The US along with Canada and other major countries creates rules and regulation regarding the safety and quality of their products. Lots of organisation and magazines talk about chinese products shipped in Canada and US that are simply not safe to use....or even very dangerous. The list of product is so big but on top of my head, tops made in China comes to mind. They break very easily and most of those can either kill a child very easily because of the material they use are not great quality. Having those regulations would stop the import and thus creating more jobs here since the people would buy the products inside their own country (the US or canada) instead of importing them... just in idea
also, creating a rule for certain events that prohibits the manufacturing of products outside the country would certainly help. I mean, I saw vancouver olympic games products that said "made in China"... WTF IS THAT ??? I'm pretty sure the same situation applies in the us. What a shame
That might be 1 reason but that's not the whole situation. Like Phrogman here, I live in Quebec and most of the time, big businesses goes away and closed the shop in our province. Biggest popular reason is it costs too much here because of labor since they can setup in a third world country and pay people shit (4$ hour and less) for the same thing. That's what happened to me 3 times. I worked for an ISP and they closed their store and switch services in another country...in the Philippines lol. Outsourcing jobs seriously doesn't help. Subcontracting doesn't help. It all comes down to employers when you look at that field.
is a popular quote from a salesperson's career life. The kind that makes you buy anything with the right words and attitude. Fear those people. need is irrelevant in front of a veteran salesperson.
In a very odd way this article reminded me of an ex girlfriend that wanted to come back to me but when I learned she was "touched" by one of my friends, I didnt want her. I mean each time I would touch her, it would be like I would "touch" my friend. eww..
So you would get 4 times the consumption of a prius. numbers are bad here. Bad math, bad fuel, bad crap, bad everything. what you said doesn't make sense... like always. Please calculate next time...for our sake. Plus, the sub wouldn't pass under certain bridges because of the height of both cars. On top of that, the weight would destroy the prius very fast. What you said doesn't make said so go back to the drawing board.:)
Since this is the most talked about alternative energy source for a car but are we ready for that ? I'm not sure but 1 thing I'm sure is that some countries or provinces like mine are not ready. Well I'm not too positive about the idea of all the population of Quebec using electric cars. I just think about the electricity cost and what we use right now and what we will need won't be small. I fear that.
the average price per Kw/h is around 6.8. The table is here.
The company has 2.8 million customers responsible for 4.01 million residential, commercial, institutional and industrial service contracts. - Hydro Quebec
Most of the money and profit Hydro-Quebec is making is towards exporting energy. Without those exports, Hydro-Quebec would increase the price to make a profit margin. They've told that countless times in press conferences.
Imagine if the same amount of customers using electric cars on the same grid ?
I don't have the exact number but in 2011 the monthly consumption of Hydro Quebec was around ) 3,06m. Can you imagine if you put around 2-3 million cars on that same grid ? This is just a thought but I think the price will increase without any hesitation and Hydro-Quebec will force it on us. Twice a year or so Hydro-Quebec is asking the goverment for a price increase as they tell us we don't pay enough. I can imagine they will have lots of arguements to increase the price and the goverment will have almost no choice but too accept.
ps: this is just Quebec, I can imagine worst numbers, facts or stories in other provinces or countries.
Water damn(Hydro-Quebec) like the province of Quebec in Canada has. You also have geothermal power plant too. Wind power and other types of power plants too. Theres another one which is relatively new in some way it's called the "oyster". it's using waves in the water to produce electricity. Lots of other methods work but the US and other big countries stick with conventional coal plant since they know it works, they know what to expect and it's cheap.
The problem is not metacritic, it's the people who read it are. They seem to take this whole critic thing very personal. but like you said, it's not perfect but people don't seem to get that. On top of that, the metacritic score can be "hacked" in some way to my knowledge just like any other scores you use average in. Just think about it, it's simple math, give a game a super bad review and another one a good review and you get a decent score. I don't think this is good if you ask me.
I should of told in my first post but my point is it's possible to hack any console open source or not. It really doesn't depend on what company makes console or create or use security measures because people will always find a way to bypass it, ignore it or go around it so they can do what they want with their console.
On the hack side: every console is hackable to a point that you can play "backup" games on any console. Hell, I soldered my old ps1 myself and took me around 20 minutes and it worked. lots of sites exist which you can order the equipment and they ship you a DIY kit.
Hardware opinion: you can put in the most powerful equipment in a console but it all comes down on how to code it since all i've been getting feedback on that side is that new consoles tends to be a problem on the coding side.
Biggest problems imho: controls in the game. No matter what console you use, if you play a game with bad control, the game will get refunded...or uninstalled. Open source console or not, this will be a problem so this is a dev problem, not console.
Glitch, bugs, and camera problems: all present in ALL consoles, open source or not, this will be a problem. Again this is a problem with devs, not console.
Conclusion: this is clear in my post that my problem relies on the developer side as they tend to release games with bad control, bad camera (layout or movement...both sometimes) and lots of bugs and glitches. But since this is a open source, maybe it will be less of a problem since the devs will have a chance to update their games if they have the oportunity to do so as I don't have all those details. This is compared to closed source games console like xbox or ps3 as when a game is released with bugs or bad control, they stay with bad controls and bugs.
Bullshit, your a gamer... it shows with the amount of posts in this article compared to others. By the way, kickstarter is there to help, they can't create their business only from kickstarter. It helps them by answering most of their questions on the business side. They know with KS that if their plan is a fail or success in a general term. To my eyes, seems like a good start.
Can we blame Time Cook and friends ? I mean, do they have the creativity, innovation and mindset like Steve Jobs did ? This is just a tought and I may be way wrong with this one but I believe they do this kind of business because they problably know they got almost nothing or not enough "new" devices, technology or devices to make their business run. So they try to postpone their business as much as they can with patent and licence war like we all know so this in turn gives them more time to think about their new toy. But that's just a thought.
If devs and other people that use Agile don't documents their work for future use and maintenance I think it's clear that its a failure right at the start...Anyone with a brain cell will know that.
Why wouldn't they ? This has always been their way to make business and I don't think it will stop in the future. If it's not illegal to the point where they will only face a slap on the wrist they will do it. I think to their eyes, that if you do that kind of action and you get a slap on the wrist and you get told your a bad boy...then why not. It's worth the risk
Theology is the word your looking for in terms of the experts in the field of religion. Those guys have good knowledge and rather gives a neutral type of information on religion as well since they have intel on more than 1 religion anyway. Anyway, just wanted to tell you about the word...not my opinion on it.

he aint the problem, people who voted to get this story on the front page ARE the problem. I want all those people banned, fired, tortured, etc.
What matters me is that people voted to get this article on the front page ? who the fucked voted for this piece of shit news ?
