  1. 500 Internal Server error? on Star Trek Online Open Beta Starts Today · · Score: 1

    Now there a promising start for a "M"MORPG.

    You know what else? Those kids these days, they play their music so damn loud. How much power is that using?

    But of course Sony wants to milk that cash cow ...

    I think she's still going by "Kirsten", actually.

    Dollars to dimes, the Microsoft code was from a Chinese contractor who stole it from Netscape.

    Ah, the lost generation. Before the common introduction of bike helmets, literally every single kid in the world died twice an hour. It's true, I saw it on a chart on the internets once.

    Your 4th party anecdote is exactly the problem: a bad thing happened to someone, so now everyone is risk averse.

    By the way, do you wear a helmet while driving mommy's Subaru? If not, why not? Do you honestly think the extremely minor inconvenience of wearing a helmet outweighs the significantly reduced chance of serious injury, brain damage and death?

  6. Consider the source on An Android Developer's Top 10 Gripes · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Chris Haseman is an independent software engineer specializing in wireless development. He can be found riding his bike between coffee shops in San Francisco. He's the author of the book Android Essentials (published by Apress). In his spare time, he's a resident DJ at xtcradio.com and a martial arts instructor.

    Also, I hear he's fluent in Sanskrit and can divide by zero.

    A smug superficially supercilious fuck-knuckle hates Android? Well, I guess I'll give it a second look then! I know which 'essential' book about it to avoid, at least.

  7. Re:More complicated and less fun on Average Budget For Major, Multi-Platform Games Is $18-28 Million · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's an apples to apples comparison. What you're saying that you can't compare Friday Daddy assraping you to Tuesday Daddy buttfucking you, because Tuesday Daddy has a much bigger shlong. That's quite literally worse than anything that Hitler ever did.

    And as an individual, she can't just slough it off by declaring bankruptcy. If she'd acted as the CEO of a limited company, she could have just walked away. Lesson learned?

    I'll type this really slowly to make it easy for you to understand:

    The government is not trying to help me get into a Volt. They're taking money from me in order to help someone else get into a Volt.

    You seem to think that "fair" means "agrees with you". There's a bright future for you in either politics, or professional refereeing.

    ...that's still too expensive for Joe Shiftworker. Doesn't it just give you a warm fuzzy to see people driving past you in cars that you can't afford to buy because the Government gouged you so hard in order to give your tax money to the people who can afford to buy them?

  12. They can only sue you for money that you have on How To Judge Legal Risk When Making a Game Clone? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So if you ever make any, spend some of it on an accountant(*) and get him to set up two companies: one incorporated in Elbonia that has all the assets, and a shell development company with all the liabilities. Don't contest any lawsuit, just smile, punt the shell company into bankruptcy, and set up another one.

    This isn't meant to be flippant; it's a model that works just fine for Hollywood. Ask any creative type who's ever tried to get any money out of a studio.

    (*) Accountants are much like lawyers, except that they're cheaper, and they can be harmed with conventional weapons.

    What, you mean exactly like the more-than-just-a-level-editor in (for example) Neverwinter Nights?

    Just because it's the first level editor that you've used does not make it original or special.

    Do they publish though? One of the endemic problems with Chinese students is that many of them can't communicate in English worth a damn, to the extent that they pay people to sit communication entrance exams for them.

    Presumably the people that had faults with Apple power adapters and iBook logic (and thermal paste jizzing) were merely imagining the issues as well, right up to the point where Apple admitted them, at which time they became real.
