I find it much easier to design an interface using the click-and-drag method rather than the code-by-hand-then-reload-the-page-to-see-what-it-l ooks-like method. After I get what I want I go through and change all my properties, then I start putting in the code behind the page elements.
I'm sure you enjoy compiling everytime you need to make a visual change just to test it, I can assure you that I don't.
to add some horsepower to the Alterac Valley instance servers. Right now on the server I play on there is never more than 2 instances going at any one time, even though both sides have over 40 people standing around waiting to get in.
For PvP only, every class has to be an even match. That means the developers can't give really good abilities to some classes that would greatly help against mobs. Look at how badly fear and seduction are nerfed in WoW. They were handy in PvE, were overpowered in PvP, they got nerfed for PvP, now they suck for PvE. That is the cycle that happens in every game as PvP begins to overshadow the PvE.
Actually, fear and seduction had their PvP effects changed, not their PvE effects. They suffer from diminishing returns in PvP only, they still have full effect in PvE.
I like how "customers" doesn't appear in this list.
"The People of the United States" doesn't appear either. I find it funny that they are going to decide something without us as we have all the real power in this country*.
That of course people with non-ms os (or how about those without a computer? or who don't like riaa music?) have to pay for it yet can't use it is merely one of those boring side effects. (Can you force people to pay for something they can't use?)
Do the fat people on your campus don't use the gym? Have you been to every single school sponsored event held at your school? Do the dateless geeks at your school really need free condoms?
Universities pay for things that not everyone can or will use.
I'd like to think my decision to buy Redhat shares (when it was $12.00 a share)
Haha, I got in at something like $4/share. Either way though, you have to be happy with their earnings report in December.
Also, I don't believe giving away copyright will significantly reduce the share price. Anyone with half a brain who's invested in Redhat knows the company gives away its work and makes it up on the support side. Oh wait, I said half a brain, that rules out 99% of investors.
As a police officer told me, there is no such thing as a citizen's arrest, but there's also no reason you can't restrain someone until the police arrive.
I found it much easier to wake up in the morning after I started to exercise. Also, losing weight helps since you don't have to get as much moving in the morning.;)
I've played FPS games all my life. This spring I went to the citizen's police academy where I got to experience some polic training, including a firearm simulator. In this simulator I was handed a modified gun, and told to react to situations that play out on a screen in front of me. During all three scenerios I reacted poorly, by both drawning my weapon too slowly and inaccurately firing my gun. I've also had plenty of experience firing real guns, and I can tell you nothing prepares you for even a highly realistic simlulation of firing at another human being. Anyone who would fire at another person had it in them before they played any game.
It's nice for those of us who have been wanting to switch companies and not tell 200+ people what our new phone number is. This is especially important for us geeks who have no land line, and use our cell phone numbers on our resumes.
Personally I have AT&T, but I want to switch to Verizon because my friends all have plans that give extra mobile-to-mobile minutes, which would be useful since they are the core group of people I talk to. Up until a few days ago though, I couldn't do it because of complications with changing my number.
$3 for a ticket? Tickets would be sold out for the next 50 years if you did that. There's a little thing called supply and demand. The Steelers sell their tickets for hundreds of dollars, and those get re-sold by scalpers in the thousands. Selling tickets for way below the value your customers place on them would be stupid to say the least.
I don't believe the scarcity of food is the problem either, I think the problem is the ease in which we can get food. For me to eat, all I have to do is call someone and they'll deliver it to me. That's a far step from picking my own berries or hunting a deer in an area filled with food sources.
I tend to cook a lot for myself. Most recipes come from the Joy of Cooking, which is pretty much the only cookbook one needs. As for things not found in that book, I look up recipes on the internet and always print them. I can safely say I'd never ever ever ever ever want to try to look at a monitor while cooking because it is much easier to shuffle paper around than it is to scroll, click, and wait to load. That and if I modify a recipe it is trivial to scratch in the change on my printout. that's much easier to do when your hands are covered in oil than finding you place and typing it in.
When it goes to the dark side of the planet, it would really suck. I imagine if there is life on the planet it gets to enjoy some interesting day patterns. If the orbit and rotation were just right, then you could have every 10th day with an extra 12 hours of dark or whatever. If it was really unfriendly you could get stuck on the wrong side of the planet for a week or more. That makes things real cold real quick.
Plus you'd have this enormous object to look at in the sky. Now, I can't say I know what I'm talking about here (but then, on slashdot, who does?) but I'd imagine a moon the size of earth orbiting a planet the size of Jupiter would have one huge part of the sky covered. I bet it makes navigating by the stars a bitch for their sailors!
Is it possible to get one of these and have it work with commercial skipping and saving shows (recording starting at a time you choose) and not pay the $12.50/mth fee? It doesn't seem worth it to pay for show listings and to have them follow my tv watching habits. Actually all I want is the tv pausing feature, is there anything that just does that?
I read the title the same way. I was thinking "Wow, finally someone figured out how to combine programming and sex", but then I read the title again.:-(
I know that DDR is the big popular dance game, but if you want one that's really fun play Pump It Up (PIU). I find that one to be a lot more challenging than DDR, plus you don't have the annoying announcer screaming "Good Job!" or whatever the hell he says.
Also, I own the home pads for DDR and PIU, and PIU has much better pads IMO. Plus those are pads for your PC, so you can download fan made songs to dance to.:-) DDR only has playstation pads as far as I know. I'm sure there's a hack to get them going on your PC so you can download songs, but PIU is ready to go over USB.
Reading this I want to run out and play some PIU. To bad I'm getting my ACL repaired this time next week.:-(
I was at a huge McDonalds in Orlando a long time ago, possibly the one you are talking about. That too was several years ago.;-)
Back then real people did everything. Personally I'd like to see the McSwiney's approach.... hey now, this sounds like a great start-up idea! I just need a few dumb VCs and a truckload of frozen meat...
Did anyone ever read A Stainless Steal Rat is Born? It's been a long time since I read it, but in the book the main character spends a good bit of time in an automated fastfood restaurant hiding from the police. It was really easy for him to steal food there since it had a built in test button that served up sandwiches to the back room, and since there were no employees noone was there to stop him (except the restocking guy, who came once a week).
The restaurant itself was really cool, a person would put in their order, and the automated system would have everything cooked and ready to go before the customer even got their money out to pay. Much better than McDonalds, which in some places can be slower than a sit down restaurant because the employees are so slow.

I love math like this, I wonder what the lost productivity is for using the bathroom.
That price seems pretty pricey to be trying out high level characters to see what you want to play.

Which will be a slashdotting of their open beta. ;)

Sorry I'm not willing to work for below minimum wage so you can buy a new ivory backscratcher.

Poor choice of words. I should have said I've played them since they came out.

Nope, I agree that dead trees win. Reason?

Oh god, why did you remind me of that horrible, horrible game. I actually bought that piece of crap.
