I wasn't aware EA had grabbed up Maxis.
I played the shit out of Sim City and Widget Workshop growing up.
I had heard another sim city was being released and I was kind of excited, but ugh, not anymore.
Fuck you EA.
social scientists could not possibly have picked a worse population from which to draw broad generalizations
Uh, that's because America is diverse as fuck. Hell, humanity is diverse as fuck.
Trying to draw accurate yet broad generalizations about humanity are impossible.
...over humans.
Here's hoping we eventually get to the point where both sides just deploy robots, and whichever has robots standing at the end wins.
Lets stop wasting young lives.
I know there's a handful of companies (one of which I'll be switching too soon) that advertise unlocking your phone and joining their cheaper service.
But hey, they're not the big 4, so what does the government care, right?
"Why didn't he just remove the key?"
There's a possibility he didn't have one.
The Laguna featured a 'keyless' ignition system which, instead of a key, used a credit card style device to unlock the car and start the engine. -Wikipedia
Did someone at Amazon tell their boss that you can patent the most bullshit things, and they're just seeing what the biggest BS patent they can get is?
I've been a fan of my ps3 since I bought it, as a good chunk of my friends have it, the games on it tend to focus less on "OMG SHOOTER GAME#1232".
Awhile ago there wasthat story on the ps4 having the "fee for used games" thing, as well as account locks. I immediately discarded the idea of buying a ps4, thought maybe i'd buy the next gen microsoft console instead, despite hating shooting games.
Well, looks like I'm not getting this either. Guess I'll just have to get a Wii-U/stick to PC.
As much as I rag on Nintendo for being sub-par, at least they haven't become douchebaggy yet.
I was actually talking about this with a friend, the fact is stuff that years ago I would have consider groundbreaking are discovered left and right.
The problem is people these days are desensitized to such things, not that I blame them.
Can you imagine trying to explain to someone 20 years ago that you have a device in your pocket that lets you, just about anywhere, access all the world's knowledge?
The reason you don't "see" any inventors is because of the massive hoard of lawyers that would come after any public inventor.
People who invent tend to keep it to themselves, because they'd never turn a profit after all the lawsuits.
Most Republicans I know, when faced with facts against their leaders, would simply blow it off, saying I'm listening to much to the "leftist media"
However, on the same token, when I presented Democrats with facts against what their leaders said, they'd tell me to "stop being a sheeple listening to faux news"
The fact of the matter is is that facts don't matter, people will believe who and whatever is more convenient to them.
I can't be arsed to find it, but awhile back there was a story about a guy who had agents mistakenly arrest him at gunpoint.
It turned out his neighbor was using his wifi to download child porn, but they thought it was him.
Until you can guarantee something like that won't happen (as well as removing bandwidth caps), mine will be staying under lock and key.
There have been several times where I was asked to print out and fax back documents.
I've told them no, filled out the documents with the text adding tool in MSPaint and used a mouse to make a signature and emailed it back.
They had no complaints, and if a complete idiot like myself can do this, they yes, it/is/ trivial.
It's almost as if this organization has no idea how the web works.
Wow, they sound like people from that old and expensive form of media.
You know, those things that are all dying out because they're no longer needed?
Hmm, what were they called again?
According to a coalition of Irish newspapers
Ohh, that's right, newspapers! Haha, man, that sure takes me back.
Yes, because video games are totally the only thing violent in our society.
Books, movies, cartoons and hell, even the/news/, totally don't display graphic violence at all. Nope.
The problem is never what's on the screen, it's the mental idiot that decides he should bring fantasy into reality.
Slashdot Mirror
Huh. I don't know then.
I'm going to assume it's because only recently has EA fallen into my "avoid buying" list.
First thing I'd want to do is rub my hands together and look generally menacing in front of this wall, just to see what it would say.

But Texas legislators are apparently quite concerned that private citizens operating hobby drones might spot environmental violations by businesses.
Only in this backwards ass state is finding people breaking the law considered a bad thing.
Who wants to take bets on how many days it is until we get the first false positive story?
enjoy ... Internet Explorer
Haha, good one.
because it 'removed the need for the enhanced pat-down.
Or you could just, you know, let people pass through the metal detectors.
You know, how all airports used to do, and smaller ones STILL do?

A Renault technician had been on the phone with police throughout the chase trying to help but couldn't come up with a solution.
You know, I'm willing to bet this guy suggested all these things, and since you know how the story ends, they didn't work.
There's a possibility he didn't have one.

drastically overestimated peak flu levels
So do most "professionals" that study it.
H1N1 was so incredibly over-hyped, for example.

Who would want to shine on a country full of idiots who take Fox "News" seriously?

...Apple's been maintaining a false scarcity of their products for who knows how many years.
I'm surprised they didn't already have this patented.

"When you do things that are bad for the customer I think it will be bad for them.”
Oh how I wish this was true, so many companies (apple included) wouldn't be in business anymore if this was the case.
