But the Steam box isn't something you should specifically have to code for, so I would think every game released on Steam for Linux after the Steam box comes out will should be available on it, regardless of sales from the box.
"The luxury drink in question—Kopi Luwak—is produced from coffee beans pooped out by the palm civet, a time-consuming process that helps contribute to the beverage's price tag of between $330 to $500 per kilogram."
Wait a minute...we wait for a random animal to eat and poop out the coffee beans, and charge MORE for this? What exactly is supposed to make this better than the fresh coffee bean?
Same, I've never thought of sending an SMS to multiple recepients as anything beyond a for loop to send the same message 5 times to different numbers, since any phone could do that without any special SMS protocol.
there were officials sitting and watching the electronic tally in real time, with the IP addresses attached even, and they were able to spot it and track the IP to the physical location and get there before he was done. Am I the only one surprised at the level of security for a student election? I guess it has been a problem before, since they had this whole system set up for this...
Females futzing over cosmetics, shampoo, overpriced clothing, men extolling the virtues beer, of overpriced fuel guzzling hotrods, both of them falling for weight loss snakeoil, expensive and unnecessary pharmaceuticals, breast augmentation, hairloss treatments and cat toys.
I have to ask...what show are you watching that has cat toy commercials that are so evil and offensive? I'm not sure I've ever even seen a cat toy commercial...
I think a lot of people are focusing on the movies too much, remember that Disney does much more with their characters than movies. Imagine a Star Wars land at Disney world, Star wars cruises, and then do it all again with Marvel also. They are the one company is a position to do way more than just more Star Wars movies.
I'm pretty sure the parent is questioning why the word "barrier" is used instead of something like "milestone", which I would have chosen. A barrier implies there is something special stopping you there that you need to work around or resolve, but milestone is just a convenient number to stop at, as in this case. I see no difference between passing exaflop and say 0.9 exaflop, since both require "a really long time, combined with major breakthroughs in chip design, power utilization and programming", so it isn't a barrier, just a convenient number.
True but it may not have to be a direct collision. I wonder how close a one solar mass star would have to get to Earth to pull us out of orbit enough to effectively turn Earth into a lifeless planet.
Does anyone have simulation software that could be used to handle these kinds of questions? Windows/Linux/OSX, it doesn't matter.
A driverless car will certainly be overall more attentive than a human driver, but it also needs to be able to handle the unexpected things a human driver handles. The mundane tasks, sure - but how do you handle things like a tire blowout in a curved section of road with sand on it? As long as there are relatively common scenarios that crop up that a human can handle some reasonable percent of the time that the software can't, it's not ready for prime time. How do you failover when road conditions exceed the thresholds of the car? The software can't simply say "deal with it" and have the driver take over. Driver could have their hands full of coffee and iPads, be sleeping, or otherwise unaware of the situation.
Why would you assume the car cannot be programmed to handle the "relatively common scenarios" that you mention, especially something as common as a flat tire? With all of the additional sensory input a computer would have, it would easily be able to detect which tire popped and which tires have lost grip of the road in order apply the breaks differently to each tire, thus slowing down and staying in the lane that it still has its eyes on.
You do have an interesting point at the end though, what conditions are required for the car to release control to the driver, if ever? Does it have to pull off the freeway and park itself in order to give the person time to wake up or finish what they are doing?
I've been using wifi instead of ethernet for about 7 years now.
Bingo, I would wager that most households use wireless only now, since wireless only devices are becoming so popular. I just bought a house...not one inch of ethernet in the place. I don't know about you guys...but that would drive me crazy to make all my desktops wireless!
Dont you have to be connected to Steam to play the games? I bought Fallout Vegas from the store and it requires me to be connected to Steam at all times or I cant play.
Can you elaborate? I just disabled my network adapter and fired up NV. Blew that bighorner calf into bits...dinner time.
hehe yea true, I am astounded at the price of some kids toys these days, for how little they do. I guess I also follow the/. tradition even as a noob, I didn't read the price in the article! However thetoadwarrior is right, if Lego made the set, it wouldn't be that expensive. But still just plastic!
It sounds like you are just depending on people to email their issues straight to a developer. I would put up a web portal for bug reporting that includes pre-defined sections and issue types. For instance: "Main page >> graphical issue >> unreadable graphic" or "Product specific page >> functionality >> button issue".
Then have a "what were you trying to do" and a "what did you do" fill in section.
so is this like saying people who don't know anything about cars who think their cars don't need regular maintenance will make bad decisions about their car?
(yay first car analogy!)
Are we talking just a thin crust, or are we talking "gypsum quarry" size formations?
FTA:
The gypsum vein — which scientists spotted last month and nicknamed “Homestake” — is approximately the width of a human thumb and about 16 to 20 inches long.
USPS does need to get rid of a lot of it's current functions, they are redundant and wasteful compared to e-mail and privatized delivery (UPS/FedEx/etc) . USPS should serve as a government backed, secure mail service for things like legal documents where a physical piece of paper is necessary and next day delivery wouldn't be necessary. Any pure information is relayed through e-mail, and bulk packages are best handled by current delivery services that have much better customer experience and much more consistent results, probably because they aren't government workers. I also always figured the USPS made money from delivering so much spam mail to everyone, but I guess not.

This is just a browser extension that isn't using any Facebook APIs though, so it is not bound by the Facebook TOS and dev EULA.

Wow...
Road Rage caused by others being under THC influence will increase.
Seriously? You've never been around a high person have you?
addictive behavior will cause the exact same number of families to suffer and to be torn apart
Most studies say it is about as addictive as caffeine...most of it is psychological even, not physical.
bankruptcies due to marijuana consumption will go up while bankruptcies due to alcohol consumption will go down by the same number.
I'm just going to LOL at this one!
After all, burning gas in an engine produces useful work, burning it outside just produces a loud bang.
Best car analogy ever good sir!

Should be good enough to do what you want!

grrr, I just got goosebumps from reading this and hearing her voice in my head. Time to dig up the cd...
This would be part of it for me...I need the physical separation from the beer in the fridge!

Shill...for the internet?
they have more to worry about if elementary school students are voting!
Given e=mc^2, if we have the Higgs that gives things mass, could we theoretically manipulate it to turn matter into pure energy or vice versa?

so we can all buy this as a kit and have one for ourselves! Very nicely done!
