i remember those days. back then guys like you would complain about the file size over dialup, but didn't bother to learn enough to break out your content into external swf files, and lazy load only what you need. you also had retarded clients who insisted on skip intro pages, but you never acknowledged your own fault in either not being an expert or not positioning yourself as an expert, to advise against such stupid practices. you were a yes-man.
anyone who really knows flash well knows that the only true fault it has (still today) is a buggy compiler that sometimes interprets your coding errors in unrelated ways that make it difficult to debug. accidentally pasting a special character into actionscript might cause the timeline to ignore all stop commands, or something like that. any other "fault" is really just more of an annoyance. the truth is every language has those kinds of faults, especially whatever language you prefer. if you knew enough about the tool and the language, you wouldn't care if the aspect ratio was 640x480 or 1920x1080.
and any attitude a developer has against faithfully reproducing the designer's vision is counter productive. if you were trained to communicate visually the client wouldn't hire a designer. you're trained to design and build systems (at least, i hope). so quit bitching and do it. to complain about designers makes about as much sense as construction workers complaining about the architect and how s/he wants a building to look (omg this material is expensive and easy to ruin!). it's your fucking job to make it look the way it was designed.
no one who's ever stated they "hate" flash ever had a rational, well thought-out, or even accurate reason for it. it's all just excuses from the least able in the field (especially you steve jobs). boo fucking hoo.
portal and portal 2 were released more than 1-2 years apart. portal was not a massive hit. it was, and is, a cult classic. portal 2 is also not a massive hit. if it were, i would have much less difficulty getting those stupid xbox achievements that require you to play with X number of people online with their own paid copy of the game. didn't anyone ever warn you about assuming?
sweet. sooner the better, please. also, in case you failed to catch the drift, refrain from posting stupid shit like your previous comments here. if between now and the time you do off yourself you have an "and so what?" moment, let it go, don't act on it, and hurry up with that noose or pistol or razor blade or w/e. yeah, dude. really. your attitude toward privacy disgusts me. if you want to make that suicide a pact with zuckerberg, be my guest. the human race doesn't need you or him or anyone else who doesn't give a shit about others' privacy.
"and so what" is exactly the point. if you don't lack reading comprehension you absolutely lack any kind of creative thinking that could put you in someone else's shoes and consider what might happen to someone else. also, empathy (the trait that keeps you from being considered a sociopath) would actually have you consider what your own experience would be like if it happened to you, and also care about someone else's situation regardless of whether it could happen to you. for example, i don't need to be a woman to consider the pain of childbirth and realize such a person is entitled to rights, such as whether or not to receive an epidural or even have the child at home with a midwife instead of a hospital with nurses.
to ask the 3 questions in your post you'd have to be a really dim-witted, self-centered, apathetic moron. please kill yourself, you're breathing my air.
i'd really love to see you try and sue McDrewbie for libel, too. obviously the one and only, the inimitable, David D from... from... California? Canada?... has had his reputation tarnished far beyond repair and is suffering beneath the merciless weight of McDrewbie's defamation. asshole.
either you think spanish speakers are stupid or that they have no imagination/sense of humor. or maybe it's just you. it doesn't take much effort, as a spanish speaker, to separate the syllables into "no va," a funny joke name for an object that is indeed supposed to "va." seriously, did you never hear any tampon jokes about the iPad when it first came out?
To put it another way, Facebook can give you information, but nobody ever relies on Facebook to give them information.
would be nice if that were true. I know someone who only communicates to friends through facebook and if you missed their wedding reception it's because you don't check facebook often enough. you could argue that people like that aren't good friends, but gosh darn it dontcha know we were actually good friends long before facebook showed up and tempted their laziness.
it's a nice bubble you have though, because you are oblivious to things like stalkers, identity theft, fugitives, organized crime and terrorism, or even just having relationships with people you care about ruined because someone else saw fit to forge your communication, or present pictures out of context that have the power to wreck reputations.
Clue: Some people have experience beyond a video game and such markings are deadly serious and greatly appreciated by those working in the dark, they are not a punchline.
no one fucking cares.
Clue: over 1 million people, including the majority of slashdot readers, don't ever need any experience beyond a video game to drop the same useless fact you did.
get the point, yet? hey let me drop some more military knowledge! when someone yells "oscar mike!" it means "on the move." didn't need experience beyond a video game for that either. ooh ooh, here's another one. when someone says "2200 hours" they mean 10pm. zomg it's like i'm a jarhead now! what does it have to do with anything except showing off my uber-leet military knowledge? November Oscar Tango Hotel India November Golf! prefer an acronym instead? how about NTR (that's Nothing To Report for all us low-life scumbags who never served our country and therefore deserve no freedom) or how about NYK (Not Yet Known).
wait, i'll give you one more chance to not look completely stupid. exactly how the fuck does the danger of placing a live claymore mine have anything to do with using a cheesy GUI to allegedly hack a university? does someone die when the chinese kid clicks the "Hack Now" button? exactly what did you accomplish with your precious fact? November Oscar Tango Hotel....
i wish we could dump this whole "out-of-shape-nerd" and "video games for recreation" dichotomy. forget about kinect, ps3 move, or the wii. i don't have any of those. i've been a nerd all my life and as a kid i was an avid skateboarder/bmx'er, played basketball, baseball, and high school football and still found hours and hours of time to play colecovision/nintendo/snes/n64/playstation/pc games. today i play about 30 hours of video games a week, and still find time to exercise -- it's not that hard, even with a permanent foot injury. i have virtually no body fat, i can bench press more than my own weight, and i have more trouble telling women no than getting them to say yes -- though that has more to do with confidence in my own abilities than anything else.
i happen to live pretty secluded from most of my friends or acquaintances. going out is expensive in gas and time. video games are mentally and emotionally stimulating, and i can still "hang out" with my non-nerd friends at our convenience. for physical stimulation i make a choice to exercise. and i'm completely satisfied with my geek status. and...i'm not alone.
this is the same country where people leave their doors unlocked at night or while they're away. of course they're naive enough to think online voting will work. hell, it might actually work for them precisely because of that trusting mentality. after all, if people were actually breaking into homes a lot, they would start locking them, right?
"why would anyone cheat the vote, eh? that would be dishonest, dontcha know."
just because your country doesn't use the most superior measuring system for distance, it doesn't mean americans have to accomodate you. we call it the "standard" system for a reason. now cease your insubordination or we will occupy your country for your own good.
this joke made its way around my circles a few months ago. you're supposed to change the name of your home wireless network to "fbi surveillance van" (those exact words, too) to freak out people who are hanging around your house stealing bandwidth. this isn't the stupidest article that's been posted, but it's close.
do you really own something that you have to pay a yearly fee to possess? argument does not apply to homes and cars; property tax and registration are not fees to own, but to maintain. seems like the victim could respond to this decision by filing a lawsuit against ICE for tortious interference.
hahahahahaha you must be new here. and by here i don't mean slashdot, i mean the world. welcome to life! if you can manage not to break any laws, and not kill yourself, you still get last place. sucks, don't it?
no, moron. seriously? you throw around words like troll and then you keep taking the bait? i'm starting to get a conscience, you're so stupid. and the real reason you gave up reading is that you don't understand any words you can't pronounce when you mouth them as you read. you're an amoeba. kill yourself. but not before you reply one more time!!!! once more!!!!!!!!!!! if you don't, you're not american and you love goatse!!!!

epic fail. the reversal joke reference is not communist related, it's russian (yakov smirnoff) specifically. don't bother trying again, just...stop.
