1) I don't see man complaining about the Gears of Wars like gorillas or the Final Fantasy like bishounen, both of which can be considered sexist as any female counter part.
2) Classic art is filled with sexism and now is praised by the whole globe and worth millions. Give it time and the original copies of the official artwork of Ivy or Mai will be worth more than most of us will in our entire lifetime.
And that flaw is the standard motherboard and by extension the heavily dependency on standard components. Standard components are awesome, in particular if you want to build your own machine.
This is something to be more like a game console with PC concept of upgradability. So, in my opinion, they should have kept only the gaming related components standard(CPU, GPU and memory). Everything else should be integrated in a custom and clean motherboard just like the old school Mac Pros were(RIP).
If I have to deal with all those cables, standard fan, power supply unit and harddrive bays, I rather just build my own from scratch. It's also going to be cheaper.
Same here. Unless it's some sort of TMS which actually creates electrical currents inside the brain through and electromagnetic field I just don't see non invasive electrical stimulation happening. If you count scalp and skull and everything are exists between them I just don't any significant amount of electricity passing through the brain(unless you want to burn your hair).
Just like the PS3 it has a removable and upgradable standard 2.5" HDD(confirmed you can easily google for the source). No complaints at all but that just makes me wish for an SD card compatible PS Vita.
That and the fact you have to subscribe to PSN+ for online multiplayer. I'm a PSN+ subscriber, it's an excellent service that pays for itself with the great discounts and free games(plus I like the cloud saves) but forcing it on everyone is a dick move. They don't need to do that given the current success of the product and the apparent bright future, I'm sure PSN+ will be even more profitable and successful in the future without having to handicap standard PSN members
To be honest I use a 12 hundred at home and as I don't like the bright LEDs either, I turn them off.
The transparent windows can be useful if you overclock and/or want to check the motherboard LEDs in case your computer starts to act funny without having to open the case.
The cases are easy to assemble and dismantle, have excellent ventilation and provide customization to no end.
And if you call their design gaudy and excessive, I call Ive's bland, unoriginal and unpractical.
A desktop PC is something that stays hidden bellow my desk or inside a rack with only it's front face visible for 99% of it's life. As long it's a standard form factor, has high customization and provides the electronic components good protection against mechanical and thermal hazards it could be pink with rainbow colored LEDs it's still better designed than a cylinder that provides none of the things I said above.
Why Apple is taking credit for this new trend? Sony new Vaio Pro line has optional 20Gbps PCIe 256/512GB flash storage. I pre ordered one(first vaio in 9 years) simply because of that. Credit where it's due.
Or maybe for the same reason that Minecraft is the 3D design tool of choice for millions over real 3D software: accessibility. Lego is the "easiest" way to prototype something.
Lego learning curve is virtually non existent. It takes ages to build something meaningful, the amount of detail is very limited, but literally anyone with hands can do it.
There is also brand name. People love popular brands. Do you think this/. article would even exist if NASA decided to partner with Blender or AutoDesk?
Finally, reading the article I can't help but to think that Lego is a sponsor and this is nothing but a marketing campaign.
Not their electricity, not their problem.
I think the risk of bad publicity and potential lawsuits, from both users and governments, is just not worth it.
spend hours figuring out how to get things up and running, soldering, messing up things, breaking them, and scrounging for mechanical part
But breathing life in to a pile of scrap metal it the fun part. The satisfaction and relief of seeing your device working after a sea of sweat is on par of sexual orgasm.
I see Unity being talked all over the place. I'm not a game dev so I never really used it, but from the videos and tutorials I've seen, it seems to be a quite nice IDE+game engine kit to work with. However, I can't help but to feel that everything good about it is superficial and on a real world application it sucks. Why? Never played or heard of a single good(neither good as "in my opinion" nor good as in "critically acclaimed") game, indie, hobbyist or mainstream, that uses it. There must be a reason for that.
If they only charge Tesla vehicles, that would be like building gas stations that only sell proprietary fuel for Ford vehicles.
That is something I'm not understanding either. Are those Superchargers Tesla only?
If the answer is yes, it really doesn't make any sense to me for two reasons:
