck sorting them out" types, right?
What it was was that the US made a statement that any cyber attacks by foreign nations would be met with retaliation up to and including use of military force. Further, you cannot actually declare a war on an individual, nor a concept, "War on Drugs/Terror" notwithstanding. Also, threatening war is not terrorism, it is a tactic commonly used by governments all over the world, and was quite popular with the US for a while, as well as most Western nations.
I'm fine with opinion when it's labelled as such. A well-informed opinion backed with facts can be an interesting, informative, and insightful read, especially on subjects where the average reader may not be qualified to accurately assess the impact of the story.
Can we just shut the f___ up about bridges? Ever since the 1970's the Chicken Little's have been screaming about the bridges and how they're all going to fall down any day now. Yet, the sky persists in not falling. Yes, bridges have fallen - but it's literally a one-in-ten-million event. So what? (And no, you can't trust the various reports. They depend on self reporting, and the locals flat out lie to raise their position on the lists so the get to the head of the line for pork.)
Well, not to get your dander up, but in my city, the major bridges get major upkeep every few years. Repave the road deck, check the supports, etc. And then about once a decade or so they do a *really* major overhaul. Then again, those bridges do get a few million cars driving over them every year, so they might be an exception, but that maintenance schedule suggests they really should be looked after regularly.
So it's exactly because of capitalism then, since the government is being forced to build the plants, rather than the private sector seeing a need and trying to fill it.
Why? At least VCs actually do something with the cash. Invest it in other places to make more money. C*Os tend to simply sit in a company and get rich. Sometimes they move to other companies that are already established and get rich. Very rarely do they take that money and knowledge and make something new to make money with.
If you can guarantee it's been stored properly, sure, old stuff's not THAT bad, but that's why people want milsurp. Remember, most people are stupid. I'm sure your average redneck ain't keeping his ammo dry, and your average gun nut (simply for lack of a better term) can't guarantee their storage spot is impervious to floods or broken water pipes for an extended period of time. Even very high humidity over a long period of time can fuck stuff up.
Yeah, by "spoil" I just meant "gunpowder gets wet", not "it grows mold" or something like that.
Ease of doing business. They have an arrangement where they can trade those USD for the local currency for a nominal fee, and that broker trades it to the US for the local currency, or sells it to those who need USD to purchase something from the States, which is notoriously stingy when it comes to accepting foreign currencies on US soil.
Is also a poor investment, since it can spoil if stored improperly, and become dangerous to use. Granted, proper storage will protect the gunpowder, but still, stocking up for an unknown period of time in the future can cause problems. Ten years is about the limit of recommended time I could find.
Anyone who has respect for these pathetic assholes deserves to be raped in prison right along side of them.
*snerk* Big words coming from an AC. The biggest problem with your righteous indignation is that point right there. Last I checked, it wasn't illegal anywhere to respect anyone. It is, however, illegal to rape someone, even in prison. So basically, because someone thinks something you don't agree with, you're wishing harm, personal violation of the most intimate sort, and an illegal act on to someone. Pretty sure that makes you either in Stalin's camp, or Hitler's.
And for the record, I do respect Lulzsec for doing this shit for the reasons they've stated - for the lulz - rather than trying to hide it behind any slacktivist bullshit, or "for the good of the community" malarkey. Do I agree with what they're doing? No. But I respect their straightforward nature. They're here for a good time, not a long time.
I can't speak for all, but for me, I have a limit to my budget. This caused me to valuate different items different amounts. I placed having Internet access higher than cable television access. Unfortunately, the majority of television shows have not seen fit to have the ability to watch ad-supported online versions of their shows available in my country (Canada). I formerly purchased DVD sets of seasons of shows I enjoyed, but quickly caught up on most of them/the show ended. In order to find new shows worth purchasing, normally I'd watch it for free for a few episodes on TV. But I don't have that. So I'd download the shows, watch a couple episodes, then decide if it's worth purchasing. Recently, Netflix became available for streaming, so I signed up for that. It's not ideal, since it doesn't carry everything that the US version does, which still doesn't carry everything I'm interested in, but it was a good step, and it's severely curtailed my downloading of shows since there's still a decent wealth of content on there.
Possibly more unfortunately for the companies involved, however, I'm less likely to purchase DVDs now of anything on Netflix, since the ability to watch it whenever I want is the main motivation, followed by special features. Unfortunately, special features are rarely worth the $50 for TV shows, or $30 for Blu-ray movies compared to $8/month.

I know some Americans think Canada's basically Communist, but dude, there's still a difference between us and China.

Youtube, in fact, does restrict content by country, however, your link works in Canada at least.
No it's not. You're an idiot.
