    yes they did for a VERY VERY BRIEF PERIOD, pre WWII little billy went to the saw mill before school and on weekends to earn the family a couple bucks, your dream like state of euphoria in suburbia only happened for a few decades, every other year recorded in history childeren worked to help support the family.

    Plugging premade boards into premade boards is not DIY electronics, otherwise my entire computer is DIY and yes I soldered a power connector onto one of the fans

    so to set all this up and program it, you could have still made it by traditional means in about the same cost and time

    only if you are a moron and live beyond your means

    thats a big problem, people think just cause they work hard they are entitled to a mc mansion, new car, loads of toys and the best of everything, it was never that way in the past

  9. Re:And guess how many vacation days we Americans g on Workaholism In America Is Hurting the Economy · · Score: -1, Troll

    I got 2 weeks up front for signing the paper on my first day of an entry level job + federal holidays, dunno what your problem is other than being a doormat.

    I know some bleeding heart is going to pop in and say economy and joblessness rates and blah blah blah, well I started in early 2012, and was unemployed since early 2011 and still worked nearly every single day thanks to one up jobs from the computer store around the corner when they got overwhelmed and seasonal temp jobs for more than minimum wage.

    the days I didnt work I was at multiple temp agencies and admittedly I sat on my ass for a couple weeks floating on savings after the initial fact. So don't boo hoo cause you grabbed the first trinket on the shelf and are now stuck with it

    the main source of sustenance was farming of one form or another, and sure they worked less hours as dictated by the sun, but even the most hardened desk jocky would fall over before the day's end

  12. programming a game is the same in any language on Ask Slashdot: Best Way to Learn C# For Game Programming? · · Score: 1

    I was thrown into the deep end with C# best way to learn it is to do it, that should be a no shit for anyone who has written in any language ever

    programming a game however requires a totally different way of thinking about the problem at hand, and it doesnt matter the language, its the methodology of writing a game, just like writing a db app is different from writing a website

    quit asking dumb questions, its a new to you language, do what you can and figure it out, god knows there's enough resources out there that even a non programmer like me can barf out fairly complex systems by basic programming structure + a bit of google within an hour.

    Let alone a bazillion XNA articles to make your game even though for some odd reason you think that the game is made by the underlying language and not the gameplay formulas involved, which usually best suit pencil and paper

    fuckem

    the last ubisoft game you should have bought was years ago when they were too busy treating paying customers like theives for sub par garbage and charging to fix it guised as DLC

    oh sure just like every other helmet you will get a demo disc, or since is 2014 they are too cheap to press a 1 cent CD and make you hog 8 gigs of internet bandwidth but still there will be nothing, always has

  16. Re:Occulus Rift on 4K Monitors: Not Now, But Soon · · Score: 1

    the last model I had from early 2000's actually weighed less than the rift (8 whole ounces total) had head tracking and displays on par with the then current resolutions (not to mention they only cost like 200 bucks), so the current trend seems to be a rubber band and not predictable by anyone

    head tracking has been around in toy grade vr helmets like the rift since the 90's ... those serial ports on them were not there for the sound