1)Although the media is focus exclusively on them, Tesla is not the only EV manufacturer. Making a charger that ignores the most of the market sounds like lost business opportunity. There are already sub 30k EVs (Nissan LEAF being my favorite). They are not as good as the Model S, but they also cost half. There are also hybrids, which in my opinions is a much more logical step towards the popularization of EVs as they can potentially be compatible with both gas and charging stations. Specially for the first years, until the required infrastructure is here, this kind of "backwards" compatibility is a nice feature in case there are no charges nearby. Why not provide charging services for those cars for a certain "premium price" while also providing charging services for Tesla owners for a normal price so they still can have their marketing gimmick.
2)By the time Tesla has a sub 30k model, I guarantee most all major auto makers will have their vehicles as well(as some of them already have). EVs are a hot topic in the industry and there is RD happening all over the place. To have the infrastructure and ignore this HUGE market is totally WFT!? to me. Unless they have the balls to believe that they will be the only EV makers in the future, I'm confused.
This surpercharger topic really worries me as I hope Tesla, as a Elon Musk brewed company, doesn't become another PayPal-like costumer fuckfest. I like them and I don't want them to be the bad guys.
I disagree. The guy is not even using the domain. Paying him is just encouraging this disgusting behavior. Just like the police doesn't negotiate with bandits, I don't negotiate with Domain Squatters. *.com domains are limited resources and just like any other limited resource, it should be regulated and available only for people that actually will use it.
PSP vs DS is not a very good comparison. PSP is a very complex case of both success(75M+ sales worldwide, more than N64+GC+Xbox) and failure(abandonment in the West) and it had more problems than the lack of games. As a matter of fact it used to outsell the DS for the first few months in the west and for the last couple of years in Japan(it even outsold the 3DS in Japan during it's first 6 months and even the Vita until the Japanese price drop). Problems included battery life, load times, price and, later, piracy and bad marketing. PSP had a pretty good library for the first couple of years bad ended up losing support in the US/EU for the reasons above.
The Vita vs. 3DS is more like what you're describing. Even though the vita has a quite large list of games already, most are either niche games or unknown/new IP titles and for this library to succeed it requires more marketing that Sony is providing right now. The 3DS, for good or for bad, is being supported by well known 10-20+ year old franchises such as Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Monster Hunter, etc(honestly, I hate all this focus on rehashes and I've never seen anyone IRL playing an original IP on the 3DS). Of course the low price (of almost a $100 less counting the stupid memory cards for the Vita) are helping as well.
That said however, exceptions exist. The GC was cheaper than the PS2, more powerful(although not as much as the PS3 is compared to the Wii) and had all the famous Nintendo franchises and yet sold 7 times less than the PS2.
Without quantum physics the cameras, fast CPU, GPUs and high speed communications that help me cope with my solitude at night wouldn't exist. Count me out brah.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but in case you aren't, I think you need a GPU with at least Pixel Shader 2.0 hardware in order to play it. anything bellow and it will crash the moment you open a portal. Unfortunately, no driver update can fix this problem.
There is a technical answer: most PCs come with Yahoo! stuff, the search is set to Y! and nobody changes that. The thing is, compared to the West, the Japanese do not have that "pursuit of genuineness" reaction - they trust what is popular and Y! is very popular...
Same in the west. Not only Google pays Mozilla and Apple to set their browsers default search engine to Google(let alone Chrome and Android influences) but they also got so integrated in society(To verb "to google" instead of "to search" being a primary example) that most people don't even bother searching for alternatives.
Also, Google Japan is abysmal. You can set Google's language settings to "Japanese only", but you enter your search term in kanji, you inevitably end up getting back mostly Chinese hits. You have to add a hiragana character (I usually use hiragana "no") to your search term to get back Japanese hits.
I've been living in Japan since 2006 and never experienced this. Google Japan will return Japanese sites. It doesn't matter if I write in Kanji, Kana or any western Alphabet. My only complaint is when I'm looking for information in English(mostly programming stuff), I need to manually set up my Google settings to english both for language and locale, otherwise I will still get Japanese pages(and now that they decide to auto translate everything things got even worse). But for the average Japanese, I see no problem at all.

Apple has done nothing for iOS but mostly rip off Android since iOS3.
Cerberus alongside Airdroid should be Android default apps.

Tell that to Apple. Trademarks can be an ugly business.
As a guy that does a lot of embedded, I like both equally.

I'd prefer in Klingon, for reasons that are the exact opposite you said.
1. How the hell is this going to fare in a real world test where a metropolis of people oversaturates the frequency?
From the summary.
