I'm actually quite surprised to see that engineers are more likely to be religious than not.
Considering the fields that we (Engineers) study and how they generally explain how everything in the universe works as far as we can tell, that's strange.
It reminds me of what Neil DeGrasse Tyson said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Of the elite of the elite scientists of the world, 15% of them still have a personal relationship with a god in the vein of religion. Why is that number not zero?"
The level of entitlement people have today is overwhelming, and they're more than happy to share with you about how mad they are that Amazon sells "Fuck the Police" T-Shirts and how Starbucks doesn't have Christmas themed coffee cups anymore.
Nobody gives a shit and neither should you, stop being so conceited.
"These savings go straight to the bottom line."
Yeah, right to the bottom line of the CEO's pockets.
Also, they are not releasing these games in beta.....these are full releases.
If a company releases a game in alpha or beta for testing and tweaking, then that's fine, but when you try to pass off a barely assembled game as something that's finished, it's bullshit.
Would you buy a car that was made the same way as Arkham Knight? Or Assassin's Creed Unity?
Don't think so.
I think we need to look a little deeper than is it ethical to review a broken/buggy game.
This stems way back to when games had to be right when they were released. If you fudged up somewhere in your game, you had to recall all your cartridges/disks/whathaveyou and eat that loss.
Now you can push out a broken game in half the time and work on it as the company sees fit, it's almost like renting out a home before you even put the drywall in. Makes no sense to me.
I'm still confused as to why the FDA has any say on what this man is allowed to do.... Sounds like another gov org overstepping their boundaries......again.
Only a 2 hour battery life? Why even bother?
Make the battery bigger, that will also help with bouyancy issues. If you're trying to get down to the Mariana Trench, 2 hours is cutting it short.

I'm done risking life and limb going into walmart at frickin 4am after turkey day.
If you wait that long, all the good deals will be gone.
Walmart will be open at 6 PM on Thanksgiving Day....and so will a lot of other stores.
They're just not mentioning that Thursday is Thanksgiving Day.

Oh I'm well aware. My wife, sister and I went out last year at 6 to get some of the deals.
I traversed the sea of idiots last year while waking from my turkey coma just to get a 25 dollar LG Bluray player.
Never again.
If I had to go talk to Obama, I would seek 15 Million in compensation as well.
We can't have American singles day unless you can find 00/00 on the calendar.
Internet shopping has for the most part made brick-and-mortar shopping a thing of the past.
These deals are not so, you can normally find the same items with better prices online a week after black friday.

Just finished reading this article all the way through, it's fucking disgusting.
And yet, I can see how easy it would be for this to happen in the first place.
He's basically a 21st century Charles Manson, I'll bark if you bite.
The holocaust was legal back in the 1930's, that doesn't make it right though does it?
PC. I wouldn't waste my time with last gen hardware.
MMMhhhmmmmm.......Frankensalmon
The "Freedom Act"
Sounds almost as good as the Patriot Act. /s
I think we should just experiment on PETA activists....that'll shut em up.
Hell. I wish this existed back when I was a young tyke.
Although, I would be much more interested in learning to code if I had something like that at my disposal.
I have been told that the less one pays attention to the stupidity around them, the happier one is. I'm working on implementing that. It's not easy.
This couldn't be more true and your absolutely right.
The more you know, the harder it is to sleep soundly at night.
The level of entitlement people have today is overwhelming, and they're more than happy to share with you about how mad they are that Amazon sells "Fuck the Police" T-Shirts and how Starbucks doesn't have Christmas themed coffee cups anymore.

I would be perfectly ok with ads on the television if I didn't already pay 80 USD a month for Directv.
He's not wrong, iOS is definitely easier to code for due to the far lower number of devices compared to the user base.
Although, I use my phone as a phone. If I want to play a game, I go home and boot my PC up.
We can have Pluto again?

People gladly get paid to lie openfaced to better a product image. If it wasn't for that, I don't think this would be an issue.

Population Control just got a whole lot more entertaining.

What a time to be alive. I've often dreamt of playing raiding in EQ without ever leaving the bed.
Better put your boots on......It's getting deep and sticky in here.
