I agree, except that I would have finished earlier and for the last part:
I watch with a sad sort of amusement as if my old college dorm where I spend so many good parts of my life is burning to the ground because the homeowner thought it would be a good idea to replace all woodwork with whitespace.
Had to change the password on an old account that I forgot the password to and had to access recently.
The trick to get past the 'password not secure enough' error is simply to turn off adblock for that moment.
Was driving me nuts, when I was trying 30+ random-char, unmemorizable passwords that would probably satisfy ~95% of all password requirements and still getting that stupid error, until I found the solution.
While I'm not an EVE player, and haven't played a perma-death MMORPG, I've had my fair share of Meridian59, Asheron's Call, Shadowbane, and Darkfall to value the adrenaline rush of possibly loosing (at least) all your gear in a fight. Maybe also control of a city/territory or spawn that you'd have to painstakingly build/conquer again. Nothing quite like jumping on a much more experienced player at the right moment and getting some high-end gear (much) earlier than expected.
From my experience a good PvP system creates a lively atmosphere and the *need* to join alliances and guilds/clans. However,
there are usually also a lot of whiners that landed in the wrong game, there are usually also a lot of (power-tripping/sociopath) assholes exploiting their experience against newbies, and there are usually guilds one can join as a newbie that will help you get on your feet and hunt rampaging player-killers for you.
There are also different age-groups/maturity levels of the players and as a more mature player, you would usually ignore comments like "hardcore enough." As a mature player, you would probably also stick to FPS or other games, where you don't need to play 10 hours a day every day to stand a chance.
YMMV.
Yet, IMHO and SCNR, games where you have to formally agree to a duel (due to game mechanics/rules) suck donkey balls and are for pussies.;)
That's all well and good for writing it. But not so much for recording it.
Huh?! You serious? Logic/ProTools is like the default setup for recording, mixing, composing, and editing.
We're not talking about avant-gardists, mind you, so no PD, Max, Audiosculpt (and other IRCAM stuff), etc.
Yes, there's Live, Reason, Sonar, DP, and a couple of other packages, but standard is Logic and/or ProTools. Period.
what sort of deal would you try to strike with everybody's favorite secrets-leaker?
He should be part of a newly formed commission on the protection of privacy along with proven ACLU members. The commission should have rights to amend, extend and modify laws connected to handling of information and constitutional rights Something like a constitutional court.
Along with a medal, parade and a pardon.
Saying the word house in English, Spanish, or French does not provide additional worldviews.
Maybe not the word house, and maybe not in English, Spanish or French, but it sure is mentally stimulating to discover that after learning Greek, you suddenly understand a lot more words in many other languages you didn't think you knew before, just because that's where many roots lie, or have doctors ask you if you're a colleague, because you suddenly understand most of the terms describing situations of your body malfunctions just by looking at the words. Similar goes for Latin.
Fortunately, you mention that languages are a gateway to foreign cultures. To authentic foreign cultures. If you can actually talk to native people when you go abroad you can actually learn a whole way of life and more.
And I'm fucking sure that being tetra-lingual or poli-lingual gets a person more advantages over a mono, or even bi-lingual person of similar education and/or mental capacity. In most situations, but especially when trying to learn new concepts.
If we draw a parallel to computer languages, which I am quite hesitant to do, since most of them are English-based and representations of control flow or logic, I'm sure you'd agree that you can learn a new programming language faster after having spent some time with other programming languages before.
Oh yeah, it does help learning to pronounce a language correctly, if you actually want to talk not listen to people make jokes about you talking. Just as it makes sense learning the correct syntax and quirks of a programming language, but I guess that's just general care.
Unfortunately, not many people I met from English-speaking countries can pronounce other languages indistinguishable from a native speaker, for some weird ass reason, while the opposite is not the case.
So yeah, the mind is a muscle, perhaps look into the concept of neuroplasticity. The more you think, the better you get.
And yes, it is fucking important to learn other languages regardless of where you're from. Even if it is for the sole purpose of appearing less ignorant when faced by someone speaking that other language. It's also a great way to make new friends (at least as long as other people keep ignoring this advice).
Even hook up with chicks, imagine that. ; )
One more response:
Let them fuck up (again), we'll just switch/port/fork.
Seriously, the general concept of integrating programs between each other and the (mostly) unobtrusive UI that let's you stay focused on your task is already here. It'll just get copied and expanded upon, end of story.
They've pioneered, proposed a direction and many went along, but it's not like Apple's got a monopoly on innovation and attention to detail.

Who cares about your trolling, offtopic comment?
Go fuck Beta!

FTFY
Slashdot Beta sucks balls! Fuck beta!
There should be a law that says "Assume guilt, apply maximum penalty, put people in jail" when stuff like slashdot beta happens.
FTFY!
Why don't browsers come with a generic scripting engine
They do, it's called JavaScript.
LLVM IR? Here you go
Your other request inverted, compile CIL to JS: jsil.org

I'm sure the point was that most packages are also available as binaries for ARM.

BTW, here's a wikipedia article on the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...
and PvP in general: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...
You sound like a WoW player opposed to open-PvP sandbox environments. No risk, no fun.
Just use two networks, route between them and keep your old tech. What's the big deal?
like a REAL PROFESSIONAL in a niche application uses
FTFY. Hyperbolize much?

How the hell do you have a graphical user interface without anyone having ever written any software for it?
More importantly, how the hell are you going to have the workers themselves automate their job away, willingly?

That's what he stated, but I'm sure he knows the keys to those shared encrypted files...
Dubious idea. Some countries prohibit you to share your network connection or face the consequences for any non-legal use of it.

They forgot to mention it's the last of the states to adopt that... I hope... Not.
there must be some clause related to actually testing your junk before releasing updates
Yeah, the clause is called feature flags. That guy was the randomly selected tester. ; )
a sword was a good weapon, but sadly the gurus didn't include an upgrade clause
Just imagine a Sikh with a lightsaber...
Because 'rck' is more difficult to pronounce than 'Mer.'
Having Yoda teach you to be a Jedi is more effective than becoming a Jedi by yourself.
The thing is, there's not an awful lot of Yodas around these days, more like a bunch of C3POs teaching how to move around gracefully and unnoticed...

No, it will run a proprietary mechanism, where you pay per thought.
