For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
Seems like it includes building and installation to me.
That was my take on the characters being the point of contention. Sure they used the same names, but the actual characters themselves? It felt like they were different characters altogether.
I still have to criticize Nvidia. I don't know if this has been done before on previous cards or not (which doesn't make it ok), but when you advertise a certain amount of memory with no indication that part of that memory performs differently/worse, then that's just wrong.
Would it be okay if 0.5GB of the 4GB was the pool that actually ran at full speed? I mean technically you still get 4GB... no sane person would say yes. It's not much different than what is happening with the GTX 970 and I think Nvidia should totally be accountable for it.
At 4 MBps, I can stream a couple of 1080p videos simultaneously...
Yes, me too. But not without interruptions.
If you want to use 1080p videos as the metric, look at YouTube. Most 1080p videos have a bitrate averaging 4+ mbps. Have fun playing two 1080p videos wanting 8 mbps in total. Hell, have fun trying to do anything else that uses a fair amount of bandwidth while watching a 1080p video.
There are over 7 billion humans on this planet. People are dying everyday. In our entire lives, most of us will not do anything worth noting and are primarily focused on self preservation. Without the crutch of something like religion, the harsh reality is easy to see: we are insignificant. Just another burial in a very long history.
I think the ubiquitous sanctity for human life is overrated too.
I also have a problem with that as a metric. I'm not convinced that the amount of triggers used actually mean anything. It all depends on what a "role-playing game" meant to these kids and what goals were actually being attempted. If all you wanted, perhaps as a first step, was a character that talked to other characters, why would you use any other trigger?
Wrong. The definition says 'advocacy'. Just because someone does not advocate it, does not necessarily mean they disagree with it.
Also, there is feminism the word and then there is feminism the movement. That Henry James quote pretty much sums up the feminist movement. Even people who have considered themselves feminists before are dropping the label because of how ugly the feminist movement behaves.
Yes, they would totally not make any money off of this... well except from the rich people who are actually willing to pay for this exact thing. Sounds to me like they have a valid business strategy already. If something else comes out of it, then that's a bonus.
Most games are created to make money. People see what is selling and they just cobble together some crap to try and make some easy money. There are people who do it out of love, but those are definitely few and far between.
All you need to do is pay some guy (maybe a kid from high school because this shit is not rocket science) ONCE and it would be substantially better than not configuring anything at all.
Yes, putting his projects under GPL was not legal in the first place because it linked to non-GPL code, but he knows this. What he's trying to do is get the server code to be GPL'd to validate his license and until then he wants to stop the use of his code.
What I want to know is what happens to code that uses an invalid license and then is distributed. Does it default to an implied copyright the same way works released without licenses do? Or is that nullified when a license is chosen? What the hell happens exactly and what does it mean for third-party software that rely on that code?
Curious. How is that a meme? Other than to refer to the actual Quinn controversy, I have never seen the term Quinnspiracy used in any noticeable capacity.
There are games that want to push the limits of PC hardware and have all the fancy bells and whistles and if that's what you want, then those are the games you should get, but why do you expect every game to be that way? Why is it wrong to optimize for the lowest common denominator to, say, reach a wider audience? Not everything needs to be at the cutting edge. Just making the game fun is a worthwhile goal in itself.
Generally speaking, all instances of a given product from a manufacturer should not be significantly different in quality. Otherwise the value is not consistent and it would be unfair to price it all the same.
Well, the list price is the same no matter what platform. I think console gamers might get butthurt if they spent the same amount of money and on another platform the game looks a lot better. There is something to be said about delivering a somewhat consistent experience across different platforms. Getting that extra quality through a DLC doesn't seem all that unreasonable.
I think you mean this thread is filled with experienced software developers that, all the time, thoroughly go through multiple case scenarios and determine which ones are necessary. This is shit you intuitively know if you work with any kind of software (game or not).
Of all the companies that I've applied to (and I've applied to a lot), none really seemed to care about any work I've done. I have an application that has a couple hundred regular users (which I'd like to think is pretty damn good as far as obscure open source projects go) that I've been maintaining for the past year but this has not improved my prospects at all. I've also learned various technologies and started projects around them but all of it seems like an exercise in futility. The gross generalization that all you need is to have decent code samples to get a job seems like complete bullshit to me.
Many studies suggest that the better players don't typically "see" the bad moves. If you ask a good player who's analyzed a position for a few minutes about a bad move, they will require more time to answer questions about the bad move.
This happens everywhere. Not just games. If you get so used to doing things in a certain way, thinking outside that box becomes more difficult.
I have to agree. No matter how much of an asshole view a person has, they should be able to act on their belief within the law without being condemned for it. The thing that really gets me is that they took it to his employer. If you have a political problem, fight that problem on the political stage. Don't bring that crap to the workplace!
A "redundant" comment will get a pass because that mod is a waste of mod points. A person would more likely save mod points for an approval/disapproval rather than use them for something neutral like "redundant".
I'm trying to think of where education went wrong such that it produces people like you that think effort should be rewarded.
Students should not expect a grade of A on a test just because they tried hard. They should expect it because they produced a sufficient amount of correct answers. Likewise, an amateur carpenter should not expect to be paid more for a birdhouse he constructed just because it required more effort than would have been exerted by a skilled carpenter. The worth should represent the results and not the effort it took to produce them.
It is a shame that it is common practice to add the weight of effort into the value of a product and nobody stops to think twice about it.
In a professional context, you should behave professionally or you're not very professional. This doesn't mean you should take everything lying down, but acting like a total ass is definitely not something you should do.

After skimming the GPLv2, found under section 3:

How about not? Each article has its own comment section for a reason.

It would be disingenuous to use the term primarily for women regardless of the distribution.

Obviously, it does affect the score. However, I was not talking about score. It is neutral in the sense that it does not convey an opinion.
