    A serious answer is to not feel bad about using a framework like jQuery. It helps to know what jQuery's doing on the inside first and foremost.

    Yeah, but you've got to now load low res textures, midrange textures, blahblahblah.

    It's a huge hassle. Not to mention QA nightmare for game devs.

    My advice?

    Scotch.

    Lots and lots and lots of scotch.

    Preferably something that burns horribly on the way down and leaves you with a miserable hang over. Only because you've got to look forward to something that hurts less than JS development at the end of the day.

    The N64 memory upgrade was also thrown in free with Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong and most importantly, Zelda: Majora's Mask. It also helped that 3rd parties also put out RAM expansions too.

    Unless you mandate that older hardware works just as well as newer hardware, no.

    People will rush to point out things like Kinect, or PSMove, or WiiMotion Plus... Those are accessories. Often cheap too, relatively speaking. The CPU is still the same, the RAM is still the same, game compatibility is still the same(more or less; there are bizarre examples across the board). Having upgradable mass storage or expandable accessories doesn't break the underlying assumptions.

    I think that consoles should be "good enough." Big deal, Battlefield 3 looks amazing on PC. Surprise, it also looks amazing on Xbox and PS3. Increased levels of detail do improve immersion a LOT. But when there's a huge trade off between bleeding edge graphics and stability and compatibility, I'll lean towards stability and compatibility.

    Here's another author with a similar experience.

    Unlike payback for playbacks, Amazon's got a solid monetization plan behind KDP. It's also difficult to game too.

    errr no?

    The judge isn't asking for the defendant to incriminate themselves. There's all sorts of precedent to this with regards to obstruction cases.

    it's tacit approval from Paramount over the PADD design.

    Further more, to the point of the whole thread, no. Paramount shouldn't send an army of lawyers to Apple's doorstep. Unlike this guy, apple isn't putting 'PADD | STAR TREK | more SEO junk here" in their title tag of their product.

    Can you erase a song from your mind after you're done listening to it? Can you be absolutely sure that no work you do after seeing a painting will be influenced by what you've seen? Once you've been exposed to somebody's work, you're changed by it, if only by containing the memories you now possess. In time, this results in a shared language by people who have seen the work. When you watch Toy Story and you see Mr. Potato Head exclaim, "Hey, Look! I'm a Picasso!" you only understand that joke because his surrealist paintings are now part of our culture.

    No, but this doesn't grant you the right to torrent videos, music and games.

    It certainly opens up art for remixing, mashups, mods, reedits... But, beyond that? No, you're not entitled to media or art.

    So do I. I'm not guaranteed, nor do I have a right to make money off my career, though, I could be fired at any time, my skills could not be in demand. I may be forced to switch careers to make a living.

    No, it's not. But if you like a person's work, pay up and make sure they can afford to keep making art.

    I'm not necessarily going to bat here for mass media.. But a lot of my friends are artists, musicians, etc. If you want to enjoy their work, support them. Pay for their stuff. You have no right to just grab.

    If they don't need an audience, they're free to keep their work locked up in their house. Anyone breaking in and taking those will most certainly be stealing. If you want to disseminate your work, that's your choice, but the consequence is that you lose control of it.

    I'm not talking about stealing, I'm talking about entitlement and taking. No, you don't legally lose control of your work once it's been published. Not for many many years to come atleast. Which I wish were shorter, but it's not.

    Because you have no right to someone else's work?

    Until matter replicators become a reality, the hard truth is monied interests will still grab artists and performers by the balls because all the notions of good intentions and free culture doesn't put food on the table. However, the assholes in the entertainment industry are willing to pay if they're willing to work within their system.

    The difference between the XServe/XSan and the Mac Pro is that the Mac Pro is still selling pretty well, all things considered.

    I think Apple's of the mindset that as long as they're expecting developers to build on Macs for iPhone and iPad, as well as use Lightroom/FinalCut/etc. in production environments, there's a need for the Mac Pro.

    well, that's not their place to decide if we like the law or not. It's their place to decide if the law is being used appropriately, if it fits in the constitutional(on both state and federal levels) frameworks or if the law even makes sense or not.

    It's not their job to decide, for the most part, whether or not a law fits in the framework of what the people want. They shouldn't be forced to rule in favor or against something when pressured by the populace.

    You're willing to shoot someone dead because of SOPA/PIPA? Get. a. goddamned. GRIP. You have food, housing, lighting and yes, civil rights. Shocking, I know! I know! Despite what the internet tells you, you actually have rights; like being able to go on the internet and suggest we should take arms against our fellow Americans over what are largely white middle class first world problems. Maybe even insinuate we should shoot the president.

    I didn't like SOPA, PIPA or the DMCA but christ we do have actual problems. SOPA and PIPA would've done massive damage to the internet, there's no doubt.

    But to suggest that corruption and greed are so bad we should revolt? What's your plans on energy policy, interstate grazing rights, the trade gap, the housing market, wall street reform?

    On what level is it OK to shoot someone because you feel threatened that you can't rip DVDs of Space: Above and Beyond?
