More excited for Doom than anything else. I still play it constantly, switching between Jdoom, Skulltag, Zdoom, etc.
Doom 3 was a pretty big letdown but I can't help but being excited for this. I'm hopeful they got away from the boring slow paced, pitch black cheap jump scare model.
Agreed, my girlfriend has graves and has decided to keep her thyroid in the slim chance that a cure will be found. That, and she's not big on the idea of ingesting radioactive iodine to destroy a part of her body, malfunctioning or not.
Hell yes, I've still got an older desktop running windows 95 just to play the older games. Doom has always been my favorite, the music was the best there was at the time (Even though it was all just synth ripoffs of sound garden, slayer, stone temple pilots, Alice in chains, ac/dc, panetra, etc.
What do they plan to do about inaccurate odometers?
Under sized, oversized wheels affect the reading. Or like my car, it just plain doesn't work and is difficult to find a replacement for (1986 and bought it years ago with the odometer broken at 480k miles. It's never broken down, older Saabs are built to last!).
Sign me up. If I had they money, I would do this in a heartbeat.
Probably just one arm though, the non dominate one. Two would freak people out, legs might freak people out in bed.
Note that I'm not saying I would do this right now, just because. I would want it to be an improvement over my existing arm, otherwise it would be an expensive waste.
I didn't expect this much of a shitstorm to erupt from my post.
Interesting comments and debates on "broadcasting", but I'm not interested in technicalities.
It's extremely difficult in current times to not have a cellphone, many jobs require you to have one. Seeing as having a job is pretty essential to our quality of life, not having a cellphone isn't really an option for many of us.
I don't care about technicalities of the law, the definition of broadcasting or the crazy analogies. My expectation is to not be tracked throughout the day without a court order/warrant. I don't think that's much to ask, and I believe many of you would agree with me.
Nothing will change, sadly. Politicians have legalized corporate bribes for their own benefit, what do they care?
All this talk about "hope" and "change", yet Obama went and renewed the patriot act (What a fucking insulting name).
No other country is doing any better. What can we do? Any real action will be immediately called whatever the media buzzword happens to be at the moment (COMMUNIST! Er, I mean, TERRORIST!...uhh....RACIST?). I don't exactly see a friendly way out of this.
They sure do, I've had dialup all my life until a few months ago when I moved. Living outside city limits, there was no other solution unless I wanted to pay $80 a month for satellite with a 3gb data cap.
Looking at some of their unfinished projects, it's surprising how close they may have came to that Hail Mary.
Imagine if they had fully developed the Horten Ho 229, or went through with building the Landkreuzer P. 1000 "Ratte" or even the Landkreuzer P. 1500 "Monster".
That would require some kind of effort on Valves part. Considering their lack of customer support and an F rating from the Better Business Bureau, it would take some kind of divine intervention before that happened.
To add to this, almost everyone knows the TES series always has a massive amount of bugs at launch. Modders usually fix this and offer a free download, the official patch comes months later if at all.
What happens when an independent modder starts to sell these patches?
Does it send a message to game devs telling them that it's okay to release broken games, since a community member will fix it for much less than the cost to pay whomever's job it was to fix it?
Heck, they'd even be getting paid for releasing broken games with this system. Modder makes a patch, they get paid most of the money. Modder does the job of a game dev for pennies.
1: Valve and Bethesda gave themselves 75% of the profit, modders got 25%
2. Almost every significant mod requires the use of the skyrim script extender (free), which introduces legal and moral implications since you would be making money off of the hard work of whomever made the script extender.
3. People were mass uploading/stealing others content to sell on the steam workshop
4. Most of what was being sold had little to no quality control (Game breaking bugs/didn't work/didn't do anything). There was one being sold for a few dollars that didn't actually do ANYTHING other than tell you how to open the console and use cheats manually.
TL;DR: It was a piss poor system for generating more money for Valve and Bethesda with little to no oversight or quality control.
Most of this is due to improperly installed HID conversions (Putting HID bulbs in without projectors/fake projectors). Illegal in most parts of the world except the U.S.

Agreed, if this was practical there are much better applications than a hoverboard.
That's really neat, surprisingly maneuverable for its size.
Anywhere that somebody who knows jack shit about encryption could learn about this?
Wasn't it Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that originally rallied against relying on external entities to store your data?
We've come full circle.

This would be nice but I don't have much hope for it, there are endless new "devices" like these that don't do jack shit.
Sounds terrible though. My girlfriend works in a headache center oddly enough, the stories I hear at the end of the day are disturbing.
Two of their patients have committed suicide in the last month, drug overdose.
Sounds like the next big leap in planned obsolescence.

This reminds me of the recent outcry of "3d printed guns".
There have been radio controlled planes for AGES. Why is this suddenly a big deal?
Because the military now uses them, so they're scary now? Because the media buzzword "Drone"?
Why is a subject that was a complete non-issue a few years ago suddenly so scary and must be regulated more?

No expectation of privacy when using a cellphone?
This worries me. How long before no expectation of privacy when using the internet?
When using a car? (GPS in modern cars)
When do we have an expectation of privacy anymore?
Holy shit. More information, please.
and Ram Air Turbines (RATs), generators that deploy from the wing if the APU won't start.
Holy shit. That is cool, though looking at the pictures I can't stop laughing at how comical it looks.

I'd like to believe it taught me patience.

Seriously. Look up the "Monster". Fucking crazy.
Exactly what I was wondering. Welfare sponsored iDevices, I suppose.
That would require some kind of effort on Valves part. Considering their lack of customer support and an F rating from the Better Business Bureau, it would take some kind of divine intervention before that happened.

Zero-day exploit? In word press? What a surprise. I totally didn't see that one coming.

Most of the outrage was caused for four reasons:
1: Valve and Bethesda gave themselves 75% of the profit, modders got 25%
2. Almost every significant mod requires the use of the skyrim script extender (free), which introduces legal and moral implications since you would be making money off of the hard work of whomever made the script extender.
