It's also addressing well understood problems. I designed quite a few levels in the various id Tech engines and what I would do for the fake vs real doors was to have some kind of indicator, perhaps a different colour light or design to distinguish them. For cases where the entire world shouldn't be drawn due to performance reasons, I would insert an antiportal into the doors, which would prevent anything behind the doors from being drawn until the door was actually opened. For the issue of having a door lock after a player passed through, I used a series of triggers.
I paid about $15 per 12W LED lightbulb (800 lumens, 60W incandescent replacement) and that was well worth it. Each bulb has a 5 year warranty and estimated lifespan of 21 years.
I was tooling around in the freebie Advanced Escort for a long time. I recently acquired a Fleet Chimera Heavy Destroyer in exchange for just 20,000 fleet credits and a single 500 zen ship module, though you do have to be Vice Admiral rank and your fleet has to have a tier 2 Dyson sphere spire in order to get it. The nice thing is even if I didn't want to spend $5 on the ship module, it really wouldn't take much time to earn/mine enough dilithium to exchange for the zen, I just tend to put all of my earned dilithium into the fleet unless I have a project that needs it, which is pretty seldom.
I'm glad they added ship loadouts. It makes it easy to swap your best gear out between ships so that you can use whichever one you want for a task instead of using one and having seven (or more) collecting dust.
This is how I feel about Star Trek Online. It's not the greatest game, but you can play through the storyline and participate in combat or events without ever feeling like the game is giving unfair advantages to paying players. It's probably one of the most fair systems I have seen in a free MMO and I have spent small amounts over the course of several years on it specifically because I wanted to help support it.
Or gog.com for that matter. I know they get new stuff sometimes, but the majority of their library are older games. That said, newer isn't always better.
Running the actual demo is perhaps a better way to show it off. More impressive that way:)
From the readme:
windows 7 / directx 11 required
high end directx 11 gpu required
ati 7970 or nvidia 680 recommended
due to the intense pixel work, max 720p resolution recommended
I scan all of my receipts, bills, product manuals, boxes, etc. into my PC and recycle the physical waste. This way I can quickly and easily sort and search. It also makes it simple to make backups or place copies online that I can access at any time from anywhere.
I still don't see a need. I already get unlimited SMS on my mobile plan and those don't eat into my internet quota. I also don't know a single person who uses WhatsApp, but I do know many who use GTalk/Hangouts and Live Messenger/Skype.
If there is something special about WhatsApp, I'm having a difficult time seeing it.
What exactly can Whatsapp do that a free IM client can't? I am genuinely curious as I can't see anything special about it from the Google Play description.
The law isn't black and white. There are degrees of seriousness and police need to manage their time to most effectively pursue the people who are causing real trouble.
I have had police let me go for being drunk or stoned in public before, simply because I wasn't causing problems and they have bigger fish to fry.
Meanwhile, the real "creative professionals" skipped the wait and got PCs. There is nothing you can do on a Mac that you can't do as well or better on a PC.
I think it's a good idea for weeding out slackers. For instance, any boss who needs to employ a system like this is obviously not doing, or incapable of doing, their job and should be fired.
I am looking at these. I really don't see anything that distinguishes it from a "normal" PC. I guess the three year onsite repair is something you don't normally get.
They are no more capable of serving files or data than my laptop is. The server title for those particular machines is just that, a title, not a computer category.

The Witcher 2 was also released without DRM on gog.com.

That is what difficulty settings are supposed to be for.
I have been using 8GadgetPack to get my gadgets back in Windows 8.x.
The point is a person who is exposed to only JRPGs will never understand just how limited they are until they try a CRPG.

I felt that way about all of the Bioshock games. What I'd like to see is a System Shock 3 that lives up to its predecessors.

Easy, we just need to take a closer look at Canopus.

There is no such thing as Android 2.4. The last 2.x version was 2.3.7
Yes but many things are never just strictly legal or illegal. They become legal or illegal depending on a number of other factors. That's the point.

That's just it, I don't see anything special there. Those are similar to the standard components that I would choose to put into a mid range PC build.
I don't believe that was ever the point.

Ah well. A rose by any other name and all that.

Apple wouldn't exist if it weren't for Woz. Some might consider that a good thing, but I'm guessing you're not one of them.
