People consistently rate the last few Presidents among the best ever because they've got goldfish memories. For some reason, Reagan has be exalted on the Right for things he never did and never believed in.
I'm in a habit that when I see a headline like this, I just *assume* it's bullshit and move straight to the comments to find the physicists who refute the claims. Even if it's true, just by the sensationalism Slashdot headlines starting bringing us I'm going to assume false.
Because Oracle don't give a shit about Java. They snagged Sun probably thinking they'd get Google by the balls. No doubt, the board at Sun had some hand in convincing them of that.
People can't be trusted to make informed, rational, and moral decisions. How often to posters bitch about how much they hate content they dump tons of time/ money into and pirate content they claim to love? There's a reason so many producers of movies, music, and games add wide-scale appeal elements (look at the CoD-ification of Battlefield 3).
I second this. Go through and strip out what you might need for backups and spot fixes like wires and connectors, and pitch the rest. I've kept a ton of old hardware mostly for naught. Technology simply progresses too quickly to make any of it useful and the fuss of wrestling with old hardware just isn't worth your time.
Now, if anything is decent you might want to consider donating to a non-profit or a high school for kids to tinker around with.
How did the White House bluff? People have goldfish memories. The sequester wasn't a solution, it was crafted as an awful consequence to not getting a deal done after the elections. Somehow it's being spun as Obama's plan (that Boehner said contemporaneously gave him 98?% of what he wanted) no doubt because Republicans know how unpopular the cuts will be once they take place, yet they're simultaneously running around bragging about what a good idea they are.
You're looking at the budget as a monolithic blob. There are programs that are already underfunded and some that are ripe with waste. As inexplicable as it might seem, some organizations don't have that much wiggle room. In some cases, contracts have been signed, people have been relocated, buildings have been leased. When you cut 5% across the board, you're taking the simplistic approach to a complex problem and hoping that someone else works out the details.
I like this. It makes the game more challenging. You can't just safe at your own opportune moment. It changes your playing strategy. If you have a "save anywhere" game, that outright eliminates the need for cautious play.
WoW's auction house is probably the weakest part of their UI and it's still infinitely better the Eve's tiny menus and their crappy filtering options. The information icon scheme sucks as does their comparison UI. You spend tons of time trying to find information in Eve.
I know it's popular to slam a game that probably still has 10 million subscribers, but let's not rewrite history.
Eve should hire Blizzard developers to come in and revamp the UI. Maybe it's because Eve has a lot of information to present, but as fun as the game is the UI sucks. Far too menu driven especially when you're combat.
I kinda liked the hero; especially the dwarf. The sound effects in that game are classic. Can't remember tghe last time I played it and I still find myself imitating them in context:
Reagan would've just funneled arms to China through Israel to bribe them to stop. Then, made a half-assed ambiguous apology on national TV when he was caught.
I've only looked at a few projects from the 70s to 80s, but aviation contracting is chocked full of bullshit promises and bribes to beat out the other guy. Contractor A uses corporate spies to find out what Contractor B's bid will be, then promises to do it in 75% of the time for 75% of the cost. If that doesn't work, promise the colonel running the evaluation a juicy 7-8 executive job after retirement. Boeing has been busted a couple times doing this.
After you've got the contract, it doesn't matter how long how much it takes for you to finish since the government is locked in based on how much they've already invested in you. So long as you keep it cheaper for the government to stay with you rather than axe the program and start over with Contractor B. PROFIT!
It's getting there with a ship that will provide an ethically adequate living environment for the crew. I'm not too interested in seeing play-by-play on an astronaut's decent into madness.
...how they've tried to treat a primarily single-player FPS like it's primarily multiplayer. I ran through DS 1 and 2 and never got much exposure to weapons because of the slow upgrade rate speed. it was like they assumed you'd play it 4-5 times through. My favorite single players I run through *maybe* 2 times. They need to scale everything back to the 1-2 runs most players will actually spend.
I imagine that they're giong to crank up the difficulty so you have to buy stuff to finish the game.

Compared to Adobe?
She could've belched or farted to propel herself to a wall. Oh wait, women don't do either...

That's the same argument guys use for cheats. "Everyone else playing is an unemployed dropout and I just don't ahve the time."

I just checked for articles and they've still got 10 million subscribers as of a year ago. Wasn't the peak 12 million or so?

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
I see intrusion attempts from China and I blame China. Check your SSH logs dude!

My guess is we've been at it for longer and much better since you *aren't* hearing anything about it.

I got slapped in a bar for that once.

Actually I like the way ads are added ingame to titles like Battlefield 2142 with the real billboards and posters.
