How do you “trigger” an invention? A lack of oxygen is very important.
A lack? Isn’t that dangerous? It’s very dangerous. I get that Flash just 0.5 sec before death. I remain under the surface until this trigger comes up and I write it down with a special waterproof plexiglas writing pad I invented.
Ebeneezer Scrooge, when asked about the poor said "Are there no workhouses?" Which were public institutions. I'd hardly classify him as liberal (as per your logic).
And, the vast majority of non-profits, are run by liberals. Or maybe libertarians. Find me one donation funded radio station otherwise in the US run by a conservative.
Liberals fundamentally believe in charity, sometimes at the expense of bankrupting society. Conservatives simply don't believe in charity; they believe in mutually beneficial exchanges at best -- no handouts. There's a balance to be had surely, but I can't think of a single non-political charity dominated by conservatives (aside from churches).
Yeah, my God, WalMart is hugely innovative! Its employees are always seeking new ways of wearing jeans badly so their ass cheeks hangs out or mangling the English language to a degree that I preferred Japanese! I had no idea that these innovations were driven by top down inspiration by the yellow smiley face...I thought he just whistled and hip-checked price tags. Wait a moment! His whistle IS hypnotizing!
I don't know how you'd reproduce this in a clinical environment, but IRL, if someone starts to draw a gun, it's going to trigger a fight or flight reponse and pump you full of adrenaline. Maybe the person who's doing the drawing isn't serious, while for you it doesn't even process the event at that level: it's just reflex.
Pushing 3 buttons on a computer in response to a box changing color doesn't seem like it would trigger the same response at all -- that box isn't exactly threatening your existence. And I assume in the real case, you've got a bunch of experience firing a gun to the point where doing so is pretty subconscious...unlike the box case, which requires fine motor control, but you have 0 practice doing.
As an IT worker that sounds like the most horrible place on Earth.
Are you in China hanging out on the corner of the WoW sweatshop and the red light district? Would you like to? Outsourcing gives our company the cost control we need with the benefits you deserve!
I love the job requirements that are literally impossible to meet. Like, 10 years of C# experience. I wonder if they actually do any research or if they're just going the H1B fast track ("Hey, we couldn't find any American workers...but some guy in India says he's been doing C# for 20 years!" "Wow, that's amazing! Let's interview him!")
You elect your union leaders, whether you choose to vote or not.
Your corporate leaders are chosen by the board (rich shareholders)...and that's only in the case of a publicly traded company. Otherwise, it varies from Nepotism to Bobs-your-uncle.
I see very little problem in elected leaders representing people. But hey, that's why I like democracy.
I'd place the mutex around the book object itself.
No one rips out a chapter of a book and lends it to someone. Course, this means if you buy something massive like LoTR in 1 volume, you can't lend it. But 3? Sure.
I think the key is that while anyone else has your book "checked out", you can't read it...regardless of the state on your machine.
Copy protection isn't about defeating piracy, it's about limiting it.
Nintendo/Sony/MS are more than happy to provide disks for their gaming system which resemble library books in their DRM properties (let a friend borrow it all you want...but you can't play the game while they have it).
Steam's done this most prominently in PC games (1 login per account, but unlimited downloads) , but has its limitations (e.g. no reselling, and I can't loan a copy of a game to a friend...any devs listening?) The advantage vs the disk model is there's nothing to lose. (Stardock's model is even better...but they're library's not as big.)
So your comment only applies to PC games...which, while a PC gamer myself, are only a minority in the gaming industry.
How would your descendants would feel if, for example, someone wrote a movie, in which you were explicitly identified, and represented as a hard right wing mass murderer responsible for ethnic cleansing initiatives?
Probably about the same as the Nirvana fans who played the Guitar Hero or especially Madden '09.
Kurt wouldn't have wanted his music and likeness used in this way, but there's nothing in the law to stop it.
There's certain places in the world that have different views on IP law, and while contractually bound from doing such a thing here, such provision might not hold up there.
When people ask me what I do at bars/parties, I've taken to saying that I'm a writer in a language known by few. And if I do my job well, very few people will ever read my work and no one one will buy my work to read it.
Go jailbreak your iphone if tethering/multiapp is such a deal breaker. You get stability + good UI + tethering + multi-app...and you can buy DRM-free music from the device itself. Best of all worlds.
It goes to show that the limitations are not with the iPhone itself but with the megalomania of AT&T (you can tether on European carriers) and Apple (multi-app could be a drain on battery life, so put it under options->advanced or something).
At least in 1.3, you can now use CMakefiles (which I use) or regular makefiles as well. The only downside is that it IS made for C/C++.
That said, it is by far my favorite IDE...made the switch from a simple text editor a year ago and haven't looked back...and that's after trying Eclipse....
Um...because you shouldn't fire bullets in an air-tight aluminum tube because it could cause the plane to malfunction/crash/kill everyone on board?
From a decision tree perspective, the terrorist doesn't mind dying...so you either let him kill everyone on the plane...or you can shoot him and do the same thing yourself. And that doesn't even account for the xenophobe who screams terrorist and shoots when he sees someone with brown skin and speaks "funny".
Now, special bullets that won't go through the plane? Maybe. But no, I for one am glad we try and make sure there's no guns on planes.
This class would focus on build up some kind of resource (rage, etc) and would gradually decrease the effectiveness of enemy attacks but without dealing much damage. Additionally, they'd have the option of interrupting enemy spellcasting/draining resources the enemy uses for physical/magical attacks.
There's this to some degree in WoW (the rogue's kick ability), but a dedicated debuff/CC class would be interesting.
Also: the reason why there's these classes in the first place is that none of the enemies are actually designed to win battles. They're designed to attack the tank and go through a preset ability rotation. Design a mob that says "screw the tank, I need to kill the healer first!" and do away with aggro, and the whole system comes crashing down.
Design enemies that really needs mana/combo points/etc and abilities to disrupt them become useful.
Eh, this story is probably archived but here goes;)
Valve gave everyone who prepurchased left 4 dead 2 a special hat in team fortress. It's a cool looking beret, but does nothing.
The PvP version of Guild Wars is actually pretty close to it. In GW, you can create a character at level cap, but that can only do PvP. He/she can have any skill/armor mods you found in the PvE game, or buy new skills that are available account wide if you get enough PvP points (which are account wide). So when I played, I'd delete and create new characters on the fly, play them for 20 minutes, and dump them. I don't see that being all the different with Team Fortress 2's weapon system...or the system in use in this game.
Except, in GW, you could buy with real $, access to all the skills (PvP only granted) in the game.

Anyone have a link to the binary that actually works? Tried a bunch of the ones in mirrors and none seem to function.

You may want to change your sig...you can fuck all you want and be chaste, so long as it's your spouse.
You can fight for peace as well -- so long as you do it as Gandhi did: without guns: there's nothing passive about being a pacifist.

Did you miss the "major carrier announcement" coming in June or the "iPad will ship unlocked" part of the presentation?

I remember similair comments when Nintendo announced the Wii.
Remember how that went?
Uh...2001+10=2011.
So yeah, unless you worked for Microsoft, it's literally impossible. And if you worked for MS in 2001 on C#, you're probably still working there;)
I love the job requirements that are literally impossible to meet. Like, 10 years of C# experience.

Not saying it's technically, possible though.

It's possible to find this information legally.

Although amateur, author affirming alliteration actualizes an awful article.

No one complained. As far as I'm aware.
