I don't think you understood my point. My point is they're better off spending money making their Windows drivers/profiles better because that's where they have the most customers and since they don't have nearly the money, which you can see for yourself, they're better off spending it where they get the biggest return. As you pointed out that likely includes the consoles.
The STEAM store shows 504 pages of Windows games @ 25 per page = ~12,600 titles. OS X shows 173 pages @ 25 pages = ~4325 titles. Linux + SteamOS shows 99 pages @ 25 pages = 2475 titles but according to steamdb.info which has actual numbers for this category but not the other 2 there are 1,140 titles that work with 499 hinting at support.
This says nothing of sales numbers. Linux has gotten a big boost for gaming from Valve but it's still a distant 3rd and that's only in the PC gaming world and doesn't account for consoles at all.
I doubt AMD has the resources to dedicate to shit like this when they're consistently not the leader of anything. My speculation is that the only reason they still exist so to keep Intel/Nvidia out of monopoly court.
(I work in public schools) once told a teacher that the network problems in her lab were because bad data was trapped in the cables and he went around and unplugged everything and left.
I honestly still don't know if he was fucking with her or serious and I had to put it back together again and fix the real issue after.
At my high school, which has no programming classes, my co-worker does lead the robotic's club which uses a simplified version of C to make the robot do things.
We also included Alice on all of our netbooks. It does seem like Scratch is probably more popular these days.
DISCLAIMER: I am not affiliated with any of these and I've only used one of them for like 5 minutes so YMMV. I'm not a programmer at all and the only languages I've spent any time with at all are C and Python and I would barely consider myself an amateur at Python and a nothing at C.
until you defend someone else's right to say something you disagree with. As for the pictures, if they're real, then that's already illegal and I have no doubt a dozen TLAs are already watching.
Having an outlet in text for these kinds of things is far better than having none and then having these people act it out for real in their areas. It can also give people a head's up since some of these people post their manifesto before they act out.
Life is full of unpleasant things. Making it illegal to talk about them does not make them go away; it just allows them to grow in the dark.
I remember a related story a few months ago and I was using Adblock Edge (forked non-sell out version of ABP) and advocating it. People kept spamming my thread saying that uBlock was better. So I tried it out and am now a convert. It is in fact lighter weight and nearly transparent, but since they don't pay for placement you have to search for it 2x in the add-ons to find it.
I primarily use Firefox, with uBlock (you can enable even stricter subsets of rules if you want, I did without issue), HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger (the last 2 are from the EFF). I only see ads at work on other people's machines. There are other good add-ons for other stuff but this + wipe everything on browser close and private windows are nice.
The only memory leaks seem to come from anything Flash based. So I'm forced to kill/restart FF every few days or it gets progressively slower and slower. I've noticed it's not really an issue without something running Flash.
I think people/gov't vastly underestimate unemployment. Our system is skewed very much in favor of big business and they know it because they paid for it to be that way.
Just look how the president is lobbying for Silicon Valley pay scale bulldozing.
for the OS. For storage they still need time. I just bought another 4 TB Hitachi Deskstar for my tower because I need the room. I can't wait until the capacity and prices of SSDs match mechanical. I just wish they had something better than a half-truth telling SMART built in.
I see a lack of imagination. The fact is *EVERYONE* lies. Whether it's polite white lies to save feeling or nasty malicious backstabbing for revenge or out of jealousy or whatever.
Do you *LOVE* your job? Want to repeat your answer and look deep in to the eye scanner please? Do you agree 100% with everything your company does and its "mission"? Again, please look directly in to the eye scanner, thanks. --- This could literally go on forever. Refuse to take the eye scan test? Auto-fired.
Also, people will obviously equate an 82% success rate with 100% success rate. Even shitty lie detector tests get this reputation with the masses, want to face a jury of your peers with these things? Really?
It gets deeper. How about when these are used on video clips? Live broadcasts? Maybe people aren't naturally equipped to be 100% lie detectors for good reasons?
Zero Punctuation from The Escapist and Ben Croshaw is fucking hilarious - these are short, fast paced game reviews done in flash animation if you're not familiar.
Red Letter Media for Half in the Bag, Best of the Worst, and of course Mr. Plinkett. These are movie reviews, commentary and sometimes satire from movie buffs. The most well known (and the reason I still regularly check back) are the scathing several hours long multi-part dissections of the Star Wars Prequels there are some for a few other things as well but the eloquence and insight in the Star Wars Prequel diatribes is really something spectacular and worth watching (it will put in to words what you probably felt).
Even further removed from blogs... Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic where two different ventures from the cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000 continue doing what they did sans puppets. I prefer Rifftrax of the 2, and collect them both.
I recently read this book this documentary is based on. The doctor who wrote it harps on this point to the degree it sounds preachy and fear mongery in the text.
The most interesting parts of the book were the stories which were ostensibly from cases with the names changed.
This is exactly what I mean. Personally, I've been in a relationship with my g/f for almost 10 years and lived together for 7.
I'm not really in a hurry to get married, because who gives a fuck, and I don't particularly enjoy The State involved in my personal life.
As I've said before, I work for a public school district which means shitty pay and worse benefits (contrary to popular belief) so I'm on her insurance as a domestic partner. I'm worried this ruling means the death of such options.
I am worried about what this will do to domestic partnerships. There are a lot of people under the insurance and other things of their domestic partners. Does this mean forced marriage?
is defined by protecting the right to say things you don't agree with.
This is every bit as stupid as people going to jail in Germany for teaching their dog to give a Nazi salute. (they're even trying to re-educate the dog to shake instead... who's the crazy fuck now?)
The rage on Steam over this is truly epic. If you're a fan of schadenfreude check out the forums for it. People have blamed everyone but the Pope thus far.
That's pretty broad and vague. Does the website which is registered in my name but which is actually my girlfriend's for the local comedy scene count? It has no ads but helps comedians get stage time, some of it paid.
It seems to me that any site with an ad portal or an affiliate program link would count. Not just people selling widgets.
As for random harassment, apparently we've been in different online circles;) it was very common in the crowd I ran with 20 years ago and still happens on occasion - I've even had to deal with at work (not directed at me but people coming to complain someone did something on 3rd party site I have 0 control over aka fake Facebook accounts for harassment).
It doesn't stop law enforcement but it does make it harder for every random asshole with a grudge to mail you elephant shit. or, you know, threaten your family, stalk your pets, whatever.

Maybe this was the plan all along. Get a huge tax break, and get essentially free patents to troll with.

Yes I remember, and had completely forgotten until you reminded me.
How many people will refrain from posting because the statute of limitations hasn't run out yet?

Mod parent up. Supreme Commander is a shadow of TA's greatness (and the recent remake is very VERY distant 4th, I'm counting TA:Kingdoms as 2nd).
