Well its a paradox of requirements as well. To make a game challenging you have to build in things for the character to do to proceed throughout the game. No one would pay to skip missions in GTA 4 for instance though once they are tired of the game they might want to skip just to see what they missed. In a MMO the big draw is the social aspect of the game. But some people simply have more time for this activity than others. Like a real life competitive sport, some people may have hours a day to practice the sport, others may be willing to pay a professional to help them train in a more limited time frame. You also have to relatively keep up with your group if you are in a Clan. WoW does attempt to reward people for logged off time, but it simply isn't enough. Maybe someday someone will find a game mechanic that will allow people with limited time in their lives to enjoy these games alongside their friends who have more time, but maybe not.
Well it runs as fast as if you had compiled similar code in C, then ran it naively, including compile time. What these optimizations are really for is realizing that things that have loops and will be continuously called throughout the code should be compiled and saved as native code while stuff that's run only once or twice can be run the old fashion way.
I do a lot of web programming as a side job, and I directly compete with people from India for jobs. I can easily charge twice as much as the person from India and stay busy because people are willing to pay for someone who they can understand. I also generally get the work done in much less hours making total cost not much more.
Depends upon what you mean by WebOS though. Cloud computing refers to services not really OS level stuff. Meaning your computer will be local, simply that the main direction will be towards using services from the web. They also talk about virtualization, imagine instead of running Google Write, you run a protected virtual machine that runs a remote or locally caches version of Google Write, depending upon if your connected or not?
Eh, its not even that bad. My college requires that I find some proctor to take the exams with. The requirements for the proctor are fairly lose. You local library would do in many cases, or you can choose one of the many community colleges, which all offer proctor services for $10-$20.
Yes, everyone shares a SINGLE cert, you will only get full validation if you form your URL like https://yoursite.godaddy.com/ or whatever it is that godaddy offers you. Otherwise your visiters get a warning that this cert isn't for your site.
"Consecutive mode" sounds like it does the trick though, it determines how many rows you are inserting and makes room for them so other insertions can be made at the same time can be inserted early and be marked as row # after the mass insert. This essentially allows multiple inserts at the same time because it only has to make space for the insert via adding 1 to the increment for the next insert. As long as the slaves support the same feature everything will be fine as the results are deterministic. Only the interleave system is non deterministic but it warned you, this is not for master/slave systems. Its not set by default to interleave and generally not a recommended setup unless you have just a single DB and you want the best speed possible.
Never even thought about it that way. Under the normal system if you just simply bid $60 with days left to go you'd have to wait several days to find out you were overbid before you could bid on an identical item for $60. Personally this is why I only looked at fixed price / buy it now. If its a popular item just checking ebay for that item every so often you'd often find someone who just posted a fixed price / buy it now for about what your willing to pay.
Reading the conference website sounds like he is saying the can crash computers through forced tight loops via multiple languages, javascript, java, even TCP/IP
Well there are silent auctions that work that way. But I agree the ebay system is rather ridiculous.
Though you do need a time limit for advertising reasons. I think an interesting solution to all this would be bidding doesn't end until 6 hours after the last bid or the initial time limit was reached whichever comes last. And the seller could always opt to end it early if they really need it to stop on the day they wanted it to stop. Heck most sellers would even agree to a per day fee if the auction went long.
Good things about the bill 1) It closed many loopholes that allowed the warrentless wiretaps in the first place. 2) Requires further wiretaps to follow at least some process (process isn't perfect but its better than the lack of process before). Bad things about the bill. 1) Provides retroactive immunity to telecoms, it doesn't provide forward immunity though. 2) Expands wiretapping provisions over the old laws, but as I said earlier previously the old laws were ignored completely... Shrugs.
Though this will probably also effect computer retailers as well. That Dell tech that gets sent to your business because your in warranty computer no longer works probably would have to obtain a PI license as well. Dell doesn't pay these people nearly enough for that.
Mainly because the sale price of the used book if no colleges are using them quickly drops $1 or so. Someone might have this used book, they check to see the going price, its only $1, they shelve it and forget about it forever.
I wonder if there is a business to be made on that kinda stuff. Posting a list of all the books you have then letting you know when the going price for that book goes up or there is someone wanting the book who can't find it.
Two words, only smucks sue for billions when their product is worth thousands. They might have legitimate claims, but a billion dollars? Come on, these guys are just looking for easy money.
Remember right now most corporations can steal trademark.com from you right now. Disney would automatically own disney.* because its got one of those rare ultra trademarks where they are involved in almost anything and everything so the rules of this business doesn't effect your business wouldn't apply.
Agree and disagree, you see ultra cheap books and games on sale at the dollar rack that lift content from others all the time. I don't really care, but try to sell me a full prices game which is expected to contain original artwork and I'm going to feel ripped off. Yes, part of what I am buying in the game is the original artwork, not just the game experience itself. Be straight forth that this is a cheap game using knockoff artwork and I wouldn't care.
If you play the cracked version you can almost guarantee you won't be able to participate in the automatic content sharing, so you'd be playing an offline version only while the full game is multi-single-user

C) Keep the terror level level artificially high.

The United States government's national threat level is Elevated, or Yellow.
The U.S. threat level is High, or Orange, for all domestic and international flights.
So for the rest of you its only Yellow, but if your flying, its Orange!

Dude, if your in the Military or work for the military, the military owns your ass 24/7.

Sketchup Pro is $495 and allows CAD export.
Yea thats expensive but if you Really need this for your work, its cheap.
Wheeee!!! I'm a bird!!

I know the pirated pre-release of the creature editor was banned from content sharing and it doesn't have any key :)
