You are just redefining terms. More to the point you are assuming the state of hard disks, the state of RAM, the state of the power grid, the state of the worlds atmosphere and oceans, the state of the crust of the earth and the state of cosmic radiation when you believe your post will appear. How is that not faith that everything will be alright with the server between when you start writing your comment and when you post it? Show me the science that the slashdot servers aren't about to explode. Oh, you don't have it? what do you have? Faith in their engineers and processes.
No, we know about all of that stuff. Ben Franklin was pretty much all about France. That was France back then, once you have a revolution you stop being France from 1776 and start being a bunch of surrender monkeys. Napoleon was an alright dude as far as historical figures go (as in not a stinky douche), and I tend to play as Louis the XIV in Civ. Ever since the storming of the bastille, you guys have pretty much been bagette waving losers.
People have been making fun of the French for a long time, it had nothing to do with Iraq. Maybe you heard more about it after that, but I don't think they're related at all. The French have been mocked for decades, most likely after the second world war is when the surrendering jokes started. Secondly, all that bullshit you just said the french did? Yeah, that's for pussies.
I think our plants will be fine. Also, the sun is HUGE, the distance between planets is HUGE, its not like changing the velocity of the sun will suddenly cause all kinds of collisions to take place as we're orbiting. Basically you're worried over what happens when an ant gets catapulted off the earth.
CPU fans, my god is there anything worse? I'm in here, between six important looking capacitors, with a screw driver on a tiny lip of metal, leaning all my weight on it. How is this a good idea?
I have upgraded several CPUs without switching out the motherboard but not lately. I've also switched out motherboards without getting a new CPU. Example: one time my case got some snow in it. I let it all dry out and the motherboard was the only thing that needed to be replaced.
Algebra III?
I took Algebra I in 8th grade, Geometry as a Freshman, Algebra II and Precalc (trig) as a sophomore and Calculus BC (equivalent of I and II at college level + a little of III) as a junior. I don't recall an Algebra III at all. Also, if I can make it through Algebra II as a sophomore crammed in to half the year (but it took up two classes worth of time), I would have to think most people can handle it as seniors. The fact is, most seniors in high school do not take a math class, which is stupid.
Excuse me for wanting a little mystery and romance and nuance to my April Fool's jokes instead of a dump truck worth of poop slathered all over the internet. I'm in favor of stronger, foolier (as in making a fool of people, not making a fool of yourself) jokes today. We need a modern day war of the worlds.
It's people like you who ruined pictures of cats doing funny things.
People are not being creative, just corny and blatant. Neither of which are a good laugh. Do something to fool people or don't do it at all. April fools on the internet is like watching a 3 year old try to reconstruct a joke they heard. Annoying and not funny as they clumsily fail to get even one component of what makes a joke right. I suspect you have brain damage.
Well, you switch because people game google because thats where most people are searching. Nobody is making their website Bing friendly, so they may be able to achieve better results than a billion landing pages with their own search results on them.
I email songs to myself all the time. Usually I embed them in images. This way I'm not plugging in a USB device to my work machine, and not looking like I'm emailing music to myself. High resolution pictures of the earth are great for burying data in.
What the fuck is wrong with you? What on Earth does this have to do with money? I'm pretty sure nobody gives a shit about the money of sending robots over, unless you think they were just built now, in which case your "why not sooner" has an answer. Otherwise, it was probably because they didn't think they had a need for them. As a situation evolves, so do the potential solutions. But that doesn't back up your anti-capitalism.
Right, which is why they totally don't have plans to make media devices, smart phones or cloud services. They're just sitting there not doing anything because they don't want to make tablets, depending on their OS. Nevermind the XBox doesn't run windows, smart phones have their own operating system and their cloud offering is supposedly the evolution of how we use computers and changes the whole concept of what the OS does. Apple meanwhile is innovating with larger touch screens. Oh wait, is "make it thinner" innovative?
Yes, you're right, because the indie games scene on XBox Live and the WP7 app hub is where I go for quality games. Real XBox 360 development companies use the XBox Developer SDK and do not write in XNA.
First of all, using the XNA.Framework.Input.Keyboard class when compiling for XBox pretty much just gets ignored, it doesn't crash. Likewise, the GamePad class on Windows will work when you plug in a wireless gamepad, but otherwise it would act as if the GamePad was turned off when running in Windows. When I'm dealing with control schemes that are different from Windows and XBox, I generally have two classes that implement the same interface (IInputHandler for example), and at one point use the #IF XBox directive when instantiating the object that I want to use. In reality you can write one class that handles both, but for performance reasons I do it this way.
Well here's the thing. Your $99/year fee for developing for the 360 also covers the WP7 publishing. There are software emulators for the various phone models as well. Also, WP7 has some pretty strict specifications of what the manufacturers can and can't do. Pick which class of WP7 you want to target (there are basically two, high and low end), find its minimums, and stick with those on your software emulator. You may want to physically run it, but since its being reviewed anyway you can probably get by without it.
The domain of what you're doing fits pretty easily inside your head with the older games. The interactions are fewer. The testing is easier. If you think the code in today's games is in any way easier than coding for the nintendo you're just wrong. It may not have been a widely spread skill, but it was possible and common to have a single coder do the whole game. In what way is color palette rotation even close to, say, organizing 100 NPCs to act intelligently and preserve performance? Old games run on rails, its easy to verify behavior and write the behavior, even if you need to know a little low level coding. Yeah, there were some oddities in the hardware you need to work out and undocument opcodes, but in no way does that source (about 1/10000 the size) reach the complexity of a modern game. Its a matter of scope. Also, older games had TONS of bugs when working with different hardware.
100 years? I call bullshit. Wiimote + 3D display + 3D rendering software would be pretty damned close to a mirror if you always looked at center screen. Some hardware to track your pupils would complete it. So basically, this can be done right now for a single viewer a hell of a lot easier than what you're suggesting.
Slashdot Mirror
But... but.... RELIGION BAD!
He didn't spread the stink or the attitude or the general sense of failure that preceded and followed him. I don't feel shamed at all.

Oh yes, if he can fund a test launch, he can surely fund a trip to mars to set up a greenhouse. That makes total sense.

I'm not on facebook. At least not right now.

I'm beginning to wonder if I was the other junior in your class. This is exactly my experience.
Abstract logic class? Its called Geometry.

Your post is the most retarded post I've ever read.

The "arcade" version does more than the Wii does on its own, so thats a weird thing to say.
