I guess the parent didn't read the end of that article. Stupidity in all its forms is an ugly festering chimera. When you stamp out the ignorance of one, two more pop up in its place.
I honestly have no desire to play minecraft, but I read that interview with Notch.
He's legit, the real deal. He's an O.G. gamer like me. I have honestly played more games on Commodore 64 than my 5 consoles and PC combined. And I've played a lot of PC games.
That said, I've been dreaming for so long of a space sim that doesn't focus only on one thing like combat or trading. I want to roam the ship like I do the Normandy. I want to make connections to people, places and feel something. I want to be able to buy a new ship or upgrade mine. I want to be able to visit planets or stations. I want to also have a robust combat system that doesn't only involve fighting ship to ship. I'd love to have to defend against boarding parties and space herpies.
The last space game that came anywhere near that sort was "Tachyon: The Fringe" with its news segments inbetween combat missions. I learned about what was going on in the universe and cared about it. I would love a space game that involves more than just flying and fighting in a ship. I want the whole universe.
I used the windows 8 developer preview and I noticed that metro was completely optional. As in, you can turn it off entirely. It's a gimmick if you're using a mouse. If you're using a touch screen like some of the newer HP desktops, it's useful.
I don't know what the fuss is about, I'll probably upgrade to windows 8 when the time comes.
here's what you were really asking through your raging: Why did Firefox drastically increase build numbers for only minor releases?
great question AC, here's the answer. Public opinion held consensus that the higher the build number, the more advanced the browser. As IE was in build 9, Google chrome was in version 10, and Opera was in version 11 when Firefox version 4.0 came out, Mozilla decided to abandon their convention for build numbers and play catch-up. Nothing more than public opinion.
yes, but as I saw someone's wise sig here mention, "If you spend more time avoiding the things that hipsters actively seek, then you are the actual hipster."

Stop trolling here, Stephen Colbert!
we used CBR for both our children. It's $1800 for collection and the first year.
each year is $125 or you could pay off all 18 years up front.
why do you need a LAMP stack, is the robot going to run around updating its blog and posting crappy instamatic photos?
a wheelchair isn't a two ton death machine controlled by computers hurled through the universe.
you mean a government backdoor.
I have no problems with the NSA having this information, I just don't know how I feel about the local PD having it.
When your corporate competitor is scared enough to threaten you. That's how you know.
it's not overfishing I'm worried about here.
It's the cascade.
Reefs are home to many types of fish that are caught commercially.
no reef, no fish.

When the gulf states fisheries go titsup in the next years, will BP pay up?
Only if they're forced to do so.
ZZZzzz!
Man that is one boring game!
you just answered your own question.
you're not the only one.

only 16% of our oil comes from the middle east.
The majority comes from us, then Canada and Mexico.
The reason prices are so high is because wall street speculators gamble on the price of crude and drive up the price artificially.
Find some statistical analysis that proves otherwise.
why do you need an MRI every year?
They hit that galaxy first.
that's not the point.
It's why people have non-discriminating ears.
They don't know the difference. This will help.
I can hear the difference listening to Dave Brubeck on original vinyl vs. modern CD.
Though you have a point about what hardware they're using to listen.
Google is pouring revenues into R&D. It's not going to benefit them in the short term.
It's going to benefit the entire economy in the long term. What google learns now will fuel the next great rush.
You're right about one thing, Trying to monetize every project isn't going to bring us the next UNIX.
they're terrorists because they make the FBI look like a bunch of assholes when their internal comms get hacked and leaked.

Let's make a commission to study the possibilities and then claim there's no consensus.

I think this was a smart decision.
there's a reason for that. It's unsupported hardware. It's been abandoned as a platform. You'd be wise to replace it.
I was screaming about RAM usage because it sucked back then too.
yes, but as I saw someone's wise sig here mention, "If you spend more time avoiding the things that hipsters actively seek, then you are the actual hipster."
