Want more IT jobs, make it hard work again: - Bring back Windows NT. - Make HDD's fail more - Make network unstable - Ensure PC hardware constantly fails
Its common sense, the issue is: - Hardware has got more stable and reliable. - Software has got alot easier to manage, mostly automated and alot more stable 24/7. - Anyone can do it.
For Server active status (eg: am i dead?) Inside a while loop or sleep() if you cant be bothered. for(int i=0;iMAX_SERVERS;i++) {

For everything else monitoring related. Employ someone to make a custom monitoring application,or, Google "server monitoring software".
.a screen she's unaware exists, after all, the game was free.
What ever happened to parents checking stuff before giving it to their children? "Here son, heres a box that Joe Bloggs made from the red light district. I havnt checked whats inside it, but it has good reviews"
This option was not available for the period in question. Hence the compensation.
In the last 3+ seasons of Big Bang, we've seen a gradual switch from a Science based show that we loved, to a generic "just your average TV show" with stories that can appeal to more viewers.
With less of the "science and informative" show we originally fell in love. And the fact it appealed to those who had an IQ above 100. Do you have more time on your hands now the show is mainly filled with "day to day" storylines to increase viewers below that IQ range?
Mom downloads a "free" game for their kid. Mom hands phone to kid to play "free" game. The mom shouldn't wind up with thousands of dollars in a bill.
What Mom should be doing: - Mom (or mum) teaches child about the basic concept of money. - Mom shows the child the screen that says "buy" and explains that you need to ask mommy 1st. - Mom disables all Google Play purchases without a password prompt. Doing their bit to ensure their child cant rack up $$$ of purchases.
The Result: - Child learns some discipline and basic understand of money. - Mom takes some responsibility for her child and their actions.
What We actually do "blame everyone else" for their child's actions using every excuse in the book.
It was hard and required some skill. Thats what made it enjoyable.
And they've added a ton of innovative options for quests like vehicle modes, story modes, and more.
All to slow the progression of the game down, essentially making you subscribe for longer. Instances now require you to wait for "storyline" triggers, even if you have played them 100 times over.
Obviously you've believed the rants, but you know what? Harder is not better, and the game is worth playing.
I left WoW a few years back for the sole reason it was "too easy, too casual" and the ingame gear rewards meant nothing as anyone can achieve them if they have time.
I'd love to see the current player base try the original ragnaros as level 60's in vanilla. Its hard yes, but so much more rewarding when you win.
In regards to the Quake Live changes. Its simply a case of trying to merge gamers from the "easy game that lasts 4 hours and tells you how to play with cutscenes" console background into the PC "Rewarding you for mastering a game using your own initiative" market. I can see why they are doing it, just a shame they have to numb the game down that fucking much to accommodate the ADHD community of console gamers.
The code will be crap but that wont matter because who needs it to be efficient when we can just toss a couple more CPUs at the problem...
Unfortunately, this is the way it is now, and has been for some time. CPU's are getting faster, programs are getting slower. In essence its pointless to make new programs when previous programs can do it more efficiently with alot more stability.
Goes without saying, bad code using a substandard programming language is now the "accepted" way to program. Its an insult to the last 20+ years of "good" programming if you ask me.
The raspberrypi foundation are funding work all over the free software stack, which will benifit plenty of people who have never seen or used a pi.
Just a shame they dont promote C++. Instead, they choose Python and Scratch and blog it over everything else.
So they can optimize the OS for the Pi now, but 10 years down the line when the kids have grown up, its all for nothing.
And yes, i do agree with you, the Pi isnt slow. We are spoilt with high performance CPUs and choose to run programs made in Java/Python by amateurs who tell you that a i7 is needed. We live in a world where simple and slow programming languages are the choice, instead of C++ and a little care and attention to whats being made.
10% hit on relatively low poly collisions and very few sounds..:/
Using the video as a basis, its clear the framerate halfs when RAYA is active. I'd love to see some "real" benchmarks, but obviously the performance impact is too big at this stage. Which worries me, considering their using iD Tech 3 engine for this demo.
Theres alot of raytracing and calculations going on. In essence, theres just as much (if not more) processing going on here, than a full game's logic loop.
The only way this would work in real world applications is to ensure this processing is done on its own thread.
Interesting, but it clearly needs alot more work on optimisations. Would like to see the API and the reference documentation.
Only amateurs use emacs, vi, or ed. Real pros use 'echo %variablename% > filename'. After all, who needs to change anything when what you type is already perfection?
And theres me thinking, using nano made me ultra hardcore:(
No matter whether it is Google or Amazon who gets this technology running first, and whether it is banned in America for a while, but this is our sci-fi future happening now, and it is amazingly cool to watch.
If you consider "cool" as: - You falling for Viral Marketing
Then yeah, i suppose its "cool". But to most of us, this is just a clear viral marketing attempt. Its basic marketing, increase awareness for the company, increase profits.
Amazon did a few months ago, profits and awareness of the company increase. But yet, wheres the drones or updates on them? Nowhere, why? Because everyone knows they just wouldn't work in our current world, let alone the laws that would prevent its flight.
This is clear viral marketing, dont be the fool and fall for it.
So, were you going for Hewlett-PFcktard, or is your array index off by one? Or, do you use one of "those" languages where arrays are indexed starting at 1?
No, its a c++ char array. Starts with 0. When using 'Hewlett-Pucktard' as the buffers value, the 9th value is P.

Why do we always end up with the retarded one?
Would this centralized server be your universal remote server?
Is this a serious question? lol
It would be a Desktop PC, constantly mobile. Works only in 64bit with local mouse and keyboard inputs.

Looks like two lesbians to me.
Go Intel, i'am all for this new style of advertising images!
Partially functional software that has to be paid for to get the whole use is called crippleware.
Also known as "Free to Play" in todays world.
And to recycle them in a sustainable way. Problem solved. In general, I think that should be the case for a lot of things.
Spot on. Although the manufacturer would simply send:
- 95% to landfill
- 5% for recycle
Just enough figures to give them some made up "Save the planet" and "Recycle Aware" certification for marketing. Profit!
Oh, an attack on people who use console.
The real problem is, you are an asshole.
And clearly, your one of those "console gamers". Did i hit a nerve?

When somebody says 'the cloud', mentally replace it by 'somebody else's computer'.
Replace 'Cloud' with 'Network'.
Because technically, the buzzword is being used to describe "networked computers with internet access".

My question: if MSI, Gigabyte, Asus (and by extension Asrock) are out, who's left and are they any good?
Are you kidding me?
If its a simple case of you being too lazy to disable UEFI in the bios, dont buy a motherboard with it.
All the manufactures you listed have boards without UEFI, find them before you buy without knowledge.
TAILS opens an official public mailing list with archives!
Personally, I prefer Sonic.
Mr. Mueller then later updated his numbers at a follow-on conference to portray 6,900 kN of sea-level thrust, and 8,200 kN of vacuum thrust.
That took me 20 seconds to find.
Come on, its Slashdot, at least give us some technical information to back up the story.
Mouse and keyboard.

Yep, its Buffer[8].
That will teach me to use slashdot before i've had my morning coffee lol

A big reason we don't build something similar of that scale now is that we tend to frown upon obvious slave labor nowadays.
You didnt get my point, at all.
They built a pyramid, we havn't.
How can we tell them how to build it better, when we cant even achieve what they did 4000+ years ago? lol
No need to tell Noah anything. The flood story is a myth.
Yes, we know. I was just using another example to highlight the above point. You clearly missed that aswell ;)
