I think they were referring more to the "why talk about it until you're ready to release it" method rather than "talk about it, then talk about it, then tease, then wait, then release".
The Swiss did apologize but most of the jews were unable to reclaim their belongings from the banks. If I remember correctly, one of the vaults even contained gold from the gold teeth from death camps.
I bought this game in Alpha stage because I saw videos of what people were doing with it on Youtube. The fact that this is a game which allows for so much creativity is what drew me to it. A kid who made a fully functional computer _inside_ the game is exactly why it's so appealing. I love the blocky graphics and the ethereal music. The generated worlds are full of surprises and interesting little crevices and caves to explore.
My only complaint is that the game is written in Java. I understand why it was, but my true dream would be to have a version written in C maybe, in a tight little EXE. If they could do with Minecraft what was done with Kkrieger, I would be excited beyond measure. Because of what this game is, there is no reason I know of why it needs to hog resources and load up a huge Java environment. Kkrieger was done years ago, even.
From the image you posted this project looks a lot more polished and refined than I was expecting. I would be proud to run a server/network running your software.
In many of those cases it was as part of what the allies considered repayment for their debts and losses in WWII due to the war and aggression of Germany. Germany had no money to repay at the time, so the allies took technology as part of the "spoils of war". For their own part, most of the scientists were allowed to continue their research and were given their lives back. Also, I don't recall any historical sources I've read claiming that the technology was invented entirely by the US... they all stated those facts of acquisition.
The first pc game I bought in 7 years was Minecraft. It was 13 dollars, and I get every dime's worth. However, I also just spent 62 dollars on Fable 3 and couldn't be happier. The work that went in to it is apparent though. The story and environment is excellent.
I love pure sandbox games! I do the missions of course because I want more abilities, money to purchase items in-game, and I want to open the worlds to see everything. The main bit for me is still exploring. I like to see the places, the buildings, find hidden caves or rooms. In GTA: San Andreas, part of the most fun for me was getting people in my "gang" so they followed me around and then hop in a car and drive to the woods out in the country. They looked stupid trying to be "gangsta" in the woods, it was funny to me. Also seeing what things I could jump on a motorcycle, or what mountains I could climb in what car.
Just Cause 2 is perfect because you can use the grapple hook to tie things together and see what happens. The in-game world is HUGE, and you can fly around in a jet forever without finding all of the secrets. Red Dead Redemption was so immersing for me that I wanted to buy some cowboy boots and eat baked beans.
I think everyone can appreciate GTA Vice City if they were a kid in the 80's. Driving around with the radio on is great for nostalgia, and I never would have guessed that 80's pop music was the perfect hit and run soundtrack. Sure, I could beat all of these without too much difficulty. I still had a great time. A game is not fun if you never get to progress in it.
Also, I got Fable 3 last night. So far it is all I hoped it would be. The story is very cool.
Yes! Yes I have a life outside of videogames, so leave me alone!
I personally have an android phone, it's a Galaxy S. I love it and have no complaints at all. I have plenty of storage for movies and music, and this one came with Avatar on it. The problem is I need my phone available for email, voice and texts. If I listened to music on it like I do with my little Sansa Fuze then the battery wouldn't be enough to last me a day. If these things start getting enough battery life to handle everything then I would gladly move to one device for everything, but until then I have to prioritize.
Maybe I'm missing something, but why would you care if they don't want you using linux on your company machine? It's their machine, their group policies and their own software. That makes perfect sense to.
I also don't quite understand all of the talk about working for microsoft and "morals". Does Microsoft advocate beating puppies? Do they poo on old ladies door handles? Your opinions are your opinions and I'm sure you have them for a reason, but sometimes I think people over-analyse their lives. Most people are in financial situations where their only priorities are 1. Will this pay well enough and 2. Will I not cry at my desk everyday.
If you were raised in a large city, chances are you will prefer to stay there and will think of all sorts of terrible things about the rural areas. Same situation if you were raised in a rural place. It's purely a matter of preference. Some people like to be in densely populated areas, walking everywhere. They prefer no yard to keep up, the many different cultures around (although I might argue that to see most of those cultures you have to go to the part of the city that they live in, I.E. Chicago's Little Italy, Little Mexico, Little Korea, the "black" part of town). In the rural areas, you get lots of space cheaply, lower crime, traffic, when you drive where you choose there is always easy and free parking. This is just how it is. People almost always prefer what they were raised on, and getting them to change is nigh on impossible.
The point of it was never to be exciting, it was so people who can't afford Windows can still use Windows based software and use an environment they're comfortable with and used to.
This is a case of money. He didn't pay, and they didn't want to put out the fire "for free". They should have gone anyway but then billed him for the full cost of the deployment. That's what would happen if he didn't have insurance but broke his arm right?
Even still, he should have had the fee paid before hand. Especially if you're letting your dumb kid burn crap in your yard.
I skimmed it, and while I didn't find that part, I still fail to see the marvel of a stick figure drawing robot. It drew a penis, and there was no visible penis. I assume it makes parts up as it goes. So... people are to look at the picture, and instead of a face, look for the penis or breasts (or even more simply, the pink picture or the blue picture). Since there was a guy on the right and a woman on the left it appears as if it doesn't recognize male or female either, it just knows to draw a woman on the left or man on the right. Since I am new to slashdot posts, I'm working on posting my comments before thoroughly reading the articles. Sorry.
This thing just drew loops and a pre-school quality wangdoodle. Is there something more to this that I missed? I expected it to sketch out a face or something.
I often like to sit on my couch to use my laptop at home. It's the most convenient to cross my legs with the laptop sitting on top. I have had burns on my leg from the laptop's heat. It heated up slowly enough that I didn't notice until there was a full burn. I know I am not nearly the first one to have this problem. Isn't this the reason in 2000-2002 they were switching to the name "Notebook" instead of "Laptop"?
Obviously everyone knows that. Part of the humor in sarcasm is oversimplification for humors sake. I'm glad you don't stress about everything in life or you're going to get ulcers.
I've been playing Red Dead Redemption a lot. I've been dying for a chance to go to the store and barter for what I want with furs and gold pieces. I want to make the angry high school kid at Sonic take out his scales to measure the cost of my chili dog.

I thought it was that they were sending them to Iraqi soldiers, knowing that Iraqis were beating and abusing them? Or have I misunderstood?

The FAQ on LibreOffice actually states that their hope is for Oracle to donate the OpenOffice name back to them once the legal issues are resolved.
And slavery. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president.

Because with the economic woes, war in Afghanistan going poorly... we need to rush to uncapitalize the signs in New York. Or the terrorists win.
I'd prefer not to have monkeys throwing poop while I'm getting tasty treats from concessions.
Did they poke holes for her to breathe, or did they cut little head holes so she could wear it like a tiny parka?

And if she's wearing edible panties, you have an emergency food supply after the disaster hits!
