I have a colleague working there, in the Oracle Campus, he said it's pretty bad. Broken roads, flash floods, people being rescued in the nick of time and such.
I find the "300,000" amount to be exaggerated. Let's say the man repaired 10 typewriters a day, every day. No breaks, No vacations, no Christmas. That's 3650 typewriters a year. In order to achieve 300,000 during his lifespan he should have done that for 82 years, non-stop. he died at 96 so he should have started work at 14, keeping the pace for 82 years....Well, I guess it's theoretically possible, but still...
The only civilized way to consume nicotine is by using Swedish snus (not American made snus crap like Camel). There's no spitting and very little risk to your health. Nobody will know you're using it unless you tell them. Some of it has enough nicotine to knock you on your ass. If you're a smoker and switch to Swedish snus, you'll never want another cigarette.
I can't help by imagining what would happen if you continuously typo the first "s" from "snus"...

Can I lol? i7 3770K with 3.9 GHz stock speed can easily reach 5 GHz aircooled with an NH-D14 with stock fans. That's almost 30% more clock speed. My older 2.66 GHz E6750 reached 3.46 GHz cooled by a Scythe Ninja 1 and would overheat with the stock Intel cooler at 3 GHz.
It's all just in your mind, I tell ya. The mobos *are* tough. I once dropped a mobo on a corner from my hand, I was SURE I totally broke it... I was wrong. You can try this: stack 5 sheets of regular size printer paper, drill 4 holes in it, roughly 2 inches apart, in form of a square, bolt a 2-pound cooler on them and hold the paper vertically, so that the cooler hangs just like from a motherboard. They will hold.
Yeah, forgot to mention that I only have one case fan, which I left there because it was harder to take out (it's next to the secondary HDD cage at the bottom in my Antec P182). It's a Scythe Gentle Typhoon running at 500 rpm, so inaudible.
Noctua NH-D14 is an absolute monster. It silently cools my i5-2400 even while doing video encoding. It's why I bought the damn thing, so that I can enjoy the silence. (well, my GPU disagrees while I game but when that happens my ears are covered by headphones so I couldn't care less).
If you want numbers, 4-core video encoding at 100% raises my CPU temperature to 55 degrees (Celsius) but I set the NH-D14 fans to start spinning when temperature goes over 60 degrees (Celsius).
Exoplanet-observing was an activity. The program opens that activity to people previously not able to perform it. Watching the sky != observing exoplanets. It was actually impossible to even try to detect exoplanets with affordable hardware, now it's possible. That equates to "opening up" a specific activity which is a subset of "watching the sky".
Sadly, it's a matter of expenses stripped to the bone. The "testers" have targets to fill. Here, you have 1000 apps to test and 3 days to do it. You miss this target twice, you get fired.
It's a method I've seen (generally) pretty much everywhere. UAT or internal testing is considered "money sink" and its attached expenses are minimized by all means. I would frankly have been surprised if the testing method were to be any different.
Well, frankly one of my BIG issues with Windows 8 was the lack of popular software availability for the Metro GUI. It's actually one of the main reasons why I don't have it installed.
1. You do it for money and then you suck it up. 2. You do it for fun and then you don't care. There's no official community. You put a fake/unmonitored e-mail address as contact and release what you want, how you want it.
Part of good game development business practice is to NEVER have developers talking directly to fans or viceversa. There should be middlemen who do that, namely community coordinators, moderators and such.

Oh my, the genius boy who doesn't like music. :)
Therefore, if you listen to music, you're dumb

Then, unsurprisingly, the title, summary AND TFA are all misleading.

I think this functionality depends on how the game is implemented, rather than what Steam can do about it.

Actually, the stock NH-D14 has one 140mm and one 120mm fan.

I hope that explains it for you...
Thank you, good sir, I really needed a good laugh.
They could have gone with Koka Kola :)
Boom headshot.
Yes, there's plenty people with plenty great ideas, and then they get tangled in politics and realize it's impossible.
We have a saying around here (roughly translated): On your way to god, the saints will eat you alive.
No, I didn't. If you would have read my post carefully, you would have realized that.
Apparently other people did expect it, though.

if you're a one-man show you have two paths:
1. You do it for money and then you suck it up.
2. You do it for fun and then you don't care. There's no official community. You put a fake/unmonitored e-mail address as contact and release what you want, how you want it.

Also let the wind blow.
Oh yes, they value(d) 1h saved every few years, suuure.
With the insane amount of people watching retarded Tv shows for hours in a row, I kind of find your statement... stretched at best.
No, sir, YOU are an idiot. You have no reading comprehension whatsoever.
"it" means "kinect attached to the Xbox One".
"a substantial portion of the population" implies "who will buy the XBox one" - be it 10 people, 1000 or a billion.
And I don't live in the USA anyway.
(yes, I promised myself to not answer ACs but you, sir, are a gem - in the bad sense)
Oh my, never thought of that :)
