Is that whatever technology you settle on may be obviously inferior by the time you release. Imagine starting a game on dx9 now that takes four years to complete. By then the world has dx11 and you have obviously dated graphics.
A producer is a process management role. Make sure that all of the content gets done on schedule. Get the voice actors time scheduled at the recording studio, etc. It requires knowledge of using outlook basically, plus the ability to talk to people in english. An engineer typically writes code for the game. It requires a huge math and CS background. So the engineer gets paid more, because the job is a much more highly skilled job.
Where in the definition of theft did you find the word 'deprived'? I see taking and removing, both of which require you to have something first, then me to have it. You're saying the reverse: I have something, and then you continue not to have it. That may be wrong, and it may be illegal, but it isn't theft. Theft is by definition a crime involving property moving the other direction.
Illegal and theft are two independent ideas. Theft is illegal, but that which is illegal may not be theft, and furthermore the copying of copyrighted material (legal or not) is not theft:
1 a : the act of stealing; specifically : the felonious taking and removing of personal propertywith intent to deprive the rightful owner of it b : an unlawful taking (as by embezzlement or burglary) of property

It's extremely hard. Basically the networking infrastructure can only be scaled across so many servers before the inter-server communication swamps the lan bandwidth. Further, colo space gets expensive, so you want to keep your server space down as well. Basically they have to try to cram as much game logic as possible into every box, so they are buying up 4 and 8 way opteron boxes very quickly. It's a really tough problem, and they are on the forefront of it. No one has ever tried to scale a game this way before.
Yes, I'm sure. DX9 will run on vista. To quote the article: "DirectX 9 will be supported side-by-side, through DirectX 9.L (basically, that's DX9 for the Vista driver model)."
You'll actually have a split. DX9 and DX10 will be separately installable, and you'll need a driver for each. DX9 will be used for backwards compatibility support for older games.
I thought for sure you were going to tell us how you still turned out to be a child molester, even though you were protected from the evil influences.;-)
They are comparing one state's conviction rate to theirs, and claiming victory. The problem is that they assume equally successful discovery and prosecution of internet, interstate activities occurring on myspace. There's no way myspace can claim to be even close to equally transparent to law enforcement, or that law enforcement is technologically equipped to deal with this new kind of risk.
In fact, if you assume that pedophilia is happening at least at the same rate in the myspace population as in the general population, then if their conviction rate is lower than California's, the correct conclusion is that more people are getting away with it in the myspace population.
It does. You just use JNI. But no one wants to do that because it means having to write your application 4 times if you want to run all 4 platforms, and not being web runnable. So instead they offer their own desktop GUI (Swing) which maps onto each of the 4 platforms.
No. Atari's license to the patent essentially allows Atari, and Atari alone, to violate the patent at will with impunity. Atari can't use that license to do anything to other companies, suits against other companies will be brought by the patent holder, not the patent licenser.
It was packaged with a lot of xbox units, so you could be pretty sure that most xbox owners had it, which meant it was easy to get together a big multiplayer multi-xbox halo fest.
He has a legal responsibility to pay what he's agreed to pay. The responsibility to pay fairly is a moral one, not a legal or ethical one.
In the past, it was legal to pay a man nothing for his work. It was called slavery. I claim this wasn't moral on the part of the slaveholders, though it was perfectly valid within their legal and ethical frameworks.
Paying someone less than fairly is just a different position on the sliding scale toward slavery. If you choose not to pay a man fairly, that's a moral choice.
Being able to recover 'source code' and being able to recover useful source code are different things. When you have a code base in the million line range, decompiling the jars will get you somewhere, but not anywhere useful. You aren't going to be able to turn out a competitive product any time soon. There's just soo much information stored in the heads of developers that stealing a useful product by decompiling jars is effectively impossible. And that's on top of the stuff you don't ship, such as test suites, build environment, etc.
That's certainly all true. My point was that spam is not a problem for the end user anymore, and that is who would be impacted by the release of these email addresses. I doubt if the bandwidth suck of releasing these email addresses would be measurable against the noise.

The statistics here are just terrible.

Unfortunately, they're both right.

Really, for me the first hit was utterly obscene!

Vector 3d displays do their math differently than triangle based displays. This patent is specific to the math involved in triangle based rendering.

Yes, it's now 20 years from the original file date.

It was innovative at the time of filing: 1987-04-06

And people are only now violating it, nearly 19 years later. Give it one more year and it will have expired!
The GPL would also be unnecessary without copyright laws in place.
Really? Nearly everyone I know got it bundled both in California and Georgia.

Yeah, they think pebble bed reactors are safe, because they haven't figured out how catastrophically they can fail yet.

Thank you. I thought the OP had to be crazy to want that, but I thought maybe he just hadn't thought of it.
